Greek Architecture

Greek Architecture was very influential about in their styles and techniques and which most of the Greek Style used in other countries predominantly in Europe and United States because of the perfect contour and interesting design where used even nowadays. Those style became the new mode of Architecture.
Greek influenced our civilization, described in their God and Goddesses, many people today knows about some of Greek Mythology stories. Greek culture emphasized the beauty of the human body and created idealized human gender forms are still used even today. I was wondering in a majority of Greek Architecture and sculpture includes depictions of the human body particularly to a God or Goddess. They developed of an ideal model of human proportions when they created sculptures of the Gods. This symmetry and proportion existed in the idealized human forms which can be found in their sculpture was reflected in the civilization of Architecture as well.
First people of Greek period began to built structures in a very basic because they usually built a rectangular shape with the use of stones or mud bricks. Most of the homes had one room but the changes of civilization the styled changed too because their forms were mostly residential and the houses were private and have a lot of rooms.
Furthermore, Greek Architecture well-known of their column style, it can distinguish in main ways such as their tops and bases and has channels carved into it. When you look at the roman culture, you notice that many similarities between it and the Greek culture designs including the Architecture.

Roman Architecture

Roman Architecture had an architect were very innovative, their designed buildings have a specific qualities and were borrowed from other culture, they had ability to take from other cultures which applied to have their new faces for architecture, several of the techniques they used helped to influence the types of buildings they built. Roman Architecture had a knowledge were they apply to learn new ways and to create wide spaces for necessary purposes. Usually some of the Roman Architecture more in arch or carved made. They well known on their technique seen in their structures was a beautiful and fascinating major buildings and addition was a common for entrances style. One good example of the rounded structures is Coliseum one of the greatness masterpiece and still regarded as one of the more famous buildings in the world today and the structures that has arch is the Parthenon. Roman learned to utilize new techniques the need for more space created a drive for innovation. All of the buildings built with a great purpose and well planned and they learned to maximize the space uses, usually the arch are necessary for them to talked for announcement and discussed some of  the accomplishment on that period.

Roman Architecture have similarities in Greek Architecture style that’s why some structures are confusing because the techniques were too close. Roman also took elements of Greek Architecture most likely because the two empires were biographically close.

As the Roman empire expanded they became magnificent in their architecture style it runs virtually step with the history of their empires.

Whereas, at beginning, Roman worship for their Gods only at home and in a very simple but because of their awareness to their surroundings they built sites for their Gods; they have space for religious purposes and of course to practice many of their structures philosophies.

I think Roman Architecture start the idea to construct water supply which were built by the Roman army, the Pont Du Gard supplied to the needs of water by the growing population of Roman.

West Asiatic Architecture

West Asiatic Architecture topic get me interesting because some of the words which I have heared and read from the Bibles was supposed dealt in this part of history architecture, like a familiar words, Garden of Eden, Tower of Babel and the famous character Nebuchadnezzar whom the leader for the distructed of Jerusalem. Many stories precisely appeared what was probably happened the time of civilization which wrote in tablet of stones by some of Apostles
By the way make me amazing the time from Prehistoric to West Asiatic architecture that how people being civilized and adapt knowledge and their skill continues to built like palace, temples and tomb for their sovereign or kings, in prehistoric period people in that era made site for astrological purposes which is very neared idea in like babylon period, they built pyramidal towers or also known as Ziggurats have purpose to observe the heavenly bodies, but there are differences on both period because they are not only focused in gods or goddesses to build structures, instead they used it for commercial and social purposes and even to stored their wealth which shown their hierarchy in their community in that era.
Geographically, it gave whole impact and supposed became the sources of minerals in Mesopotamia, Euprates and Tigris river diposited important minerals which is suitable and help for those people like in making buildings in Babylon until it used by Assyrian and adapt in Persian period. The time changes and the period after Babylon honed in to their craft until they get the beauty and perfect color of those materials like bricks which started from mud and clay. Meanwhile, Babylonia known as a traders, they have a lot of workers which they used to build their palaces and irrigation unlike Assyrian they more on socially, sports and fighter, they have great military forces. Persian had same with past era of Assyrian because they used powers as superiority in their community. Whereas, West Asiatic Architecture perceived the era of power, struggles for further extension and to accumulate odds. Palaces and temples being a landmark which remarkable in their hierarchy.

