A lecture by Professor Alessandro Melis

 Today, I'm going to talk about a topic that's sure to pique your curiosity. Because of Professor Alessandro Melis, I thought it was an intriguing topic to discuss. He did an outstanding job of delivering the talk on the architecture of imperfection. It was interesting to think about how he came to the conclusion that the presence of flaws in architectural design might really contribute to the enhancement of a building's beauty and functionality. His ideas and novel approach to the subject matter held the audience's undivided attention throughout the presentation. 



Professor Alessandro Melis is widely recognised as a leading authority in the world of architecture, and the insights that he has to offer regarding the topic are really intriguing. The audience was left with a lasting impression as a result of his thought-provoking and engaging talk, which was on the topic of the "architecture of imperfection." And connected aspects such as the human skull and a bird's skull—the concept of form following function as it pertains to our subject—were outstanding. 




During his talk, he compares many architectural forms, such as the spandrel, the dome, and various supporting elements like the triangle, to the skulls of humans and birds. Furthermore, Professor Melis emphasised the importance of accepting imperfection in architecture because it can lead to the creation of more innovative and one-of-a-kind designs. The combination of his great knowledge and his passion for the topic produced an outstanding educational opportunity. Furthermore, he emphasised the importance of accepting imperfection in architecture and the ways in which it may provide personality and originality to a structure. 


The presentation was instructive as well as enjoyable due to his use of real-life examples and analogies between man-made structures and natural phenomena. In order to acquire a deeper comprehension of the topic at hand, it is recommended that you read "The Mad Science of Creativity." 

This book investigates the scientific basis of creativity and offers guidance on how to improve one's own creative abilities. Anyone interested in architecture or any other creative field will find this to be an excellent resource. Both the lecture and the book have the potential to motivate architects to come up with creative new designs by getting them to think in new ways. Architects have the ability to innovate new methods and strategies for their job if they have a solid understanding of the science of creativity. The way in which the speaker dealt with the subject matter was both invigorating and interesting, and his enthusiasm for the issue was clear throughout the course of the presentation. In the end, it was a fruitful educational experience that inspired and motivated me to pursue my own artistic endeavours.

  The RSVP Cycle:Creative Processes in the Human Environment  By Lawrence Halprin  My understanding from this reading:  •The RSVP Cycles: Creative Processes in the Human Environment by Lawrence Halprin explores scoring as a way to make processes visible and enable participation.   •The RSVP score makes elements of the creative process visible and seeks to aid communication within artistic collaborations.   •Scores are symbolizations of processes that extend over time, and they are used in various fields of human endeavor, such as dance and theater.   •The book explores street scores, ecological scoring, city scores, and community scores, focusing on the importance of scoring in understanding creative processes and enabling participation.  •The author concludes that the two RSVP cycles are necessary to encompass all human and creative processes.   •The inner cycle is the separate self, while the outer cycle is the colle...

_thinkMake Week-03:reading -02 ( Space is always political)

 Space is always political Melanie Dodd   The idea that "architecture is always political" by Richard Rogers was important during times of housing crises, social displacement, and gentrification. A group called Architecture for Social Housing (ASH) held a protest in 2015 that called for social inequality to be addressed in the built environment and criticized the politics of architecture. People usually think of architecture and spatial practice as being connected to money. But this chapter looks at how spatial activism, short-term interventions, and socially engaged approaches can change social and political outcomes. This chapter talks about how politics shape both space and politics.   The process of redesigning public parks in a city is one example of this. There may be different ideas among interest groups about how the space should be used and organized. This could lead to disagreements, and everyone will need to work together to find a solution. This polit...
