He's fully aware that architecture is construction, and not some sort of romantic idea in the mind of a tormented genius architect. He's very down to earth, and it reflects in his designs, which relate very well to the human scale and to public space (his and Rogers' design for the Pompidou Center was the only one in the competition who proposed building a square). Formally they are great, although there often are some unresolved questions (some parts of the building feel weird in a sense, although that happens very rarely and probably is only noticed by a trained eye). The second one is Richard Meier, simply because he truly can achieve extremely clean composition, the parts relate extremely well, both at a big and at a small scale. The recent buildings are quite questionable though, mostly because someone else is designing them and trying to imitate Meier. | Bjarke Ingels - Snohetta - MVRDV | 1 | 192,218 | 1,000 | ||

yvuyfs | architecture_train | 0.88 | Why do tall Art Deco buildings look so different from short Art Deco buildings? Here's a question, pardon my ignorance - when I search for classic examples of tall Art Deco buildings, the thing that jumps out at me are the strong vertical lines, stepped facades and ornamentation: Some examples of tall Art Deco buildings. Yet when I look through search results for shorter (3-storey) examples of Art Deco buildings, they tend to have a simple, flat facade accented with strong horizontal lines and geometric shapes, like this: a few shorter Art Deco buildings Is there a reason why taller and shorter Art Deco buildings look so different? Are there shorter buildings with stepped facades, or taller buildings that have a plain facade and geometric shapes/lines? | iwgafn5 | iwgefdq | 1,668,516,225 | 1,668,518,503 | 6 | 17 | I think a lot of it stems from there just being different forms of Art Deco. It’s base form was inspired by the architecture of Egypt and Mesopotamia so most of those buildings have a grandiose ziggurat feel to them. Their materials were much more warm as well as some of their other choices. At the same time streamlining became popular and I’m pretty sure is a sub style of Art Deco. It’s probably not the correct answer but the buildings like in Miami (the one you showed for a shorter building) was more inspired by the streamlined movement rather than the original form of Art Deco. | A big part of the reason is the New York City 1916 zoning resolution, which had a major influence on the design of skyscrapers during the art deco era (even outside New York). It required skyscrapers to step back from the street at a certain angle as they got taller, so that as much light as possible would reach the street. As a result architects came up with design solutions that looked like ziggurats. As well, as someone else already noted, art deco was a fairly large movement, and the pictures of the shorter buildings are mostly in the "streamline modern" offshoot of art deco. This wouldn't really be a good fit for skyscrapers because of their verticality, but cars, trains and even home appliances were designed with streamlining when art deco was popular. I'm from Toronto, and it doesn't have as much art deco as American cities but an example here of a short and very horizontal building I can think of that has the more vertical form of art deco is the RC Harris Water Treatment Plant | 0 | 2,278 | 2.833333 | ||

