Warmth in Architecture: Humanity
Thoughts on the theme
Architecture is about creating space for human beings. The efforts self-evident and no one would doubt would raise a question on its endeavors. But modern architecture is engrossed in its functionality; presenting all its aspects it further gives way to amazing forms and efficiency in lieu of fundamental architectural value. Therefore, criterion for judgement for its success and failure relies on data and eye-opening exterior forms. Architecture slowly become a machine which has no warmth and introspection. No, rather it strives to resemble a machine.
Breakthroughs in modern technologies in architecture boast itself and claims that nothing is impossible. At the present, efforts requires lots of man power; however, in the past it can be finished with ease.
Now man believes in programs and machines rather than human beings. Everything can be converted into numbers. As a result, everyone come to expect more precise numerical final results. Modern architecture started out addressing social concerns and other significant issues of the period. However, as time passed the issues of social concerns diminished. In its place ubiquity and universality emerged as prevailing inclination.
Gratified with the advancements in science and technology, society slowly disregarded the significance of human being.
Accordingly, human beings are gradually alienated and cities have become drier. Most architect believes good proportion which is the basic of the architecture, which can be achieved through mathematical calculations. But, will it be true? Is the elegant proportions of the Parthenon achieved only through mathematical talent of the Greeks?
If we state that everything comes from the hands, eyes, and keen sense from the master craftsman who have trained for an extensive period of time, it’s now obsolete.
What do we have to revive at the present? What is the most important value we must bring forth to the center? Instead of the unique building forms, materials, and spaces; what values should architecture embrace once more?
"The 33rd Space Prize for International Students of Architectural Design" wants to raise and ask the fundamental and past values towards Architecture and society.
Project Assignment
The most important substance of architecture are thoughts and time; and idea of the human being, the main user, and a sign of the time that humans make in life. The architecture which is governed by efficiency and ruled by economic value may beyond human scale and amazing, it cannot give human a convenience and comfort.
It is true especially in residential space where human reside.
This matters occurs in multifamily housing complex which is an alternate solution to over populated cities. Those are constructed to meet the need of modern life style, but it is designed and constructed to meet the provider side's requirement and it creates dried environments continuously. For this environments, the residents shall adapt their body to this space.
This communal residences filled with anonymity and there is no individuality, but only uniformity exist. There are townhouse, oneroom type collective house, share house, various residential types are created , but as efficiency of maintenance, economic value, convenience come first that consideration on human being is always short.
Architecture, especially residence shall be a fundamentally a place for humanity, a place for rest,
We define that is "Warmth of Architecture" and expect a fresh proposition of New type of Collective Housing.
