Nasr Chamma | Identity by Architecture

It has always been about the construction materials and the way it influenced our architectural history with its radical changes, from the first moment of existence till now, and how architects were controlling the properties and characteristic of materials, not to mention creating various tools and techniques.
How were they creating a new logic of construction and housing strategies? And how some architects transformed it to international human modules?
What’s going to be the new modular in future? And how would it be and based on which parameters?

Societies over a tree, inside a cave and at an endless city, from 23,002,013 years till now we’re trying to write by Arts and Architecture, trying to build a memory, have an identity to stay in mind and history, all civilizations have created landmarks to prove their greatness, power to every passing by citizen in every area on this planet, but what’s next?
What’s going to be the future modular that satisfies humanity, human needs and enough equivalence to change reality and be an archive for the past, an identity for present and a vision of future?

Art and Architecture: their link through the years

ALEJANDRA DIAZ DE LEON — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 15:51:07 +0000

In the past, there was no separation between art and architecture. It was unthinkable, in former times, to construct a major building without including art as an integral component. This was true until fairly recently. Then, with the advent of the “international style” in architecture and the simultaneous adoption of avant garde styles of art which mystified (and repulsed) the majority of potential viewers, the link was broken.

Architects were encouraged to exalt their efforts over those of other artists, stripping away everything that was not necessary for the building to function. Architects seem to have been schooled in a rigidly puritanical abhorrence of art, where it would interfere with the perception of their building’s form as function. “Less is more” is still their mantra, and so, predictably, they give us more and more of less and less. The sorry sterile state of the built environment in our newer urban centers is the result.

Now it is the turn of the architects to wither away. Soon computers will be able to accomplish the few architectural functions they have not already mastered, and architects will find themselves as marginalized as artists have now become; unless and until they rediscover the artistic roots of their profession.
