Wojciech Odrobina-Urban Planning

The purpose of architecture is to meet material needs: shelter the various activities of man. It is an art insofar as it adds some beauty to the realization of this practical purpose. The architectural monuments are different according to their purpose, technique and aesthetics.

An architectural type is an expression that describes a formal structure. The type is conceptual in nature, not objective in nature: it brings together a family of objects that have all the same essential conditions. The type has a description by which it is possible to recognize the objects that compose it. The type refers to the formal structure, we talk about types from the moment we recognize the existence of structural similarities between architectural objects.

Architecture is one of the oldest arts of civilization. Along with making tools or crafts, it often lingers as ruins long after a specific culture has disappeared. In addition, in its forms and ornaments the distinctive mark of those who devised it is imprinted, its style being representative of each town and each culture.

In general lines, the architectural works are appreciated for being:

Habitable: Useful to the daily life of the human being.

Durable: Permanent and immobile, since it is a question of buildings or spaces.

Representative: the architect’s cultural vision is contained in its forms.

Wojciech Odrobina Type of Architect

Architecture serves, in general, to modify spaces and build buildings that protect us from the elements (rain, cold, heat, wind, etc.). In that sense, an architect is useful for:

Plan, design and lead the construction of buildings that house different types of human trades, from homes to factories or offices.

Plan and design the public space of cities, to beautify the urban environment, to facilitate traffic or to solve specific problems.

Diagnose and reformulate human buildings that are deteriorated to extend their life or, if necessary, to erect a new building.

Design the location of parks, squares and other forms of plant presence within the city.

Architecture can be studied and classified from numerous points of view, such as historical, cultural or functional. Broadly speaking, let’s define the following three classifications:

According to its functionality. That is, according to the task with which it is built.

Religious architecture. One whose works have worship functions, such as churches, temples, mystical monuments, etc.

Military architecture. The one that proposes buildings of strategic, tactical or defensive use, such as castles, walls, barracks, etc.

Civil architecture. The one that conceives structures and spaces for the use of ordinary citizens: from houses and buildings, to squares and civic monuments or cultural spaces (theaters, libraries, schools, etc.).

According to its construction technique. That is, according to the criteria that governs construction.

Stylistic or historical architecture. The one that connects with the tradition from which it comes and that has produced traditional, durable pieces, using inherited methods and imagery.

Wojciech Odrobina Type of Architect

Popular architecture. Constructions made by the people themselves, such as artisans or people with little education, using natural materials and generally without major aspirations of greatness.

Common or vulgar architecture. That carried out by professionals of the area obeying a merely pragmatic criterion, that is, of use and functionality, without taking into account mainly an architectural tradition.

Wojciech Odrobina – Types of architecture Have you ever looked at a building and wondered if it is Bauhaus or Modernist? Often the types of architecture and their styles build on each other, and in each past period the foundation for the advancement of the next culture is built. Just think of the lasting influence of the Egyptian pyramids or classical Greek temples. An architectural type is an expression that describes a formal structure. * The type is conceptual in nature, not objective in nature: it brings together a family of objects that possess all the same essential conditions. * The type has a description by which it is possible to recognize the objects that compose it. * Type refers to formal structure, we speak of types from the moment we recognize the existence of structural similarities between architectural objects. One of the best definitions that we know of the idea of ​​existing classes or types of architecture comes from a literary text: Victor Hugo in his novel Notre-Dame de Paris: «Great buildings, like great mountains, are the work of centuries . Art is often transformed when it is not yet finished: the work continues peacefully according to the transformed art. The new art brings the monument to where it is. It is done following a natural and silent law. This is what happens in the type of European religious architecture during the Christian era. Whatever the development of the sculptor and the embroidery of a cathedral below, it is always the Roman basilica that develops eternally on the ground according to the same law. The internal skeleton, the logical arrangement of the parts, of which Hugo speaks. It is something that is at the very root of architecture and the styles that comprise it. That is why it always remains and reappears in its different manifestations. The superposition of different styles in the same monument is not evidence of the interchangeable character of the styles, the style links architecture with history.

In reality, architecture is an excellent combination of knowledge, which allows the specialized person, in this case, the architect, to delve into the needs of people and translate them into projects that mean spaces for their development, such as Example: houses, offices, shops, industries, recreation, culture, services dedicated to health, whether public or private, and all kinds of buildings with different uses and functions. Tools offered by the architecture: Therefore, architecture is a profession that gives the architect the tools to capture what is needed in terms of: – Functioning – Quantity – Spatial quality of the environments Having, in some cases, specialize in certain types of projects, which require it, so that they can comply with the special rules and characteristics that they must have, such as, for example, sanitary, urban planning or landscaping projects. The role of the architect: In this type of profession, the architect is capable of modifying the context in which life unfolds, improving with his designs and constructions the habitat of those who have trusted his skills and techniques to make it so.

