RIBA 2022 London Awards Winners: my opinion on a few (Part 2)
Continuing on for my post yesterday, these are my final 2 and my opinions on them.
Kiln Place by Peter Barber Architects
This is a cooperative housing scheme in the London Borough of Wandsworth. This housing scheme is stunning and actually looks very inviting as well as modern. I think it's a great housing scheme and is very impressive. Things I like about the design: I really like the use of basements to create access to outdoor areas for people to use. I also think the aesthetics of are beautiful and compliment the surroundings. I think the way they are layered and put together almost blocks put on top of each other is great design. I think the balconies as well that are on the build is really interesting. The use of glass inside and on the exterior makes it feels spacious and bright. The contractor's were able to vary the interiors to what the client wanted which allows each one to have it's own specific finish to it. I think the landscaping is also a very well finished and brings the outside into the house with the use of the sliding doors to create a large area for entertaining.
House in Primrose Hill by Jamie Fobert Architects Limited
This something slightly different to what I have looked at before this house in Primrose Hill is stunning but is an extension that creates amazing light and shadows. I think the house is just beautiful and shows some of the things that you can do to preserve an amazing building. I think it's incredibly successful in creating amazing architecture and a clean link bet ween both the old and the new. I believe the use of concrete to create the new area is very interesting and gives contrast to the building. The building has custom designed lights for the kitchen and the pool has amazing light and shadow. It creates the most amazing colours and atmosphere for a lazy day in. The use of the skylight also allows for the atmosphere to change daily which makes it really interesting and exciting. My overall opinion is that the aesthetics makes this building as well as the use of light and shadows so I think this is my favourite one on the list this year.
Climate change and architecture Architecture has a huge role in the future of climate change. I believe it is imperative that we start to make a difference now. The climate is worsening at a rapid rate and it is scary how quick it is changing. The future is partially in the hands of architects. The use of new technology and old can make a drastic change. I think the future of the climate technology is huge and there's huge opportunity for the architecture profession to use it. One of my favourite pieces of technology that I would be looking forward to using is the tesla solar tile. It is a solar tile which looks like normal roofing tiles. I believe it's an ingenious way to create a slick aesthetic for the roof instead of having ugly solar panels. I think other ways architecture can make a change is to use low carbon materials such as steel, but also using concrete which reuses aggregate. The development of materials so they have no embodied carbon. There has been...
Architecture of Ancient Greece and Rome W elcome to the first post of my blog for my BA1 Artefact 2. I was interested by the choice of a blog by my lecturer Roger Tyrell, but through research and reading previous students blogs I can see how it is a great way to assess. Week 6 My Initial Thoughts/Knowledge A s the title states this week the lectures were on the Architecture from the people of ancient Greece and ancient Rome. This is one of the most well-known times in Architectural History. The effects of the Roman and Greek empires can be seen around the world today, especially in Great Britain. The Roman Empire spread to Britain in AD 43 under Emperor Claudius. This was the start of a huge campaign that ended in AD 84 with control of Britain. The Roman culture came with this crusade, bringing with it the architecture of the Roman's. Many of the ideas can be seen today up and down Britain, examples being the Roman Baths, Bath, Hadrian's Wall, between England and Scotland, ...
Gender and Identity: Does space have gender or sexual identity. This weeks lecture was from Phevos Kallitis on gender and identity. This is a topic that I don't have the understanding I would like to have. I grew up in a Christian home where the bible teaches Man and Woman. As well as teaching on gender it also teaches on sexuality. I find the idea of there being more than one gender hard to get my head around having always been around people who would say they were either man or woman. However I have more understanding on sexuality as I know many more people who choose to identify as a different sexuality. I found the tea break very interesting especially the stuff about gender. I think from the tea break though I found the development of how kitchen's were designed in a time when the view was women should be working in the kitchen and stay at home. However I think we should have looked less at the past and more how can we change it in the future. Spaces need to change to be ...
