504 PRESENTATION of ARCHITECTURE in ARTWORKS https://lnkd.in/f7SAj2N Art with capriccios (realistic) buildings have been mildly altered with dramatic environmental setting. These were perhaps lessons from sets for performance stages, where illumination, masking screen curtains, placement distance and angles, etc. were used to create appropriate atmospheres. Many of the artists of earlier periods (themselves substantial architects), were fairly conversant with the technicalities of construction. The problems of depicting the built-spaces for Incorporeal Forms were very different. First issue was how to show a ‘heavenly’ built-form for such heavenly forms?

Is the majestic Art Deco style of the 1930s truly fading away, or can we still preserve its serene use of rounded and semi-rounded architectural forms? #OldMeetsNew #HeritageArchitecture #ModernHeritage #TimelessDesign #TraditionAndInnovation #RestorationArchitecture #ArchitecturalHarmony

Two exhibitions on the oeuvre of architect Myron Goldfinger share a title. The exhibitions reference Goldfinger’s self-professed infatuation with Platonic geometric form. https://ow.ly/nUX850Uusit

MAXXI Museum by Zaha Hadid: A parametric urban campus that creates a multi-directional sequence of pathways to mimic the flow of urban life- and also the topic of my undergrad architecture dissertation. Built between the years 1998-2009 and situated amongst former barracks in Rome, MAXXI was awarded the Stirling Prize of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2010. When faced with the physical fluidity of the space, initially influenced by the delta of a river, it is clear that Hadid turned towards the new discipline of architectural design dependent on new image-making processes and computers generated algorithms: a term rendered the concept of ‘parametricism’. The interior of Hadid’s structure appears to be the main event in relation to the motif of an immersive experience for its users. The fluid pathways throughout the gallery are evoked by the curved concrete walls, which Hadid herself describes as similar to a wave breathing on a cliff. The constant motif of water is accompanied by ongoing sounds of dripping water through the pipes of the interior. Zaha Hadid has conjured a parametric, post-modern milestone that juxtaposes its surrounding urban environment, yet encourages the development of Italy towards a more contemporary cultural reset. 📸 by: Emilia Tudor @space.forthesoul on Instagram #architecture #interiordesign #parametricdesign #zahahadid #maxximuseum #concrete #inspiration #creative #postmodern

One emerging museum design trend is blurring the lines separating indoor and outdoor spaces. Designers have focused on taking advantage of their particular regions’ surrounding natural spaces through museum design, blending presentation through art, architecture, and nature. Read this article to explore three recent examples showing how landscape views have enhanced exhibit space: https://hubs.la/Q02XxdV60 #modernarchitecture #museums #museumdesign #sustainabledesign #architecture #architects #architectureanddesign #designers #naturaldesign #fundermax #createwithfundermax #architect #sustainablematerials #morethanapanel #foryoutocreate

Perceptual Grid - Reflections on our design work - Part 3 In the tranquility of Bastides, where shadows play with ancient stones, I first learned to listen to architecture’s subtle murmur. These early lessons, absorbed while juggling multiple jobs to put myself through school, have stayed with me. Decades later, they influence our current projects, shaped by what we call the 'Perceptual Grid'. This approach helps bridge the past with the present, allowing each space to evolve as it's felt. It's about creating architectural experiences that not only exists in time but also converses with it, reinterpreting tradition for modern times. We hope this post contributes to you finding your joy. Hand Sketch by Howard Chu, Saintes, France 1993

'Archipelagic Void' is this year's Serpentine Pavilion, designed by Korean architect Minsuk Cho. You can also hear more about the journey from concept to completion on the Scaffold podcast, hosted by Matthew Blunderfield and presented by the The Architecture Foundation  The Pavilion features five timber structures encircling an open void that draws in natural light. Inspired by traditional Korean homes with central courtyards, these structures connect to the Serpentine South gallery and nearby park pathways. Inside, the design hosts Jang Young-Gyu's sound installation, which blends nature sounds with traditional Korean music alongside 'The Library of Unread Books', a living library of donated unread books curated by Herman Chong and Renée Staal. The largest structure, the Auditorium, offers space for public gatherings and events. Commenting on the project, Minsuk Cho says, "We have a demanding role as architects, and I think movies are a good comparison: it’s always so polarising – there are serious directors versus blockbuster directors – but there is a way of doing both."

🏛️ The Jewish Museum in Berlin: A Journey Through History and Emotion 📚 The Jewish Museum in Berlin, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, is not just a museum—it’s an emotional experience. The architecture itself is meant to evoke feelings of disorientation and anxiety, reflecting the tumultuous history of the Jewish people in Germany. Architectural Highlights: Zigzag Design 🌀: The building’s zigzag shape, often described as a 'disjointed Star of David,' creates an unsettling pathway through the museum. Void Spaces 🕳️: Empty, unheated voids run through the building, representing the absence and loss experienced during the Holocaust. Garden of Exile 🌳: Tilted columns and uneven ground in the garden create a sense of instability, mirroring the dislocation of Jews during exile. Visiting the Jewish Museum in Berlin is more than an architectural tour—it's a powerful journey through history, designed to make you feel the weight of the past. Check out our latest article for an in-depth look at this architectural masterpiece. Read More https://lnkd.in/e_KRJZnV 🔍 Have you visited the Jewish Museum in Berlin?

Reviving Art in Architecture: A Look at France's '1% for Art' Policy This Policy is intended to bring new life into architecture by integrating art seamlessly into public spaces. This innovative approach not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of buildings but also fosters cultural growth and appreciation. By allocating this small percentage of construction budgets to art installations, France has set a precedent for other countries to prioritize art in urban development. This strategy promotes creativity, stimulates local economies, and enriches the daily lives of residents and visitors alike. Of course... some applications are better than others. #artintegration #culturaldevelopment #art #architecture #investing #lifestyle #220dots
