New Developments

The whole day I think about my theme. After Monday's meeting I know my theme could be stronger. I want to make a very chalenging project for this quarter. Therefore my thoughts going to a extreme excersise.

The statement Form Follows Function (FFF) inspired me a lot till this day. FFF is shaped in the beginning of the 20 st century. It was a principal of the modern architecture and industrial designing. Some great architects in that time were Louis Sullivan (America's First Modern Architect), Mies van der Rohe (Bauhaus Architect), Frank Lloyd Wright (America's Most Famous Architect), Walter Gropius (Founder of the Bauhaus), William Le Baron Jenney (Father of the American Skyscraper). Functionalism interest me also a lot, it is near bounded with the previous statement and the architects. Why al that fuss? People need a space to live, to work, to enjoy, to relax, to sport, to study and many many more! Maybey I fly of the handle, but I want to make clearly I want something to do with my short explanation.

Tuesday I read a article about lightpipes. They used it for underground buildings. My first main question was: How could we built underground buildings with a maximum of daylight? It was a daring item I think, but I want more. Now I want make a space that spring from a ideal daylight scenario. My next theme is: Form Follows Daylight (FFD). The reason for the switch is my interest in functionalism and it create a more challenging excersice for my project. Also I think it is more mixing with architecture. An undeveloped specialism by me is designing or architecture. So I want to do more with it.

By so far my new theme! I hope you understand it.. Critique and reviews are very welcome..
