The book contributes to the current discussion of arts-based research taking the example of the interdisciplinary research project BiornaMetics – architecture defined By natural Patterns. Biornametics is an emerging contemporary design practice that explores a new methodology to interconnect scientific evidence with creative design in the field of architecture. The word biornametics is generated from “ornament”, referring to the famous austrian architect adolf loos, and “biomimetics”. it is concerned with the detection of the principles behind processes of emerging and dissolving patterns in animate and inanimate nature. reflections on the architectural direction of Biornametics, issues of arts and science collaboration, and the application of the methodology show a diverse world of thoughts and approaches to the theme.

  • Introduction Association (AA) School Where She Was Awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977
    Studio London Zaha Hadid, founder of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker 10 Bowling Green Lane Architecture Prize (considered to be the Nobel Prize of architecture) in 2004 and London EC1R 0BQ is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of T +44 20 7253 5147 her dynamic and pioneering projects builds on over thirty years of exploration F +44 20 7251 8322 and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. [email protected] www.zaha-hadid.com Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Hadid studied mathematics at the American University of Beirut before moving to London in 1972 to attend the Architectural Introduction Association (AA) School where she was awarded the Diploma Prize in 1977. She founded Zaha Hadid Architects in 1979 and completed her first building, the Vitra Fire Station, Germany in 1993. Hadid taught at the AA School until 1987 and has since held numerous chairs and guest professorships at universities around the world. She is currently a professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and visiting professor of Architectural Design at Yale University. Working with senior office partner, Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest lies in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as her practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems, leading to innovation with new technologies. The MAXXI: National Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, Italy and the London Aquatics Centre for the 2012 Olympic Games are excellent manifestos of Hadid’s quest for complex, fluid space. Previous seminal buildings such as the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati and the Guangzhou Opera House in China have also been hailed as architecture that transforms our ideas of the future with new spatial concepts and dynamic, visionary forms.

  • OLMSTED TRACT; Torrance, California 2011 – 2013 SURVEY of HISTORIC RESOURCES
    OLMSTED TRACT; Torrance, California 2011 – 2013 SURVEY OF HISTORIC RESOURCES II. HISTORIC CONTEXT STATEMENT A. Torrance and Garden City Movement: The plan for the original City of Torrance, known as the Olmsted Tract, owes its origins to a movement that begin in England in the late 19th Century. Sir Ebenezer Howard published his manifesto “Garden Cities of To-morrow" in 1898 where he describes a utopian city in which man lives harmoniously together with the rest of nature. The London suburbs of Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City were the first built examples of garden city planning and became a model for urban planners in America. In 1899 Ebenezer founded the Garden City Association to promote his idea for the Garden City ‘in which all the advantages of the most energetic town life would be secured in perfect combination with all the beauty and delight of the country.” His notions about the integration of nature with town planning had profound influence on the design of cities and the modern suburb in the 20th Century. Examples of Garden City Plans in America include: Forest Hills Gardens, New York (by Fredrick Law Olmsted Jr.); Radburn, New Jersey; Shaker Heights, Ohio; Baldwin Hills Village, in Los Angeles, California and Greenbelt, Maryland. Fredrick Law Olmsted is considered to be the father of the landscape architecture profession in America. He had two sons that inherited his legacy and firm. They practiced as the Olmsted Brothers of Brookline Massachusetts. Fredrick Law Olmsted Junior was a founding member of The National Planning Institute of America and was its President from 1910 to 1919.

  • Faith Reforming
    Reforming Faith by Design Frank Furness’ Architecture and Spiritual Pluralism among Philadelphia’s Jews and Unitarians Matthew F. Singer Philadelphia never saw anything like it. The strange structure took shape between 1868 and 1871 on the southeast corner of North Broad and Mount Vernon streets, in the middle of a developing residential neighborhood for a newly rising upper middle class. With it came a rather alien addition to the city’s skyline: a boldly striped onion dome capping an octagonal Moorish-style minaret that flared outward as it rose skyward. Moorish horseshoe arches crowned three front entrances. The massive central At North Broad and Mount Vernon streets, Rodeph Shalom’s first purpose-built temple—de- doorway was topped with a steep gable signed by Frank Furness—announced the growing presence and aspirations of the newly developed neighborhood’s prospering German Jewish community. beneath a Gothic rose window that, in HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF PENNSYLVANIA turn, sat within another Moorish horse- shoe.

