Daniel Libeskind's 17 words of architectural inspiration

Daniel Libeskind is an architect who was inspired by everything around him. Architecture is an inspiration and wonder, it is not a concrete or any other building materials. Architecture is a story that inspires everyone who can see the beauty of it. He has 17 words of architectural inspiration and they are namely, communicative, optimism, hand, inexplicable, expressive, space, real, democratic, pointed, emotional, complex, political, radical, unexpected, risky, memorable and raw. To summarize these seventeen inspirations, let’s just talk where it did come from. Daniel Libeskind is an architect who normally work outside an office and talk to his client personally. Through this process of his work, he can personally every single idea that need suppose to know in his client. By his own style of communicating to his client, the 17 words of architectural inspiration can now be seen. By just looking to the eyes of his client, these inspirations will just come out and be a wonder of architecture.

As he collects the idea of his client, he form structure by using every single idea he gets.

Before we go further, I have to say that I agree with his statement that architecture came from emotion because it is somehow the same with my manifesto of architecture. We have the same explanation why architecture was built by emotions. Emotions are deep feelings of your client that are hidden physically but mentally it is not.

We can say that emotions are too sad to be a wonder but there are architect in this world that can transform every single emotion into a beauty and design. The architect can get an idea through that emotion by having a design that will hold the emotion of your own client.

I also have to agree that architecture is a language. Architecture is a language of voice and not a word that is written because your structure will speak for you. Your design will show your client the process on how you come up with it. The language that you put on it and also the language that just got out on your mouth. Your structure will speak loud and clear to the audience that will see your design. It will automatically and emotionally speak for you, on how you came up with every single idea and what are the experiences that you face on just to come up with that design yours.

Compact House - v.1

I come up with the concept origami because I know that the shape of it can take the level of modern architecture now a day. And I was given a chance to design a compact house that’s why in a simple scaled model; I want to show an origami style on my structure.

Origami is consist of different kinds of paper folding that forms a sculpture and it's the same with architecture that was visualized in a different kind of formation.

I want to make a paper formation a structure that has the futuristic design of a structure.

Design:

The purpose of the glass wall is for the owner to see what is happening around his/her house, like a bird who can see everything while flying.

The tail of a bird in my structure will represent as a garage because a long feather of a bird can give you a protection in any weather climate.

I am choosing the origami of a bird because I want my client to feel that his or her house is in the top of the world and he or she can do everything that he or she wants, while flying and the term flying means relaxation. I will give my client a relaxation by transforming the structure into a bird the flies up above the sky with an open place and closed from problems.

Let’s elaborate.

The client will feel that the house is at the top of the world by it unique design. The house is the palace of all designs.

Flying means relaxation because you are floating in a space that no one can reach you or even disturb you.

Feel like a bird finding for an adventure.

And that’s how my compact house will be look like, a house that no one can change or defeat on.

“Fly high as you dream high.”
