Here is the full story for this sketch, as was published in my blog

From Eliinbar’s sketchbook 2012 – OMA’s Central Chinese TV Building….”Influences”

Recently I found a Rem Koolhaas twitt related to the Questions I raise in this blog….
“Influence is a very unpleasant subject and I deal with it in a maybe irresponsible way, which is to really ignore it.”
Well…. Rem Koolhaas is no doubt one of the influential architects in our time….
Are the Max Reinhardts Haus project designed by Peter Eisenman and the “Arche de la Defense France” designed by Johann Otto von Spreckelsen shown in the next images ….Were OMA and REM KOOLHAAS inspiration source when they designed the Central Chinese TV Building?
For you to judge…

Let’s check if those buildings are more the type of “CONSCIOUS INSPIRATION” or the type of “COPY PASTE”….
Buildings designed according to the principles of “Conscious Inspiration“, are identified by means of three principles:
1. You can easily identify the sources of knowledge.
2. There is a clear expression of unique planning tools = ”Codex Rolls”.
3. Stands out, the architect’s Invention.
For you to judge…

The “Conscious Inspiration Method‘ , How it Works?
First step: the inspiration Source.
Second step: Developing the Conscious Inspiration tools.
Third step: Realize the design idea.
The five “HOWS” of the “Conscious Inspiration Method”
The ultimate inspiration methodology:
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 personal Design tools?
5. How to use your Inspiration Sources as the “Planning Process Generator”, and design high quality and creative architecture?

“Conscious Inspiration” is practicing and acquiring tools to improve observation and differentiation of details.
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 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…
(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.
