MUSEUM OF EMOTIONS- Edition #4 Competition entry Title- The journey Description- The two spaces of the museum have the same maze layout but a contrasting impact on the emotions of the user. In the lower space the user can clearly see the goal through the transparent glass but still feel stuck, confused and frustrated. Whereas in the upper space, the user is not clear about the goal but still has a sensory experience walking amid the textures, colours, fragrance and the life around. The user is actually enjoying the journey....as it is said IT'S ALL ABOUT THE JOURNEY..... #museum #museumofemotions #sensoryarchitecture #sensoryexperience #landscapearchitecture #landscapedesign #spacedesign #competition #architecture #architecturecompetition #maze #emotions #journey

My review of the Venice Architecture Biennale Honestly, this was more about the Arsenale than about the Giardini because Giardini had a lot more architectural projects. And here I am specifically talking about the main exhibition and not the country pavilions. I felt that overall, it lacked architecture. There were some great ideas and issues raised but again do they belong in an architectural Biennale. And I recently read a review of the Venice Architecture Biennale by Rowan Moore. He also wrote it perfectly, “ In places, this biennale feels thin and under-resourced, which probably reflects the fact that previous iterations have had more projects by big practices, which tend to bring along additional funding. If you hoped for a burst of energy and celebration, you don’t quite get it. It suffers, as have previous biennales, from exhibits that are wilfully hard to understand, unilluminated by wordy and opaque captions – in a kind of language that architectural academe for some reason loves. In shows this big, you shouldn’t have to work so much to get to the meaning of the displays.” Again this was not about specific exhibits, it was about the exhibition overall. I spoke with a lot of people about this and most of them had the same thought. Honestly, I found some amazing work there, but if you weren’t able to go last year, you did not miss much. And I know my visuals showed majoritarian architectural work, but that's because I only recorded that. #venice #architecture #design #biennale #exhibition

💥The Eiffel Tower is a structure known almost all over the world. But does the public know the difficulties the architect faced?💥 Gustave Eiffel made a significant contribution to the creation of the Eiffel Tower, although the original project of the tower was developed by his employee Maurice Koechlin. Eiffel made the final changes to the project, focusing on combining the engineering scheme with decorative elements, which allowed the project to meet the aesthetic requirements of the World Fair in Paris. Architect Stephen Sauvestre also participated in the decorative design of the tower, working on decorating the tower, including adding arches and glazed halls. The 324-meter-tall tower initially faced much criticism from the public and artists who considered it unattractive. 📌Public disapproval: Many Parisians and artists expressed dissatisfaction with the project, considering the tower ugly. 📌Technical challenges: Building the tallest structure of the time required innovative engineering solutions, especially in the use of wrought iron and ensuring the stability of the structure. 📌Financial difficulties: Most of the project was funded by Gustave Eiffel himself, as securing sufficient funding was a challenging task. Despite the initial negative attitude of the Parisian creative intelligentsia, who feared that the tower would disrupt the historical appearance of the city, today it has become an integral part of the Paris skyline and a symbol of France.

#contemporaryarchitects #contemporaryart #madridespaña #madridfashionweek #madridlife #buildings #alletto #architecture #spanish #futurecity #travelling #travelgram Contemporary Architecture: Skyscraper in Madrid Spain modern buildings - Giuseppe Alletto art and travel The temporal and geographical extent of the Spanish peninsula and its associated history has caused its architecture to enjoy a multitude of influences and manifestations. Throughout the territory there are traces of architectural forms comparable to other examples of Mediterranean cultures and similar to those of Northern Europe, prior to those documented by Roman sources. But the real development came with the arrival of this culture, which left behind some of its most impressive monuments in Hispania. The subsequent Muslim invasion that began in 711 AD caused a radical change in the following eight centuries and led to great advances in culture, including architecture. All this exchange and cultural coexistence has resulted in a series of artistic and architectural expressions that have put Spain on the design map. In it, jewels of classical architecture coexist, such as La Alhambra de Granada; the Aqueduct of Segovia; The Giralda of Seville or the Cathedral of Santiago along with exponents of the most modern styles and of which we want to speak to you in this month’s blog. The twentieth century brought modernism, which Barcelona had as a reference center, so we will start the virtual tour here. The most famous architect in this scene was Antoni Gaudí, who claimed his own style and forms mixing traditional currents with more modern ones. The Sagrada Familia (Barcelona) Its construction began in 1882 with a marked neo-Gothic style. A year later the project was delegated to Gaudí, who rethinked its design completely. Gaudí designed an exceptional and innovative temple that was going to be made up of 18 towers, although finally he only had time to create one of them before his death. The architect died in 1926 leaving the project that occupied the last years of his life unfinished but, thanks to the plans that are preserved, his dream becomes reality bit by bit thanks to the work of other artists and the money obtained from the donations and visits. Although not yet finished, the Sagrada Familia is a striking temple full of religious symbolism. The date of its complete completion is still far away, but it has become a must-see icon for the city.

After debuting at the 2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum presents its Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence exhibition in London from March 2nd to September 22nd, 2024. The showcase delves into Tropical Modernism, a distinct British contribution to International Modernism, stemming from colonial architecture crafted by architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry amid the anti-colonial movements in late 1940s India and West Africa. Through an extensive selection of drawings, photographs, and archival materials, the exhibit traces the colonial roots of Tropical Modernism in British West Africa. It also examines how this architectural style endured in the post-colonial era, symbolizing the independence and progress of nations like India and Ghana. Moreover, it raises a pertinent question: ‘As we look to a new future in an era of climate change, might Tropical Modernism, serve as a useful guide?’.
