Anna McCorvey's radius top design shows that you dont have to have the typical doorway. I like her work because it is a work of art and not only serves a perpose and is functional, but it the building that it is placed in a new character that it did not have before.
Olafur Elliassons Serpentine Gallery Pavilion is made out of clad in timber, it has a spinning top. A wide spiralling ramp makes two complete turns, allowing visitors to go up from the Gallery lawn to the highest point for views across Kensington Gardens as well as a bird’s eye view of the chamber below. This, along with many other of his designs is about the personal experience the viewer has rather than just the dimention of the work.
Frank Lloyd Wrights Massaro House on Petra Island was built fifty years after the designers death. he designed this house on an island and it juts out into the ocean. He uses the natural rocks and enviornment to his advantage in this design as well as many other of his homes. A common theme is using the house to be able to see nature in a different way and bring it into the home. I admire his buildings because it defines the design of not changing nature to create a masterpiece, but by working the building into nature creates a whole new field of beauty.
Zaha Hadid redefines traditional fundamentals or architecture. Her work is very sculptural. I admire her work because she doesnt try to fit into context, she likes to take her work out of context and make it aesthenically pleasing. You can look at one building and see different things in it, for example in this building the side image looks like a bird, but from uptop it looks like a tulip. she has designed many other buildings such as the Glasgow Museum, the Contemperary Arts Center in Rome and The Vitra Fire Station in Germany. Her buildings heavily deal with form, abstraction, line, light, function and texture.
Shin Takamatsu is not a designer, but a Japenese architect that i wanted to bring to light. This building is the new Japanese Theatre. He has many varieties in his works, but defines each piece with solid lines. This piece is very traditional with a spin, which i enjoy a lot. the design seems simple in that the lines are crossing each other, but the dimension in which is curves is genius.
Patricia Urquiola's work is very dimensional, what i have noticed in this research is the use of geometry and colors and how they effect each other. Patricia Urquiola's work is the perfect representation because of the different colors that she uses to make her furniture pieces stand out, also the geometry and shapes that are bent to provide a snug shape to the body
Matthew Hilton's furniture designs are very sleek in their look. He has good use of lines and balancing with color and materials. If i were to go into furniture design, i think my designs would represent his shapes and lines that he uses. My favorite aspect to the majority of his pieces is the shapes that he uses, mainly he uses squares and rectangles which makes it simple and modern.
James Krenov is a world re noun woodworker. His work caught my eye because he has excellent craftsmanship and incorporates several types of wood in every piece he makes. He knows how to make furniture have a bulky side to it but also gives it an elegant, sleek look that is a classical design, yet modern.
I have to say, after all of this research i think i have found my favorite building designer, Frank O. Gehry. I didnt know that he was the one who designed the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Now that i have looks at other works of his i am in awe. He does an excellent job of making it so that straight and curved lines work in perfect harmony. This is exactly the kind of work i would like someday to be able to do myself.
Charlotte Perriand was a great furninture designer in the 1920's-40's. She developed "Bar Under the Roof" — furniture made out of chromed steel and anodized aluminum. however, this was one of many of her developments. This particular piece is that of one of the phases she went through as a designer. This phase consisted of square and rectangular forms that made up a shelf. In a lot of her designs she has the same sort of shelving, but in addition she has a horizontal piece of wood to serve as a bench. I enjoy her work because of its geometry and her choices in color, she didn't use a whole lot of color but when she did it pops.
