From the past to the present
Pierre Luigi Nervi was an italian architect engineer and builder of 20th century.This are some of the most famouse buildings that Luigi built :Municipal Stadium,Florence,Airplane Hangars and Unesco headquartes,Paris;Pirelli Office Building,Milan;Sport Arena,Rome;Port Authority Bus Terminal,New York City. With an amzing technique and way of building it these objects are still there even today. These means that luigi's technique was the right one to be used at that time.But.... Can we say that between Building technology and Architectural Aesthetics exist a relation?
If the designer is a good one he might find the way to combine both of them. Building technology means that the object is okay from the techinal view,but also it should have a good look too.Most of the people watch objects from the outside part not from the inside one.Here i thik i might do a little critic about the bus terminal that luigi built its not that it have a good look. When i see it from outside it doesnt give me any emotion.Good technology is necessary but not a sufficient condition for Good Architecture.For me as a future architecture i think that everything should be perfect i am totally agree but a large use of technology might do that your object to be totally destroyed by the time passes.
Building Correctly means:Stability,Durability,Function,Maximum Results with Minimum Means.I know that a architect to built needs at least to complete this conditions but i also think that if i wanna built correctly i should take for example the idea that the cost might be higher.The relationship between Building technology and Architectural Aesthetics is present even in nowdays.But its origins that this relationship has been from the past.And this thing shows very good the building from the past like the pyramids in Egypt or the ancient buildings in Rome or Greece.
