Skidmore, Owings and Merrill & Yakov Chernikhov – Is This “Conscious Inspiration”? 2

In My previous posts I introduced El Lissitzky and Yakov Chernikhov, two constructivist architects that published in their books Inspiring images of Modern and Fantasies Architecture (1923-1933)

Apparently they are the source of inspiration for other talented architects.

“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.
