Integration and eficiency

Architecture is our way of adapting the environment to us. To this concept we should add that after adapting the environment we should integrate with it.

In our cities we see a substantial difference between it and the nature (if not destroyed) around.

The task for society and architects specifically is to move to a integrational thought of the place to live with the ecosystem. Architecture has now more than ever to ripe a part, to turn 180° to look forward to live in an already created by nature ecosystem without damaging it.

Humans as a part of nature cannot live as we do today (it is not natural), we are a piece of the great machine call earth and do to the separation of the process we are creating our own and as that happens the earth is in danger of losing theirs which has been a home to various types of life.

Ecosystems and people. Higher cities surrounded by jungle, one building one city, a great building, cities communicated by speed trains, energy from huge solar panels outside the city-building, designs of places not edifications, one hole great building for a sustainable future.

As this will happened if we make it through the global warming, humans are beginning to change our conduct towards the only known planet that we can live.

Green Architecture

As the world is going through a speeded up heating process, architecture has many fields of action in this issue for the worst or the better.

Designing a building self sustainable, with clean energy, with biomass that can support the environment and solve the necessities of people; it’s a pretty difficult task but it takes consciousness to make it happen.

Construction is one of the mayor issues in global warming; it’s very big consumer of natural resources and it waste a big percentage of what it consumes. The task is not simple in this field but in labor we can do a lot, recycling wood, recycling transitorily usage material etc.

The surface buildings are very inefficient in most cases.
Surface can be used as a energy provided or a space
to have green biomass helping to the cooling system
of the building.

Another important part of the green architecture is the design. Green has given to architecture a new amazing concept that is to integrate green biomass to the building design. It gives to the building contact with the environment, as we must leave opened spaces for the green biomass the building is also given some transparency, structure come to sight and the building form turns irregular very far from monotony.

Green architecture could be consider as the top of the modern movement, the organically forms, the regular forms combined create a like optimums very consistent forms.

Cities in forests or little forest in cities can be distinguished very easily by it contrasting forms and the whole nature of both; the buildings and nature. Green architecture can bring continuity to the city and nature; it can have a controlled ecosystem without taking plants and trees instead comminuting them with the building.

Sculpture Architecture: Herzog and De Meuron

Skyscraper with 57 levels that seams like a huge block constructed with Lego's will we located at the 56th Leonard street and which include 145 residences. It has been planned to be built in a 2 year lapse, the approximately cost of each apartment will be between 3.5 millions to 33 millions. Each one of those will have fine luxury details and outside private spaces.
The different levels of the building rotate from its central point and from then each
block(spaces) is irregularly disposed which cause every level to be different.
The area of the land in which will be constructed is 12954 square meters.

Textures

May be a way to decor the form, could be away to even hide it. Textures give character to a architectural proyect it is the 2D art capturing the essence for what is made. Textures in architecture might be solutions to many or the main solution to the problems to solve. Textures can give to the inside of the building the adequate climate or light filter.

Most of the time texture tend to higher the price of a proyect, but textures can also be solved by the constrast between commun materials used for the purpose, leting materials to be "naked" to show. Might be a good solution to put a ver rasp material to a very smoth one in a dinnig room for example that way we can bring a little controled outside to the inside.

Talking again about textures, it is the main element in abstract art and also the theam but the good or bad an abstract art is to a naked eye is fundamentally about the texture. To illustrate art has to put the more posible 3D in a 2d so it can also create the ART and not just a cover up of the fabric.

This is anoter fact that related arts and scupture to architecture and one more reason they had been always related.

Architecture art and sculptures are essential to the nature of the human. This topics are necessary in the environment of people, this are the priceless patrimony of a community, where the people itself is reflected.

Architecture works out spaces, forms in which people develop, it is the art where we can see the nature of the people, the indirect influence experienced in history.
A city or a country without a architecture may be a society which has not found its identity. Construction as a utility building is not at all architecture, architecture is defined by the social movements, by the economic reality, by the history, by the region, by the place, climate and by the deep nature of the society.

Art is expression in a whole different sublime language.The colours the textures the detail tells a story in one marked fabric. It reflects directly the stages where the society is going trough.

Sculpture tells about the place the materials, the personal and abstract reality of certain circumstance or object.


Art and sculpture as i told are languages to define certain circumstances under the nature of the society, and here is where they both have to join to make one whole art that is architecture by its own. As it is defined by all the things above, architecture has a social nature and has to find a different language every time depending of the site and society, has to find an art and has to be an sculpture to express realism.
