    An Architect’s most important tool, the medium of conversion of thoughts and creativity to tangible parameters, on paper! Sketching and Architecture are 2 sides of the same coin. The architectural sketch itself may look like something Picasso drew in his sleep (Zaha Hadid!) or like a 5-year-old’s crayon drawing (Sorry Cesar Pelli). But it still stands to be the perfect medium, the first representation of an Architects’ creativity, imagination, and design philosophies, amalgamating to form the initial and raw image of the final product.

    We can praise the French for a variety of reasons, including their food, fashion, wine, art, artists, and a plethora of important art movements, but we must not overlook their spectacular architecture. Throughout history, French architecture has served as a model for the rest of the world, giving rise to some of the most well-known architectural styles. In terms of the most recent time, a few world-renowned architects, such as Jean Nouvel and Dominique Perrault, are immediately identified with France. Even Le Corbusier, the father of modernism, is a Frenchman in heart, despite being born in northwestern Switzerland. Let us investigate how French architecture has evolved throughout time.

    The Nationale-Nederlanden office building, more often recognised as ‘The Dancing House’ is a modernised commercial building sitting on the corner plot, looking over the magnificent Vltava river and the surrounding historical structures. Constructed in 1996, the structure was itself a bold statement that stood out in the monotonous neighbourhood defined by the typical ‘Art Nouveau’ buildings. The curved building also houses a rooftop restaurant offering amazing views of the city, making the Dancing House a popular tourist attraction.

    In 1927, an Italian-immigrant barber named Domenic Parisi was beginning to lose his eyesight. Having cut hair for forty years, he took all $1,000 of his life savings and sent for an espresso machine from Italy. And this is how America was introduced to one of its oldest serving coffee shops in New York City, Caffè Reggio.

    Wise men come with wise philosophy! Such was the legacy of Daniel Burnham. After a consolidated struggling career, the then President of the American Institute of Architects (1894-1895) not just pioneered the ‘City Beautiful Movement’; but also is considered by many the originator of skyscrapers along with his practicing partner John Wellborn Root. A prolific Urban Planner, Burnham’s major works still communicate with us through his City Plans of San Francisco, Washington D.C., as well as Manila in the Philippines, and Chicago.

    The phrase “Form Follows Function” was first used by Louis Sullivan in one of his articles known as “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered”. Here he used the term form ever follows function which was later shortened to form follows function. Sullivan was inspired by the Art Nouveau architectural style, but his design style focused on the functionality of the building compared to the aesthetics of the building.

    Architecture has captured the imagination of artists and photographers since the very beginning. ‘Architectural photography’ is exactly what the term describes – photography of architecture and the built form. Architects have used photography as a tool to gain inspiration from the surrounding built environment, as well as document their own projects in such a manner to capture the very essence of the project – to make the public eye see what the architect wants them to see. As is the case with any art form, architectural photography has gone through various movements over the years, in which photographers have experimented with various techniques, media, and technology. The invention of smartphones brought along a new era of ‘instant’ photography, and the popularity of iPhones led to the creation of ‘iPhoneography’. This new typology of photography has allowed a much larger population than before to explore various forms of photography, while the explosion of social media platforms created new avenues to share work with a wide and international audience.
