Architecture & Design

[Cape_F0X]

Thought it might be interesting to hear what others like when it comes to Architecture, Design and Style.

I love a mezzanine floor for so reason.



So, what weird and wonderful details do you admire in a living space?

[Contrast]

It has always been my dream to weld a massive DVD rack out of pieces of scrap metal.
And no, I'm not joking.

[Adagio]

I can't tell you why... But I absolutely dig this!
When it comes to Architecture. Victor Horta was an absolute genius!





I'm also a huuuuge fan of Steampunk!


Also... Deja Vu, fox! Haha!

[Contrast]

What, do you need to follow him on Patreon before you can open that door?

[Raven Song]

I have this obsession over tiny spaces (I blame my small room in London for this). So I avidly follow several small spaces youtubers and want to make furniture to fit into tiny rooms.

ALSO

I heard today that they're going to rebuild the Colossus in Greece and he's going to be earthquake proof and have a library and culture centre and cost $300 million...

As if they aren't in enough debt!

It's not Deja Vu, it's focus group testing.

You could probably notice from my first picture that I am a fan of modern design.
This is the Jake Dyson Arial light. The heat pipes and fins are not just for show, keeping the LED cool greatly increases its life.

Like legit, if this comes to fruition... I am going on a boat and looking up his skirt

[Cape_F0X]

PG-13. And that's a statue, not a residential or work structure/object.

[Franky]

Normally I wouldn't paint on tiles but this is so artistic and well designed. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see such strong color seperation in a spacious area such as this.

Which part of "They'll make it into a library, a cultural centre and restaurants" did you miss? It's architecture in sculpture form. More and more often there is a crossover, with multifunction architecture becoming common place in society.

I know. I am just not going to give it full marks for practically and ease of construction.

[Galahad]

I am not an architectural aficionado, and hence I do not have much of a background in it. However, I have always found myself drawn to Victorian England residential architecture, dating back to the mid-1800s"




There is something elegant, tall and graceful about it.

But doesn't it fascinate you? it's a marvel of engineering and architectural prowess!! Why should architecture be practical or easy to make? shouldn't it push the very limits of our constructive capabilities?

take for example -

It is beautiful is it not?

Or this! (My personal favourite as a horse rider)

I always wanted to be either an architect, an interior, or an exterior designer (or all the above). I love it, am fascinated by it. I want to see how far the world can push it!!! Buildings are being made with independent structures to allow for more safety in earthquakes and flooding. Engineers are themselves architects, while architects are encouraged to understand engineering.
Art and function are becoming synonymous, the two merging in a ballet of arabesques and usefulness.

Every building, no matter how "ugly" is a labour of art and love. Every piece of furniture, a gift of some ones mind.

[Cape_F0X]

I do admire those buildings. I am just pessimistic lately due to a building I frequent. (not going to building shame here) So at the moment I want people to get the basics right before they design a master piece. Of course it also helps if the building isn't built by the lowest bidder.

[Raven Song]

I understand. I too enjoy simpler things sometimes. Like... if I could... I would live in a simple, plain and boring, hobbit hole.

You can have your hobbit hole.

I'd take something a bit more like this.

OH MY...

I LOVE THAT!!!!

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BUILD MY HOUSE INTO A MOUNTAIN!!

Haha!
PS. Fox!
There are 2 kinds of Image tags, use the one written out "image", rather than the "img" one...

[Cape_F0X]

Potato, Patato. (Oops)

[Raven Song]

You say you like basics and people must go back to them, then you demand that

Honestly, make up your mind man

I want one of these in my house

[Cape_F0X]

That's a "Killer" seat!

And with basics I meant getting in and out of a room, ventilation and shading factors. Building furniture that lasts more than two seconds.

[Galahad]

...Building furniture that lasts more than two seconds.

I infer from that statement that you are not a fan of IKEA.

[Franky]

Cape fox have a thing for minimalist architecture. I also like it but I have a thing for wood as well though.

This house however:



Fuck yes!

[Cape_F0X]

@ Azure: That statement has nothing to do with IKEA.

@ Impw: I love wood, my room is full of it. And I also saw that house today, it's stunning!

[Galahad]

I know, Fox. I was joking.

[Cape_F0X]

I should have known.

[Raven Song]

What's that phrase? People who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones...

I absolutely loved the house from 13 Ghosts, and I genuinely wouldn't mind living in it (excluding the murderous otherworldly guests)

[Contrast]

I would hate that. I'd always feel like people were watching me. Just give me a blanket and a nice, dark cardboard box and I'm fine.

[Raven Song]

I feel like I'm getting an insight into Contrasts inner mind...

[Cape_F0X]

What happened to thinking outside the box?
