Architectural thoughts

Wednesday, October 18, 2006

Things seem to making sense now.
And the context to which i should be exploring between richard meiers and le cobusiers villa savoye is their verticle movements in the houses.not forgetting the experiential qualities that a person will feel as he enters the house and moves about in it vertically. as well as the exploration of the extensive use o pilotes in the douglas house.

but, i need to make alot of references to his book on towards new architecture and draw out ideas which are similar to richard meiers.

and at the same time, i would like to discover the influence that richard meier has from corbusier not in terms of copying blindly becase both of them are intellual beings who do not simply copy forms and ideas without logical reasoning.

i am sure that richard meier's work has been influenced greatly by the 5 points of arhitecture and i feel that he has used them and interpreted them in his way, and made it part of him yet not a copy of corbu.

so there is individual style yet there is a logic behind that style.
which is why richard meiers is so respected.not just the superficial similarity but.
i hope that through thorough examination of his floor plans i would be able to realise richard meier's expression of his architectural ideas and how they point back to corbusier's influence on him..

and i hope to draw concrete links not merely superficial ones.

and i believe there is potential in this arena of argument.