  • Architectural Styles/Types
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

Chachula Bachelor of Architectural Engineering The Pennsylvania State University Committee Chair: Jay Chatterjee Committee Second Chair: Elizabeth Riorden Abstract Being mobile means having the ability to easily access goods, services, information and people from other physi- cal locations. Traditionally this meant traveling from place to place or building to building. With the computer and the internet, however, it is possible to do these things all from one single location regardless of where we are on Earth. This is Digital Mobility. Today with the internet this takes place through a screen using a mouse and keyboard as opposed to through experiencing a variety of buildings and spaces. Architecture for the digital lifestyle will merge our digital experiences with physical experiences by providing a reconfigurable environment that allows us to truly inhabit the internet. Instead of experiencing the internet through the screen it is experienced through the building and the space we inhabit. In this way there is access to many dif- ferent places and environments from one single location.

  • 1 – Advanced Studio VI – Something of Value – Beijing, China – Solomonoff – Spring 2019
    Advanced Design Studio VI Something of Value Arguments for Architecture as Value Proposition Beijing, China Spring 2019 Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation Columbia University Galia Solomonoff, critic Galia Solomonoff, AIA [email protected], www.solomonoff.com Kinne Trip to Beijing, China Trip Dates 4 or 5 nights in March 12 to 22, exact dates TBD Studio Parameters: Client: Our studio will design for an assumed “client,” who is a wealthy graduate from GSAPP with a combined degree in Architecture, Real Estate, and Critical Studies. Upon returning to his native Beijing, our “client” is put in charge of a company comparable to SOHO of China, headquartered in Beijing. Project: Our studio project is to design a building(s) as a “gift” to the city of Beijing, which would allow the client’s company development rights somewhere else. Program: The company owns millions of square feet of real estate around the world, the majority of which is commercial office space. With commercial office space currently shifting towards sharing types (wework, knotel, incubators, navy yard) the client wishes to experiment with new hybrids that combine work, art, commerce and education. The exact program is left undefined. Yet the mission is states: design something of value…What does it mean to design something of value? Value to whom? Zaha Hadid Architects, Galaxy Soho Beijing, 2015 Site: The exact site is to be determined. It must be in the proximity of Zaha Hadid’s Galaxy and Kengo Kuma’s Santilun Soho, in the Sanlitun area of Beijing. 1 – Advanced Studio VI – Something of Value – Beijing, China – Solomonoff – Spring 2019 Kengo Kuma Architects, Sanlitun Soho, Beijing, 2016 Method The studio shall be divided into 3 segments; • Research (01 weeks – Jan 24 to Jan 30) • Argument (01 weeks – Jan 31 to Feb 4) • Design (12 weeks – Feb 5 to May 1) Research: Drawing from an array of contemporary and historical examples, our research concentration will be to examine the idea of value in Architecture and the contexts of Art and Real Estate.

  • HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background in 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center Opened to the Public in Baku, the Capital of Azerbaijan
    HEYDER ALIYEV CENTRE, Azerbaijan Zaha Hadid Architects Background In 2013, the Heydar Aliyev Center opened to the public in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. The cultural center, designed by Zaha Hadid, has become the primary building for the nation's cultural programs, aspiring instead to express the sensibilities of Azeri culture and the optimism of a nation that looks to the future.

The Heydar Aliyev Center Since 1991, Azerbaijan has been working on modernizing and developing Baku’s infrastructure and architecture in order to depart from its legacy of normative Soviet Modernism. The center is named for Heydar Aliyev, the leader of Soviet-era Azerbaijan from 1969 to 1982, and President of Azerbaijan from October 1993 to October 2003. The project is located in the center of the city. And it played an extremely important role in the development of the city. It breaks from the rigid and often monumental Soviet architecture that is so prevalent in Baku. More importantly, it is a symbol of democratic philosophy thought. Under the influence of the new Azerbaijan party and the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan leader’s political and economic reform, the center was also designed to show the potential of the country’s future cultural development, to encourage people to study the history, language, culture, national creed and spiritual values of their own country.
