MON ARCHI

For starters, I think this project designed by Le Corbusier relates to my idea. this is La Villa Savoye, one of the best pieces that Le Corbusier has designed over his long career. What intrigues me the most about this building is the pillars and how they distribute the weight and seem like such a subtle part of the design, what I mean by this is that they aren't noticeable and do not take up much space visually and also in reality. It seems to be blending with the whole building through color texture and size, creating an allusion to a floating cantilevered floor (further research about cantilevers is in another post). The villa's composition adheres to the space-time concept: the entrance hall is on the north-west side of the structure, but to reach it from the road, one must go around the house on the south side; the house is a cubic volume on pillars, with a portion of it cut out to let sunlight shine inside in the morning. The internal and external spaces can be combined t

 In this post, I will share some of the research I have done on one of the architects I think can inspire me to further develop my project. The architect is Ivan Antić, and here is one of his works that caught my eye. 25 May Sports Centre (2017) 25 May Sports Centre (2017) 1923 was the birth year of Ivan Antic in Belgrade. He spent 1945 to 1950 studying in Belgrade, where he received his diploma. In addition to working for the Ministry of Transportation while he was a student, he also worked for the "Jugoprojekt Office" from 1950 to 1953. It was there that he met well-known architects from the former Yugoslavia, Stanko Kliska and Vojin Simeonovic, and gained practical experience in his field. He began working on his own projects after 1957. He then enrolled in Belgrade's Architectural Faculty, first serving as an assistant and then as a full professor. Being both practical and aesthetically pleasing, his buildings are masterpieces of Serbian modern architecture, earning h

 This post is my project sign off, I have discussed my project idea with my tutor during the tutorial. Here is the link to my: project sign off In the next steps, I will research for my project more deeply. justify each step, and clarify document the whole process.

  for this class we were given multiple objects to choose from and relate them to our project. At first, I thought this candle support was interesting because of how the bottom part, which is actually upside down in this picture, seems diverging away from the middle. The last picture is where I got the idea to add the top part to my project as It will form the top of the cylinder. and the form of the pillars inside and outside.

In class, we tried a concept called crazy-8, which serves the purpose of brainstorming ideas. More precisely, we drew 8 ideas related to one of the three themes mentioned before. This is what I came up with. the first three pictures are related to industrialism, In my head, I imagined a glass building with the main pillars made out of steel and concrete which is what I'd expressed in the third drawing. the first drawing is a side elevation as I had imagined it being built over an unharmonious plane.  My second idea was totally different, as it follows the primitive theme(first picture from the right). It is a villa with glass windows and a unique primitive style expressed by the organic forms, from the general shape to the shape of the windows. a special feature that I added is the plants on the top of the roof, to sustain the environment, I also thought about adding solar panels so that this villa would have an independent, clean source of energy. Lastly, the bottom left drawing w

Since my project is derived from industrialism, we need to first ask what is industrial architecture? According to Hohendal, Kristin (2022), The design and construction of structures to support the requirements of the industrial sector is recognized as industrial architecture. The safe movement, distribution, and production of goods and labor are taken into account by the industrial world's architecture, which employs a variety of building designs and styles. I also found that this type of architecture is often characterized by; large windows, large open floor plans, and high ceilings, built to safety standards (Hohendal, Kristin (2022)). Since I am choosing to do a library/study space, I thought it would be a good idea to put the industrialism theme in a material context, more clearly in the materials used. I will use steel, concrete and glass for the cylinder in the center of the building since it is the part that holds everything together. I will also use steel and concret

 This Art Portfolio project will be inspired by the Industrial movement in architecture. I will make 6 2d outcomes of side views, front perspectives, and elevations, and one final 3d outcome using the 3d printing and wood workshops. This building will be a mixed-use space, from educational to entertainment, it will host a library space and a cafe/restaurant with a panoramic view. I will be showcasing the different skills that I have learnt in term 1 in addition to term 2. This is the idea that I have of its aesthetic so far.

My project is going to be inspired by one of the three designated themes, Industrialism, primitivism, or Pop art. Industrialism: simplicity is the main idea for cost purposes, it also focuses on practicality rather than aesthetics which is why many find it shallow and boring. I think it is close to brutalism, additionally, I find that there is a rare use of bright colors, usually just grey tones. The Hoover Building Primitivism: simplicity is also the main point, close to nature, natural materials such as rammed earth, good sustainability, and offers great climatisation inside in extreme weather. Pop art: I find it creative, with fewer limitations and rules, a variety of styles to choose from music to theater to acting... and a good option for advertisement, I think it is very close to street art in its chaotic way. Industrialism to me is the most appealing because I can relate the building more to the environment around it, and since this movement is in my opinion the most altering pe

 Welcome back to my blog, this is the beginning of the second term. I had a good experience in the last term in addition to the many skills I have developed, both digitally and in our media classes. I am hoping this term will be better and more enriching as I am looking forward to developing a better relationship with 3d media and familiarizing myself with more artistic styles, moreover, I would like to develop more digital skills to communicate my ideas. Over this break, I was fortunate enough to visit two 2 of my favorite Moroccan cities; Agadir my hometown, and Marrakesh both in Morocco. This picture I took was in a Market or what we call Souk in my home city Agadir, it has just been renovated, which inspired me to do more research on the Moroccan style of architecture, what I find most unique about this entrance is the grey part which we call "Shebka" which translates to a "Web". In addition, I like the Andalusian touch in the arch, however, I think this is too
