Manifesto (creativity in the climate crisis)


Creativity In the Climate crisis 

With the world's environmental stability progressively decreasing everyone needs to do there part to improve it. Architecture is one of the main causes of this but how do we improve? 

In this manifesto I will be focusing on:

- How I want to improve the future architecturslly by work with the environment rather than demolishing
- A look into the statistics of architecture and the environment
-  How we can improve the situation on th e use of "embodied" And "in use" energies
- Questioning why celebrities should have huge houses that can be considered a waste of byspace environmentally speaking  
- How we can improve people's lives with environmentally friendly Architecture
- How even within purposeful architecture, privacy needs to be considered 
- My own experiences and opinions on  environmentally chaotic and obstructive Architecture
- How I want to improve the situation in the future
-Not wasting space 
- Stefano Boeri’s ideas and how they link to my opinions and further improvements (a design of his will be mentioned earlier in the manifesto as well)

The Politics of architecture: the relationships between people and how they decide to change their conditions of living

Although within society we are constantly try t o improve the equality of female to male standing within society I am extremely surprised that the first female president of RIBA was in 2009. Yet the first female prime minister (Margret Thatcher) was in 1979. This 30 years difference is appalling and extreme changes need to be made.  As a woman myself I believe that change needs to be made at a much faster rate and that we need to be considered further within the architecturally community. Zaha Hadid as an inspiration of mine I can perceive how much change a woman can make architecturally and aspire to design such beautiful structures as her.  A beautiful interview with Zaha Hadid:  https://youtu.be/t29zH7ZpxqQ The configuration between Scotland's and England's seating in Parliament is extremely interesting as the Scottish curvature seating wise gives this sense if togetherness in comparisons to England's obvious division. It is also interesting to observe the archite...

Vaults, Buttresses and dimensions of design Vs Medieval domestic architecture

Image
Gothic architecture contains 4 different types of vaults; Barrel, Groin, Rib and Fan, with the most common being the Rib vaults. https://images.app.goo.gl/jmFRtcUA65fETrjo9 The building’s would take approximately 50 years to build with complexity's with the weight, height, detailing (overtime with the buttresses), thickness and more. These allowed openings for extremely ornate and gorgeous artwork that influence those who observe. The three eras of Gothic architecture are: Early Gothic (1120-1200) An example being the Abbey of Saint-Denis in Paris, built in 1140 being the first with precise vaulting and chains of windows along the perimeter. High Gothic (1200-1280) England - (1300-1375 Began with the subdivision of Rayonant with a more decorative style in comparison to the prior . An example of this being the Chartres Cathedral in France 1194-1220. (Close up drawn by myself). Late Gothic (1280-1500) -   The 'flamboyant' style   Characterized by prominent vertical lines in ...

How do we truly express ourselves?

Image
(Collage made by myself)  Should clothes/fashion have a gender? Should  self expression be demonstrated further in society without gender specification? And should architects specify their designs towards specific genders?  In my opinion. No.  It's fascinating to percieve how various generations percieve the roles of gender self expression and identity and how that has changed in society throughout the years.  When questioning someone of generation X (42-57) on gender association after showing one of my friends they spoke:  " When I was your age there were few men willing to walk around in dresses and corsets."  Whilst I can perceive as to why this happened  during the 1970s etc I'm glad that society has become more open about what people can where and that it's starting to become irrelevant as self expression is the most important thing in my opinion.  But how does this relate architecturally?  Well, throughout history, women have been ...
