Which is more beautiful: modern architecture or traditional architecture?
Beauty is subjective and can be found in both modern and traditional architecture. Modern architecture often features sleek lines, innovative materials, and cutting-edge design, while traditional architecture often showcases intricate details, historical significance, and cultural heritage. Both styles have their own unique charm and appeal, and the beauty of each ultimately depends on individual preferences and the context in which they are presented. Ultimately, the beauty of architecture lies in its ability to evoke emotion, inspire creativity, and enhance the built environment.

Architecture or police?
Both architecture and police play important roles in society, but they serve different functions. Architecture involves designing and constructing buildings and spaces that shape our environment and impact our daily lives. On the other hand, police are responsible for maintaining law and order, ensuring public safety, and upholding justice. Both are essential components of a functioning society, with architecture providing the physical infrastructure and police providing the social infrastructure.

Phantom Architecture
'60 fantastical structures described and illustrated in this colourful and highly entertaining book.' The Sunday Times 'If you can’t think of a present for the armchair architect in your life – well, problem solved' The Daily Telegraph 'These ghostly architectural echoes entrance the reader.' The Field ‘This is a lavishly illustrated book of wonder for the dreamer in your life’ The MetroA skyscraper one mile high, a dome covering most of downtown Manhattan, a triumphal arch in the form of an elephant: some of the most exciting buildings in the history of architecture are the ones that never got built. These are the projects in which architects took materials to the limits, explored challenging new ideas, defied conventions, and pointed the way towards the future.Some of them are architectural masterpieces, some simply delightful flights of fancy.It was not usually poor design that stymied them – politics, inadequate funding, or a client who chose a ‘safe’ option rather than a daring vision were all things that could stop a project leaving the drawing board. These unbuilt buildings include the grand projects that acted as architectural calling cards, experimental designs that stretch technology, visions for the future of the city, and articles of architectural faith.Structures likeBuckminster Fuller’s dome over New York or Frank Lloyd Wright’s mile-high tower can seem impossibly daring.But they also point to buildings that came decades later, to the Eden Project and the Shard. Some of those unbuilt wonders are buildings of great beauty and individual form like Etienne-Louis Boullée’s enormous spherical monument to Isaac Newton; some, such as the city plans of Le Corbusier, seem to want to teach us how to live; some, like El Lissitsky’s ‘horizontal skyscrapers’ and Gaudí’s curvaceous New York hotel, turn architectural convention upside-down; some, such as Archigram’s Walking City and Plug-in City, are bizarre and inspiring by turns.All are captured in this magnificently illustrated book.

Why does old German architecture look better than modern architecture?
Old German architecture is often considered more aesthetically pleasing than modern architecture due to its intricate details, craftsmanship, and historical significance. The use of traditional materials such as timber, stone, and intricate carvings give old German buildings a sense of timelessness and charm. Additionally, the preservation of these historic buildings allows us to appreciate the architectural styles and techniques of the past, which may be lacking in modern designs that prioritize functionality and efficiency over ornate details.

What is the difference between biomorphic architecture and sculptural architecture?
Biomorphic architecture is characterized by organic, flowing forms that are inspired by natural shapes and patterns, often resembling plants, animals, or other natural elements. This type of architecture often incorporates curves, asymmetry, and fluid lines to create a sense of movement and dynamism. On the other hand, sculptural architecture focuses on creating bold, expressive forms that are often abstract and geometric in nature. This type of architecture often emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow to create dramatic visual effects, and it may incorporate sharp angles, clean lines, and strong volumes. While both biomorphic and sculptural architecture prioritize innovative and unconventional forms, biomorphic architecture draws inspiration from nature, while sculptural architecture focuses on creating striking, artistic shapes.

Which field of study do you prefer: Architecture or Landscape Architecture?
I prefer Landscape Architecture because I am drawn to the natural environment and the opportunity to create sustainable and beautiful outdoor spaces. I am passionate about incorporating elements of nature into design and creating spaces that promote well-being and harmony with the environment. Additionally, I appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of Landscape Architecture, which allows for a holistic approach to design that considers ecological, social, and aesthetic factors.
