From time to time I hold a mirror and try to reflect the contemporary architectural reality, for you to judge,
I must confess…. it makes it more interesting when it comes to famous architects….
Here is another interesting example of “Conscious inspiration“
-
Zaha Hadid is certainly one of the most influential architects working today.
Does Zaha Hadid implement intuitively the “Conscious Inspiration Method” to design unique structures?

Milan Italy Competition won: 2006

From Grimshaw’s architects cite about Garibaldi Exhibition Building:
This functional core is then loosely wrapped, as though draped with fabric, in a metal skin that follows the shape of the site, creating something of an urban sculpture. At piazza level, the building is transparent.

“Conscious Inspiration” the ultimate inspiration methodology
“Knowledge”: as many said, and wrote before – Knowledge is the foundation for all designing process. We 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…
“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
