Zaha Hadid and the 100 Conscious Inspiration projects in 200 days

Today post presents for the second time, my New “Conscious Inspiration” project…. 100 Conscious projects in 200 days

In the following 200 days I will present 100 projects that will be published in ARCHDAILY, the world’s most visited architecture website

Followers of SOMEONE HAS BUILT IT BEFORE will judge them , from this point of view

Are the buildings published in ARCHDAILY,designed according to the principals of Conscious Inspiration

Or maybe by accident, they are the victims of the Copy Paste syndrome

Obviously, I will contribute by adding my input

What do you think

Will we find more of the “Conscious Inspiration” designs or “Copy Paste” designs

And this month crop is here for you to judge

–

The first building Is the Zhongwei Cultural Complex designd by hpa in 2009 and published in Archdaily on april 2013

–

And by accident or not ,the Stone Towers in Cairo, Egypt shown in the next two images, were designed by Zaha Hadid and published in Archdaily on May 2009

–

Note the similar design strategies
Both buildings are characterized by a similar method of building their envelopes.

Surface without openings surrounds the building on both fronts and sequentially through the roof.
Sides of the building are transparent curtain walls

–

Can you imagin that this square floor plan, belongs to the Zhongwei Cultural Complex?

Notice the striking mismatch between this floor plan representing a gathered structure ,compared to the exterior of the Zhongwei Cultural Complex appearance, characterized by diverse functions expressed by multiple blocks

–

For comparison, this is Zaha Hadid’s typical flooplan for the Stone Towers in Cairo, Egypt

Note the formal logic of Zaha Hadid’s building floorplan and the Stone Towers appearance

Kengo Kuma and Associates

SUPSI Campus

published in ARCHDAILY In 20.3.2013

On first sight ,Kengo Kuma‘s building external appearance indicates that a critical source of inspiration was a group of buildings I call them Extroverted Buildings = buildings that Invite the public to climb on them

The Extroverted Buildings trend is gaining momentum in recent years

One of the firms, that lead this trend ,is the Bjark Ingels Group – BIG
