Structure as an sculpture

One of the best and easiest things to make a good preliminary project is to consider how to design the structure. It becomes functional interesting and without much effort you can combine the fundamental characteristics of architecture.

Designing a structure has to be a way to get a sort of a sculpture in order to make it accessible to people.

Structure with it combines solid and voids, texture, knots, transparency, illumination and repetition. Essential characteristics to consider.
Structures are a very big problem when it comes to building or designing because there are other things to consider like the main installations and building systems, a well manage structure could let all and every one of installations so they could be visible, playing with the colours of the electrical cable or contrasting the pipes of water from the walls.

Structure in a building is what makes the building, in the structures are all the forces of static fighting together, structure should be visible in most of the projects that means that the whole building is showing itself how it is and utility installations have to be design to make a well manage structural project.

Sculpture Architecture: UN Studio

This Amsterdam firm is a network of specialists in architecture, urban development and infrastructure.

Architecture arts and abstract sculpture are combined here to create this monumental very functional buildings. The process before the final result is developed as art as an sculpture. In UN Studio i think they at first come up with very simple ideas, things you have in mind. It is evident the artist nature of this projects.

They have this complex unique artistic treatment, that way they can end up with forms that you can sink in, which are never boring rather they are so many ways of understanding it. The whole building becomes Architecture.

There is also a thing to mention is the function of the building goes in direct relation with the type of forms and art they used, the relation is so accurate that even makes the construction or building work better.

Although the result in UN Studio is spectacular i am amazed by the process, simple ideas turn in to artistic and functional buildings, it is indeed a excellent example of what the point of the blog is.
Relating Architecture with abstract art and sculpture.

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.

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.
