Architectural design Architectural Design (AD) was first launched in 1930 in the UK as its architectural based journal. By then it was just a British scene which thereafter spread and became international. Architecture has then taken great revolution from time to time. There are several Current Trends in Architectural Designs which have taken place since its launch (Anderson, 2011). Architecture is dependent on current trends. It was comparable with any other form of art, whether it is music, fashion
role in architectural design. Nature is simple, organic, and appealing to all. There are set rules in which nature has always followed. Because plants, water, earth, and other natural elements always follow these rules, their natural symmetry and stature are considered attractive. Why would any designer or artist choose to ignore these rules that have been followed by unarguably beautiful artwork? Marc-Antoine Laugier also believes nature is a very important factor when designing architectural structures
Is the architectural design of modern homes slowly changing back to the architectural design of castles in the Middle Ages? If design of homes is changing back to design of castles is it a reflection on our society that castles of the Middle Ages were built primarily for defense. Does this mean that as a society we are tying to pull away from each other? There are many similar characteristics and features between modern homes and castles that are incorporated into the design specifically for defense
History Of Digital Architectural Design Abstract Digital design technology rapid evaluation and development have affected architecture and urban design in general. Digital design became an integral part of the architectural design process. Computer aided design and digital simulation have led to new forms as well as to an increasingly strategic approach to architecture. From the early sketching process all the way to the production of building components, digital tools offer new possibilities
CS-7014 Week 5 - Assignment: Main Task: Explain Problematic Implementation Introduction Architectural design refers to the mechanisms that are used to frame the structure of a computer-based system. Proper architectural designs enable a computer system to develop its compatibility feature. Compatibility in this sense refers to the manner in which the computer- based systems fulfill the needs of the users (Denford, O’Neill & Leaney, 2003). Transform characteristics can be considered as one of the
With the interaction between the development of computational approaches in architecture and the contemporary forms of spatial design intelligence, some new architectural design theories emerged to make differences between architects and control designing processes. These theories are almost employed in all designing realms, from architecture to urban design to provide fields of ideas and solutions that privilege by complexity. Most of these theories are oriented to relay on understanding and using
itself with numerous museums to catalog countless masterpieces and sculptures throughout France’s enduring, yet sometimes gritty, history. As a whole, Paris comprises of a mixture between historic architectural themes like rusticated brick clad, mansard roofs, striated columns, and a modern day architectural themes like engineered metalwork, and external program support machinery. The notion of classic French architecture, juxtaposed to modern French architecture, creates unsettled opinions about the
Architectural Studies: Diocletian Palace Tasanee Durrett ARC 231 History/Theory of Architecture I Professor Schrenk March 11th, 2014 Introduction In the subsequent pages, I have investigated the architectural design of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Croatia. It will be noted the overall purpose of the residence and its materiality. The essential structural aspects and formal significances will also be investigated throughout the paper. Additionally, there
educate individuals on art. These pieces of art were filling palaces, homes, and other public structures to educate individuals on the wealth of the beneficiaries as well as the theme of the art that the walls would contain. Since that time, museum architectural deigns and the art held within the structures have changed very drastically. There has been a large shift recently in the museum community with individuals coming to art museums not out of their drive to be educated and enlightened, but rather
There were several topics to choose for this essay, but architectural earthquake-resistant design was best fitted for my Gaming/Animation degree for a few reasons. The first reason is I have had the privilege to take several art history classes that focused on architecture throughout the world. Secondly, I am learning how to use 3d modeling programs such as, Maya and Cinema 4d. To become successful with those programs, I have to learn about the interior as well as the exterior to make the models
by the evolution of digital technologies not only as production process and design techniques but also as the way of thinking. Computer is an exciting new graphic medium and a research instrument that permits rapid visualization of design but it is unable to explore design, theory and systematic methods. Professionals use digital technology to improve the effectiveness in practice and for better performance of design/build process. Technology affects architects on two planes – first at skill level
In the history of architecture there often was a discrepancy between what the architect wants to design and what the client wants to have. In fact, sometimes an architect will do a great design and acquire awards for his design but maybe the client or user have an aversion to it. Stater (2002) and Misra (2002) argue this issue in a distinct way. In the article " it is just not Cricket", Stater (2002) explain the relationships between the architect and clients in different cases and gives two
Engagement P30026 - Design Literature Review Date of Submission - 8 November 2013  “do you sell ice cream?” “no. we sell architecture design, community development and consultation, interactive workshops and service design.” The ideas and practices of community-led design has been around and practiced for a long time, especially so within the field of architecture, urban design and master planning (Alexiou et al., 2013). Ralph Erskine, one of the pioneers in community-led design, has shown in his
by the city’s unique creative structures and spaces. Just imagining myself engaging with space and culture to design a piece of art to set amongst these great masterpieces thrills me. These innovations are what genuinely cause me to crave a deeper understanding of the field and inspire me to learn more about the intricacies of architecture. Advanced Mathematics, Physics, and Art and Design are the subjects that I find most fascinating. Through mechanical studies in Physics and thematic experimentations
Newcastle, mentioned that the colours used in the building’s design are calming, as the architects have used light pastel hues of blue, green and purple. Other two interviewees (Interviewees No 3 and 5) answered that colours don’t affect their mood primarily because they got used to seeing these buildings every day. Nevertheless, Meerwein et. al. (2007:63) claim that ‘the possibility and intensity’ of the colour influence on mood in architectural environment ‘depend on people and their personal mood’.
is one of the most original English architects. Soane’s personal style is superficially Neo-Classical, but with his interest in death and ruins Soane was also very much at the forefront of the picturesque design. Whilst Gottfried Semper (1803 -79), a German architect, took up Neo-Renaissance design as well as a belief that in the expression of the function of a building in its exterior, including any decorative. This paper will concentrate upon examine the difference and similarities of those two prominent
Coffered ceilings are an option to add visual and architectural interest and instant personality to any space, no matter a large or a smaller one. Actually, coffers are repeated sunken panels, usually yet not necessarily square or rectangular, trimmed with boxed beams. This ceiling treatment, which can be traced back in architectural history to ancient Rome, was reinvented by the 1800s. Whether using wood, including reclaimed panels and beams, drywall, plaster, tin tiles, moldings, hand-painted
Behind every architectural work there is an architect, whether the architect is one man or woman, a small group, or an entire people. The structure created by any of these architects conveys a message about the architect: their culture, their identity, their struggles. Because of the human element architects offer to their work not just a building is made, but a work of art, a symbol of a people, a representation, is also created. “The history of the world’s great architecture is the astonishing
its historical time line thus far. It begs the question though, does it work as an architectural treasure of Northern Ireland or is it a reaction to turbulent periods in Belfast’s history. Within this critique it is hoped that it can be proven that this museum has gone from a prestigious neoclassical style building standing alone on the southern edge of the botanic garden, to an embracing contextural architectural element that is trying to make a correlation with is surroundings. It’s this embrace
