Architecture

<p>What if you are asked to describe the taste of a Doughnut Burger…? Confused right. How can one describe the taste of Umami, which is both savory and sweet? Describing the life of an architecture student is just like that. One just runs out of words. The life of an architecture student is as they say <em>larger than life</em>, literally. Still on a broader level below are summed up, the plethora of things that an architecture student goes through.</p>
<h2><strong>CLASSROOM AS DESIGN STUDIO</strong></h2>
<p>First, the good part. Design studio of architecture students or their “Classrooms” give a tinge of Alice of Wonderland in the beginning. A land of fantasy for students of other streams. A large drafting table wholly for oneself with the supporting spaces for stationaries, fascinating ambiance of <em>starchitects </em>pictures with their works and the flexibility unlike our engineering counterparts where you can eat talk and sometimes even sleep in the studios is something that gives others a bit of complex. It’s not just a studio, it’s our second home.</p>

<h2><strong>ARCHITECTURE STUDENT- STUDY TRIPS</strong></h2>
<p>Now the best part. Whether it’s the site visit for building construction or the visiting the old mausoleum of the town for measured drawing, college trips are an integral part of any college going person in general but when I say its architecture student’s trip, it is on another level. Unraveling unknown destinations and different regions with their food, their cultures is a feeling one cannot explain in words. Travel is in the genes of any architecture student and trusts me no other profession celebrates travel like architecture. And if you are an architecture student you are lucky to have this pro.</p>

<h2><strong>ALL NIGHTERS</strong></h2>
<p>And now the worst part, the workload. Pursuing a degree in architecture is quite a challenge. The course demands us to work supremely hard against time, literally. The one thing common in all architecture students is that the shortage of time that we face compared to the amount of work to be done is that we end up compromising on our sleep and end up staying up all night to get the work done. This is a trait which is quite common for all architecture students and even in architects.</p>

<h2><strong>STATIONARY</strong></h2>
<p>Have you ever had your seven-year-old nephew picking up your T-scale and exclaiming “wow, what a sword!” Maybe it's just me. But I am sure similar amusements must have been with you when it comes to our stationaries, at least until we are accustomed to the computer-based software and use them for the design. Whether it’s the expensive color pencils that itch our pockets or the laser cutting we do for the model making, we cannot deny the awesome sensation of working with the so-called “tools”.</p>

<h2><strong>BEING SOCIAL</strong></h2>
<p>Juggling with the historical sketches to the estimation calculations, from drafting building construction sheets to making presentations, an architecture student has to cope with almost all the aspects of a building. Given the strict deadlines, it is quite painful for us to invest time and energy in non-academic activities like an outing in the weekend or attending the wedding of the long lost cousin. We often have to bear the brunt of being a bit anti-social on a personal account but on a professional front, we are supposed to make as many contacts as possible, an important trait for our profession.</p>

<h2><strong>ALL-ROUNDERS</strong></h2>
<p>Well, the construction industry is quite huge and complicated and to hone oneself to become a good architect, architecture students are groomed in every subject directly or indirectly related to the industry. Whether it’s the communication skills to woo the clients or the studying sustainable technology to enhance our buildings. From micro level town planning to the macro level furniture design elective, architecture students are taught almost every subject related to the profession.</p>

