As we all know technology is always
improving and changing. Communicating is now easier and because of
this design is an international profession. Design is evolving all
around the world and designers are becoming more worldwide because of
communication and travel. One designer from this era that really
intrigued me is Cesar Pelli. He is an Argentine and American
Architect who has built some of the world's tallest buildings. One of
his most famous is Petronas Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Another designer and
architect who truly inspired me is Micheal Graves.He was part of the
The New York Five. Not only did he design buildings and furniture but
he also designed household items like the famous kettle. In 2003, he
went through a traumatic infection causing him to be paralyzed from
the waist down. After this happened to him he became inspired to
design furniture for hospitals. I think embracing with what you are
given or what happens is very inspiring and this really touched me.
Here are some of his designs.
Another man who I thought
was inspiring today is Frank Gehry. His works are some of the most important building of contemporary design. The way he thinks of his deigns
and his way of life and thinking is very interesting and inspiring. The picture below is called the dancing building representing a man and a woman dancing. I think relating buildings to people is very creative!
