Viliyana Filipova — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 03:20:25 +0000

Alvar Aalto is one of the leading causes for the development of modern architecture in Finland. It differs from others in the artistic sense and in that fits to any location and environment. Its first decisive steps to implement their ideas Aalto made in 1927, when he was 29 years. He joined the modern architectural movement in the city of Turku, which is most open to new projects in the city of Finland. The project for building panel that the case presented in Aalto 70-th birthday of the city Turku is ideologically linked to experiments that make the other architects of that time, and is the first expression of modernist architecture in the Nordic countries. This was the period in which Aalto progressing increasingly avant-garde architecture and began to interact with leading innovators such as Fernand Leger, Brankuzi Constantine, George Braque and Alexander Calder. Aalto projects of this time are still strongly linked to general trends – this is the library Viipuri (1930), Sanatorium Paimio (1930) and his own house in Helsinki (1935). Aalto collect more creative energy and becoming less dependent on the schools, which are formed at that time. After World War II, he will again seek the sources of his inspiration this.
He began to draw increasing attention not only to the practicability of the buildings and their purpose to meet the basic needs of their occupants, and facilities in physical, mental, social and cultural aspects. It is important to mention the church in Malm (1951), in city hall Saynatsalo (1952), and the church Vuoksenniska in Imatra (1958). He drafts for public buildings such as the National Pensions Institute in Helsinki (1956) and cultural center in Helsinki (1956). His architectural projects that make an impression with primitivity, can be updated to fit better in your environment. Aalto often uses concrete, although it is considered “normal” material in conjunction with the tree, seen as a “noble”. In his work is primarily the architect its internal impulses, with a kind of structural philosophy, in which conventional and new weave. He is one of the first to give shape to the idea of “incidental relationship” in the creative impulses. Kink, raznostilieto, asymmetry in Aalto’s ideas are reflected in other articles which he makes as furniture, glasses, lamps, jewelry, clothes and paintings. Time seemed to pass through them, but they remain new.

We present another unusual architectural whimsy. This hotel is a spiral that has twisted and turned over a spacious park. Notably its highly unusual form, seems to be rotated before being baked or while he was still warm, cause it to become an attraction. Helix Hotel in Abu Dhabi has no floors, a spiral pitches form of a corkscrew without interruptions. This makes access to the swimming pool, sauna, massage rooms and meditation, the more easy. And then back in the bars and boutiques. One advantage of the hotel is that its hollow center allows it to be ventilated through the coastal breeze and illuminated by natural day light. Export of high energy plastic panels ensure the supply of solar and wind energy. Each of the 208-rooms, they have a different view, but many of them are suitable to watch the construction of the bridge “Sheikh Zayed” by Zaha Hadid. The design of the Hotel Helix is Leeser Architects, who won the contest organized by company Al Qudra Real Estate and QP International.

For some incarnations needed artistry and finesse. Many designers seek inspiration, regardless of the size of the project. Architects from Ashton Raggatt McDougal (ARM) are the creators of the artistic center Melbourne Recital Center Theater Company and Melbourne Theater Company next door. The aim is to restore ruined southern part of Melbourne, known as Southbank, and to catch the most dynamic neighborhoods of the city. ARM achieved such glorious success with design ideas that instantly receive medals Victorian Architecture Medal for 2009, which provides for the highest achievements in architecture and urban design for the exterior and interior. Too long-standing rivalry is the Melbourne and Sydney. Now they can compete and theater halls. ARM collaborates with Arup Acoustics in order to create space with 1000 seats and 150-seat hall. Amalgamation of modern architecture and acoustic qualities makes the room “Elizabeth Murdoch” in a challenge to the senses. Classical proportions of a shoe box are taken on loan from the European concert halls, and geometric shapes are intended as nearest to the stage from anywhere.
Prima facie evident that the visit of the theater company Melbourne Theater Company is also an exciting experience. The facade has a colorful steel pipes that are wrapped around it, particularly around the aluminum casing. There is summer theater, which has about 500 seats. Intentionally not made any balcony or mezzanine. For those who come here too often has been “World Wall, which were collected quotations from plays. Nice addition to the rehearsal hall, where they can be held and other social events. Enjoy also a bar and cafeteria. They will remind you that even though some of the city have declined and effort needed to be repaired, the desire is a sufficient answer, even when the economy is difficult.

Luxury Solar House in Iceland

Hof House, this is called passive house is situated 100 km from the Arctic Circle. Due to extreme climate is built on the principles of passive construction, geothermal heating and has solid concrete walls. The project used many local materials, including telegraph poles and basalt columns, and the grass of the green roof is one that has been removed in preparation for the terrain. Concrete walls are lined with cedar, so many years to withstand the vagaries of weather. Except that the roof is grassy, and attention is paid to the landscape. Compositions were created by peat and stones forming in the surrounding meadows approaches to the entrances and terraces. The paths are paved with slabs of hexagonal basalt columns excavated in preparing the groundwork. The same stone was used for the floors in the interior. A collected from nearby old telegraph poles are used to partition the sun and provide privacy. Some interior walls are purposely left without plaster and the ceiling, doors and other services are varnished oak and metal parts. In the kitchen and bathrooms are covered with marble, a closet with white tiles and is fitted with basalt shelves. The house is well insulated and has a constant microclimate through concrete walls, stone floors and a balanced seal. Geothermal water is used for both standard and floor heating, and for all household needs. Design is such that electricity needs are minimized, and the few important is obtained by water and geothermal sources. The house is oriented so that the interior is illuminated throughout the day. This happens not only through the windows, but through special holes in the roof. The exception is the corridor between the bedroom and living room. Orientation provides wonderful views of the role of the fjords. Overall, I think that passive houses are the houses of the future. I think you have to explore them in our soil. I know that they exist in Bulgaria, but surely share them hundreds or thousands of times smaller than necessary. There should be tax breaks and preferences in crediting such projects. Moreover, according to experts, the cost of design through construction, equipment and furniture to the service for 30 years are catching up with those of standard houses.
