The research I am involved in looks to develop and challenge the current modernistic dogmas, and proposes a new form of architecture that responds to more complex scenarios. My portfolio consists of work that has been accumulated across my masters highlighting the plethora of prototyping and design formulations. The designs cover all scales of research, master planning, single building topology and interiors, showcasing the range in which the new Avant grand (parametricism) brings to our contemporary society.   #parametricism #tectonism

Where art meets architecture! My latest illustration celebrates the iconic Bauhaus style, where powerhouse colors meet bold design. A fusion of creativity, innovation, and visual storytelling. #BauhausInspiration #PowerhouseColors #IllustrationArt #ArchitecturalDesign #ArtMeetsArchitecture #DesignInnovation #ColorfulIllustration #ArchitecturalVisualization #CreativeExpression #VisualArt #ArtisticArchitecture #BuildingDesign #IllustratedArt

Step into a realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. At Ark Renders, we're not just rendering spaces; we're crafting portals to new worlds. Each project is a gateway, opening to infinite possibilities where architecture meets art in a dance of light and shadow. What if the walls around you could speak? What would they say about the dreams they were built upon, the hands that crafted them, and the lives they will embrace? We bring these silent narratives to life, providing a glimpse of not just buildings, but the future homes of memories and experiences. Join us on this fantastical journey. Embrace the unknown and see the unseen. Follow us Ark Renders, where we map the architecture of dreams. #ArkRendersDreamscapes #BeyondRendering #ArchitecturalAlchemy #MappingDreams #FollowTheFantasy #ArkRenders #ArchitecturalRenders

Explore the legacy of architectural movements that have shaped our cities and spaces. From the towering spires of Gothic cathedrals to the sleek lines of Postmodern skyscrapers, each style reflects a unique chapter in human history and innovation. These movements are more than just design choices—they’re statements about the culture, values, and technological advances of their time. Discover the stories behind the styles that inspire architects and designers to this day, and see how each movement continues to influence modern architecture. #ArchitecturalHistory #GothicArchitecture #PostmodernDesign #DesignEvolution #ArchitecturalStyles #ClassicArchitecture #Modernism #BaroqueArchitecture #RenaissanceArt #ArtDeco #BauhausMovement #RomanesqueStyle #NeoclassicalDesign #IndustrialArchitecture #Minimalism #Brutalism #MidCenturyModern #ArchitectureLovers #ArchitecturalHeritage #CulturalDesign

As we step into the first day of fall, let's explore five symbolic meanings of the season that can shape an architect's approach, leading to thoughtful, responsive, and sustainable design. ·        Fall symbolizes the transition from summer’s warmth to winter’s dormancy. In architecture, this represents the need to design for flexibility and adaptability to evolving trends, technologies, and conditions. ·        Fall is a time of reflection and preparation as nature prepares for winter. Architects can draw parallels in their work, where careful planning, reflection on past projects, and preparation for future challenges are crucial. ·        Just as fall balances the extremes of summer and winter, architects can be inspired by this harmony to create spaces that balance functionality, aesthetics, and environmental factors. ·        In fall, the aging of leaves symbolizes the passage of time. For architects, this can drive the design of timeless structures that endure through different eras. ·        Fall's vibrant colors and natural beauty can influence architectural design, encouraging the use of natural materials, colors, and sustainable practices that reflect the beauty of the environment. #FirstDayOfFall #ArchitecturalInspiration #RLFaei

"Architectural Visions: Fusing Urban Design with Natural Elements" Exploring the intersection of architecture and art in this conceptual graphic. The design reimagines urban structures with a touch of nature, blending organic elements with modern architectural lines. This piece celebrates the balance between built environments and the natural world, creating a vision of future spaces that harmonize with their surroundings.

In my architectural practice, every project starts with tracing the energy lines that flow through the plot. This step is essential as it sets the foundation for the entire design. By carefully studying and marking these lines, I align my work with the natural flow of the land. This approach helps me understand the space and how to work with its natural energies. Once the energy lines are traced, I let my creativity flow and I create art of the land. Guided by this research, I create designs that are functional, beautiful, and in harmony with nature. This method isn't just a technique; it's a philosophy. By respecting the natural energies, we create spaces that are vibrant, balanced, and connected to their surroundings. #sustainablearchitecture #holisticdesign #energydesign #greenbuilding #ecofriendlydesign #natureinspired #architecturaldesign #environmentalarchitecture #biophilicdesign #earthfriendly #creativearchitecture #designwithnature #sustainableliving #modernarchitecture #landscapearchitecture

Roberto Burle Marx (1909-1994) wasn’t your typical architect. This Brazilian visionary wasn’t concerned with bricks and mortar, but rather with living, breathing canvases. Burle Marx was a landscape architect who blurred the lines between artist and designer, forever changing the way we see the spaces around our buildings. .

Omnipotence and impotence - by Camilla Block “It is not in our control, projects can die anytime,” as Camilla, co-founder of Durbach Block Jaggers, stated at our event in Sydney. This lack of control stems from a variety of unpredictable external forces that can influence, alter, or even stop projects, making the process of architecture not just a creative endeavor, but also a navigation of a minefield of potential disruptions. The precarious nature of architecture, shaped by these uncontrollable external circumstances, puts a level of uncertainty over every project, serving as a reminder of the profession's complexity. ▶️ Her talk, as well as this interview, are already on our website, linkhttps://lnkd.in/drXXcG65. 🛋️ Furniture by Space Furniture 📸 Koolhaas’ picture by Fabrizio Albertini #architectsnotarchitecture #AnATalks #CamillaBlock #durbachblockjaggers #architecture #architects #architecturaldesign #designuncertainty #architecturaldesign #projectmanagement #designchallenges #creativeprocess #buildingarchitecture