Egyptian Architecture

When I have heared Egyptian Architecture, one comes to my mind it the greatest man made that ever built in Architecture civilization no other than pyramid. It is remarkable landmark of Egypt and one among of the Seven Wonders of the World. Everyone fascinated to the structure of Pyramid even if it only seen on TV or a picture. This would be a dream come true when you see it in actual. For me the topic about ancient Egyptian Architecture is much more interesting because even in our industrialized period, modernist designer adapt idea in some Egyptian Structures. The Egyptian built a lot of temples, tomb and huge sculpture with a lot of paintings in some of those structures. What truly pleasing to the eyes that the structures seems it based in modernist and has a detailed designed from walls, flooring, and columns. Unlike west Asiatic Architecture, Egyptian has much more on massive powers, slaves to build their temples in honors of pharaohs. I think Egyptian started using a perfectly plan, done by a great Architect on that  Era. The whole structure has a function and the solidity abide like in pyramid it has underground or a secret door that according to their beliefs it led to dead end passages. The Pharaohs coffin actual resting place was near  the bottom and where the tomb contained many of the Pharaoh’s personal items. A mummy, one of the representation of Egyptian knowledge in burial and funerary beliefs. This beliefs about the death and the transition to the afterlife, according to them this would be an important preparation that were ritualistically adhered to by the ancient people for their kings and royalty.

PRE-HISTORIC ARCHITECTURE

Prehistoric  architecture  has  a  tremendous  contribution  even in  our  modern  architecture.  Human  started  from  nothing  and  might  have    lack  of   idea  which  they  changed  in  time  goes by. Meanwhile  in  ancient  architecture  structure  many  mysteries  that  how  it  form,  some  question how  and  when  it  built  for   example  like  stonehenge   found  in  England    which one  of  the prehistoric   monument.  Many  speculation    was  exist and  often  Anthropology  spent  time   to   study   some    of  those   structures  but  it  no  precise  time    when  it  totally  built  and how    of  those  huge  stone  blocks    with  tons  of  weight    and   putted  at  the   top,  that  was   really a  wonder,    people  lived  during    that  time    of  neolithic   and  mesolithic  ages  has  great  intelligence  like   what    they  have made    with  the   only  used  of  massive   forces.

Furthermore,  make  me   wonder  that how  they   brought  those  stone  blocks  from  a   hundred  miles  away  and   what   probably  their  purpose  and   how  is  true  that   stonehenge  used  for   astronomical  observation  or  a   sacred  site.  In  addition,  how   people  make   perfect   circle   and   what  tools  they  usually  used  to  make  massive  trilithons  which  is  very  hard stone.  Whereas,  it  simply  symbolizing  the  artistic  mind  of  human  that  ages.  People  begun   to  focus  in  development,   they   usually  learned  how  to  make   crafts  but   before  that  they    only  used    stone tools  for  gathering  food  and  plants   used  for   hunting  wild  animals  and  even  to  make  their  own  shelter.  The  changes  should   brought  them  to  choose  in  a  place  to  settled  where  they  improve  or  more  on  gathering.  It  was  a  majestic  skills   during  a   thousand  years  ago  that  they  made  pottery  and  the   development  of  continues  to  writing.

Prehistoric  human  skills saw  in  some  caves  where  paintings  cultivated  in  stones,  perceivable how  they precisely  lived.  Another   great   skills  of   human  in  that  ages  was  they   built  structures  like  walls   and  shelters   where  made  of   muds  and  strongly  hold  to  the  whole   structure.

Nowadays  human  adapt  some  idea  and  may  be  a  little  bit  similarity   in  prehistoric  structures    design   and  even  materials  used  at  that  time   commonly  use  in  modernist  structures  like  bricks  and   different  style  of  stones.  nevertheless,  the  enthusiastic  mind  of  humans  could  have  been  bring  to  futurerist or  modernist  design  which  started  from  a  prehistoric  civilization  idea.           

3 Architects

       For  now  as  an  Architect  student  it  is  not  easy   what  I  might  suppose  to  do  and  to  how  can  I  emulate like  in  those Architect,  but  I  have  an  idea  that  I  need  to pursue   bring  me  toward  to success  like  some  architects works  and  masterpiece.  I  started with  Architect    Frank  O  Gehry,  he  is  the  director  of  Design of  the  Frank  O  Gehry   Associates,  Inc.  his   best- known   are  Guggenheim Museum  in  Spain,  Disney Concert  Hall  in   Los  Angeles,  Weisman  Art  Museum in  Menneapolis  and  the  Art  Gallery  of  Ontario  in Toronto.  Works  of  architect  O  Geary   referred  to  as  Post- Structuralist   or  within  the  style  of  Deconstructive.  I  fascinated  to  his  designed    and  the  used  of  medium  such  as  metal  and  even  titanium,  I  want  to  use  that  medium too  on  my  own  design   but  I  would  be  sure   all  of  my  design   precisely   belong   to  the  form  of  surroundings  and  surely  I  won't  waste  resources    to  make  one  masterpiece   plan  or   structures  and  my  design  account  to  our  climate,  all  of  these  might have  difference  to   Architect  O  Geary  works  which  he  criticized  and  some  said  he  creating  a  functionless  form.

