Enhancing Creativity power in the course of Architecture

Enhancing Creativity and Imagination | Goal of an Architect

Art and Architecture

Art is a broad term for various creative activities coming into picture. Here are the major types of art forms:

  • Fine Art
  • Painting
  • Sculpture
  • ARCHITECTURE
  • Dance
  • Music
  • Puppet Shows

Architecture is a form of art. It is the art of designing spaces in which we live. It is not just limited to designing buildings but it has whole lot of other design factors and theories to be taken into consideration.

An Architectural designer is basically an artist endowed with the gift of creativity and imaginative genius. People could be imaginative and creative in different ways. It is not necessary that they have to become architects.

It is easy to define Architecture but the word has far deeper meaning than it implies. While you study Architecture, you get to study various fields of human endeavor, including Art, History, Material Science, Physics, Engineering… anything and everything that can help improve the living environment of human beings. It is the most diverse subject you can find. And yet, this field attracts the most creative and romantic minds in the world.

I have written this article so that Architecture students and Architects can share their views and opinions and their experience in the process of learning the art of Designing….In this article, I will talk about how our creative genius takes a downward trend when we reach a higher stage in our course…

In my previous article, I happened to mention how the creativity of Architecture students is impacted in a technical way.

“At the beginning of our course, we are not much aware of the conventional forms or logical design solutions. We are extremely creative when we are unaware of the actual process of transforming our project into reality but later on, as we progress with our course, we tend to restrict ourselves”.

This is a very interesting topic to discuss about. Readers out there, if you read this article, please do write about your own experiences so we could all get more of exposure to how people all around the world think and deal with it….

Guidelines to achieving success in Artistry / Architecture

6 steps towards achieving success in Artistry/Architecture

Architecture is a form of Art. Architects are artists too. And it is very important for an Architect/Artist to figure out the steps that they would have to follow to be successful.

In this worldly business, there are other important things that count if a person wants to be successful.

I am making it easier for everyone to understand the steps to be taken to achieve success. Here are few simple points to be kept in mind and followed when getting into professional practice.

Point One

It is essential to develop good communication links between the artist and client and artist and public. The strength of these relationships can often determine the ultimate success or failure of a project. It should be remembered that the collaborative process is complicated with a multi-headed client.

Importance of Landscape Architecture

Landscape Architecture

When an architect or a town planner plans, he is in actuality, intervening with ‘living system’. The intervention can be disastrous if insufficient thought is given to the effects of development, especially its long-term consequences on the environment. The blend between man and nature will not be harmonius, but there will be imbalance or contradiction instead. In the long-run the total environment is bound to deteriorate. This is what ecology is all about- the inter-relationship between living and non-living things and their habitat.

Effects of Corporate Culture on Architectural Experimentation

I was wondering how Corporate culture affects experimentation and innovation in an Architectural Design studio…

These days, there are but few high profile architects who are known worldwide for their designs. Nowadays, Architects rarely work solo on major projects. More often than not, there is a group of Architects working for a consortium or a corporation that bags major projects. There are large corporations built around the business of architecture. So, an iconic & monumental project is seldom credited to the creativity of one architect. Rather, it is the credit of the corporation. The honour is distributed to the entire team. Its not like old times anymore when a building would represent the character of an architect…
