8 Famous Architects in the Modern and Contemporary Era
With big ideas and distinct philosophies, some architects have crafted spaces defining eras, cultures, and the essence of human experience. They have eternally etched their names in history. This article highlights 8 famous architects whose legacy reflects their profound contributions to architecture.
Towards Zero Waste: Computational Design in Architecture
Revolutionizing architecture, computational design fosters modularity, reusability, and circular economy principles to combat waste in construction. This article explores innovative approaches, showcasing projects and strategies that aim to redefine sustainability in the built environment. Discover how technology is reshaping architecture towards a zero-waste future.
Generative Design: Shaping a New Visual Language in Architecture
Generative design is transforming modern architecture with fractals, biomorphic patterns, and algorithmic geometry. By embracing these digitally inspired aesthetics, architects are pioneering a new design language that blurs the line between natural forms and digital algorithms, creating structures that resonate with both organic harmony and computational precision.
From Straight to Curved: 8 Parametric Interior Spaces
Have you ever imagined living in spaces defined by strict, linear parameters? Now, consider how algorithms and computational tools can transform these spaces, unlocking endless possibilities for design and optimization. In this edition, we explore how parametric interiors, shaped by both functionality and aesthetics, can create personalized, dynamic environments. Let’s dive into ten standout examples of parametric interior design that showcase the potential of this innovative approach.
Transforming ArchitectureThis workshop will explore using AI tools like Midjourney, Luma AI, and Runway Gen 3 to bring ephemeral architecture and ethereal sculptures to life. The workshop is scheduled for November 23–24, 2024. | AI-Driven Design Practice 2.0This upcoming workshop by Cas Esbach is designed to harness AI technologies effectively while remaining in control of the creative process. The workshop is scheduled for November 30 - December 1, 2024. |
The philosophy and works of Elizabeth Diller
Elizabeth Diller is an architect, a professor of architectural design at Princeton University, a member of the UN Council on Urban Initiatives, and a co-founder of Diller Scofidio + Renfro.
How Professional Services Masterfully Craft Landscape Design
When professional landscapers start a project, the first thing they do is figure out exactly what you want. They listen carefully to understand your ideas and goals. Do you want a garden full of flowers, a relaxing space with a fountain, or maybe a space for friends to gather? How big is it? What’s the shape? Is it sunny or shady? All these details help the landscape services design a space that works just right for you. Here’s a detailed look at how they do that.
Top 10 Healthcare Architecture Firms Worldwide
Healthcare architecture is a unique field of architectural practice focusing on the development of appropriate built environments designed to care for patients and enhance the experiences of staff, patients, and visitors alike. Healthcare architecture ranges from hospital designs to research facilities, each having its uniqueness to fulfill intensive healthcare services.
Does Soviet-era architecture inspire modern Apple Stores?
Modern Apple Stores has been redefining retail shops since its first store installment in 2001. As of recent, these stores have been compared with Soviet-era architecture, which theoretically sounds like a paradox. The Brutalist buildings from the 1960s and 70s in Moscow and Sochi are known for their raw concrete and imposing block-like forms—starkly contrasting Apple’s modern aesthetics. Yet, the common thread between Apple’s approach and Soviet Brutalism is practicality and functionality.
EcoFusion: Robotic ManufacturingThis workshop will focus on designing architectural components such as facade panels, columns, and structural components. The workshop is scheduled for December 14 – 15, 2024. | Advanced Grasshopper 2.0This workshop will comprehensively explore the Grasshopper environment and how this tool can be used for advanced 3d modeling procedures. The workshop is scheduled for December 7 – 8, 2024. |
