Architecture at MSA is well-recognised and I am eager to further my studies there because of my reliance towards its performance, which is consistently ranked amongst the best in UK. MSA made my decision reasonable with the features and benefits such as collaboration and assistance run by MMU and the University of Manchester. This will benefit from the high experience, particularly in respect of considerable resources, expertise in teaching and research available in both institutions. All of these will provide a well–rounded education in architecture and can offer excellence in teaching and learning. Strong links with architectural practice in the Northwest and architectural practitioners will help me to explore international contemporary architecture.
The recent exhibition that I have visited was Norman Foster and Partner exhibition at KLCC in 2013. The exhibition contained a comprehensive overview of Foster's lifetime of incredible work from a series of incredible models to stunning renderings. There also showed comprehensive review of the remarkable process Foster and Partners uses to formulate their work. This exhibition encourages me to thrive in dynamic and creative manner to produce works of architecture that goes beyond form and function. Norman Foster attended the University of Manchester's school of architecture in 1956, so I believed that MSA can help me to be a professional architect like him.
My favourite architect is Frank Lloyd Right. He was an American architect who designed more than 1000 structures and has completed 532 works. All his works were underpinned by a belief system that buildings should be at one with their environment, their form should grow with the needs of the client and that site. He also wants the floor plan, structural materials, and the use of the building to be all together in harmony. During a long life, one of the most striking and iconic buildings in the USA is the Falling water, a house poised above a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania. It was designed to live with the waterfalls, make them as a part of life and not just to look at them now and then.
A work of architecture which I would like to experience in person is Arcosanti. Arcosanti is a work by Paolo Soleri with a concept of arcology, architecture sympathetic to ecology by a construction technique called earth casting. He chose the idea Cosanti means “Against Things” leads to an understanding of anti-materialist stance. Arcosanti embodies Soleri's urban ideals are to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment and demonstrating a positive response to the many problems of urban civilization. I want to personally experience the natural element of earth without any distractions and natural disasters. My proposition is urban implosion rather than explosion.