     Another  architect  I  can  emulate  is  Architect  Harry  Weese,  he   is  known  by  doing  very  interesting  buildings  design  in  Chicago  and  one  of  the  wildest  rides  in  history  of   Chicago  Architecture.  He  is  really  a great  designer     because  of  thousands  of   structures  where  he  planned  such  as    from single-family houses, churches, schools, and small-town community buildings to Washington, D.C enormous  and mind-boggling  Metro public transportation system in Chicago, Weese’s many commissions include the Time & Life Building, the Latin School, and the Metropolitan Correctional Center, as well as such groundbreaking restoration projects as the Auditorium Theatre, the Field Museum, and Orchestra Hall. Beyond specific buildings, Weese wielded influence with visionary planning schemes for transforming downtown Chicago.

Manifesto

Architecture  is  an  organized  profession,  it  is  a  work  of  art  a masterpiece  comes  started  in a creative   mind   of  an   true  artist,  the  style  in  which  buildings  and  other   structures  are  designed  and  constructing  with  as  precise  calculation  and  other  method  of   design  or    principles  that  should  need   to    follow.  To  be  an  Architect  is   my   greatest  dream  which  I  really  like  and  likely  to  succeed  in  this    field.  Furthermore,  in  this  profession  is  more  multi-disciplinary   and necessary  to  feel  energized,  motivated,  contented  and in  control,  this  field   absolutely  broaden  my  knowledge    more  in  planning  and   conceptualizing.  I  know  at  my  self  I  have  talent  and   skills  specially  in  arts  like  in  drafting  which  I  applied  in  this  profession.  I  want  to  make  an  output  like   foundation  and  floor  plan  where  I  had  encounter in  High  School.  

Besides   I  want  to   deal   from  my   future  clients,  to  serve  them    well  and  the  result  is   they   satisfy  to  all  of  my  design  and  plan.  In  this   field  it  required  great   imagination,   creative  person   and  of  course   patience  is   very   significant. Architect  are  necessary  that  should  have  been   aware  to   their   surroundings  and  environment  while  enjoy   analyzing  their  form.

Since  when  I'm  in  High  School   I  made  a  house  perspective,  design in  a  piece  of   paper.  I  really  like  the  design     with  a  wide   window  which  made  of  glass  and  directly  pointed  to  the  East  for  me  to   see  the   beauty  of  sunrise  and  the  fresh    air  passed by  to  whole    structure.

I  have   been  always  interested  in  buildings,  more  fascinated  me  a  buildings  with  a  perfect  shape  or  contour  not  only  the  straight  building   design  and  I  like   the  roof of  the  building    with  a  huge  rounded   like   a   plate  or  have  either  trees  or  plants.  I  was  thinking    some  great   buildings  and   most  of  all  in  Ancient  structures  that  how  they  are   built  and  the   design  of  them  was  so   majestic,  I  enjoy looking  at   beautifully  designed  which   cause  seems an   endless  wonder  at me.

I  imagine  my  self  10  years   from   now  as  one  of  an  certified  Architect  and  a  lot  of establishment  or  buildings  I  planned.  In  addition,  I  want  to help  Architectural  industry  in  a  way  that  I   can,  to  manage  for  further  development   specially in  urban   design.  The design  make   me  uncomfortable,  simply  when  a  house   structure  seems  like  a  box,  without  accurate  design,  have   small  window,  plain  walls  or  ceiling  and  a lot  of  foundation or  have  a  huge  foundation  which  is  too  much for  a  kind   of  simple  structure  or  houses.  As  a  modernist  designer  I  want  in  my  design    that  should  help  to  conserve  energy  and  appropriately  use  not too  much  of  it,  and  use  of   low  expenses   materials   with  a  same  quality  for  me  to  help  to  our  environment,  design   for  me  is  being  effective  if  apply  it  to  do  some  good  in  our  community  and  to  environment.
