The wonderful gothic art deco American Radiator Building, New York
The fact that this building is as magnificent as it is and yet I have never heard of it before now tells me both that it is occupied by some sort of mind-controlling and possibly time-traveling covert organization and that their power is weakening.

Do you think that female architects and male architects have a different style to one another ? Woman having softer lines and men more brutal architecture? I think it can depend myself but have you got any photos to show this theory or go against it ? So many questions 🙄
archatlas answered:
I don’t think so. We might want to find such differences but a designer’s style is not determined by its gender.
For your consideration below are two projects by Zaha Hadid compared to two projects by Daniel Libeskind. Who has softer lines? Who is more brutal?
Pabellón de Vanke Daniel Libeskind
Heydar Aliyev Center Zaha Hadid
Denver Museum Daniel Libeskind
Vitra Fire Station Zaha Hadid

Spectrum by Tokujin Yoshioka
The Shiseido Gallery will hold an exhibition of a new installation by Tokujin Yoshioka. This installation will show light that fills the room with infinite color, giving visitors an opportunity to experience this mysterious light. Philosopher of nature, Newton, passed light through a transparent, polyhedral prism, showing that, in light, there exists a multitudinous number of colors. We feel that we can learn more about color through nature. Through the prism, we see beautiful rainbow beams of light emitting from spectral light.
Yoshioka is well-renowned both in Japan and around the world as one of the creative people who influence the world through works created from experimental technologies and unhindered ideas in a wide range of fields such as design, art, and architecture. Until now, Tokujin Yoshioka has focused on the relationship between nature and human beings, specifically pursuing research about the sensation that light brings. With this, he expresses his creations through unique techniques that reflect this research.
Perspe by Gustav Willeit
In the words of the artist Gustav Willeit:
The title of this series, Perspe, originated from a fragment of the German word “Perspektive” (perspective): a programmatic statement alluding to the composition work, which is based on a simulation that fully exploits the opportunities offered by digital technology. The artist traces an unnatural perspective, i.e. a perspective that is “ideated”, invented, that acts and creates “different” places by mirroring the image, thus reaching perfect symmetry often disrupted by a discordant element.
