while the private dwells within a building - the public does in it's outer appearance watch the video : https://vimeo.com/191677758 Description: From the fascination of historic facades derives my aim to envision how these established and familiar values of the historic can be implemented in our contemporary architecture. Analyzing which architectural elements and principles make the historic facades to it’s enchanting and engaging presence, in order to imagine how these inherited values can be recontextualized in our existing and prospective built environment. The creation of beauty, through the art of craft, was seen as the central task of the architect, conceptualizing how these can meet todays building possibilities and architectural visions is the essence of this project.
