    ao ver uma comparação destas sinto-me obrigado a pedir que não repitam absurdos deste calibre. Melhor fora fotografar uma bela cara e um belo rabo de pessoas muito diferentes e marcar círculos comparativos sobre as 2 nádegas e as 2 bochechas e dizer que as nádegas são a cópia das bochechas.

    1. Pedro Lourenço Hi
      In my blog, I juxtapose examples of projects without the intention to insinuate that one architect copied from another, but rather to spur a dialog among architects.
      The goal is to encourage an architectural planning process that I like to call Conscious Inspiration.
      I am obviously not the first to consider this approach:
      Le Corbusier mentions in one of his books that his sources of inspiration for the Cathedral of Ron Champ was Villa Adriana at Tivoli. The French architect Emile Aillaud describes in his writings that his source of inspiration for 3 office buildings in LA Defense (near Paris) was the Piazza Dei Miracoli with the Tower of Pisa. Louis Kahan eventually got his inspiration to design the Hurva Synagogue from the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, and Tadao Ando traveled all over Europe to get inspired by existing buildings as a way to train him self to become an architect..
      So far, I have only scratched the surface of this concept, and I am in the beginning of this journey. I believe the journey itself may lead us architects to a more rigorous architectural planning.

  2. The report has confirmed useful to me personally. It’s really informative
    and you are obviously quite knowledgeable in this region.
    You have got popped my own face for you to various thoughts
    about this specific topic with interesting and solid
    content material.

  3. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so
    much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
    I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home
    a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.
    An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

    1. I completely agree with you
      In fact I mostly holds up a mirror and look at it
      It turns out that there is a dominant phenomenon ….
      Tomorrow’s architecture Builds on the architecture of the day
      The question is how to do it right..
      Unfortunately I detect too many cases of “copy-paste”
      So I strives to develope the “Conscious Inspiration Method”-How to get inspired consciously existing buildings
      Would love more comments …. thanks again

    such as you who are not afraid to mention how they believe.

  10. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but
    I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
