Difference

Leon Battista Alberti
  • Roof is the main structure, it should come first then only the columns, walls, beams,....
  • Think that by increasing or decreasing the geometry shape, can get the ideal ratio.
  • Artistic image and principle of Mathematics should connect together. Beauty of a building from the respective part of the proportion of integration can created the precedent of using mathematical thinking in formative art.
  • Think that outer of a building can be easily take out; internal structure is the most important.

Juhani Pallasmaa
  • Believe philosophically more than physical.
  • Think that building not only a visual art, but also a variety of facial features of art.
  • Building must be very meaningful, should inspire all human five senses.

Jonathan Hill
  • Think that immaterial is a felling of a person, must have a good explanation.
  • A creative people will understand the feel of absence of matter easily.


Primary Commonality

  • Leon Battista Alberti, Juhani Pallasmaa and Jonathan Hill tried to combine use of materiality and immateriality.

In the project, we are required to design a Art Gallery in a specific site which located in Shah Alam. The reasons I choose this specific project is because I find that the layout design and outcome of the building suits well to the ‘Simplicity’ concept.
