Photo of Something Beautiful

Hagia Sophia (Istanbul, Turkey)

This is a picture of the domed ceilings inside Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. Istanbul is the capital of Turkey and is full of rich culture including its remarkable historic architecture. Everything about the eastern European city is captivating, one of the landmarks being; Hagia Sophia, a former Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later a mosque and now a museum. It is famous in particular for its massive dome and considered as the epitome of Byzantine architecture, it is said to have changed the history of architecture. As much as the grand yellow walls and domes caught my attention, I could not help but wonder how many people had gone in and out of this structure through the centuries, with so many different beliefs, opinions, emotions and how it influenced them as people over the years. Even though I am not a believer, I find this Hagia Sophia beautiful, as every corner of this space has a unique story to share. 

A Great Piece of Architecture

The Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

“God is in the details.”- Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

The Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is an icon of 20^th century architecture. The pavilion’s design is based on a formulaic grid system that was developed by Mies himself. The system serves as the arrangement of the travertine pavers as well as the core framework that the walls work within. The low flat roof that emerges to float over the interior stresses the low horizontal orientation and exterior, this is because of the rise on a plinth in unification with the narrow profile of the site itself. The interior of the pavilion encourages movement with framed views by Mies. The movement through the slender passage open into a larger volume, causing the viewer to discover, rediscovers and experience new perspectives and details that were concealed earlier. 

Piece of Creative Work

All In My Head

The concept of this sculpture is based on the theme ‘Nirvana’, which I followed through out my two years of high school. The glazed, marbled hemisphere with a hole on top goes on top of the paper mache sculptures. In my culture, the philosophy of the physical structure of a human being created by clay is very common hence I used two different clays and gave it a marble effect to represent the good and the bad and how we, humans are made of both. The paper mache sculptures represent the 7 deadly sins found in the world’s major religions. Through this piece of work I wanted to represent how it plays with ones consciousness. They are all expressed with euphoric appearances, as most people tend to hide much of their actions through their expression of joy. The head itself is placed in the middle represents ones consciousness and it is surrounded by representations of the 7 deadly sins which include; pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger/wrath, sloth and greed.
