The design of any space takes you to the world of that space

As the world is facing increasing risks of closure, fragmentation and exclusion, “to include” has been one of the challenge-words that this year has placed on the path of architecture, in its constant effort to interpret complex questions. The collective value of architectures, in this scenario, can be represented as powerfully by a public toilet as by CERN visitors’ center, by a sports facility conceived as an urban building as by the Serpentine Pavilion, or by various “friendly parasites” with the most diverse scales and materials possible. #arquitectura #resumen #2023 https://lnkd.in/d9JjA3Qi

Wishing you a splendid New Year filled with boundless opportunities! At AannSpace, we're geared up to craft another year of innovative designs and transformative spaces. As we step into this new chapter, let's embrace creativity, forge stronger connections, and design spaces that inspire. May this year bring joy, success, and a plethora of new ventures. Cheers to fresh beginnings, unique concepts, and a year brimming with architectural brilliance! 🌟✨ #HappyNewYear #InnovativeDesigns #ArchitecturalExcellence"

The Gather Zone: gather in teams or groups for presentations discussions in a space where everyone can be heard. Find out more about why zoning is so effective in learning spaces: https://lnkd.in/eXt5eaEQ #wellbeing #schools #design #space

The basics of #design are just as important as its intricacies. This illustration shows how a simple tweak in the design of a #livingspace greatly affects the #functionality of the space in terms of usable space. #designideas #architecturelovers #functionaldesign

🎉🏗️ This February, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we're taking a whimsical journey through the marvels of architecture that have unfolded over the last three decades. But, we're doing it with a twist! 🎶🎬 Imagine if the evolution of architecture could be encapsulated in a song or movie title. What would it be? 🤔🏛️ From the bold lines of modernism to the eco-conscious designs of today, we've witnessed a symphony of change. If you had to pick just one song or movie title that captures the essence, the innovation, and the spirit of these past 30 years in architecture, what would your choice be? 🌍🎵 Is it "A Whole New World" with the advent of sustainable designs? Or perhaps "The Shape of Water," reflecting the fluidity and adaptability of modern structures? 🌱💧 Join us in this creative quest! Drop your song or movie title in the comments below. Let's make a playlist and filmography that reflects our journey through the ever-evolving skyline of our world. 📽️🎶 #ArchitectureAnniversary #30YearsOfDesign #SongAndStructures #MovieMagicBuilds #DesignEvolutionPlaylist

Excited to start this year sharing the third episode of my latest project with all of you: "FUTURE". This series, entirely crafted by artificial intelligence using just a mobile phone, invites us to explore both dystopian and optimistic visions of the future in one-minute capsules. In the third episode, titled "Abandoned," it addresses the issue of recent architectural works that, regardless of their original purpose, quickly fall into disuse. The episode highlights the general trend of not considering a second life for buildings, leading to the creation of contemporary ruins. The narrative delves into the idea that these structures, not conceived with a long-term vision, become silent witnesses to irresponsible political and architectonical decisions. It goes beyond structures designed for world expos, cultural cityscapes, and Olympic pavilions, encompassing a wide range of projects. The storyline encourages reflection on the importance of integrating sustainability and adaptability into contemporary architectural design, emphasizing the need to rethink the approach to construction to avoid the proliferation of modern ruins. #future #architecture #sustainability #aiart

Contest alert📢📢📢 In the year 2100, our cityscapes have transformed. Buildings morph and shift like living organisms, self-driving cars navigate streets in the sky, and the skyline looks like a product of AI gone wild. Will our landmarks remain ruins and relics or evolve into progressive forms? Perhaps our cities only exist in virtual realms or look like something straight out of the Jetsons? Or will they go back to nature and mushroom under the cover of forests? The possibilities are endless. 🚀The Challenge: Submit an A3 size poster designed with text and visuals that depict what the future of your city or town could look like! 🎁The Reward: Three winners get a collection of books on art and design specially curated by Akshat Bhatt along with a signed copy of ‘Emotion and Commotion’, a graphic compilation of thoughts on design, architecture and life by Akshat Bhatt and the Office of Architecture Discipline! Our favourite entries will also make it to our social media platforms! The details: 📅 Last date of submission - 14th April 2024 🖌️Scanned watercolours, AI-generated masterpieces - anything works! 👥Anybody can enter, whether it be as individuals or in groups. Tag a friend who you think would nail the brief, and let’s get those creative juices flowing!

Did you know there's a whole science dedicated to how spaces affect your mind? Neuroarchitecture bridges the gap between neuroscience (how your brain works) and architecture (the design of buildings and spaces). It explores how our surroundings – from light and sound to color and texture – can influence our: 1. Mood & Focus: Ever feel sluggish in a dark room? Certain design elements can promote relaxation, concentration, and even creativity. 2. Stress Levels: Harsh lighting and clutter can trigger the fight-or-flight response. Neuroarchitecture aims to create calming environments that reduce stress and anxiety. 3. Learning & Memory: Strategic design can enhance focus and information processing, making learning and memory formation more efficient.
