“Conscious Inspiration” the ultimate inspiration methodology

Posted in Uncategorized with tags on February 4, 2011 by eliinbar

I invite you all to contribute in developing the attitude and tools towards the viability of the “Conscious Inspiration” Method.

The abundance of information in the Web affects us all, as I illustrate in my posts.

I Believe that designing is a process formed from three main phases:  knowledge, tools and invention.

Knowledge”:  as many said, and wrote before – Knowledge is the foundation for all designing processWe architects and designers are obliged to be informed about everything that was designed in the past and on a daily basis….

“Tools” develop tools to analyze buildings and “Understand” them,  tools that will cope with the abundance of architectural information…

(I intend to demonstrate some of my ideas in future posts)

Invention”:  with the methodology of “conscious Inspiration” we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings.  Once we develop our tools, it will lead us to high quality and creative architecture.

Extrovert inspiration

 Le Corbusiers’ quote defining what is a house ?:

A house is a machine for living in….

 
Recently I came across a number of public buildings that Invite  the  public to climb on  them ….

 Pyramid  El Castillo in Chichen Itzan  Mexico was built between 9th and 12th centuries by the pre-Colombian Maya ,and is designed to allow the public to get on it….

 

Maybe   El Castillo pyramid  was the source of inspiration for some recent designed buildings….
