Response to Fractal by Thomas Zhou

Thomas describes fractal geometry in his blog.  I found the blog very interesting because he says that it can apply to almost any object or thing in life.  In life, I never thought of objects in this way.  At least not when it comes to everyday objects at home, in public places, or out in nature.  However, I do think of this sort of thing when I think of atoms and molecules.  The atoms and molecules in the world are small but all parts put together make each thing.  We can not see these small parts when we look at them regularly.  But if we look closer, like under a microscope, we can see this.  This is what I thought when I read his blog.  However, what makes it different from my point of view is how Thomas relates it to art and geometry.  It makes sense to me the way he puts it, but just in the reverse.  When I think of small parts and a whole, I think of the small parts making the whole.  In his blog, he talks about breaking a whole into his smaller parts.  So out thoughts are the same but just in opposite ways.

Zaha Hadid Furniture Exhibition at Sonnabend

Zaha Hadid Furniture Exhibition at Sonnabend

 "After the bad taste generated by the recent Chanel “exhibition” Zaha Hadid is back in the news with a more tasteful show. The collection of her swirling furniture forms at Sonnabend, with some material at a recently vacated garage. Yanko Design has a strong write up of the material, mentioning that its strength comes in range. A number of forms are represented, and the ideas Hadid brings to them explored fully".(selectism  logo)

I found the shape is soft line that looks the lady's body, so I think the work function is public's chair and it is a artwork. I have two opinions that the first one is the art elements, which is from the water because it had movement. another point is that it made of plastic, which is easy to create the shape.

I want to five more and more example to feel her artwork.

Future Architecture Design Building Guggenheim Hermitage Museum by Zaha Hadid

Future Architecture Design Building Guggenheim Hermitage Museum by Zaha Hadid

" Zaha Hadid Architects have won a competition to design the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania."

"The competition was part of a feasibility study by the Guggenheim Foundation and theState Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg, Russia."

" Architects Daniel Libeskind and Massimiliano Fuksas also submitted proposals."

"All three submissions will be on display at the exhibition Imagining the Future: Design Proposals for a New Museum in Vilnius at the Jonas Mekas Visual Arts Center in Vilnius from today until the end of June."

“I am delighted to be working in Vilnius on the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum” states Hadid. “The city will be the European Capital of Culture in 2009 and has a long history of art patronage. With such an interest in the arts, Vilnius will continue to develop as a cultural centre where the connection between culture and public life is critical. This museum will be a place where you can experiment with the idea of galleries, spatial complexity and movement.”

From my opinion, firstly, I think Zaha's projects used to create a really charming line. The projects were visualised by beautifull paintings in which you could see the excellence of the design in a way that was never seen before. Nowadays it looks like a repetition of a cheap trick, there are a lot of works look like this style because the elements are looks similar.
