This
is completely different from modernism. No more straight line, no more
minimalism, and ornament come in to place. Expressionism building have a very unqiue
style, it doesn’t look boring anymore. The form and shapes is expressing the
emotional feeling of the architect to the people, illustrate they feel through the
building form. So in this period you will see that the buildings start to have
curve line, for example Geotheanum 1 and 2, designed by Rudolf Steiner. He has express his architecture by using curved line
to create the movement. This building is made up of concrete which create the
smooth texture.
Another
interesting building called Einstein Tower, design by Eric Mendelsohn. I
think this building look a bit weird but still have a very interesting element.
This is another building that has very difficulties in the construction. The
exterior was all concrete, and it is not easy at all to make the concrete to
become smooth and have no crack on it. Compared these two type of architect,
the modernism is a lot easier to construct.
TWA building in NY, is also one of the
important building in expressionism period. I saw this building before during
my Structure lecture by aj Komthat. The form of this building was inspired by
the bird’s wing. The concept of TWA is that, Eero wants to express the feeling
of the bird flying back to its nest.
In conclusion, I think expressionism is
more interest in idea and the construction. I don’t think that modernism need
hard work in construction because most of it is just a geometry form, nothing
fancy compare to expressionism, that have a curved concrete wall, or organic
shape. I think I prefer more of expressionism. I like the idea of express the
feeling by using the architecture to communicate to the people.
