#ArchitectureandContext: The epical moment of the Japanese cherry blossoms take the dreamy and fairy-tale like tree house by Terunobu Fujimori to another level altogether. It is impressive to see how the temporality of nature is the single most defining element here, overpowering the experience of architecture, despite the architecture being so outspoken. Sitting within the Kiyoharu Art Village, this teahouse was designed to relax and enjoy views of the blossoms from within. The simple and modern interiors juxtapose the surreal and artful exteriors. Made of Earth,wood and stone, it is supported on a single 80 year old cypress trunk, capable of withstanding extreme weathers. It elevates the structure by 4 metres, allowing seclusion and expansive views of the surrounding trees.

#ArchitectureandContext: Louis Kahn’s masterpiece, the Salk institute, situated along the Pacific coast, stands strong and unaffected after all these years. A thin water channel that bisects the travertine covered plaza, adds a powerful axis to the design. The soft and seamless colour palate of the unfinished concrete and the off-white stone adds a majestic yet pristine feeling to the space.

#ArchitectureandContext: The Louvre-Lens Museum in France situated amid a 20-hectare wasteland, was conceived as part of an international competition by SANAA, in collaboration with Imrey Culbert, Catherine Mosbach and Adrien Gardère. The steel and glass structure is low and easily accessible that integrates into the site without imposing on it. The exterior of the exhibition space is a gently curved facade made of satin aluminum and clear glass that sometimes reflects the surroundings like a mirror and sometimes blurrs it, trying to become one with it. . . . . #architecturephotography #designinnature #exhibitionspace #minimalism #details #aluminium #sanaa #steelandglass #photograpghy https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjCbIMpkxU/?igshid=10tbjomgxzrr4

#ArchitectureandContext: This image of the ‘Comb of the Winds’ sculpted by Eduardo Chillida, is a sublime representation of how nature and art can integrate to appear as one. The sculpture emerges from the rocks where the land and sea meets. Instead of fighting the forces of nature, it allows itself to succumb to it. The rusting and degradation of the Corten steel is symbolic of the passage of time, with the earth,wind and sea playing a pivotal role. When the sea is at its most tempestuous, the waves dance between the claws of the sculpture, challenging the power of the steel to the wind , creating a spectacle. . . . . #eduardochillida #chillidaart #chillidasculpture #chillidaphotography #peinedelviento #landart #scultpure #artandarchitecture #designinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CEeLDwxJ3AY/?igshid=1nggon66nvtoz

#ArchitectureandContext : Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater, cantilevers over a waterfall and lays strong emphasis on the harmony between man and nature. The materiality and construction of the house was meticulously designed to seamlessly blend into its surroundings instead of standing out. Perhaps thats the reason we rarely come across this image of the structure boldly projecting through a blanket of snow covered landscape, giving it a whole new character and definition. . . . . #livinginnature #architecturephotography #housewithaview #designinspiration #architectureandnature #greatestofalltime #context #fallingwater #winterphotography #franklloydwright #franklloydwrighthouse https://www.instagram.com/p/CEbceM8p9Hu/?igshid=1s2m4f6bnz2g8

#ArchitectureandContext: More than often, Architecture is perceived in the media as an object frozen in time. The ideal weather conditions with clear blue skies, and the sun casting the perfect shadows, encapsulate the building’s atmosphere merely at a specific point in time. These images captured in varied atmospheric and unusual conditions, paint a more wholesome image of the building by capturing it in a completely different light. They go beyond, to demonstrate how these structures dramatically change and respond to its dynamic contexts, space and time. . . . . #architecturephotography #architectureandnature #context #inspiration #pictureperfect #capturingbeauty #details #beautyofdesign #buildinginsnow https://www.instagram.com/p/CEY8V5YJQV9/?igshid=13n0qe21utkjz
