Natural Architecture

Who else thinks that architecture can be anywhere that one goes? It's everywhere! And sometimes, people relate the word "architecture" to huge edifices and nice residences, but they forget that details in our world, such as landscaping, might also fit into architecture. Two entries ago, I mentioned the term "organic architecture", now, let's present the extreme action of this last one with the following designs:

"Fallingwater" by Frank Lloyd Wright

"Organic Highway" by Mikael Hansen

"La Tonelle" by Gilles Bruni and Marc Babarit

Yes! Organic architecture is the friendly relationship that architecture followed by construction can have with nature, and is highly recommended for the preservation of natural locations and resources in our world. 

Spa Jardon and the importance of public places' environment

The design of an interior is, literally, the representation of the place. Interior Design is a useful area when talking about public places, because, believe it or not, it is important to the customer and/or the visitor to feel comfortable wherever he/she is at the moment, and a public place, like in this occasion we present the rendering of a spa, asks for that feeling of relaxation around a beautiful and adequate environment for its location and purpose.

The Serrano Residence and the contemporary style

When we talk about Frank Lloyd Wright's ways, the most probable feature that comes to our minds is, definitely, the contemporary style. The details that define the purity of the contemporary can get to be some of the characteristics that are also here to define modernism and organic architecture, which is best known from Wright's work. The truth is that a single building is able to demonstrate a modernist, contemporary and organic environment, since the three of them guide themselves to each other; in other words, there are cases that to present an organic structure, you have to fabricate the 'modernist' part of it first, for example: if you try to compare the three different styles, you will see that a common feature between them are the horizontal lines and movement, and that's probably the most important and distinguished characteristic in those three types of architecture, as well.

The Serrano Residence is found at Real Del Mar, in Tijuana, Mexico, and it is, indeed, the perfect example of both, contemporary and organic architecture, which at the end, it's related to a very modern kind of art that promotes all the needed harmony between the human habitation and the natural world.
