Case study - SGA one
Along the same lines as my already published Architectural Shadow Projection (ASP) and the perceived kinetic architectural design ideals. The next architectural concept i am exploring again makes use of the form going way beyond its obvious function. For obvious reasons its termed - Sculpted Graphic Architecture SGA.
In my mind, for todays designs to go beyond the big box, little box design outcome we need an architecture that creates unique shapes from new points of design departure. In this case study the shape and style of the building is born out of the graphic representation of a graphic image as seen from the top sketch design perspective.
The actual shape and structure of the building is uncontrollably born from this point of creative design departure function. This concept is definitely not every ones cup of tea - And many design purists will call me barking mad. Perhaps i am just that and the notion is not far off. However thats immaterial - For me architectural design should not always just be purely function directed. Form can follow whatever is needed to be accomplish - So if your form is a 2D graphic picture of a cape town super hero, then the 3D outcome will be visually very different. Less is more is not to my mind as exciting as more is more.
