Wall Assignment - Inspiration

Attached above is a picture of the Grand Canal Square Theatre and Commercial Development in Dublin, Ireland. The project was worked on by architect Daniel Libeskind. Much of his work utilizes angular forms similar to those seen in this design. This building as well as others done by Libeskind provided inspiration for my final model. I like his use of unique shapes to create a visually appealing aesthetic. I hope everyone will recognize the connection between his work and my final model today in class.

Wall Inspirations

The pictures in order are of:

1. Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago
2. Museum of Furniture Design in Europe
3. Elevation of a primary school in London
4. Future Museum of African American History in Washington, D.C.
5. Building on new Novartis campus
6. Close up of Novartis building
   

The images in order are Aqua Tower in Chicago (Jean Gang), Brick Weave House in Chicago (Jean Gang), St. Ignatius Chapel in Seattle (Stephen Holl), and the proposed Port Authority Terminal in New York (Santiago Calatrava). In the case of Aqua and the terminal, I liked how the architects were able to combine sinuous curves and straight lines. The Brick Weave house seems like a great example of perforation and separation between structure and envelope. Stephen Holl's chapel is really cool for the way he uses reflected light (the pictures really don't do it justice).
