Architecture across realities

Inspired by architecture, interior designers and almost every other field of design utilizes architecture as a means for fresh ideas, new insights into design and even pushes one internally to think and challenge the constraints seen everyday... Architecture is a main component toward design and looking back at the great artists of our past such as- my favourites: Victor Horta, Hector Guimard, and others such as FLW, Le Corb, Eames... etc.
I do agree that no one can design new and inventive things until the past is explored and used as a continuous thread in ones new design, this also can be true of architecture that has been computer generated... As a designer, obviously, I am so inspired by architecture in the real world, but also in the alternate worlds that movies project and create... there the possibilities of endless manipulation, creativity and abstraction are possible- architecture at in its rawest, most creative form...
Two recent movies that inspired me immensely, were Alice in Wonderland... and Tinkerbell... These two movies were so inspiring and i just wanted to share this with you- i realize its unconventional to love anime when your older- but who says you cant!? ;)
Alice in Wonderland- the Red Queen's Castle

Tinkerbell's house... so cute...

This link between the imagined architecture and the architecture that is plausible in todays world is slowly merging. Thanks to material use, and the technology available... thus the imaginary becomes imaginable... A goal that is a constant drive is to become animated within a framework, crazy while still sane and childishly naive to the restrictions whilst maintaining the basics of functionality...

  1. What?! Loving anime when you're ani age is awesome. :) Did you go see Alice? I heard it was meh... you would LOVE "How to train your dragon" - not for the imagery, but just for a good laugh. Love you sisi
