THE ARCHITECT ( NORMAN FOSTER)

norman foster

philosophy

foster breaks with tradition. the key to foster's approach is that he seems always to be aspiring to an elsewhere, another world, partly that of a long-gone age - the world of industrial pioneers, the mystical and fascinating world of jules verne... a world too of contemporary futurism, space conquest, science fiction and cartoon strips, a world of suprahuman places. foster's single minded individualism is exceptional, he refuses to be lumped in with the 'high-tech' style, he recognizes no professional peers. --------- '... no detail should be considered too small' foster said, ' the ends are always social - generated by people rather than the hardware of buildings... ... since it's inception, more than thirty years ago, the studio has been driven by the pursuit of design excellence, based on a belief that our surroundings directly influence the quality of our lives, whether in the workplace, at home or in the wide variety of public spaces in between... ... we use technology, but not just for its own sake. I believe that the best architecture comes from a synthesis of all of the elements that comprise a building: the structure that holds it up, the services that allow it to work, the ecology of the building - whether it is naturally ventilated, whether you can open a window, the quality of natural light, the materials used - their mass or their lightness, the character of the spaces, the symbolism of the form, the relationship of the building to the skyline or the streetscape, and the way in which the building signals its presence in the city or the countryside. I think that holds true whether you are creating a landmark or deferring to historical setting. successful architecture addresses all these things, and many more... ...the quest for quality embraces the physical performance of buildings - how do they endure in a world subject to volatile change? - do they survive or become obsolete? - does the quality of thinking that lies behind their design anticipate needs which could not even be defined when they were created? only the test of time can tell...

MY DAY TODAY..

Today is a Saturday..a whole of student here are going back or hanging out with their friend...but i and my friend in this architecture studio still do our task..sometimes i feel that very bored with all this..but sometimes i enjoyed it because i don't need to waste my money out there...This is architecture student life...i should proud..
Our lecturer give new assignment or we known as a project...our new project is about guard house...very interesting...but the day by day,my skin become dark because the sunshine..so.this is my sacrifice actually...even i still student...and i want to to learn more about life...

CHAPTER 4

CYCLICAL TIMELINE MODELS

What we have yet to be familiar with is the cyclical historial timeline which locates major in a cyclical manner."History repeats itself" may thus be explained not as exact events by domination of the management of earth.

In my class today, my lecturer ask me to fine isn't the story about ISLAM of PROPET is NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W..

According the AL-QURAN, NABI MUHAMMAD is the last of propets in ISLAM..Along time ago,now and hereafter..

Let's say,it;s all refers to the AL-QURAN.

CHAPTER 3

Today i learn a lot of thing new about HISTORY & THEORY in my class...


What the mean of theory in architecture?

In architecture it is important to us learn and add our knowledge about theory and history.It is because, as an architect we will faces with any situation along we are involved in this field..
It is depends to AL-QURAN also for the MUSLIM that believed a whole of law of our life it's according to the centre point.And the MUSLIM should know about that.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION!!!

HISTORY OF MESOTAMIAS


CAVE DWELLING
Archeological and social importances

Cave dwellings are common in certain areas of northern China where they serve as homes for more than 40 million people. In the provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi where the yellow earth (called loess) is quite compacted, cave houses have been in use for centuries. Below is a picture of this terrain in Shaanxi.

Loessal terrain in Southern Shaanxi

There are two main kinds of cave dwellings below.

The first type of cave dwellings are those carved out of the side of a cliff. Cliffside dwellings are often south-facing, and the facades are sometimes faced with bricks or stone. Why are the exterior openings framed with arches?

The second type of cave dwelling is built where there are no hills. In this situation, people create sunken courtyards. The courtyards of cliff dwelling are usually larger than those of pit dwellings, because they are easier to create than sunken courtyards which must be excavated.

HUTS OF LEPENSKI VIR
Archaeological and social importances
(The Iron Gates Mesolithic)

This harmony between the environment and architectural forms has, on the other hand, been achieved with measurements and proportions which cannot be found anywhere in nature. The architecture of Lepenski Vir has something extremely mathematical in it; that is, in all its forms you can feel the presence of concrete lines and specific numbers. It can clearly be felt that the architectural forms are saturated with the mysticism of numbers, but the primary unit measure cannot be translated into today's mathematical language; it is not one specific number or an anthropological measurement and, although the module has been made through rational procedures, it still seems like a mystical dimension that has built the microcosms and macrocosms of Lepenski Vir.
