Complex form but not random
A large building that has complex form usually becomes
well-known. However, that does not mean it can be considered as a good
building. “Sagrada Famillia” or “The Temple of the Sacred family” by Antoni
Gaudi is one of the largest buildings that have a complex form. Even though, at
first, I thought the shape of the Sagrada Famillia looks a quite randomly
created but actually it has a symmetrical form and the concept of astonishing
temple which Guadi took the shape out of the pattern of drifting water as an
inspiration. Structure in the Sagrada Famillia
such as the beams columns system are all perfectly designed to pass the force
down to the basement system by using the symmetry arches and vaults. Due to the
concept of the design, Sagrada Famillia does bring the feeling of astonishment
and subliminally matter. The designs of every part in Sagrada Famillia all have
meanings. Even though the columns at the entrance, they have statues forms of a
lion and eagle gives this building like a catholic church that has Barcelona
church. Compare to the Guggenheim Museum by Frank Gehry that also has a complex
form, but it does not really bring out any strong feeling like Sagrada Famillia
does. The concept of the Guggenheim Museum comes from a squeezed piece of paper
in Frank Gehrry’s hand. He claimed that the reason he used a squeezed paper as
the concept because he wanted to make one piece of junk into a well known mega
structure which can support the community’s business activity. However, in my
perspective, it still sounds randomly created in some sense. The form of the
structure make it seems like Frank Gehry didn’t plan the structure before the
construction. Including the Guggenheim Museum do not represent its function or
building use. From the exterior look, it cannot be told that it is a museum.
Although, it did improve the economical activity in the surrounding area, but,
for architects’ responsibility, it is still considered as unattractive project.
