The moment you mention kitchens, tiles immediately come to the mind. Tiles are the intrinsic part of all kitchen décor that give it the all-important clean, hygienic and of course an attractive look and feel. If not used properly they can mar it completely as well.

"Stone is a miracle of nature. No two quarries are alike and all stones vary within the same quarry. The correct selection taxes the skill of the quarryman. A quarry is like a book written in a strange language - it must be studied to be understood."

One of the favorite gimmicks of Business Administration lecturers is the well-known story about the NASA discovery that the pens given to the first astronauts refused to write in space. Following the conclusion that the ink couldn’t defy the laws of non-gravity, it was decided to develop a pen working on other principles. After 10 years of research and an expenditure of around $12 million, NASA succeeded in developing a pen that works in any condition. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

One of the grandiose ideas Israel has “amused” herself with over 60 years of existence is the Seas Canal Project to connect the Dead Sea with the Mediterranean: studying the subject a bit, checking out alternatives, listening for reactions - in Israel, the world, the neighbors - but never really daring to implement it. And not without good reason. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

Delving into the professional activity of one of the largest bodies in the Israeli building market may be construed as “favoritism”, and for good reason. While it focuses upon building in the military camps, the IDF Building Center is also one of the most influential bodies in Israeli architecture. The reason is that, in order to conduct its various roles, the Center has to hire civilian architects, who are a conduit for an exchange of knowledge and experience between the military and the civilian market. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

Abba Elhanani uniquely combined rational thought and love of art into a special creative mixture, often adding artists and colleagues to his work with no fear they would “steal the show” .If there is any building to express his architectural approach, it is the President’s Residence: local, up-to-date, abundant with works of art, and controversial. by Maria Polidoro

What prevents new areas from becoming an integral part of the city? What does a traditional city have that is lacking in new cities such as Modi'in, the Eastern Docklands in Amsterdam or even Brasilia, all planned by well known architects? by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

If Winka Dubbeldam didn’t proclaim that she had begun her way as a sculptress, it could be difficult to understand why all her projects place form so prominently in front of the content. However, in a world where you do not exist if you do not have a form, an artistic talent is an advantage, especially when you also have something to say and an abundance of fans eager to listen. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

The human aspect of architecture is multifaceted; this article does not relate to the central one - ergonometrics, which concerns the application of human dimensions to architecture, but rather to the human aspect as a productive element of architecture, that is: the ways in which architectural spaces gain their true meaning in the presence of their inhabitants. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

An in-depth analysis of the generic principles embedded in any process may contribute to an understanding of the dichotomy characteristic of the architectural world. A world aspiring to stability on the one hand, yet leaving enough space, on the other, for surprising random evolution. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

Today, when technology calls us to challenge the powers of nature, our sense of danger has become blunted. Only few are aware of the energies below, above and around us. The choice of a building site is mainly based on land values, availability of services and vehicular accessibility. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

The change from planning with the aid of the computer to planning by means of the computer is a significant development in contemporary architecture. Parametric design, in use from the beginning of the 90s, enables the user to produce 3D files, combining 2D files into comprehensive rendering. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

This article was written after much hesitation, not for fear of the Mafiosi’s power, but rather to avoid free publicity to commercial bodies. We have therefore delineated clear restrictions whereby the projects that illustrate the following pages, express a reasonable balance between commercial promotion and artistic expression. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

I have no doubt that Mario Botta, whose buildings adorn many sites worldwide, knows what makes good architecture. However, the Cymbalista Center, functionally considered one of the worst buildings on campus, indicates that the architect's ability to distinguish between the crucial and the marginal was somewhat faulty. It seems as if the key question lies in the difference between 'knowledge' and 'awareness'. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

It is discussed, people guess it has to do with computers, that it is the latest advance in architecture, that there is no faculty of architecture which doesn’t devote a course to it. However, when we asked twenty architects what "digital architecture” was, the answers ranged from "I have never heard of such a term" to "It must have something to do with CAD software". A lecturer in a well known architecture school said, "It’s probably something that students lacking architectural talent made up to confuse us". by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

The point of departure is the incessant struggle among all the architectural users for control over the in-between spaces. This struggle is a cornerstone of ‘dialectic materialism’ - a basic term in the Marxist approach claiming that the components of the environment, by struggling with each other, affect the way in which the world is perceived. by Architect Dr. Ami Ran

The alarming evidence of global warming definitely accentuates our denigrating relation to nature. “Green” pressure has introduced knee-jerk reactions such as recycling bottles, proposals to immobilize vehicles or to produce fuel from cow dung, while the building industry which wastes between 40 to 60% of all energy resources is left aside. |
