Wildetecture foundry machine concept sketches




So here is the thing - As much as Ive said about the "big box" , "small box" architectural design grid mindsets - Sometimes one just has to design within the perameters of the BOX - And if your going to design "The box" - One might as well make it such that its completely unapologetic in its visual outcome display. Cubism on dispay in its raw artistic form. 

Here is a foundry upgrade machine type BOX fenestration - Multi use space - I design with the idea that  artists will live and work in the space and be inspired to create  expressive artistic pieces that will brighten up the difficulties we are all currently facing in this complicated existence. What with all the warmongering destructivites sabre rattling frothing all around us artistic dreamers.

My spark point of departure for this brutist or really brutalist modernist architectural beast design was a conversation I had with the folk showing me the scope of works of the original building.  The story i mentioned was a super car analogy of  comparing the Lamborghini design with a Ferrari design approach. Not taking engines into account and going on pure aesthetics for me and my opinion - your very welcome to yours. Then its not mine then is it?

When an engineering mind strives to celebrate design, its as a complete block of a machine, like the early designed Lamborghinis. Whilst to my mind when an artistic mind expresses itself, its as the curves of a beautiful woman. Which to me is more how a sculptured curvaceous Ferrari design looks. Both very powerful representations but different in the end product aesthetic. One presents as a complete beast of a square machine the other as an organic sinuous curvaceous shape. Thats my own opinion and as you know its open to a million interpretations. Its for me a beauty and the beast conundrum. Thats the beauty of personal design interpretation. Its beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
