Exploring the nature of architectural structure and different styles

Brief + Specification

Aiming for a higher and larger scale building, I want to further investigate Neoclassical architecture is the revival of Classical architecture. The style is very reminiscent of the Greek and Roman forms. This resulted in 18thcentury buildings somewhat resembling Greek and Roman temples.

Neoclassical architecture is defined by clean, elegant lines, uncluttered appearance, free-standing columns and massive buildings. Some of the more popular examples are the Bank of England Building in Liverpool, the White House in the United States, and the General Post Office in Dublin.

This is not always necessarily true, and that’s why involving sustainability experts early in the design process is a critical decision. Working with a design team that understands the complexities, demands, and challenges of constructing a sustainable building will be able to better offer proven solutions that can deliver both the required environmental benefits and cost-efficiency.

Or even resulting in a mixture of styles such as the Post-Modernist architects launched in design movement in the 1960s. The postmodern designs incorporated artistic ornamentation and decorative elements into the building’s façade as opposed to just the clean lines upheld by modernist styles.

The Post-modernist style refused to be boxed to just one type so designs often drew inspiration from a mix of architectural styles. For some buildings, this combination often resulted to a somewhat hybrid and whimsical design.

The Vanna Venturi House in Pennsylvania, USAdesigned by Robvert Venturi is one of the first prominent structures of the postmodern architecture movement. Two famous structures designed by architect Frank Gehry, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and the Dancing House in Prague are also notable examples. In the UK, the SIS Building and the No 1 Poulty in London are some examples.

Brief

The whole building seems to base around old style an even somewhat on a budget, that’s something I want to completely change, creating my design into is something new and attractive, to make it almost like a new city, modern tech.

Including a main hall and redesigning the whole restaurant, including rooms, which I want to update in many ways, I know premier focuses on a white and purple colour scheme, which will also go along side, while giving an idea of my own.

BurjAl Arab Jumeirah, Dubai

Burj al-Arab, building in Dubai that was designed by Tom Wright and completed in 1999. The Burj al-Arab is as much a symbol of Dubai as the Eiffel Tower is of Paris and the Opera House of Sydney. It represents Dubai’s economic boom and orientation toward the future. It was built to resemble the billowing sail of a dhow, a type of boat, and it is located on an artificial island. Two “wings” arranged in a V-shape form a vast “mast,” and the space between them houses a massive atrium, 590 feet (180 m) tall. This allows for a small, albeit tall, lobby space around a cascading water feature flanked by high-end boutiques and restaurants.

Ryugyong Hotel, Pyongyang

The building began to be built in 1987 as a response “communist” to his alter-ego “capitalist”, the Stamford Hotel in Singapore, opened in 86. It was thought that could attract Western investment, but the operation resulted not.

Around since 1992, having been completed, this would have been the tallest hotel worldwide. The construction has been stalled by lack of funding and because the North Korean economy could not continue with the bulging budget. It is estimated that the cost of construction exceeds $ 700 million, which took a considerable amount of North Korean budget for several years.

Victor Vasarely’s complex paintings and sculptures helped define the ethos of the Op art movement. The artist’s vibrant compositions feature a mix of rigidly geometric and more fluid forms which, when combined with monochromatic or diverse colour palettes, produce the optical illusions that give Op art its name. Vasarely studied medicine at the University of Budapest before dropping out to embrace a career in visual art.

François Morellet embraced impersonal, geometric forms and a sense of detachment throughout his multidisciplinary practice. He made paintings, sculptures, neon works, and installations underpinned by an appreciation for systems-based approaches to artmaking. Grids and patterns pervade his oeuvre. With artists including Julio Le Parc, Morellet cofounded the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV), which focused on actively engaging viewers through immersive, multisensory installations.

François Morellet Victor

The idea of movement and progression through different forms of art, as seen from these drawings, I experimented with colours to see each detail in either brighter or darker saturations, this helps me to get a better understanding of what I may be working with.

Experimentation

Models part.1.

Some areas I designed more details others was more outerior, the scheme of this allowed my imagination to base around flow, like a dinosaur fossil

My models, were genuinely random builds, with which I proceeded to draw around

Part.2.

The artists I had chosen had based their art around composition of different layouts, being it random shapes to create another shape or form, therefor this interested me with the use of a shape to create something different

Part.3.

heydar aliyev center

As part of the former Soviet Union, the urbanism and architecture of Baku, the capital ofAzerbaijan on the Western coast of the Caspian Sea, was heavily influenced by the planning of that era. Since its independence in 1991, Azerbaijan has invested heavily in modernising and developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture, departing from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism. Zaha Hadid Architects was appointed as design architects of the Heydar Aliyev Center following a competition in 2007. The Center, designed to become the primary building for the nation’s cultural programs, breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so prevalent in Baku, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities ofAzeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future.

The design of the Heydar Aliyev Center establishes a continuous, fluid relationship between its surrounding plaza and the building’s interior. The plaza, as the ground surface; accessible to all as part of Baku’s urban fabric, rises to envelop an equally public interior space and define a sequence of event spaces dedicated to the collective celebration of contemporary and traditional Azeri culture. Elaborate formations such as undulations, bifurcations, folds, and inflections modify this plaza surface into an architectural landscape that performs a multitude of functions: welcoming, embracing, and directing visitors through different levels of the interior. With this gesture, the building blurs the conventional differentiation between architectural object and urban landscape, building envelope and urban plaza, figure and ground, interior and exterior.

Plantation ideas

Plantation to any type of architecture is key, since it gives the building life

Here I schemed through a few different flowers, plants and trees, it gives me a concept of what may occur during my development

I also needed to think about the weather and what can occur if the weather changed and even effected the building

Mushrooms

are a good use for the idea of flow and composition, since different breeds differing from each other can go into the idea of my building

Experimentation

When I further got into the idea of my building I understood that I could play around with the layout, wether it being more combined or further apart. This allowed me to understand what the inside would depend on

Here I choose to design 3 main areas for the guests, pavilion, stair case and reception. Making each one more exciting and properly laced out

The importance of having the flowing feeling through out the space was important to follow, this shows the design of the area lay out, from the building to the inside and even the furniture

Simple

and creative rooms, now become home like, the warmth and space given can give a customer the feeling of safety and happiness, which every hotel would like to achieve

I sitting the artists and the creators of many of the buildings I had chosen, gave me freedom to make it flow and attract customers from around the world, visitors. The building may change but the concept will remain the same
