Steven Holl ,Toyo Ito, Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando “Sponge Concept “

–

This post is entirely “Conscious Inspiration“

–

Sometimes it’s interesting to go back to old posts ,and see what happened since

This time I will tell the story of posts from 2010-2012

–

It turns out that many of the most esteemed architects, use the method of

“Conscious Inspiration“

And their projects are no less creative or unique than their sources of inspiration … for you to judge.

–

Enough for introductions, let’s tell the story

In 2012 I uploaded the following post, following two

previous posts from 2010

The posts present a new architectural trend, led by architect Steven Holl

–

The next sketch was made by Steven Holl in 2002 , for a building designed in Nanjing , China .

I called this trend, the “Sponge-concept“

What is the “Sponge Concept”?

Buildings that are basically perforated boxes, characterized by morphology of a sponge

Eliinbar sketches 2010 the “sponge Concept”

Six years later, I wonder what’s going on:

Poly Grand Theater Shanghai_Tadao Ando_02

Tadao Ando Poly Grand Theater Shanghai completion date: august 2014

This building is basically a perforated box, characterized by morphology of a sponge

–

–

Additional details and images on Toyo Ito’s TAICHUNG METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE in the divisare site

Now we understand why Toyo Ito ,Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando are participating in the festival

They apply the method of “Conscious Inspiration“

For you to judge.

Interview with Franz West, Commenting on whether his sculptures are adapted to the environment:

Do you consider them autonomous? They don’t seem burdened by site-specificity.
They are absolutely autonomous.

They are always a little awkward. They don’t fit easily.
It’s the autonomy.

And I thought to myself that only Zaha Hadid and MAD Architects, were inspired by E’mile Aillaud cloud towers…. Apparently not, it happens again here “in my backyard”

This post is number four

In a series of posts, I call “In my backyard“

In which I present for your review, buildings that I found “in my backyard” and photographed them for you.

All buildings are within 60 km from home

The choice to photograph these buildings was not random

They reminded me of forgotten posts

For you to judge

In the 1970s

A French architect named E’mile Aillaud ,planned residential towers not far from Paris. He called them “Cloud Towers“.

Inspiration from existing buildings = Conscious Inspiration….”If You’re Gonna Do It, Do It Right”

Todays post presents for the eighth time, my “Conscious Inspiration” project…. 100 Conscious projects in 200 days

100projects in 200 days that we can easily identify their Inspiration sources

These projects are published in ARCHDAILY ,the world’s most visited architecture website

–

The inspiration sources for the 100 projects ,are not nature in full bloom ,or wonderful music, not exciting prose

Their inspiration sources are ,existing buildings

Existing buildings , that we are exposed to in countless websites, design brochures and books ,everybody is talking about this phenomenon these days , it is called The availability of information

–

This is Steven Holl’s Sliced Porosity Block project In Chengdu, Sichuan ,China 2007-2012

Steven Holl Architect

Sliced Porosity Block 2012

Chengdu, Sichuan China

Notice Steven Holl’s scale strategy

The irregular shape of the towers, the openings and the changes in scale, add a sense of human proportions and individuality to the huge mass of the buildings

The dominant regular grid of the façade,accentuated by dominant expression of the diagonal reinforcement beams , reinforce the sense of human scale

You are invited to visit my post

Zaha Hadid demonstrates us, how “Conscious Inspiration” leads us to

significant architecture

And discover the historical inspiration sources for Steven Holl’s façade strategy

From Eliinbar Sketchbook 2013 – Zaha Hadid helps us understand how “Conscious Inspiration” leads us to significant architecture

Now let’s examine QLAB architects design strategy, as reflected in the NTFSH Gymnasium Published in Archdaily 26 MAY 2013 ,and shown in the next image

QLAB architects

NTFSH Gymnasium , project year 2013 Tainan, Taiwan

Published in Archdaily 26 MAY 2013

QLAB’s NTFSH Gymnasium is characterized by a basic morphological box with A dominant regular grid on the façade, accentuated by diagonal reinforcement beams

Does the NTFSH Gymnasium represents the principles of Conscious Inspiration

My personal opinion…. not enough

From Eliinbar Sketchbook 2013 “If You’re Gonna Do It, Do It Right

While Steven Hall’s “Sliced Porosity Block” is characterized by openings and changes in scale, that add a sense of human proportions and individuality , QLAB’s NTFSH Gymnasium ,is characterized by a basic morphological box

The effort expended on the NTFSH Gymnasium’s façades, is relevant?

