Image Hunt

Image A shows an example of a repetitive pattern design, where a unit is repeated in a pattern that is organized within a grid structure. In image B, on the other hand, there is a single unit which is not repeated but which is designed in a figure-background relationship. The pattern in image A could have continued on any side if it was meant to be larger, yet the dimensions that frame the design in image B  is definite and meaningful in terms of the proportions of the figure to the ground, therefore would be difficult to change.

Image B

Image A

In the image A, there is repetitive pattern design that was used rectangle shapes and their varitations in terms of size and also you can predict the other steps that are not involved in this composition.In Additionally, it was organized within a grid structure.In the image B , we are able to see one single unit that has a two rectangles that they are variation of each other in itself.It is just single and there is no repetition. Because of that It is easy to comprehand and your eyes will not try to catch any continiuty in composition whereas in the image A there is continious flow, you will catch that point and are able to anticipate the next steps.

Adolf Loos’s Ornament and Crime

There is no any entry about ornament or decor until this post and this post is going to about Adolf Loos ideas of ornament and my interpretations as you realize. You probably encounter some ornaments on walls , pavement or some tool that you use in your daily life but have you ever thought about them? What is the function of them? or Are they necessary?  , If we lived in the past time, you would see literally in everywhere however, these questions are still so vital because there are plenty of ornament that we are able to see, when we look at the anywhere. This situation is changing gradually when the time is flowing and the reason of this changing is the new ideas about ornament like Adolf’s.

The basic reason is not directly related with Adolf. Actually, the population was increased and it is going on in every day. Due to that people’s necessities are going up. Specially the most important necessities are houses ,hospitals, stuff like that. Adolf is one of the people who had been aware what is happening and what will be happening in future. It was so obvious thing that while the population and the necessities of people is rising , we should fulfill at the same time. You can say that why ornament  is relevant with this situation. It is important because, ornament is an obstacle for us to fulfill these necessities as Adolf mentioned in this book. There are two main reason about being an obstacle of ornament.

The first reason of being an obstacle of ornament is that it does not have any function in terms of design. It is just repeating of the some master pieces qualities. What do you think about repeating some qualities that belongs the ancient terms? If you wonder my interpretation, they were satisfying necessities and approaching to design of people in that terms however, It is not valid for today. Conditions of today, the interpretation of beauty is different from that terms. Focusing on the problems and  designing something within the functions that is satisfying problems are criteria of beauty for today’s condition. Because of that, ornament is not a function that is able to solve problems and It is just an obstacle or trap for designer. If we do not use ornament , there will be no changing in the design in term of function.

The second reason of being an obstacle of ornament is that takes a lot of time and effort which designers have. Taking a lot of time and effort cause increasing cost of the works and due to that circumstance it is not beneficial for all people. The design diverted for wealthy society. This situation is contrast our mentality. According to our mentality, we design everything for all people necessities not just wealthy community. Moreover, due to that time is so profound for designers,  they prefer spend the time to solve another problem rather than using ornament in the design.

Ramussen’s Experiencing Architecture

All of constructs will be seen their outer shapes when people look at buildings from far away and they can be resembled like sculpture.However there are plenty of things that are really different between architects and sculptors.Sculpture can reflect the decades that it was done and also buildings too yet, the one thing that is helpful to differentiate from each other is accessible to public.This means that buildings are using from people and are made to fulfill for public’s necessities which is office,hospital or airport etc. However, sculptures are just result of an artist’s emotions and they can not response effectively for these necessities.

Sculptures are not be clear for everyone that look at them.The reason for this is, there can be different interpretations of sculptures.However, everything must be legible in architecture.There are some architect’s decision that is about how building is making and there should be a language that everything can be clear.This means that everyone are not be able to interpret from different ways.Artchitects think the necessities and the situations that people will have.After these actors , design can be effective and fulfill for all needs of people.While architects are doing that, they should try to reflect some characteristic features of the decade that they are in.The reason for this is that If they do not pay attention to reflect them ,the buildings are going to be absurd and disturbing.

Getting the characteristic features of the decades is one of the factors which Succesful architect should think on that.One of the other factor is that the building are able to use for the main purpose of people.Buildings are constructing to fulfill some needs of people and If they can not do, they are just meaningless gigantic concrete.The buildings that were made to be solution of problems and needs of people have characteristic soul and this soul reflects on people who works in there.This means that we imagine that there should be skyscraper for financial centre.If architect knows about which is necessities of financial centre and people needs such as, medical things,entertainments and nutrients, architect does the design according to these more than factors.As a result of this design is in promising.

