Ornamental Geometry in Space

Besides the idea of linearity can translate into an ornamental space. First, it is important to understand the meaning of space and the interaction within a building. This book explains the relationship of ornamental interior and exterior spaces that evolve from geometric explorations and “its architectural effects” (7). By creating a volume or a space from the elements of linearity, this would not only evoke the idea of multidimensional perception, but at the same time it possess a direct correlation between form, “structure and surface of a building” (7). 

The Making of Design Principles

I've always been attracted to the images on this book. It describes conceptualization and abstraction as two different design approaches.

It also shows how ideas and thoughts are expressed through actual production, not only discursively.

I will be reading this book on my 18-hour flight to Japan in October !

SIN_TESIS | Federico Soriano

Here is the book that served as the inspiration for the title of my blog. At this moment I feel a strong connection with this title, since I don't have a thesis yet! But hopefully, after reading this book, my dilemma would magically disappear and the title of my blog will change.

This book is written by the spanish architect Federico Soriano, in which he refers to the concepts in architecture that appear by themselves just by looking at a building. In this book he refers to the necessity of designing, building breaking the boundaries of the following concepts:

sin escala = without scale

sin forma = without shape

sin peso = without weight

sin planta = without floorplan

sin detalle = without detail

sin gesto = without gesture

This is another book I'm planing to read on my way to Japan!

Pamphlet Architecture 27 | TOOLING

I will be hopefully using this book for my thesis, as a tool to combine the elements of Linearity and Repetition.
