Landscape, as a Part of the Architectural Design
Landscape design shouldn’t be considered as an incidental, secondary element or not an ornamentation process coming after architectural design. If human hand interprets the nature by intervention or idea, landscape design has to be identified as the main part of architecture, supporting its main elements and requirements. The components of the design add value to the new architectural pattern. Trees have to fit to the architectural setup and their rank, size, shape, color and type add value to the new pattern. The structure constitutes very strong symbol by its composition with the nature. At the time, architecture becomes design, way of thinking in the nature.
Transfer of Knowledge and Experience in the Design
In a place where thousands of people walk around, if analyzing and practicing their daily needs lead employees and customers to feel satisfied because of user friendliness, the biggest award is to feel being invited by their smiling faces.
Rapidly Changing Needs and the Problem of Continuity in the Design Process
Needs, cities and people change. The structure which will remain stable is the one which answers the needs of the future and able to renew its functions.
If a structure cannot handle many functions, it is not a success but just a functional answer. Smart and visionary space design has to foresee the change of function and structure’s answer to the change. Even in ten or twenty years there will be new codes, needs and situations in the world. The design has to be fixed the principle steady needs. So that, replacing a stone became meaningless. If it happens, the entire idea setup and convenience will be broken. In case of change, structure’s new position and functional dimensions are already anticipated. The Wholesale Market’s fabric was designed to retain it functional in the future, when there won’t be need for a vehicle transfer system. When the gates are closed, completely new, huge shopping area purged from vehicles emerges.
If an architectural element cannot be cloned with its existence, advantages it serves to the future and center of attraction; the reason behind is the existence of creative thinking. Under the same functional importance and project location, similar structures can be built.
We heard news about projects of the municipality about extending the structure. Creativity is not sculptor’s ability to see a piece of art in a bulk. Creativity is found while working in rows, exploring the problem. The point when the design pass to creativity is the exploration of the problem. It is the root of creativity. If you cannot explore the problem, you cannot give the answer of an unknown question. Then it becomes mannerism.
In order to create a symphony, you have to be very experienced master conductor of an orchestra.
Architectural design means being a conductor of an orchestra. Thousands of small piece construct a unity. When the unity is established, the details have to be achievable, depending on real calculations. Details are not shining dreams. The choke of a drawn line on the realization stage refers to a fallacy of architectural design stage.