The characteristic soul can be identified with their colour, form , material and the main purpose of use.When we did that financial centre, If architect can get the harmony and find relation of these colours ,forms and materials with idea of financial centre and also include main purpose of use, architect gives a characteristic soul to the building.People can understand this characteristic soul of the building when they entered the building and feel like they in there.This means, these feeling must be imposed when people in there.

Overall, our architects do not just plan to put column, walls, windows or doors.But also we design many spaces that people can use unconsciously. We also make a decision which kind of  emotion people can feel when they are in or how much they are going to feel it.

 

Towards a New Architecture

What was happening to old architecture and architects? What was wrong for Corbusier and he has written this book that is ” Towards a New Architecture”?The first chapter of this book was so interesting for me especially to understand notion of beauty.In this book that Le Corbusier has mentioned about perishing gradually old architecture because of the engineers that was in that terms and those systematic thinking ways.Actually , It was explained like a comparison between architects and engineers works and also he has shown us that architects need to get some ideas from engineers approaching to the problems that humanity have.

The necessities of humanity show us how did humanity developed their selves and in every ages there were plenty of engineers that have worked to supply something special to satisfied these necessities.Owing to their works, the information that engineers discovered assembled with other engineers experience and came to our century and in 19th century, engineers are still doing same thing.They focus on the problems that humanity have and try to solve and think on them.All planes , cars and ships are designed of engineers.We can sincerely say that they are designer and they are also an architect like us. When the engineers are doing that, what have architects been doing except duplicate old masterpiece design again? There was something wrong according to Corbusier while all of these was happening in terms of engineers.

Architecture was being vanished almost by engineers and It is so normal because there is connection between universe and engineers.Mathematics,geometry,physics,biology and chemistry causes these connection more stronger.The reason for this is these are special tools to comprehend the rules of universe.We can say easily that engineers are designer because they knows what is about these science and they can reflect harmony of universe.You can say that okay they are able to do that but where is the design of it? Yeah you right however the most interesting thing in this chapter for me is comprehending beauty of something.

Mentality of beauty is coming from nature of humanity and it means that it relevant with the rules of universe.We are able to observe something beautiful.The reason for this is it has some kind of a harmony with the rules of universe and nature of huminty.That’s why, It stems from our inside that we can not know and we like it.Hence, Using these methods like Mathematics, geometry etc. helps to lead to reach mentality of beauty.Maybe you can understand why engineers are designer and architect too.

As I said that architects need to get some ideas from engineers approaching to the problems that humanity have.The main focus point should not duplicate masterpiece works again and again.There are prevalent problems that increasing population and necessities houses.In this case architects do not need to have any talent.They just should have systematic thinking ways like engineers to solve problems.However while they are doing that, they should keep integrity of harmony of universe and when people look at it, they are able to feel satisfaction with all their emotion.It can be happened with math, geometry etc. with other phenomenons that has harmony with the rules of universe.

Are All Designer Composer?

 

 

(Rıt tırı rıt tırı rıt rıt rıt – rat tırı rat tırı tıt tıt tıt) What is this? Has it an any meaning? It was just happened three latter and seven words.There is no meaning and understanding, that is it.However, It is well-known by all people in world and we really do not know why it is sound good and memorable.It is okay but WHY? when I listened this riff, I thought about horse race too like million of people.It gives us an emotion and we feel like that we are in contest or argue.There is effort and timing.

Overall those are just notes however, they have an order each other like seven words three-letter and it is going on that.They have connection each other but everyone does not same.This is variation and we feel emotions as excitement or satisfaction when getting all of these variation together because of human nature.In the studio, we are working on that. We try to design something and represent variation of that to feel emotion of excitement or satisfaction like a composer.

 

Studios Handbook

Hello, In this passage , studios expectations from me,my expactation from it and the tradition of the design studio are going to be mentioned by the student of architecture that has a dream about to be architect.

According to the nature of architecture, there are no truth,fault or beauty,uglyness so it is totally based on the ideas and due to that participation to studio is remarkable since plenty of ideas from other students will be in there.It increases your possiblity of inspiring and you might create your idea or ideas easily. In additionally, owing to all of these, you can expand your vision against the cases.We are an architect in the future and if  we would like to be succesful , all of us have to be open to be criticized and different ideas.In the studios, everyone will be familiar for us and they are going to be our second family since we work hard and party hard together.Due to that respection to other people ideas and acception what they are is profound things in there.I can say sincerely that I am ready to everything because I am happy to be in here.