The Life Of An Architecture's Student

<p>Renouned architect<strong> Frank Gehry</strong> rightly puts in his words which we all truly secretly believe- <strong>“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness”</strong>.The architecture speaks of its times, the culture, and the values and somehow becomes the identity of the era. Since inception of mankind, everything including the very human skin has evolved and architecture is no exception. With time Architecture has been conceived by necessity, shaped by vision, glorified by pride and celebrated by heritage. If a kid born in the present generation does not pay a visit to monuments built centuries ago or is not given history assignments, it will hard for him to believe that an arch was actually niched out of stone wall that the pyramid boxes he plays with are actually full-fledged structure in Egypt. That is the power of Transformation and drawing parallel between the ancient and the modern is quite a task.<br>Speaking objectively the ancient architecture and modern architecture are poles apart like night and day with time being the horizon only chord connecting the two. We can’t literally differentiate the two because the latter is a derivation of the former catalyzed by advancement, need and of course by the Architects themselves. So here are a few contrasts that will point out the Stark difference between the ancient and the modern architecture.</p>
<h2>USE OF MATERIALS</h2>
<p>One of the most visible difference between the ancient buildings and the modern ones is the use of materials. In the older times, stone and its derivatives were the basic or should I say the only material used. Whether it’s the churches of medieval Europe or the Mosques in South East Asia, one cannot imagine these structures without stone. On the other hand the modern buildings, especially the high rise ones cannot be imagined without a glass façade. A first level study of all modern buildings would reveal that role of stone is limited to that of aesthetics. All thanks to the advancement in technology that we now have a plethora of options to choose depending on the various criteria that determine as to which material to use.</p>

<h2>GENRE</h2>
<p>If one is to gauge how important architecture has become in our lives we need to stop for a second and look back at the typology of the buildings in which the people invested in before and now. Back in the ancient times only religious structures like churches, temples or at  the most palaces that people invested in at least in terms of architect .As a result the ancient architecture was ornamental in nature. It was important to veil the skeleton of the building with pilasters, carvings, paintings etc. While the modern architecture is nothing but quite brutalize in nature. The sharp form of buildings, minimal facades reflects the era in which we live in.</p>
<h2>HORIZONTAL VS. VERTICAL</h2>
<p>Visuals of the plans of ancient structures and the modern indicate one strong environmental aspect of the society lack of space. Ancient structures were planned very splendidly, spreading horizontally to unfathomable distances, literally. As a result the buildings were spread out. Unfortunately the architects today have been denied this privilege due to the shortage of spaces. They overcome the challenges with a more compact plan and moving the spaces vertically. This scaled up the trends of High rise buildings comings with its pros and cons which is a different debate altogether.</p>

<h2>REGIONAL TO GLOBAL</h2>
<p>Bluntly compare two pictures below. If I ask you what these buildings, you would smoothly say that the one on the left is a church but the one the right is…..!!You need to brainstorm a little isn’t it? Let me tell inform you that it is a church as well. The difference is that the former is an ancient church which has its traditional longitudinal form decked with arches, bell tower etc. while the one on the right is a modern church. With the evolution in architecture the buildings today break away from the rigidity of traditions and is more experimental in nature. You cannot really tell whether the structure is church, a museum, a theatre or building of national importance. The designs have become, let’s say, universal. No wonder, an architect from London can actually design a building in India inspite of the cultural differences between the two regions because the difference is not reflected in the architecture today.</p>

<p>If we dig deeper into the analysis of this change in architectural phenomenon from Ancient to Modern, we realize it’s the change in human society which has directly or indirectly caused the transformation. It is not really a Change but rather shift in the perspective in human needs. The construction of Forts and palaces stopped with the world abolishing the ancient system of monarchy and adopting other formats of governments. The advancement of engineering and the invention of concrete accelerated the changes to a large extent. We can’t call it a change but rather a dimension of the process of evolution. With the rate at which we are progressing in all aspects of life, this gap between the ancient and the modern shall broaden and the results may or may not be catastrophic.</p>

