Zaha Hadid: once more involved with “conscious inspiration”

Eliinbar’s Sketches 2013  –  Zaha Hadid and MAD Architects, Inspired by Construction Methods.

 This blog I put a virtual mirror  reflecting processes of conscious and unconscious inspiration among Architects,

and you judge…

 But my challenge is not over yet,

If my “mirror” reflects the reality correctly,

Then is needed a change in architecture profession training,

And I will explain…

You probably noticed that the differences between “Conscious Inspiration” and “Copy paste” are rather vague.

And there is a consensus that,

 Copy-paste” is disastrous for the architectural profession”

We all know that the basis for all architectural design , is the unique site on which the building is built.

so how can we copy buildings?

For that I strive to develop a responsive training method for architects,

I call it the Conscious Inspiration Method.

The “Conscious Inspiration Method” is learning to be inspired consciously from existing buildings.

With the methodology of “conscious Inspiration”, we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings.  Once we develop our designing tools =“Codex Rules”, it will lead us to high quality creative architecture.

I believe that the natural development of architecture design is based on inspiration techniques… I call them Codex Rules.

In my next posts ,with the aid of the big master Le Corbusier I will show some Interesting  inspiration techniques.

Enough with the theory… lets place the mirror…

In this post I will put my virtual “mirror” in front of two architectural projects among 5 finalist for ARCHDAILY building of the year awards 2012.

The first example demonstrates inspiration from construction methods.

This building is one of the 5 finalist for ARCHDAILY building of the year awards 2012

Eli inbar Sketches 2013  –  Zaha Hadid and MAD Architects Inspired by Construction Methods

Note the dominant non-uniformity morphology of this buildings

both buildings look radically different but  share the same envelopes strategy

peripheral Curved rings

windows of the same size and shape ,surrounding the building

this is a perfect example of “Conscious Inspiration”

This is another one of the 5 finalist for ARCHDAILY building of the year awards 2012

OFIS architects

Basket Apartments

   Paris, France 2012

this building is inspired by a common design Strategy,

the rotated buildings.

Note to the dominant morphology …. the building floors are rotated to each other

More information about rotated buildings you are invited to my post

And here are some recent examples of

the Rotated buildings trend

A “short talk” about “Conscious Inspiration”  January 2013

“Inspiration” or “Copy Paste” are the most dominant phenomenon of the 21st century among architects.

Most likely , the “availability of information” enables the existence of the phenomenon.

The abundance of information in the Web affects us all…. I present it every week in my blog, accompanied by my explanation sketches.

We saw more than once, differences between “Conscious Inspiration” and “copy paste” are not so big….

With this challenge, the “Conscious inspiration Method” wants to cope.

I believe that the natural development of architecture design is based on inspiration techniques… I call them “Codex Rules”.

I strive to develop a method.

A method that will help architects and designers to cope with this phenomenon, At this point in time, I call it the “Conscious Inspiration Method”.

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

The “Conscious Inspiration Method‘,  How it Works?

First step: “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.

Second step: develop Conscious Inspiration personal tools = “Codex Rules”.

Third step: the inspiration Source. (Don’t be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings).

Step Four: realize your design idea (your invention).

Five “HOWS” of the “Conscious Inspiration Method”

1. How to filter out relevant knowledge from the Web with abundance of information?

2. How to develop your own vision?

3. How to choose the right “Inspiration Sources” that empowers your vision?

4. How to develop your own personal design tools?

5. How to use your inspiration sources as the “Planning Process Generator”, and to design high quality creative architecture?