Steven Holl is a well-known fan of Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier‘s La Tourette , is probably the “Inspiration building” for Steven Holl‘s American Library expansion from 1984

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

100projects in 200 days, that we can easily identify their inspiration sources

These projects are published in ARCHDAILY ,the world’s most visited architecture website

The inspiration sources for the 100 projects ,are not nature in full bloom ,or wonderful music,nor exciting prose

Their inspiration sources are existing buildings

You might remember the post-modernism trend in the 80s

Sources of inspiration for this style/trend were classical buildings, Nothing else

? What does it indicates about us

It indicates that there is an expanding phenomenon and we can not ignore it

Architects are inspired by existing buildings as a method

? So what’s the problem

The problem is that some of us are experiencing difficulty getting inspired from existing buildings

Sometimes the result of this process, looks more like “Copy-paste” rather than conscious inspiration

? So how to get inspired consciously from existing buildings

? 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

–

Now that we are familiar with the four steps of the Conscious Inspiration Method, let’s learn how to implement this method in daily life

–

But first we must define the challenges facing us

Here are the five “HOWS” of the Conscious Inspiration Method

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

? B. How to develop your own vision

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

? D. How to develop your own personal design tools

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

In conclusion

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

With the methodology of “conscious Inspiration”, we don’t need to be intimidated to get inspired from relevant buildings

Get inspired consciously from existing buildings, and you will experience a unique design process that will serve your creative desires

Zaha Hadid helps us raise a critical issue that should concern us all …. how to get inspired from existing buildings consciously

From Eliinbar’s Sketchbook 2013 -Zaha Hadid and the “Copy Paste” Syndrom

–

Today’s post gets a boost from two recent articles, published in ARCHDAILY

The articles explor the disturbing phenomenon of “copy-paste” in architecture

You already know my opinion on this subject

The main question is not whether to copy existing buildings

This has been a fact, which is part of our professional life

You are invited to examine hundreds of examples that reinforce this claim in my blog

Our challenge today, as I would put it

is how to get inspired consciously from existing buildings

Do not be ashame to be inspired by existing buildings, as long as you do it consciously

Certainly, this is the natural process, which architecture is going towards

–

For the fourth time, Since I started the“Conscious Inspiration” project = 100 Conscious projects in 200 days , Here is another relevant example published in ARCHDAILY in 9 april 2013

–

This is Zaha Hadid‘s Wangjing SOHO from 2011

Zaha Hadid Architect

Wangjing SOHO China

published 2011

–

“And the next image is Zaha Hadid‘s Wangjing Soho “twin

This building is under construction, It is built in Chongqing , china

–

?Do you realy think this post will stop with the Chongqing project

Obviously it will not finish there, because “Copy Paste” is has been a fact, which is part of our professional life

We have just seen an example from “real life“, Zaha Hadid‘s Wangjing SOHO

But the phenomenon is much broader and complex

This is our reality, and we can not ignore it

So let’s not fight it. or forbid or even despise this phenomenon

Our duty is to develop methods and ways to “copy” properly

Or as I put it , to be inspired consciously

To avoid any misunderstanding , I am not talking about waking in the morning with a some kind of ready-made inspiration

To be inspired consciously is a structured process we can practice it and perfect it

I feel ready to share with you my thoughts ,how to apply it in our professional life

….To be continued

–

let’s get back to the regular course of this post

what do you think was Zaha Hadid‘s inspiration source when she designed the Wangjing SOHO

Well I can suggest this projects….for you to judge

but built with repetitive unique peripheral windows

You can identify the same characteristics at Zaha Hadid’s Galaxy Soho

shown in the following sketch

Here are examples that strengthen my argument, that “copy-paste” is a common phenomenon these days

this is a common phenomenon

Zaha Hadid and the 100 Conscious Inspiration projects in 200 days

Posted in buildings, public buildings with tags “Conscious Inspiration” project, Zaha Hadid on April 14, 2013 by eliinbar

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

Le Corbusier, Almost 50 years after his death, remains an important source of inspiration for leading architects today.

Posted in buildings, public buildings with tags CONSCIOUS INSPIRATION PAGE, Eliinbar's sketchbook 2013, Google trends, inspiration, Inspiration sketch Gallery, Inspiration Sketch Gallery by Eli Inbar, inspiration Source, ISG, Le Corbusier, source of inspiration, STUDIO PAPERBACK, Zaha Hadid on April 7, 2013 by eliinbar

From Eliinbar’s Sketchbook 2013 – Le Corbusier Vis Zaha Hadid…. and “Google Trends” is always right

–

On one of my visits to Europe, I purchased a booklet documenting systematically, all of Le Corbusier’s projects

The booklet is written in German and translated into French

Published by STUDIO PAPERBACK in 1972, The booklet was edited by Willy Boesiger von Herausgegeben

In the back of the booklet is told, that Le Corbusier expressed his desire in 1960 that his works will be published in a booklet at popular prices, so everyone can purchase it

–

It is no secret that I am a fan of Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier is undoubtedly the most influential architect (inspiration source) over the past century

Almost 50 years after his death, he remains an important source of inspiration for leading architects today

When comparing the number of online searches of Le Corbusier , to leading architects today, Le Corbusier leads by far

–

In this post I’ll demonstrate Le Corbusier‘s important role ,as a main source of inspiration, for generations of architect

Here is a large number of posts I posted over the years, that show it

for you to judge

Enjoy

–

Le Corbusier…. Do we need more evidence that he is the most significant source of inspiration for architects, in the last century
