:slow art Good things take time so if you���re looking for a quick thrill, architecture may not be for you GAUDI���S EXTRAORDINARY SAGRADA FAMILIA rising above the Barcelona skyline epitomises architecture at its finest. The cave-like basilica, which began construction in 1883, has cemented itself as one of the world���s greatest structures with its complex and unique (to say the least) spirals and fa��ades. So what does it take to solidify one���s designs in the history books as an iconic member of architecture for centuries to come? While having grand ideas for construction is admirable, architecture requires a high level of perseverance to see a project through from start to finish. It also requires understanding of structural practices to ensure your building doesn���t blow over on the first windy day. And most importantly, you need a dedicated team to make your vision a reality. When Gaudi died in 1926, his masterpiece was only 15-25 percent complete and with a projected completion date of 2028 countless people will have contributed to Sagrada Familia. Perhaps therein lies the secret��� good things take time. Gaudi famously commented ���my client is in no hurry��� however architects in today���s market have a great deal of pressure to complete projects in a timely manner.

Rogelio uses natural materials to construct affordable libraries, community centres and buildings for poor communities. Diana aims to create sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings that have a real purpose in the community. ���When I finished school, I took my skills in art and geometry and started a beginner���s course in architecture to determine whether this was the right career for me. I not only found that it was right for me, it was also a way of giving people in my community better, inexpensive places to live. ���The greatest challenge for designing for environmental sustainability is trying to implement buildings into nature because sometimes architecture and nature, as much as you want it to, will not match.��� Specialising in quality, bespoke residential architecture, Fraser Architecture Ltd aspires to create liveable, beautiful homes.
