Homeowners getting overwhelmed is quite natural when it comes to designing a new home. Sometimes a residential architect might also put in few confident-sounding words along with the design to ease the whole process. And that helps folks! A reliable architect means you could breathe easy and watch your new home come into existence. Most people do some inventory and categorizing before meeting with a residential architect.

“Abstraction allows man to see with his mind what he cannot see physically with his eyes.” ? Arshile Gorky, Painter. OUR TRUEST NATURE. As I paint abstractions, I am seeing more deeply into the past, current, and even future world: within nature, built environments, and people. Through abstraction I am able to tap into the intangible essence of these elements, to uncover their hidden potential and beauty.

What is architecture? How do we define architecture as a profession, as a practice, as a concept? I’ve been talking a lot about this lately with colleagues on this topic, so I wanted to attempt a definition of architecture, in my opinion. I have a feeling this is going to be a controversial stance. The post What is Architecture? first appeared on Life of an Architect.

When success arrives, when scientists achieve the “eureka” moment, they often describe their reaction in aesthetic terms. In 1957, Richard Feynman and Murray Gell-Mann developed a theory of interaction between fundamental particles. The theory did not agree with some recent experiments but had aesthetic qualities that convinced its authors.

Car Lift Installation. Car Lift Activation. There are many different types of car lifts, and all are less expensive than adding additional bays to your garage, even if you have room on your existing site. Plan ahead for a future car space (lift) when designing your new home or addition. You may already have room in your existing garage, depending on your car sizes, garage size, and type of lift.

In his early 20th century writings, the poet-architect, Paul Scheerbart, forecasted extravagant forms of glazed architecture that broke free from the emerging modernist mould. He imagined something futuristic and fantastical – decorating our metropolises with tantalisingly tilting, kaleidoscopic colour rather than the sober-hued vertical planes we have come to know.

WHY I CREATE ART. Within the book entitled Drawing to See , the Italian architect Carlo Scarpa states: “I want to see, and that is why I draw. I can see an image only if I draw it” This sentiment holds true for me as well. When I create art, I am able to see more deeply into my curiosities, experiments, surroundings, and even into myself and others.

Space Management in Residence. Nowadays architecture is less about complicated styles and plans, but more about maximizing the minimal. Space management is the process of controlling and managing space with proper planning and designing. Managing the space with planning will help to ensure the utilization of the floor space without wasting it and will increase the functionality of the space.

For the frequent travellers and business passengers of German airline Lufthansa and partner association Star Alliance, the question of whether they will continue to receive special service and attention once things have returned to so-called normality, post-pandemic, might be answered, in part, with a visit to Milan. In Malpensa, the larger of the two airports in the design and fashion metropolis, the Lufthansa Lounge had already been redesigned before the Corona pandemic hit.

The first post about the design of the fanlight is here: [link] Considering the 'leaves' of the fanlight, those 3 curved petals that fan out from the base of the light: how did Lavius Fillmore, the master builder, and his crew, especially Asa Hyde, the joiner, derive the pattern? The layout that I drew of the leaves in the last post is too complex. The church is graceful and direct.

Happy pigs Walking along a street in Hereford, a city I’ve visited a number of times, I saw this tile panel, clearly one produced for a butcher’s shop, that I’d never previously noticed. How can I not have seen this before? I have walked along this street more than once, on at least one other occasion noting the features of other old shop fronts hereabouts.

If a pop or film star in his or her role as an artist as well as in his or her private life embodies a break in an established norm of values, he or she is referred to as an icon: Madonna is one, Audrey Hepburn was another. In fashion, Karl Lagerfeld let himself be called one, as did Vivien Westwood. The Orthodox Church, on the other hand, calls images of saints - derived from the ancient Greek word eikon, for "image" - icons.

Chapel in a garden Bridport’s Unitarian chapel was built in the 1790s after a group split from an existing independent congregation in 1742. The then minister, Thomas Collins, refused to affirm the divinity of Christ, leading some 200 people to leave and set up their own congregational chapel elsewhere in the town. Those who remained continued under Collins’ ministry, and in 1974 they agreed to build a new chapel, then called the New Meeting, the building that survives today.

Not by the metre and not hand-knotted either; not carpet art, but definitely unique: if you talk to Sascha Schiller about his company FLAT'N, something quickly crystallises that you might not suspect at first glance, but which makes the brand very special: namely, the possibility of practically limitless customisability – and that even with an order quantity of one.

Sustainability begins with a conversation, and acquiring customer buy-in is entirely dependent on how the conversation is framed. Clients may not see sustainability as a priority out of fear of operational costs and quality. While these are legitimate concerns, it is our responsibility as architects to listen and foster a collaborative culture that answers client issues while also reducing our carbon footprint.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not an Artist. Don’t get me wrong—I believe I’m a creative person. I sketch, and craft, and write, and build all the livelong day. All of which are skills that many Artists take great pride in. But I still don’t consider myself an Artist. So it got me thinking—is there a way to articulate this mindset? When I talk to creative people, I find that they fall on a spectrum of creativity.
