progressively i'm becoming more and more interested in the geometry and triangular forms used in design and more so in architecture. although now most definitely a worn out architectural cliche, i'm still fascinated by such design when used tastefully.
i started thinking... what is it about these which forms excite me in the way they do?...after i few moments of thought, i realised the answer was actually quite simple.
bear with me while i belt this one out, oh and excuse my architectural naivety;
such architecture occurs all around us naturally, we as architects merely exploit mother nature for her creativity. natural beauty, natural forms, mother natures design- her billions of years of experience, simplified and repackaged as our own. take a moment to appreciate the natural geometry present in the rocks and crystals below. does mother nature not hold the key to amazing design?
having always had a personal interest in the way any design (not necessarily architecture) interacts with its organic surroundings, i believe great architecture comes with a strong connection to our natural environment.
working not to out do, but merely keep up with mother natures design. thats what i want to do. - mother nature. the worlds greatest architect.
i just wanted to add a couple of points without destroying the contention of my original post... (and to tie this post in with what i'm currently learning about at uni)
ReplyDeletefirstly i'd just like to stress how influential natures design is.. i didn't even mention a single 'structure' in my post. think of caves, crevices and other natural and organic shelters and beings.. next i'd just like to make a connection between what i was talking about and the ancient egyptian architecture of the great pyramids. although there was an obviously strong symbolism in the design, we can't understate the relationship between the design and natural geometry.
