A CONCEPT DESIGN OF AN ARCHITECTURAL SCULPTURE DEDICATED TO TADAO ANDO, THE GREAT JAPANESE ARCHITECT. THE DESIGN WAS MADE FOR AN ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION NAMED SCULPTING THE PIONEERS OF ARCHITECTURE CONDUCTED BY ARCHDAIS.
THE IMPORTANCE OF CIRCLE
THE FLOWER OF LIFE IN THE FIRST IMAGE IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE AND IS ALSO CALLED THE GENESIS PATTERN WHICH MEANS THE BEGINNING OF LIFE.
THE SECOND IMAGE IS THE IMAGE OF ENSO WHICH IS ALSO OF A GREAT IMPORTANCE. Enso (formally spelled ensō) is a sacred symbol in Zen Buddhism meaning circle, or sometimes, circle of togetherness. It is traditionally drawn using only one brushstroke as a meditative practice in letting go of the mind and allowing the body to create, as the singular brushstroke allows for no modifications. While at first glance, the enso symbol appears no more than a misshapen circle, it symbolizes many things: the beauty in imperfection, the art of letting go of expectations, the circle of life, and connection. The enso is a manifestation of the artist at the moment of creation and the acceptance of our innermost self. It symbolizes strength, elegance, and one-mindedness.
the next pictures are the images from the projects of the architect which shows us the importance of geometry in his architectural IDEOLOGY.
