Exploring the other side of Rome. ☀ As an Architecture student at Sapienza, I created a visual collage highlighting some of the city's infamous areas—showcasing a different side of the Eternal City. #Rome #UrbanExploration #UrbanDesign #Sapienza #Architecture #CityLife #HiddenGems #VisualStorytelling #CreativeMapping #RomeUnseen"

YACademy - Architecture for Heritage Workshop Tutor: Andreas Fries - Senior Partner at Herzog & de Meuron I am delighted to share an image of my Final Proposal for the University Island of Poveglia - Veneto, Italy Titled: Axial The project aims to establish coherent connections between the existing heritage to the new life of the island, proposed use and mass. Utilising an axial approach to define clear square typologies in the open spaces of the built island. All built interventions are raised to a shared plateau, to define a consistent horizontality to the intervention, while visually connecting the axial interventions through the voids and fragmentation in the built mass A vertical slat façade system takes its inspiration from the hidden timber pile foundations which support Venice from submergence. While serving as a tool to integrate the raised intervention into the untouched green spaces of the island which define the skyline of Poveglia with its dense vegetation.

The creative fusion of Indian, Moorish and Mughal architecture is evident in the magnificent Haveli Fortress doors, which serve as historical portals.  https://lnkd.in/enU_uh-K

Good stuff to know! Elevators have evolved from simple pulleys used in ancient Rome and Greece to modern innovations. The safety elevator, introduced by Elisha Otis in 1852, revolutionized vertical transportation by preventing falls, making it a crucial component in high-rise buildings and modern architecture. #ElevatorHistory #VerticalTransportation #Skyscrapers #Innovation #UrbanDesign

How did the built environment come into being? Along with the emergence of civilisation, I realised that architecture has always been a part of our history; not plain shelter, not protection against the natural forces but the art of architecture. Our nomadic lifestyle was replicated in the Inuit's makeshift dwellings, crafted from natural elements, and the Mongolian yurts' tent-like structures. Architecture encouraged permanent settlements in Çatalhöyük, Turkey where interconnected mud brick housing promoted community living. With religion, architecture was indelibly shaped to accommodate spiritual evolution and the Hagia Sophia, initially built as a cathedral transformed into a mosque and later converted to a museum symbolises the religious influence on architecture. The Industrial Revolution reshaped rapid construction techniques for mass production. The Crystal Palace in London featured a cast iron and plate glass structure utilising modular design. The invention of the elevator made way for vertical expansion with The Equitable Life Building in New York City being the spatial experiment. In the present-day scenario, how can we carry this history forward not just as case studies but to inform modern-day architecture? #historyofarchitecture #lessonsfromhistory #worldarchitecture #monumentalarchitecture #architecture #design #ArchitectureAndDesign

The Kailasa temple, carved from a cliff, is a remarkable cave temple. Built in the 8th century, it features sculptures and monuments of Shiva and other deities. The architecture blends styles from different regions. Learn more interesting facts about architectural wonders with RV College of Architecture. #RVCA #Architecture #RVEI #GoChangeTheWord

I couldn't agree with your viewpoint more. In the rapid development of downtown Toronto, historical landmarks have lost their place, and all preserved buildings, with their so-called "shells," have lost their own historical narratives. As a complete structure, every material and structure should reflect the unique characteristics of that building. This concerns the technology of its construction and the aesthetics popular during its respective era. The most fascinating aspect of historical buildings is sometimes their ability to evoke the scenes of their original use without needing words—they are stories in themselves. Yet, in Toronto now, there are fewer and fewer buildings that can tell such stories, which is regrettable for the city. In contrast, Montreal and Quebec City excel much more in preserving buildings from an architectural conservation perspective. Walking through the streets of Quebec, one can truly feel the charm of the city and the historical legacy left by the French in this region. Furthermore, from a sustainability standpoint, demolishing buildings outright and using completely new materials is not environmentally friendly. As an architect, it's crucial, both for environmental reasons and budget considerations, to reconsider the materials that can be reused from existing buildings.

Another bunch of sketches of water temples inspired by the XVIc architecture of Rome! This time in a more refined version. Done by our Crabmaster Łukasz Ślebodziński #conceptart #gameart #environmentart #environmentdesign

Did you know that architecture is more than just buildings? 🏛️ It's a reflection of culture, history, and societal values woven into the fabric of our cities. Whether it's the majestic temples of ancient civilizations or the sleek skyscrapers of modern metropolises, architecture tells a story of human ingenuity and creativity across time and space. #CulturalHeritage #ArchitecturalNarratives #UrbanIdentity #HistoricalSignificance #BuiltEnvironment
