Breaking Rules (part 2)

     Greetings my dear fellow! It's an early post because I know you all have been excited and wondering what the next week topic will be (or is it just my imagination), but anyway the topic will be continuing from weeks ago and that is.......(well it is clearly stated in the title so just cut off the chitchat). The only different is this week I will discuss any breaking-rules-artist from outside of my major, which is interior, if you guys haven't know. But, before that I am going to brag (again) about the well made mind map my group and I have made. The topic is "Pursuit of Unhappiness" and this is the finalized one if you have not seen it in my previous blog.


Then, I recreated the mind map using iMindMap HD (the free one) and found out that it is quite easy and comfortable to use. The diagram were easily moved around to fill the space and the line length can be easily adjust. There are some choices of line too, although it is very limited in the free app one. However I managed to make one and it looks something like this.


I can't help to add a few branches more, but it is really a drawback in e-mind map for not having pictures in it. If only we could do some doodle, or at least insert pictures in it, I would be so much fun. But having e-mind map is neater in some way, even if it is *quoting from my teacher* lack of personal touch. Anyway, moving on to the breaking rules part two!! Here comes the mind blowing designs...




The first building is Tokyo Big Sight or Tokyo International Exhibition Center. It is designed by Tokyo Metropolitan Governor. While the second picture of the building is Slovak Radio Building. It was designed by Stephen Svetko, Stephen Ďurkovič and Barnabas Kissling. Both of the building have the same concept of inverted pyramid, which is very unusual and rules breaking. We all know that pyramid is a very stable form (that's why pyramids in Egypt could last so long) however, these designers chose to turn it up side down and make it very unstable. Well, it still stands anyway, so, no worry!



This is the famous rotating building designed by an Italian architect, David Fisher. The idea is very intriguing yet eye opening that a building is not always has to be standing still like what we usually had, especially not in the advanced technology era like right now.



The picture above is an entertainment center focused on science exhibition in United States. Designed by Terry Nicholson, the building were purposely designed upside down and looked like it was just hit by a storm. The idea is very practical and fun to see, isn't it? ;)


The other bizarre house located in Texas, called the hole house. It is not really a house, but only a limited time art. Designed and created by Dan Haven and Dean Ruck as their "Inversion" project before it was demolished. It brings quite a sensation, however.






The last but not least, well it's not the last obviously because there are still so many unique building, however this is the last from the few I presented. The house called Nautilus House because of its design that follows seashell. It is designed by Javier Senosiain. The concept is interesting and the realization is amazing. I can't help to post the interior as well, because architecture cannot really be parted with its interior right?

I think all the picture I have posted have broken the unspoken rule in architectural because it is so unusual yet attractive in some ways many people have never imagine. And, that is all people! Have  a nice weekend! ;)
