Architecture

General designing comment: Finishing schedules for building one designs is usually modified by the construction team during work, according to several reasons which could be avoided by considering a few major factors that are usually ignored, for instance: the geographical location , climate , local culture , domestic building materials , owner's system and usage of the building and their habits. The designer must have adequate knowledge about the above mentioned factors, insufficient knowledge provides the construction team with the reasons to modify the design and nothing else.

But in the above pictures, as you see, he has columns with no skirting on the floor. He could at least have a 10cm. copper plate for skirting which matched the colors as well.

It seems that the architect is going to do a good job for the columns like the one in the above picture, as there is electric wire on the floor, I assume he wants to work a skirting with lights in it. This will look fine.

As you see in the above picture: When you enter, the first thing that catches your eyes on the floor is flowerboxes that are filled with scallop shells and just in the same level with the floor !? I have a comment on this: Why is the surface of flowerboxes leveled with floor in a shopping center, where people looking at the shops might not mention and find themselves inside them? Why should you fill them with scallop shells when you're in a seaside city? Why not plant flowers in them? Why wouldn't you build them in a higher level? And then you could have it with a round shape that matches the design.

Some more photos of shopping center for you to judge.

Rectangular base for round columns.

Architecture-----Ghassemee Last night I visited a newly finished shopping center and I thought it better be said something about the job. I begin from the entrance: As you approach the building you'll face a couple of steps to climb reaching the entrance, seating on the first step are 2 round columns but with rectangular 60cm. skirting with sharp edges to be watched and 2 flowerboxes on the both sides, again rectangular with sharp edges to be aware of (40 cm. high). In the middle with 3 meters wide different color steps are worked 2cm. out that are not made by 10cm. thick stones but tried to look like it by sticking 2cm. thick stones in front of the steps which in a short time some pieces have fallen and revealed the trick. I think the base of columns and front of flowerboxes could be round, which would make it look much nicer. When you climb up the steps on both sides is a round tall glass to enable you see the first shops but in the left side, glass is from the floor and on the other side you'll see 25cm. skirting below the glass of window. You see, we are ignoring some details that are ruining this art.

Architecture-----Ghassemee In a way I say I'm sorry and the other I may be excused for this long absence cause it's all because of projects, but I'm free enough now to write something. I begin with architecture matters which I love so much. Almost all architects looking at a building give points to the architects involved in designing and executing the job but only a few may observe the work carefully focusing on the minor and tiny details of the job, almost pass their eyes carelessly paying no attention to big mistakes in details and that's because our eyes is used to seeing such mistakes more and more as time goes by. What I'm getting to is that bad done details are getting so much that our eyes are getting used to seeing them and the result is ignoring them more and more nowadays. Let's attend tiny details while construction before they ruin this art. Wish you all the best Ghassemee
