Architecture: regular and irregular visions

Frank O. Ghery's house in Santa Monica

The architect, in this house, surrounding the existing building with a new building, created by poor materials and recovery. Without destroying the old structure, it creates new spaces and new openings, which seem almost polychrome sculptures, which tilt following the sun. From this arise all the features of the first projects in which experiments, using industrial components such as solar panels, corrugated sheets, plywood and sheets of asbestos, in addition to elements that derive from the urban landscape, such as wire mesh, glass plates and panels. Another characteristic of his projects, which stands out for the first time, but will follow up to today is the fusion architecture with other disciplines such as painting, but especially sculpture.
These buildings posed an extraordinary architectural challenge:to resolve the tension between simple,flat surfaces and surfaces which have irregular shapes but also a good features and intresting perspectives as well as other ordinary buildings.