Wojciech Odrobina Virtual architecture The virtual architecture is one that exists in the digital plane and is not affected by the time factor. The constructions are developed in a digital support. Nor is it affected by gravity or by climatic or geological phenomena and is spared the imagination of the architect. The objects and spaces that are part of the virtual architecture are manipulated, visualized and constructed in 3 dimensions with an architectural purpose. The virtual has its own rules and notions. The three-dimensional is what generates the movement from the same image. Virtual constructions allow scale modifications. You can even work on two different scales simultaneously. It is possible to move inside or outside the building. It can be transported through different regions in cyberspace. You can modify the characteristics of the enclosures, such as color, texture and flexibility. You can perform several tests such as opening and closing doors, turning the light on or off, an internal sound, such as the telephone ringing, can be located. Virtual architecture also allows us to visualize restored works that have been damaged by weather or wind erosion. In addition, we can observe designs that can be built in the future. The virtual architecture is constantly growing, with new applications and tools.

Wojciech Odrobina – Underground architecture Underground architecture what is it? Also known as buried, troglodytic or excavated architecture, underground architecture is characterized by the adaptation of natural spaces to be inhabited by humans for a long time. Let’s know more about this type of architecture. The underground architecture is responsible for designing and placing buildings below ground level so that they are buried. It is a type of discrete architecture, as it is almost imperceptible, compared to houses built on the ground. The excavated, troglodytic or buried underground architecture is part of the bioclimatic architecture. The latter seeks to obtain comfortable constructions from the use of the sun, the location and the thermal mass. The underground architecture also stands out for the use of local natural resources. Thus, the thermal comfort (to achieve a warm space in winter and cool in summer) of the house is achieved by optimizing the temperature of the ground, making use of the thermal inertia of the same. In addition, the facade and door of the construction is usually oriented towards the sun to benefit from its luminosity. For all this, these homes do not usually need additional heating or cooling appliances. The interior temperature of the house is around the average annual air temperature of the area in which it is located. Therefore, according to the more hours of sun it receives, the higher the average temperature inside the home.

Wojciech Odrobina The inevitable population growth and insufficient urban planning force large cities and their inhabitants to think of increasingly reduced housing solutions. Therefore, and for the best use and design of the space we present these 5 premises to detect poorly zoned spaces and generate integral solutions based on the European environmental trend cocooning: – Group spaces with similar functions. Social spaces such as room, dining room and kitchen do not strictly need walls to frame privacy. Under this premise, depending on the space, flexible or sliding walls can be used depending on the level of privacy necessary for different schedules.

-Hallways, circulations and cross ventilation. The simplest resolutions will always be the ones that need less space. However, the correct arrangement, use and balance of natural factors such as wind and sun, are necessary to generate a really pleasant space, in addition to reducing the carbon footprint.

Wojciech Odrobina – the vision of a leader who is an architect of spaces to bring out creativity, and that of an organization as an architectural work of creativity – Wojciech Odrobina

All architectural works must be based on solid foundations so that the construction is sustained, maintained and can be seen.

Wojciech Odrobina – Know some foundations of creativity

Foundation 1: Creativity is everywhere

The idea of ​​a creative class emerges with more and more force, as a group of people who have in common the need to express their identity, their inner world and their ideas. That class of people who have their own very consolidated criteria, and apply it in the implementation of projects, problem solving, and the generation of products and services.

Wojciech oprobian comments that they are usually people who like to have spaces to be alone and also spaces to share with very diverse people.

Foundation 2: It all starts with the imagination of the best it could be.

Innovation is nourished by creativity, and creativity by imagination. We need to generate actions that provoke inspiration, to awaken our imagination.

We have to allow ourselves to dream an ideal, and surround it with all the ideas that come to mind, turn them around, contemplate them from different points of view, expand them, improvise, think of impossible possibilities, make combinations, connections, get out of the box.

Wojciech Odrobina – innovation is to generate or find ideas, select them, implement them and commercialize them.- Wojciech odrobina

An architect may think that this innovation is very good for some companies, which may earn money from the innovation. It is reasonable to ask yourself a question: is it really worth it for an architect to dedicate himself to innovating?

The answer begins by changing the verb. The important thing is to BE innovative, not dedicate yourself to innovation. The second question we ask ourselves is that the field of knowledge to which we are dedicated is so vast

Wojciech Odrobina – in what will we architects be innovative?

na of the formulas to generate added value in projects of all kinds is through innovation, and when verifying that the perceived value when innovating in architectural design is limited and that the range of travel is not very large, it seems clear that for the set of the profession, that we remember that it is massive, it is convenient to look for other levers to activate innovation in Architecture.

Wojciech Odrobina comments that We could start to be innovative in technical aspects. There is a vast field to improve efficiency, by redefining, restructuring or applying new models of work processes.

The concept of low-cost, which means having low prices because you have low costs, without suffering the benefits, has not been applied to our activity and the possibilities are undoubtedly great. Another line that generates enormous possibilities is the use of the internet and new technologies to generate differentiation and value.
