kingeldar Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 sens less (non-sens) architecture Not even architecture... just promo images... marketing tools... should not be called architecture... maybe art conceptual art cgart graphic art or whatever (strictly advertising....??) not architecture.... Architecture is related to thinking, writing theorical thoughts, not only producing nice sexy drawings (or photo realistic rendering) BMW foundation never promoted thinking in architecture. the only problem is images.... BMW mostly promots CG indeed.... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 dont give a ***** either way. completely unimportant and irrelavent in my life, means nothing to me. but, if i had an opinion, it would be what JH said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Hear hear What a load of tosh. As a concept, it's brilliant. Everybody aspires to better cars and houses so everybody admires good design in both but.....it's just been done SO badly. It doesn't work!

Me too! Advertisers think we're all stupid. They'll never convince me to buy Coca Cola or to ask my husband for diamonds (which ARE stupid).

Chaz Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 I tend to look at it another way. I don’t like the architecture (the field that that makes me money), but it shows me some thoughts to incorporate into my artwork. As far as marketing, that’s what we do. Our artwork is used to sell things to people. My artwork help sell 5000 square foot homes for only two people to live in. I don’t think they need it, but I won’t turn down the work. I enjoy marketing. I look at it for what it is. I get to see styles and flash that only the BIG dollars can pay for to create. But we need to see the dark side. As people get more accustomed to this type of marketing, it raised the bar of what people expect from us. I could go on but I don’t want to go off tract.

mbr Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I am not a fan of those designs, but I comment BMW for incorporate progressive architecture in their campaigns. God knows there isn't nearly enough done to help those of us that are young and trying to do everything!! Those 'buildings' could be real, or not. They are certainly feasible, although a tad more supports for the floating blob would help! They could be architecture, they may just be graphics, only the authors really know. Any of the greats, from Corbu to Koolhaas, have done designs with less detail and certainly questionable, from a feasibility standpoint, but not all architecture is practical. So let them be what they are, merely ideas at this point, things to get people talking and designs that could start a career. Now if only BMW would fund these (well, maybe others, but it's a start). They do have quite a design mission, architecturally speaking, underway. Hadid has a new building that I believe is underway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgarcia Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Just saw a mini-van commercial a couple days ago that was shot in Morphosis' Diamond Ranch High. The concrete was watered down for reflection...anyone seen it? markus - you're in Denver now? How's the air up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbr Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 It's fine. Snowed last night, all pretty this morning! It's nice here. I didn't see the ad, but there was a McDonalds or something similar a few years ago. Toyota has one with Bilbao and Calatrava's museum (I think it's toyota). I took some pics of Libeskind's museum (under construction), I'll post soon. Lookin' pretty slick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgarcia Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Nice to hear you're doing well there. Didn't Gehry design a library in Denver? Best of luck Markus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kid Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Originally posted by kingeldar: sens less (non-sens) architecture Not even architecture... just promo images... marketing tools... should not be called architecture... But you'd be wrong. These are architectural concepts by real architects, created with real intentions in mind (paper architecture though they may be). The weren't made specifically for BMW ads, BMW just appropriated them for their own needs. This image - was designed by R & Sie. D/B:L (5 french guys), and was titled [un]Plug Building & Friday Wear - Building of 'domestic offices' at La Defense, Paris, France, 2000. It was presented at the ArchiLab-futurehouse conference at Orleans, France in 2001. I'd say there was quite some thinking involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
