Visual Graphic Breakdown

Zaha Hadid Architects style of Architecture is very pronounce and unique in its own way. They have designed many wonderful and well known structures such as the Guangzhou Opera House and the MAXXI Museum etc and have won alot of awards as well. Although it is not a poster, it is a piece of very clear visual graphic image of the Guangzhou Opera House that seems to be made for presentation purposes. This type of image is made for selling ones ideas or used in general meetings and could just plainly be used for ordinary presentations. As for the Guaugzhou Opera House that i have researched, it had been shortlisted for the RIBA Lubetkin Prize.

 

This natural piece of structural building is very nice as it contains wide, bright, Chambers that are dedicated for Opera and perfomances. The image that have been chosen manage to capture the form and structure of the building very accurately. So basically the first thing we the audience see, when looking at this piece of graphic design, would be straight to the building as it stands out above the rest of the picture.

 

 Any piece of Architecture should always conform to the surrounding environment and other elements that come together to make it whole and suiting.

 

 

A brief representatino about the Guangzhou Opera House:

 

It is basically a structure that rises and falls at the fot of the Zhujiang Boulevard, confirming Guangzhou as one of Asia's cultural centres.

Bringing together two adjacent sites for the proposed Museum and metropolitan activities, it forms an adjunct to the Haixinsha Tourist Park Island and a dominant riverside focus for visitors. Viewed from the park at the centre of Zhujiang Boulevard, the Opera House creates a visual prelude to the Tourist Park Island beyond. Viewed from the river, the towers of Zhujiang New Town provide a dramatic backdrop to the Opera House and offer a unified vision of the setting’s civic and cultural buildings. An approach promenade is cut into the landscape – an internal street beginning at the proposed Museum site at the opposite side of the central boulevard and leading to the Opera House. To one side of this promenade, a cafe, bar, restaurant and retail facilities are embedded shell-like into the landforms. Visitors arriving by car or bus are set down at a ‘drop-off’ point on the north side of the site on Huajiu Road, while service vehicles access the Opera House and Theatre Buildings at either end of the same road. VIP access to the Opera House is from the western boundary, facing Huaxia Road.
