The organization of milwaukee art museum

The organization of milwaukee art museum is clearly set to enhance the waterfront view. Instead of designing a typical beautiful structure by the lake, the architect designed the structure to harmonize with the lake. Although the wind of the structure is eye-chatching, and look like it is all about the structure, building itself under the wind have many spaces inside. The wind is just part of the roof. In my opinion, the designed of the Milwaukee art museum is very sophisticated. The designed which is intend to look like bird and boat is blended in so well, so when you look at it, you kind of forget it is a building.

The Nerman Museum Set-Up

The Nerman Museum at JCCC was built to act as a kind of "doorway" into a campus full of art. The structure itself has a very open feel to it, the rooms are separated and defined by stairways, level changes, and walls. All of the transitions are very smooth. Glass was used frequently in the design to enhance the building's connection with the outdoors, and to frame views of the JCCC campus. The organization of the structure is asymmetrical, which is even visible from the exterior. The cantilevered room that overhangs the entryway is balanced by the weight of the huge campus on the other side of it.

The Bird's Nest

My favorite building that we saw in the presentation was the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest. After seeing it on TV for so many months during the Olympics, I think this building has made a huge impact on the world's view of China. The "nest" theme of the building suggests not only that China is a nation ready to take flight, but also draws its inspiration from nature - this coming from a country that is trying to move in a more ecologically sound direction as it continues to grow at an unbelievable rate. I think it is architecture that is meant to reflect good intentions, which is the best kind.

Organization of Taliesin West

Im not quite sure if Frank Lloyd Wright had a set organization for Taliesin West, but i do know that he designed it so that the majority of the buildings would face the Mountains. Wright patterned it to resemble the flow of and feeling of the desert surrounding it. So the organization of each sector was rather random, but Wright tried to encorporate the building into the surrounding features of the desert terrain and mountains.

WTC Organization

The World Trade Center's organization was just like many of the office buildings you see around the world today. The Twin Towers were 2 100+ story office buildings located in downtown Manhattan. They were structured like any other office building - many stories high, with many floors of office space. The proportion and scale of the 2 were identical, giving them the infamous nickname of the "Twin Towers."

Building Organization

I do not think that the building that I did (The Aronoff Center) had a set organization structure, or a particular proportion and scale. I think that it does not have one becasue of the way it was designed and built. It was designed to have slanted wall, windows, and floors; which created different scales and proportions for each room.

The Gateway Arch by Eero Saarinen is a very simple design and every line of the arch fits perfectly into a very simple parabolic equation. Also known as an inverted catenary arch it's equation is -127.7ft x cosh(x/127.7ft) + 757.7ft
