Corporate America seeks to draw young workers who, rather than swinging hammers, wield mobile devices to generate ideas and produce results. Today’s college graduates have experienced an environment with more amenities than ever before, and with them comes new expectations about the workplace: “I’m going to work the way I want. I’m going to come up with an idea with my buddies at Starbucks and revolutionize the things.” This is the new and pervasive culture that is redefining corporate architecture.

There are myriad ways Building Teams are splashing colors onto façades, from shimmering iridescent coating to dichroic glass. The end result is a dynamic exterior that changes color at different times of day and at different angles, making each visitor’s approach a truly individual experience.

]]> Color trend in Building https://melisathassos.gr/en/portfolio/color-trend-in-building/ Thu, 22 Jun 2017 03:09:20 +0000 http://arden.local/?post_type=portfolio&p=3416 There are aspects of basic colors that are commonly known to be true. Combining blue with yellow creates green, for instance. Red means stop, green means go. The appearance of color itself to the human eye comes from the stimulation of cone cells, caused by visible light waves. But not everyone sees colors the same way. Color blindness is one example where people physically perceive and differentiate hues that may be completely unavailable to others. Psychologically, colors can elicit various emotions and affect behavior, to the point where fields of study have formed to analyze color preferences and associations. This is all in the pursuit of better understanding and, of course, persuading potential buyers of goods and services. Color trends even have a bearing on the moods and attitudes of society at the time. Historically, colors are tied to certain decades or years — the swinging 1960s saw bright and “psychedelic” hues come to the forefront, while the recession and environmental movement of the 1970s brought about muted, earthy tones. Pantone’s pick for 2017 Color of the Year, Greenery, is said to reflect the current cultural climate of minimalism, healthier lifestyles, and returning to the outdoors[1], a cultural trend that was widely seen in the U.S. National Park Service’s centennial celebration in 2016. .

]]> A museum workspace https://melisathassos.gr/en/portfolio/a-museum-workspace/ Thu, 01 Jun 2017 07:57:55 +0000 http://arden.local/?post_type=portfolio&p=3057 The best time to design a new workspace is obviously when a museum is planning for a new building because the spaces can be designed from scratch to the client’s exact specifications. This is what Jun is currently doing for the Museum of Boston; the museum itself will occupy the old Terminal Refrigeration and Warehouse Building, but the workspace will be located in a purpose-built addition to an adjacent building. The second-best time to design a new workspace is during a major building renovation, when staff would be displaced from their workspace anyway. In both cases, the museum should work with an architecture firm that has a deep understanding of both workspaces and museum operations so that they can program a space that fits the museum staff like a glove. .

In some cases the backdrop of natural features, such as mountains or a body of water, creates a contrast with the man-made elements of a city. In other cities it is the contour of the skyline that inspires awe. Many prominent skylines are largely monochromatic, with little use of colorful pattern. This architectural norm is slowly changing, however, as architects experiment with color for both entire exteriors and accents. Color is increasingly a tool that sets projects apart, helping to manifest a larger design vision.

]]> Guesthouse https://melisathassos.gr/en/portfolio/guesthouse/ Thu, 01 Jun 2017 07:53:58 +0000 http://arden.local/?post_type=portfolio&p=3050 There are a number of different architectural strategies quietly at work on the Emily guesthouse. The main house is designed to stay low to the ground, accentuating the long horizontal lines of the architecture and creating dramatic cantilevers where the grade drops off. Because the Guesthouse sits further up the hill on a steady slope, its pavilion-like design becomes the focal point of the interior court. A third structure, the less obvious hot tub shelter, is designed to blend in with the backdrop and open to the view. These three structures include four different roof assemblies, and while all of them are designed to appear as flat roofs, none of them are truly flat. Today’s post takes a closer look at the technical assemblies, some of the engineer, and the aesthetic considerations of these four roof types.

Geometry is the fundamental science of forms and their order. Geometric figures, forms and transformations build the material of architectural design. In the history of architecture geometric rules based on the ideas of proportions and symmetries formed fixed tools for architectural design. The relationship between geometry and architectural design are described.
