Freedom of the Architect



What is the limitation imposed on an architect who designs buildings? Perhaps Gravity may be one of them. Cost and time needed to completion of the construction no more stops him. The pictures given above and below are the proof of the same. These are some real examples of the freedom enjoyed by an Architect. These buildings are situated in Shaik Saed Road, Dubai, were every building must be unique and is, and is very tall.






Some more buildings, don’t know what shape it will take on completion.

  1. architects freedom is there, but that is meaningless when no one is there to invest. Investor has his freedom to bend the architects freedom for his money, got it?

  2. I agree with what you said. But investors willingness to invest more for beauty and pride took of that constraints also from the architects. These pictures are the proof I believe. In most of those buildings, the structure you see in the top is unused, 10 or 20 floors height structures are mounted as the doom of these buildings, just to make it beautiful and special.
