This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. Instead of a quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.ĭivisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web. ![]() banners, pop-ups or other distracting noise. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. ![]() So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally. He is making most of his time working on his projects with a lot of dedication and unstoppable energy.May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."Ĭontent that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2. He has been a keynote speaker at the ABN Amro symposium (1990) the Ouaternario conference in Singapore (1991) the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) Fifth World Congress (1995) CTBUH World Congress Dubai (2009) CTBUH World Congress Chicago (2011) CTBUH World Congress Shanghai (2012) and has also lectured in Frankfurt, London, Buenos Aires, Notre Dame, Amsterdam, Prague, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul, New York, Chicago and Washington DC among other locations.Īdrian Smith has been a registered architect in twelve states of the USA and his designs have won him more than 125 awards which include 5 international, 9 national and 3 Urban Land Institute Awards for excellence. Smith has always had great interest in international projects and very actively took part in all the development programs he could get his hands on. ![]() ![]() Smith’s this technique has opened up new dimensions in the field of architecture and led to the proposal of new philosophy in architectural world called Global Contextualism. This not only aids the energy but also lessens the dependency of buildings on the local infrastructure. In order to make sustainable buildings with less energy and more efficiency he designs buildings in such a way that they absorb more and more energy from natural resources including sunlight, wind and geothermal conditions thus producing energy for projects on the respective sites. During the course of some recent years he has adopted a new design approach of producing energy “on site”. Since the major goal for all of his projects is to achieve the environmental sustainability so he puts so much attention to location, climate, geographical, geological, cultural, and social influences of site. He focuses majorly on the physical features of each of his design. With evolution in the world of technology he is up to the integration of regional techniques and industrial methods for his designs. Smith has great passion for the use of vernacular and indigenous forms and compositions and this can be seen in his work as well.
