Architectural Art differs from
renderings in that it is the
display of what COULD be in
architecture and not the WHAT
IS of rendering. Architectural
Art takes a fanciful look at
possibilities versus
probabilities. It is often used
by architects to postulate on
the possibility of a structure's
appearance.
Many famous buildings
have come about as a result of
this Art form. Take for
example the Guggenheim
Museum in New York City,
designed by the famous
Architect Frank Lloyd Wright,
that looks like an Ice Cream
Cone protruding from the
ground with its ever expanding
concentric circles getting larger
and larger as it lifts from the
ground. Or the beautiful opera
house in Sydney Australia,
designed as a result of a
contest by the well known
Architect Jorn Utzon, that looks
as if it could take wing and
fly.
There have been others
that have used architectural
form for the purpose of facy or
even the teaching of a
mathamatical theory such as
the works of Maurits Cornelis
Escher or M. C. Escher who
used architectural form and
impossible arrangement for
many reasons. His beautiful,
intersting and sometimes
confusing forms were used not
only to entertain but to
extrapolate complex
mathematical thought in a
visual form that students could
better identify with.

visions. |
