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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