That building is massive! Definitely worth a trip to the observation deck if you’re in town. | The Miami Beach buildings you show are from the late 30s and 40s and should really be referred to as Art Moderne or Streamline Moderne not Art Deco. Art Deco is a catch all term that was invented thirty years later in the late 1960s but is really two different movements. You have the early stuff which is now referred to by people like Robert AM Stern as Modern Classicism. Which is actually a better description because it is essentially late traditional but with massing inspired by the 1916 zoning ordinance in New York and Hugh Ferriss' famous pencil drawings depicting how the massing would work. Modern Classicism still maintains ornament and monumentalism but the motifs changed to lightning bolts and ziggurats and Egyptian and Mayan motifs as there was an obsession with that at the time. It is heavily inspired by the 1925 Paris Exhibition of Decorative Arts from which the term Art Deco is derived. When the depression set in the style became much more severe and stripped down. Architects like Paul Cret were known for this more minimalist style which in the US came to be known as WPA Moderne or WPA Deco named for the myriad of Works Progress projects done during the Roosevelt Administration like Hoover Dam, which is a characteristic example. The stripped down style was also prominent in the fascist countries in Europe at the time and is sometimes referred to as Fascist architecture. Modern examples would be The Smith Center by David M Schwarz in Las Vegas which is an homage to Hoover Dam, and the various Modern Classical buildings recently built by Bob Stern like 220 Central Park South which is kind of a contemporary reimagining of a early 1930s apartment house but done for today. Art Moderne or Streamline Moderne in many respects shouldn't really be classified with Art Deco. It's really a different philosophy altogether. It's sort of a moment between the ascension of international style modernism and modern Classicism, but leans much more modernist. Erich Mendelssohn is often most associated with this style but it tends to fall in line with the industrial design trends of the 1940s. Sweeping lines, implied speed and aerodynamics, horizontal windows (Corbusier), rounded corners, stucco instead of heavy limestone like you saw 15 years prior (partially due to WWII, partially a holdover from the austerity of the Depression, partially a different approach to materiality like the use of chrome). The buildings in Miami Beach belong almost squarely in the Art Moderne category. There's some true Art Deco stuff there but it's like 80/20 Art Moderne especially on South Beach and that language heavily influenced the Miami Modernism that came afterward and still persists. There are a number of prominent Art Moderne buildings and you can clearly see how, for example, the McGraw Hill Building in New York City is sort of caught between two moments in time. It's sort of halfway between 1920s Deco and 1950s International Style. The Ambassador Hotel at Tokyo Disneyland, also by Bob Stern is a much more on the nose representation of Streamline Moderne. Note the sweeping curves and the feeling of movement that was present even in Mendelssohn's sketches from the 1930s. In a lot of respects the Streamline style sort of gave way to the space age aesthetic and Google which came in the late 50s. Art Moderne is still a popular retro style in product and industrial design. The iPhone is a great example of Art Moderne aesthetics, with it's chrome and radiused corners. | 0 | 37,749 | 1.5 | ||

98m4dl | architecture_train | 0.87 | [ask] People who have been involved in housing developments, Why are most residential developments overtly traditional, with pitched rooves and small rectangular windows? It seems like the 1950s went through a time when modernist-inspired corner windows etc. were in style, but now most housing developments I see are of a very bland yet traditional nature. Can anyone with backgrounds in development explain the demand for these sorts of things? | e4hpnj0 | e4ijbfg | 1,534,726,110 | 1,534,770,492 | 4 | 6 | Speed. Once the plans are drawn you can sub out the rafters and have them delivered. More houses in less time = more money. Also most people just want an Archtectural feature or 2 and that's it. Put 2 different materials on the outside. Slap shingles on top, give em a 3 year labor warranty tell em the roof has 25 yr shingles. Then go make more money on the next lot. It's called a development and not Architecture for a reason. | Market demand primarily. Developers will build in the style their customers want to buy, and engineer their construction costs to fit any style. I.e. the style does not drive the cost - material selections, size, layout etc., are developed to fit within a prescribed cost. here is a article that examines post-Katrina New Orleans, which finds for every ‘contemporary’ house built, there were 14 ‘traditional’ houses built. It’s also important to note, at least in the US, few houses are designed by licensed architects. There was an opinion piece by Due Dickinson about this a while back. | 0 | 44,382 | 1.5 | ||

A certain part of architecture is fulfilling, like enjoying a hobby. It's hard to say where "work" and enjoyable designing is divided. This means your hours are disportionatal to what actually was "work". It ends up being a vague space that is very hard to describe, but is easy to feel. Without that "feel", the job is lifeless and cruel. | K. The customer said a certain tile had to be used, sole sourced, no approved alternates.

b5rk4y | architecture_train | 0.95 | [Ask] What are some currently living architects influenced by nature? I’ve been quite fascinated by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, Bofill’s La Fabrica as well as several of Jensen & Skodvin’s works recently. What fascinates me is their way of working in harmony with nature and surroundings. I want to make a sort of reference archive where I can look for inspiration and information during my studies. I’ve included quite a few already, but noticed that most of them are dead or really old and not working anymore. Therefore I’m wondering if you guys know of any that fit the description and should be included? I’m sure there are many living natureloving architects out there! | ejfie0u | ejfu3dn | 1,553,620,448 | 1,553,627,918 | 2 | 6 | Check out Toyo It, he uses a lot of organic language in his buildings. | Dead, But check out Paolo Soleri and his ideas about Arcology | 0 | 7,470 | 3 | ||
