Narrative

Since the social environment is changing through the time, the way of people think and live is changing at the same time, buildings must follow the step of the time. As the idea of mechanism gets into the designers’ minds, buildings become more and more machine-like with various forms and materials, this is an evolution from the past. The traditional ways of designing buildings seem to be antiquated and inefficient in the contemporary environment, buildings were in the similar shapes and materials with massive constructions but not enough useful space. Nowadays, designers consider how to plan the building which will maximise the service through the smallest number of people, and buildings have landscape as an accessorizing feature to gain an optimised picturesque quality. In my animation, I made how buildings change through the time, and then lead to the interior the building to show that interior planning is also an important design process of the building.

"Hypertextural Picturesque" and "Systemic Delay"

The two articles focus on the explanation of the evolvement of architecture and the way people think and live. The landscape in modernity has been figured as either supplemental or an accessorizing feature to the design of the building and detailed consideration becomes more important, which is different with those traditional ways of thinking, to gain the best “Hypertectual Picturesque”, details, materiality, spatial construction, natural, etc, these elements must be considered to satisfy the fast-pace change of the environment and the way people think. Since architecture involves both designer’s conceptual intention and actual material process, the previous ways of programme are not suitable and efficient in the current environment, contemporary design processes must be dynamic and fluid with more experimental methodologies to gain infinite creativity on the “Systemic Delay” between the initial concepts and its material forms.
