Theoretical Context
The combination of mechanism and architecture has been widely used by designers these days, as mechanism focuses on the beauty of the nature of great machines, such as straight lines, right angles and grid patterns. By thinking of the use of machines in buildings, the very first thing to consider is about construction, later about all other aspects of the building. The mechanization of design concerns more on the problems of construction and stability into the plan of the building and its operation, since Galilean mechanics persists the concept of “many devices which succeed on a small scale do not work on a large scale”. But there are still some different considerations between mechanics and architecture, in mechanics, it is for a structure without collapsing and for less material, creates more usable spaces; in architecture, the designers concern more on how to find a plan which the maximum service can be achieved through the smallest number of people.
