As this is the first post of this blog I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dylan and I'm 19 years old. I am currently attending Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI. My major is architecture and my freshman year is almost over. I have been attracted to architecture since my freshman year of high school. The beauty of design as well as the complexity of the thought required is wonderful. I love the idea of being able to create something that people will actually use, admire and criticize. Criticism is the core of my education. Learning what is good and what is to be avoided is crucial in my success in the future.
With this blog I am trying to make myself look into architecture further and help my own understanding as well as others. I am also going to include things that relate to architecture such as furniture, interior design, landscaping and site plans. I will try my best to post at least one or two posts a day.
I will occasionally post my own work and things that I have done either independently or for school.
To Start Things Off:
Thought I would post something rather classic. The Barcelona Chair.
This chair was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich for German Pavilion at the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929 which was hosted in Barcelona, Spain. It was an icon of modernism, but inspired by ancient folding chairs. The frame is made of steel coated in chrome. The cushions are leather and filled with polyurethane foam. The dimensions of the chair are 75cm X 75cm X 75cm.
Many designer furniture fans know that it is important to be able to tell the difference between an authentic Barcelona chair.
