This project contributes to the change of how we should think of designing things. It clearly defines that life constantly changes over time and architecture, like it or not, follows that change, and this project shows that path.

There are no rules in the design, which might be more about creativity in approaching a sollution af a problem, which is the increase of human population over time.

Dome House McBride Charles Ryan

Located in a suburban area of Melbourne, the Dome House is a “homegarden” project with simple geometrical form of a subtracted sphere. This is a really nice example of a PostModernism architecture style, of which, at the time, most of the people start going on about “fixing” the environment and to live with it. The Dome House gives a sense of closeness to nature in its urban area as it tries to embrace the environments.


“Liquid architecture. It’s like jazz - you improvise, you work together, you play off each other, you make something, they make something. And I think it’s a way of - for me, it’s a way of trying to understand the city, and what might happen in the city.” - Frank Gehry

Walt Disney Concert Hall Designed by the architect Frank Gehry, the Walt Disney Concert Hall is one of the most acoustically sophisticated hall in the world. The fluid form not only can be seen on the exterior of this hall, but also on the interior. It expresses the function of this hall as a musical hall (the movement of the structural elements is like telling a story to the visitors). With this, it creates its own era of architectural design in the 21st century, which explores a free-form concept with the help of computational design and material invention.
