The world shares a love/hate relationship with Zaha Hadid and her offsider, Patrik Schumacher. Their architecture is futuristic, it is fluid. There is no room for historic sensitivity. They embrace new design ideologies founded in parametricism and now they are coming to Brisbane thanks to the Sunland Group! Due to start construction in 2015 are […]
The work of Zaha Hadid seems like a dream from another timeframe. It feels worlds apart from our micro efforts to build and design Australian houses in the suburbs of Brisbane for between $1200 and $3000 dollars per m2. The two pursuits hardly seem like they are even in the same profession. This being said […]
Advances in architectural geometry are evolving out of sophisticated parametric software and the use of robotics technology. Sci-arc, Southern California’s renowned architectural institute is leading the way in this pursuit through education and research. The below link is a glimpse into the future of design where organic fluidity meets mechanical precision. It is really stretching […]
In the world of architecture, there are two camps: 1. Those that look backward to gauge a grounding for the future; 2. and those that break new ground, not letting past ideas cloud their vision for creative direction. Greg Lynn is an architect who has continually pushed the boundaries when it comes to composition and […]
