Architects illustrating abstract ideas
Ami Ran
Among the factors affecting the form of a
building and the way it is experienced, one
may naturally include the following: purpose
of the building, location, connection with
other spaces, user’s needs and aspirations,
statutory restrictions, budget, topography,
climate, light orientation, winds, culture,
concept, and overt or concealed influence of
energy.
All these, however, cannot a building make
without an architect, who imbues these
abstract terms with concrete expression.
This he accomplishes by virtue of his
training, skills, experience, and especially
- his subjective world of concepts.
To examine how the world of concepts differs
from one architect to another, from time to
time AI asks a number of architects to
illustrate two opposing abstract concepts.
This time we chose ‘joy’ and ‘sadness’.
The results are presented here, side by side
with a respective building planned by each
of the architects.
