2001, Maison Hermès store in Japan. Made of glass blocks and makes it look like a Japanese lantern at night.

Renzo Piano creates several works that combine the architecture with the outside environment. He is also known for his "high-tech" style and his work in designing museums and other high-tech public places. I think his style is very creative and unique. I remember learning about The Centre Pompidou in Paris in French class during middle school. He seems to take inspiration from the locations around him and overall, I like his design style.

Avery's Architect Research

                        Fallingwater (1939) : set atop a waterfall in Mill Run PA


Norman Lykes House (1967) :Phoenix Arizona  


Darwin D. Martin House: (1905) in New York use stucco and limestone

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum: (1959) open atrium

Child of the Sun (1958) : on campus of Florida Southern College 

Fredrick C. Robie House (1906) :  in Chicago IL

David and Glady's Wright House : (1952) Phoenix Arizona 


Frank Lloyd Wright is an American architect that as designed more than 1,000 structures over 70 years!!! He designed in harmony with humanity and the environment, he called it organic architecture. I like some of his designs, I think they are very interesting and I enjoy his usage of curves and interesting shape cutouts. My favorite is the first image, The Fallingwater, and I really enjoy the idea that he incorporated a river into the work instead of just building around it.

Bella's Architect Research - Zaha Hadid

 

1. Morpheus Hotel in Macao

2. Beijing Daxing Airport 


3. Hadid Architects show VR (virtual reality) Architectural Designs and ideas 
4. Chengdu Contemporary Art Centre 
5. The Chinese Cultural Center in China 
6. Galaxy SOHO in Beijing 

Zara Hadid has been names "Queen of the Curves" due to her consistent use of curved and angled Architectural Designs. She was awarded the 2004 Pritzer Architecture Prize, RIBA Sterling Prize twice, the London Design Museum’s Design of the Year in 2014,  Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize for architecture in 2009, and the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture in 2016. In 2016 she was named a Dame by the DBE. I really like Hadid's designs because her designs are out of the box and more playful than an average building so they have character and movement.
