Before the First Class
Despite having graduated from the Diploma of Green
Building and Sustainability, I found myself deeply enthralled in Architecture.
The composition and perspective of my architecture concept predominantly
derives from me positioning myself in close proximity to nature and to use what
is available on-site. The model shown in the image above is displaying a
museum/gallery spaces that I constructed. The design concept derives from my
personal fascination of classic and contemporary architecture. The excessive use
of structural trusses, skylight, and contemporary shapes gives the building an
elegant and sophisticated look on the interior. The geometrical design of these
trusses and ceiling opening is used to please the eye's want for symmetry and
order, especially in open, and hectic environments.
The conceptualization of Sagrada Familia architecture was based on the
traditions of Gothic and Byzantine cathedrals with the intention to express Christian
belief by adopting state of the art architecture as well as to convey the message of
the Evangelist. Fall 2016, the Sagrada Familia basilica declared that the building finally entered its
final stage of construction after 134 years of construction. After the
completion of six new towers, the Tower of Jesus Christ will measure over 172
meters and make the Sagrada Familia the tallest religious building in Europe.
The picture above shows a bird’s eye view of a salt
ponds located San Francisco. The picturesque view of such beauty always leaves
me in awe of what nature could give us. These bright pond pockets of red and
green are caused by the organism or micro-algae living within the. The distinctive
colours of the pond is a reaction of these micro-organism in accordance to
their salt level tolerance located in each pond. The evaporation ponds cover an
array of hues from bright green, where low salinity encourages green algae to thrive,
to a deep coral pink or red hue that is caused by the algae Dunaliella,
producing a red pigment in response to high salt content. A high number of tiny
brine shrimp cast an orange sheen to the ponds that are considered
mid-salinity. Weather can affect the colours as well, but their ever-changing
pigments always stand out from the sky, and have served as a visual marker for
astronauts.