How different is Ancient and Modern Architecture

<p>In this technology driven age that we exist in, it is but natural to question the role of perspective drawing in the architectural profession. All architects transportate back and forth between three-dimensional virtual reality and actual physical reality, several times, in the time span of a single work day. The architectural studio and workspace is slowly seeing a tip towards virtual modeling over physical modeling. With constant innovation and re- innovation, the virtual modeling industry is solidifying its grasp on the architectural modeling market, every second of every day. Such a scenario calls for stocktaking and re- evaluating the importance of perspective in the architectural profession today. Let us now take a closer look at the scope of the role played by a perspective drawing in the profession in present day and age.</p>
<h2><strong>PERSPECTIVE TO CONCEPTUALIZE</strong></h2>
<p>Conceptualizing is the foremost process in designing a space. For most architects, conceptualizing means a rather quick paced brainstorming session, which manifested into physical concepts in the form of quick, rough perspective sketches. Architects mostly choose perspective as a tool for conceptualization over 3- D modeling, rough perspectives are quick and easier to make than most models produced via modeling softwares. Not only this, conceptualization level perspective sketches are low maintenance. They require a basic medium like ink and paper; meanwhile, a laptop, table, software, socket and much more forms the basic requirement of a 3-D model. Not only this, conceptualization is supposed to be an extremely creative process for the architect, it is when the architect’s creativity is at its peak and most architects still believe sketching to be a more natural and organic way of harnessing their creative thoughts. Thus perspective is a more preferred tool for conceptualization even today.</p>

<h2><strong>PERSPECTIVE TO VISUALIZE AND PROTOTYPE</strong></h2>
<p>The visualizing process in architecture, especially in the office studios, appears to be dominated by technology, more often than not. The final end product models, shown to clients are mostly virtual three-dimensional model renders. This somewhat gives rise to the illusion of perspective as a tool of visualization to have become extinct. What most nondesigners and architects do not know is that, architecture is a team sport. An individual is mostly never single-handedly responsible for the complete execution of a project. In bigger scale projects many teams come together to execute a whole project. Now here comes the main use of perspective drawings, communication. How does the design communicate with the virtual modeling team on what has to be modeled? The answer is quick perspective sketches. It is via these sketches that the final renders are produced, which are often posted on websites and showcased to clients. Also, many architects feel that directly sitting down on a software and developing concepts into visuals often leads to repetition of previous ideas and elements due to the monotony of the software program. Thus, perspective is an essential tool used in the visualization process for both communication and design.</p>

<h2><strong>PERSPECTIVE IN PRESENTATIONS, SALES AND MARKETING</strong></h2>
<p>Perspectives are still an extremely crucial part of all architectural presentations, client, public or otherwise. The reason is fairly simple, why is a cow on every Britannia cheese packaging? The answer is authenticity. Just like a cow provides a proof of the authenticity of a cheese brand, similarly, perspective drawings act as a proof of the authenticity of an architecture studio. It proves that the architect is a good old team leader and falls among the likes of men like Brunelleschi, who along with being master builders were also master artists and visionaries. It proves that even though the architect stands from the future it takes from the past and moves forward. Who wouldn’t put their trust in an architect like that? Thus, making perspective an important part of sales and marketing for any architecture firm.</p>

<h2><strong>PERSPECTIVE TO COMMUNICATE</strong></h2>
<p>Even though a set of working drawings is supposed to be the bible for any construction site, often contractors, especially on smaller projects, are not experienced enough and need to further be explained the tasks to be performed on site. Perspective sketches, come extremely handy in such particular instances. It is so because they give the contractor a clear understanding of depth and ratio and scale. A realistic perspective of the space is often a must, to explain to the contractor or labourer. Manier times on the site, the architect has to sketch out a perspective of a certain detail for a vendor or to explain to a mason. Thus in such cases, it is a must for an architect to have a steady foundation in perspective drawing to establish his authority. Thus, making perspective an important tool for clear communication both on site and off site.</p>
<img src="https://planndesign.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/2017/10/1200px-Staircase_perspective.jpg" alt="The Role Of Perspective In Architecture" style="height: undefined;width: undefined">
<p>It is clear from all the above that even in the current times, perspective drawing has its own functionality and use. Perspectives are an irreplaceable and frequently used tool for communication by all architects. They use it to communicate with clients, draftsmen, contractors and more. Even in this world of high-speed softwares and technology, perspective drawing still stands strong. It is a craft that has not become redundant in over many centuries and is here to stay for much more.</p>
