Masks of image

Image has a long history in the production of architecture. From the early period where the image of nature has used to produce architecture to the image of machine in the modern movement and currently in the post-digital era where the image is the main design tools to start with. Nowadays the image can be everything such as everyday objects, historical references, archetypal forms, texture, facial expression, etc. Each image carries with itself form, silhouette, color, material, shape, composition, etc as its formal qualities. By employing these formal attributes and properties of images and fusing them with architectural entities we can produce new architectural objects that unify different formal qualities in one element. This formal exploration will provide a new form of pedagogy for utilizing the image in architecture which is different from the cut and paste approach.
