For my project I will design a multi faith centre based on the theme industrialism . For this project I got inspire by several architects which include Ando Tadao, Frederick Gibberd and John pawson 

Tadoa Ando is one of my inspiration for this project because he designed multiple chapels and faith spaces in his career. For this project was parcticularly inspires me is his design of the church of light. Located in Osaka, this iconic structure is one of the most famous architectures of Ando. The interplay of natural light and the cross cut into the concrete wall is a testament to Ando's ability to create spiritual and contemplative spaces.

Frederick Gibbered is an inspiration as well because his work showcases the understanding of the functional aspects of large-scale infrastructure and demonstrates his ability to work on both urban planning and individual buildings. The Liverpool Metropolitan cathedral perfectly these ability with its functional aesthetic.

John pawson is an inspiration in this project because his work on the Chapel of St. Moritz in Germany  stands is a testament to his mastery of simplicity and spatial harmony. The chapel, characterised by its clean lines and tranquil ambiance, shows Pawson's dedication to crafting spaces that encourage introspection and spiritual contemplation. His meticulous attention to detail, evident in the careful selection of materials and manipulation of light, showcases a deliberate and restrained aesthetic. As an inspirational figure for this project, Pawson offers valuable insights into the potency of simplicity, thoughtful spatial manipulation, and the profound influence of light in architectural compositions.

For this project I will use various digital tools such as Photoshop, Pixlr and sketchup to help me in the completion of my design.

Photoshop, Pixlr, and SketchUp are crucial digital tools for me in this design projects. They will help me to visualise and conceptualise my ideas in various ways. Photoshop is great for manipulating and enhancing images and will allow me to perfect my design presentations. It is versatile in creating realistic renderings, adjusting lighting, and integrating different design elements to communicate complex ideas. Pixlr is a user-friendly option that I find valuable for quick edits and enhancements, providing flexibility in my design workflows. SketchUp is essential for three-dimensional modeling, helping me translate conceptual designs into virtual structures. Its user-friendly interface and dynamic modeling capabilities make it easy to create intricate 3D models, aiding in spatial comprehension and design refinement. Using these tools will help me to effectively communicate my visions with peers and tutors.

    Decent effort, but it may have been better to spread your research over several posts to demonstrate how each design/designer has impacted your project and influenced your design.

    As for making your 2D outcomes, you should look at a combination of traditional and digital outcomes - some Sketchup if you are confident enough, but the point of making the 2 point perspective drawing was to give you some ideas about how you could produce a concept sketch for your project.

Multi-faith centres and religious spaces

Multi-faith  centres are inclusive spaces that encourage dialogue, understanding, and collaboration among people from various religious backgrounds. They   provides a space where people of differing religious beliefs can spend time in contemplation or prayer  (Center for Architecture, 2023) .  These spaces promote diversity and unity through shared values and interfaith harmony. They provide a neutral setting for worship, dialogue, and community-building, contributing to inclusivity. The significance of these centres in promoting inclusivity and diversity lies in their celebration of diverse religious traditions and encouragement of interaction among different faiths. They also foster open dialogue to break down cultural and religious barriers through shared spaces and activities, as well as promote the idea that diversity is an asset by providing a space where all faiths are respected  (KAICIID, 2020).  Understanding diverse cultural and rel...

Final major project: Digital software

 For my project I will use SketchUp to help me achieve my final design. SketchUp is an easy 3D modelling programme . SketchUP landscape design SketchUp is a really handy software for landscape architects and designers who want to create playground designs. It has many useful features and advantages that are specifically designed to meet their requirements. Here are some reasons why SketchUp is a great option for for this task: 1. User friendly interface  The interface of SketchUp is well-known for being easy to use and understand. Beginners and professionals alike can easily navigate the workspace and utilise the simple tools. Even if you are new to it, you can quickly grasp the basics and start creating 3D models without any difficulties. 2. 3D modelling capabilities SketchUp is great at creating detailed 3D models. It helps designers visualise playground layouts, equipment, and landscaping elements in a realistic three-dimensional space. The software has precise modelling to...

Research - Final major project: Style of Architecture

For me Playground architecture is about designing and planning outdoor spaces, I am interested in design that are functional, and give purpose to community. For this project I am inspired by three Architects, Kunal Maniar, Carl Theodor Sorensen and Aldo Van Eyck. Kunal Maniar Carl Theodor Sorensen Aldo Van Eyck Kunal Maniar is one of the most famous landscape architects in India. He worked on many projects and always cares about nature but most importantly about water conservation. As my project focuses on the ecosystem and sustainability, Kunal Maniar is a great inspiration with his work and techniques. "Landscape architecture and mindful planning interventions applied at a large scale can help restore ecological balance in regions that have suffered ill-effects of exploitation by humans and build resilience against anthropogenic climate change" (Kunal Maniar, 2023). Architects such as, Carl Theodor Sorensen and designers who work on playground architecture focus on creating...
