The issue with huge-scale monumental train stations: - Isolated from the environment. - Pressure on users, the feeling of being in a palace or place of worship. - Not comfortable, too large to move around. - As buildings get bigger and taller, nature around them loses its value. Two different scales in proportion. There should be a balance. - People tend to be keen on having the ‘biggest’ or ‘tallest’ building. Maybe this derived from the population of users, it was a ‘Need’ but then it became more like a competition without considering the users. - The problem is not having large buildings. It’s the imbalance and inefficiency of space. - Having spaces underground hides the dense circulation of travellers and maintains a balance between the building and nature around it. But also, to preserve the urban space; a place not only for travelers but for recreational purposes. - A landmark is not necessarily a large or tall building. It's how many users it attracts. (Open for correction 🙃)
The excellent bose suspension could never make it to production. Soundproofing technology by bose maybe a success but it depends on cost effectiveness.
The truth of this woman is that she was an engineer who worked for hir personal fame only and her works was never to serve the community. And her works were just an art pictures converted to an engineering works. And the question. Is this woman worked all of these works by herself, or was she hiding those who were working for her and who she was using them for her personal fame?
There is something incredibly obvious and hypocritical about this work. These are beautiful and expensive objects, telling the people paying for them what they already know. They express the tension inherent in how culture is created and consumed, as a sort of indulgence to forgive the sins of the society that funds it. There's no escaping, so might as well make a living holding up that mirror.
It's a beautiful sculpture with a nice conceptual approach to it, but let's not get out of ourselves: The concept has been used before, there is no innovation, there is high technical difficulty, and a beautiful aesthetic made for a LIQUOR. It's a craft. The end.
Imogen Heap is an amazing creator, songwriter, singer, and musician. she must be protected at all costs. also Hide and Seek may be the most incredible song on planet earth, at least in my opinion
