RE: Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

in Architecture+Design2 years ago (edited)

This is much appreciated my friend @charsdesign. Certainly, when it comes to the subject matter of beauty, we both are constantly presented with a myriad of challenges due to the close relationship between our professions: architecture and graphic design. Producing authentic beauty in our proposals, presentations, and projects typically becomes easy when our clients are surely pleased with our visual inclinations. On the contrary, problems do happen when their personal masterpieces get bombarded by unwanted criticisms from others, sometimes going to the extent of being disrespected, degraded, or ridiculed. These occurrences not only devalue the customer but also directly impacts the original creators of these works. A depressing reality indeed!

Moreover, because the design principles of the Bauhaus Movement (precursor of modern design) have positively influenced your career, I'm not surprised by your great choice of the EuroTours Travel Company in Austria. This building's concept and architectural character lean more toward the international style, exhibiting simple geometric shapes, rounded corners, flat features, and long lines of windows, without the need for elaborate ornamentation - prevalent in the said edifice. Similarly, the urban architecture of the city of Amman in Jordan likewise reflects this distinctive application of its design principles: low-cost, practical, and efficient.

Finally, I'm delighted that in your years of professional dealings with various works, you found a practical and non-stressful solution to counteract the so-called "client-dictated designs". In fact, I also follow your effective method of requesting project briefs or orientations from clients to provide me with some ideas of what they envision for their dream buildings. At the end of the day, their ultimate happiness, satisfaction, and positive experiences are what matter the most. 👍😊
