Soundscape has acoustic features formed by a combination of different types of sound sources that can reflect the natural process or the identity of a particular space. The combination is capable of creating a harmonious environment or damaging the acoustic environment. As the urban sprawl extensively, the soundscape environment has changed drastically from natural acoustic environment into anthrophony environment. Louds, annoyance and unpleasant sounds had replaced the sound of nature in the city. During my bachelor study, I intended to explore on how to improve urban well being through sounds. How to adapt soundscape design strategy? Is it relevant to have natural acoustic within urban settings? Link below is the outcome of my final bachelor project of Urban Parks that adopted soundscape design strategy. The idea is to show landscape has potential role to improve the soundscape in urban settings. https://lnkd.in/gqM2pKh3

Isfahan, also famous by its other name, the half of the world, is the cultural capital of Iran. This city, being home to many great architectures, delicious culinary dishes, and amazing historic churches, is an unforgettable destination. The symbology of Isfahan is diverse and rich. So, when one thinks about Isfahan, many things will come to their mind at first thought. This city is truly a memorable place that can amaze anyone with its lovely magic. In this article, we will explore the symbol of Isfahan. #content #iran #isfahan #blog https://lnkd.in/dnjUy3-G

Learning something this weekend. This time it is #Japan The Importance of ‘Ma’ (Empty Space) in Japan ‘Ma’ (間) is a significant concept in Japanese culture and aesthetics, often translated as “empty space” or “interval.” It is more than just a physical void; ‘Ma’, a relationship between space and time. 1. Balance and Harmony: It asks us to understand that emptiness and intervals between things are just as important as the things themselves. This enhances the beauty and significance of objects and moments. 2. Artistic Expression: Noticeable in painting, gardening, and even in traditional tea ceremonies. ‘Ma’ helps define balance and aesthetics in art, creating a sense of tranquillity and grace. 3. Communication and Music: In music, the intervals between notes (rhythm) and in conversation, the silence can be meaningful. Bringing clarity to thoughts and emotions makes interactions more profound. 4. Architecture and Design: In simple form, it can be seen in the open spaces and light within buildings and rooms, creating a calm and balanced environment. Emphasizes simplicity and the natural flow of space. #japan #concepts #archi #art #learnwithme #designeducation

#decoratedlight #rgbled #colorchanging #lightingshow #Wuhan #lightart The Yellow Crane Tower is a famous ancient building in Wuhan, China, and a symbol of Chinese culture. The Yellow Crane Tower light show refers to the spectacular display of the Yellow Crane Tower beautifully decorated with lights at night. This light show typically combines elements such as lighting, projection, music, etc., and through careful design and arrangement, the entire building shines brightly at night, attracting tourists and locals to come and enjoy. The characteristics of the Yellow Crane Tower light show include: 1. **Visual Effects**: By changing the lights and projection effects, the exterior of the Yellow Crane Tower is decorated vividly, full of dynamism and artistic flair. 2. **Music Accompaniment**: It is usually accompanied by music or sound effects to create a dreamlike atmosphere, enhancing the viewing experience. 3. **Festival Themes**: Sometimes the light show is designed according to festivals or specific themes, adding fun and interest to the viewing experience. 4. **Tourist Attraction**: As a tourist attraction performance, the Yellow Crane Tower light show attracts a large number of visitors, becoming an important cultural tourism activity in the area. Overall, the Yellow Crane Tower light show is an artistic expression that combines traditional culture with modern technology, showcasing the beauty of architecture and the fusion of architectural beauty and lighting art, providing viewers with a dual enjoyment of visual and auditory pleasure.

Risk factors of picture galleries The common Galerion project of Seacon Europe and the Köfém Education and Community Center is nearing its end. During the implementation, the partners created a monitoring solution tailored to the institution for the continuous measurement and control of temperature, relative humidity and light conditions. Sensor based measurements were used to classify the interior environment and establish risk factors for the paintings. In this way, they were able to evaluate the exhibition spaces from the point of view of the artefacts. We can already say that the project was useful, as we were able to better map the conditions typical of the building. We selected four rooms with different characteristics, in which, in addition to the measurements, we collected a lot of information about the way of use. As a result our colleagues became even more aware of how necessary and important small attentions are even in everyday life: lighting should only be used in justified cases and to an extent, and the temperature should not be kept higher than really necessary during the heating season. With these, we can greatly contribute to the preservation of paintings. The Galerion project was implemented in the framework program of the international cluster CREATHRIV-EU, co-funded by the European Union’s Single Market Program. https://lnkd.in/dHR5gBCi

🎧🎙️ Short teaser of the latest #ThinkBambooPodcast with visionary Bamboo artist Holland 🎍located in Vietnam 🇻🇳 Architectural thinking involves complex considerations, while art allows freedom from restrictions, fostering creative exploration and influencing material use regulations. Often I think as an architect frustrates me because you have to think about so many other elements involved to get to the product or the design idea or the concept. And with art you can kind of throw out all these restrictions and just think about the material. And also it's a great way to get people to see it in a new light and also to set precedent in countries for how we can use the material because regulating a sculpture-is a very different set of rules than if you're building a house for someone to live in. So you get to break and bend ways you can use the material, and then that can jump into future applications that might surprise us. That inspires potential young architects which work on living structures for people. Just like by thinking, like having another approach to what they classically learn in universities or technical schools, how you can build a house, right? Because why should it always be the same? If we have new tools and the fresh mindsets, everything can be improved. 👌 #Bamboo

Located in the former capital of the Bantustan of the Venda people, this low cost housing project serves to provide affordable and communal style living to young individuals and couples in Limpopo. This is every single wall in our Thohoyandou Project. What this exercise reveals is a design language based on the climate - heavy shapes, window cutouts, solid versus void, balancing heavy and light. The process of abstraction and simplification during the design process can reveal underlying themes that can be used in strengthening the conceptual link to structure and form. Detail, simplify, detail, simplify, detail, simplify...

These three- or five- story pagodas you find at a few temples in Japan, some of which are over 1000 years old, have a desirable feature for architecture in Japan: they are resilient to earthquakes. As far as historical records say, although many have burnt down due to fire or lightning, almost none of these pagodas have crumbled due to a quake. The magnitude 7.5 earthquake of 1596 tore down everything man-made in Kyoto, all except the Tōji pagoda. The secret is in the wooden pole that strikes through the center of the tower. It is secured loosely at the top roof, and usually planted into the ground at the foundation. The idea is that when the building shakes, the pole serves as a pendulum to absorb the shock, dancing like a snake 🐍. Surprisingly, when the Hōryūji pagoda was taken apart for maintenance, the carpenters found that the bottom of the pole had been eaten by termites and therefore was floating in the air 😂! Still, no earthquake has taken the tower down. A 4th grader experimented with the mechanism by striking a pole through a tower made of Jenga, and left a research paper for all of us to read. He proved that his stack of Jenga was much more resilient to shakes with a wooden pole than a metal one 😂! Flexibility and resilience seem to go hand in hand, and it’s not necessarily the latest technology that does the job 😁.
