An Architecture of The 7 senses

The article is saying about the human senses due to architecture experience by using hear, see, smell, touch and feel.I do believe that most of the building have provide most of them to us and we can feel that.All of the building do brings visual feel to people like hows they mixed the building to the enviroment,sometimes landscape can also brings a different feeling to us due to the architect design,its a visual strategy used on building.The enviroment surround the building provide the feels to people,different enviroment provide different feeling to people.Like the building in the forest and the building in the urban city,both of them create different feeling to people.
And the Material of the building is also a important rule for people to experience the sense.Material have their own texture and the building itself is a structure so that it is easy for us by using our skin to feel it.
For me,i think the enviroment is the most important thing to the building,we can even smell the building through the enviroment,we can having fresh air in the forest but not in the city.

I think the Falling water by frank lloyld wright is well presented all of the experience of senses in architecture.The building is located in a forest which is fullfill with green enviroment.And the architect using a very good strategy like the way he fit the building on it but no demolish the area and its create a better view to us because from the view we can dicrect see through the soul of the building and the forest,its also show the contrast between the building and the enviroment.You can even feel the nature when u are inside the building,the material cheoosing is using the local material which is just taking from the site and the texture on the material brings a strong feeling to people as well.Its is different with those man-made material.Thats the way the architect combine the building with the nature.Because the forest is a very quiet place so u can heard the nature at here,the flow of river,the air movement,the voice from animals.

All of the senses are not hard to apply in a building once u wide used the enviroment and taking benefits on it.A good design that filled with a better site context can brings a great feeling to people.As a basic conclusion here,the word ''enviroment'' is very important to a building,depend on hows the designer gonna used it.

Monuments, Testimony & Memory

''Tugu Negara"the national monument which is a great bronze sculpture erected to commemorate the soldiers who gave up their lives in the triumph during World War II and the Emergency (1948-60).The seven men from the Malaysian Armed Forces holding the national flag, each symbolising one of seven qualities: leadership, unity, strength, vigilance, suffering, courage and sacrifice.It is one of the largest freestanding sculptures in the world. In honour of the nation's heroes.
Beside the National Monument are the ASEAN Gardens.Waterscape and landscape combined harmoniously in this garden located just below the National Monument. It looks like one of the favourite spot of Malaysian to get away from the busy centre.Althought the monument is not a architecture but it is a combination of art and history,shows the malaysian patriotism in easy and simple way.(http://www.cuti.com.my/Sub/Kl/guide_kuala_lumpur_natnat...)

The jewish Museum,Germany.The building covers 2 german jewish hisrory and its is a combination of old and new,it consist 2 building.The new part of building is designed by architect Daniel Libeskind. For me,it is a decon and modern style building,no matter the shape and form,it is very intresting.For the facade of the building,it brings a strong feel to people due to the material they used and those line on the facade make the building feel mysterious because of the narrow opening of the buiding(the lines on the facade represent as the opening),make people feel like go inside and explore the whole building. The interior of the building is very depth inside guides by the natural light,the light was imported to the interior through the narow opening,there is also some daylight import from the roof top. just like Tadao Ando style,the way hows he import day light into the building. The architect done a great job on the building because when people see through the building it reminds people alot of things,i mean the history.
It is hard to find those thing in Malaysia.Malaysia building are lack of art and abstract concept.We have great architect as well but why we dunt try to do it,just apply some on the culture and historical side,make it a masterpiece.Lets mix the art with the cities. Malayisa Architecture building are too limited ady,i can say that most of the building basic form is square.I thk it is limited by the UBBL rules and some old thinking mayb,i thk that the different with other country.Just take the jewish meuseum as example,a zic-zac shape of building is just sit on the city.Do u think that Malaysia goverment will approved that?

Lets talks about our national meuseum.It is easy to see what different between the two meuseum rite.There is no any artistic design can be found at our national meuseum.The facade is nothing special and there is alot of local building using almost the same facade,0.0''...i does't means that no good but there is still some place can have a little bit changing rite?
Muzium Negara is a palatial structure built in the style of Rumah Gadang, an aspect of Minangkabau architecture. Its facade comprises elements of traditional Malay and modern features. ya,i thk thats the good way to telling people about the history, culture and traditions of malaysia But it is just direct translating from the building.how bout adding some artistic elements?Make it different with those local building.From here we can see that Malaysia(i mean at architecture thinking)is still a conservative country.Is time to tell them to try the new things ady.

But, when u talk about the musuems, monuments, statues. I think malaysia did a good job by how we presenting our heros and the way we pass through the culture and history to our next generation.

Remembering the Home

In my life time,i had been stay in two different type of house,bungalow and semi-d.i moving into a semi-d since 1995.Both of them are in a same form which is a square and symmetry.

My dad is a contractor and he built up our home now.Not design from any Architect.Because lack of the knowledge of architecture,my dad din do any site analysis before build up the form and it doesn't match with the environment.The whole building is just paste on a piece of land,a huge land.The building is created by concrete brick which brings heavy and stable to people.My dad also create a huge compound surrounding the building and its expose under the sunlight.(it is too bad that wasting a large space)The plan of the building is square in form and separate it into space.The living room is the largest space for my house,its a hierarchy of the building,that's good because living room is also a gathering area.Behind the living room is a courtyard but because adding members to the family my dad transform the courtyard into a room.

The building provide a better ventilation and natural light,it an open space from living room to the kitchen,And there is a huge opening provided at the living room and kitchen so that daylight and air can passing through the whole building.I think this is the best part for my house.i mean in architecture view,it shows energy effiency.If i got the chance to become an Architect,i will do renovation on my house,using the concept of sustainable change it into a low energy house,of course i wil adding vegetations at the huge compound.

I believe that the place people growing up will influences a persons consciousness and design thinking.I m try to make my house to become a better building and i am moving foword on it.
