Conceptual seed of future buildings | World Architecture

Britany Bell, an architecture student in University of Victoria, New Zeland, has made her basic concepts of design. In this design concept she create seed concept may appear in her next design.

Basically, the idea is the concept of plants that grow in the city. Brittany Bell write in the text;

Each year, more and more types of plants that become extinct or endangered. The New Zealand government has proposed the idea to create the archives to seed the Pacific home to the original plant and preserve them for future generations.

Brittany describe that architecture of the future is unpredictable, and therefore there is a need to design buildings that can move and grow like plants in the changing environment and ecosystem. Basically she take the form of bone from the plant's 'cytoskeleton'. From this basic concept it can be further developed in response to building environment and grow with, such as adapting the rainfall, making forms of protection as a wing. These structures can even move to accommodate such protection.

Modern Architectural Wonders | World Architecture

Time flows on without any stop. "The old order changeth, yielding place to new."
The great cities like Mohenjo-Daro, Indraprastha, Babylon, and the great
architectural building like the Pentagon (the world's largest office building by
floor area), World Trade Centre (the twin 110-story towers), are all gone, and
new cities and architecture are growing up in their stead. With the passing of
time, the concept and patterns of architectural industry is rapidly changing.
Every era has its own style and ideology which are reflected onto the
architecture developed and designed in that era. When the world moved into the
21st century, architecture industry reached new heights. With dramatic
innovations in engineering and technology, the modern era is witnessing growing
numbers of skyscrapers and wonderful architectures around the world.
Architectural Evangelist discovers seven iconic modern architectures which
beguile tourists around the world.

Drivers of the Change:

During the Middle Ages, architects and engineers realized the possibility of
constructing building with dazzling height. But, poor technology could not
transform their imaginative ideas into reality. The continuous advancements in
technology and software in modern era are transferring their long-desired
visions into reality. Dramatic improvements in window systems and photovoltaic
system have made architects and designers to build "Net Zero Energy" buildings
with spectacular heights. 3D-4D Building Information Modeling has brought a
paradigm shift in the AEC industry. It helps not only to design a home building,
but provides an end-to-end construction process, addressing the
constructability, coordinating the process, and identifying clashes much before
the actual construction begins. The drivers of changes are the followings:

(1) Economic Development
(2) Advancement in Technology and Engineering
(3) Connotation of Pride and Achievement
(4) Stiff Competition
(5) The Skyscraper Race
(6) Sign of Power
(7) Creativity of Modern Architects

To Visualize Interior and Exterior Views using 3D Architectural Rendering

Architectural 3D Rendering becomes vital process to understand different forms in to visual manners. Conceptual phases like interior, exterior, floor plan and interactive rendering can be evaluated by 3D rendering.

Visualization is the key of success in today's architectural world. Architectural 3D rendering is the most important technique used for visualization. 3D rendering is used to convert different forms in to a visual manner and that allow users to view future building on computer. Basically in architectural rendering you can view all moving objects on computer so one can easily change the design or can solve the error. It plays integral role to understand challenging and complex architectural data.

It is used in various phases like interior design view, exterior design view, 3D floor plan design and interactive rendering. Architects are making 3D models for better interior views and that allow user to select proper lighting, textures, wall paints and furniture arrangements. For conceptual exterior design of building like shadow, parking and lightings, the 3D exterior models are used.

Flooring design must be selected properly as once it set up in building then it will make high cost for changing. So to avoid this problem, industry has developed 3D floor plan design. In 3D floor plan model user can easily view the selected design from all angles and can change it accordingly. So architectural rendering can apply in many ways and it allows applying your ideas for various purposes. So for those grateful advantages it becomes significant process for architect industry.

Rendering plays crucial role in the development of architectural design and pre visualization. For architects, the main purpose is to show how the future building or interior space will look. So rendering is become vital process in selling of projects to buyers or designers. This technique presents accurate product to architects and designers.

Here some advantages of architectural 3D rendering are described:

• It provides multiple solutions from resolving design issues
• Provides pre visualization of new architectural designs
• Flythrough and Walkthrough animated presentation
• Architectural plans from design to documentation

Various Indian based firms are offering low cost rendering services so apart from this it become easy to outsource. By outsourcing rendering projects one can easily grown up business and save cost and precious time.

FCD Yongsan - Landmark Tower

The FCD Yongsan Landmark Tower was conceived and designed by Asymptote and engineered by Thorton Tomassetti to be among the most important and elegant tall buildings of the century. The design of this project utilizes a powerful idea of coupling and stringing together three towers, though each is structurally stable and produces a powerful, iconic image in its own right. The Landmark Tower has been designed to confront the notion of a single spire or object and, instead, utilizes the number three in a powerful way to create a singularity and presence unlike any other. The inherent symbolism and reading of this tower will appeal to the global community and place a focus on South Korea, specifically Seoul’s aspirations for the future. The design of the Tower predicts a new century of accomplishments, of grandeur coupled with modesty and of success coupled with effort and growth. It is a symbol of harmony, reconciliation, possibilities and beauty.

The Absolute Towers, MAD studio | World Architecture

Yansong Ma of the Beijing-based architecture firm MAD created this stunningly curvaceous building for the a new 50-storey condo in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

"Our design forsakes the simplification principle of modernism. In fact, it expresses a higher level of complexity and diversity of modern society through multiple approaches. In the meantime, it caters to (ambiguous) social needs at multiple levels...The towers talk to each other and harmonize with each other. There is a synergy between them, an aura which transcends each of the individual buildings."

Antwerp Port House - concept is a free interpretation

"the concept is a free interpretation of a beam-shaped volume raised above the existing fire brigade building and supported on three sculptured concrete pillars housing the stairs and lifts. two of the pillars are situated on the covered inner courtyard of the firehouse, while the third is located beside an external support point and consists of a panoramic lift shaft...

I am absolutely delighted to be selected to build the headquarters for the APA. Antwerp is one of the world’s busiest shipping ports and the new port house design reflects the city’s worldwide significance in communication and transportation. The dichotomy between the reflective, faceted form of the new extension and the powerful structural mass of the existing fire station creates a bold and enigmatic statement for the city."
