Artist Frank O Gehry verses Zaha Hadid


Artist Frank O Gehry and Zaha Hadid’s architectures are amazing architecture in this chapter. They will design the buildings which are very creative and seem attached to present society as they break the matrix about traditional view or form of the architectures.
Their buildings ‘Guggenheim Museum’ and ‘Center for Contemporary Art’ have some similarities. These buildings have been used geometric shapes of the buildings and more than one shape attach to eh building like the squares and rectangle figures attach to the Center for Contemporary Art and flower shape figure attach to the Guggenheim Museum. Their buildings are also placed in areas where huge population lives. Furthermore, rectangular columns inside the building hold up the entire building.
Artist Frank’s architecture ‘Guggenheim Museum’ I place on the river, and long round bridge around or surround the building. Its color is silver, it looks cold image but also, he will cover this image by different forms by different both geometric and non-geometric shapes. Its total appearance looks ‘unfolded flower’ when look it from the sky. By arrangement with several different shapes, it seems unbalanced, and unsafe. In addition, entire building seems shiny as jewelry and provides some its texture of art under the direction and brightness of the light.
Unlike Artist Frank’s architecture ‘Guggenheim Museum’, Artist Zaha’s architecture ‘Center for Contemporary Art’ has two geometric shapes like squares and rectangles. These shapes of the building provide balanced, safe, and comfortable feeling. In other hand, different size of shapes blocking sunlight in some area of the building with long shadow. The glass wall of the Center for Contemporary Art well defines ground floor and gain some energy through it. Artist Zaha has been using the quality of the window.
I want to live in this kind of house in the future if they or somebody add more windows on their buildings. The design of buildings is very creative and makes my eye fun.
