SYMMETRY

THE SYMMETRY



The Symmetry search the sense of harmonious, proportionality and balcance in a shape.
When we say "that is a symmetric picture" we can check it in this way:
Flexing the picture by half,  both sides must be similar.

That's an example, I founded in google:

Aspire tower

Name: Aspire Tower

Localization: Doha, Qatar

Design: Modern

Construction: 2005-2007

Inauguration: November 2007

Architect: Hadi Simaan

Structural engineer: Arup

Shape: It’s an irregular shape as a thin cylinder 

Height

Architectural     300 m (980 ft.)

Top floor             238 m (781 ft.)

Observatory      238 m (781 ft.)

Technical details

Floor count        36

Floor area           35,000 m2 (380,000 sq. ft.)

Elevators             17

Characteristics: The tower was a symbol of the 2006 Asian Games because of its size and closeness to the Khalifa International Stadium. In the tower we could find the Asian Games flame during the games and it holds the record for the tallest games flame, which was visible throughout Doha for the duration of the games. The design uses a concrete centre which is the main support. The rest of the building is a steel structure that stands out from the concrete centre. The exterior of the building is covered in a steel net which, during the Asian Games, was  illuminated by intense LED lights.

The final form consists of a 1-to-1.8 meter thick concrete cylinder (the centre), between 12-18 meter in diameter, surrrounded by networks of steel posts on each floor of the building modules. 

The designer, Simaan, has described the structure as "a celebration of earth and sky" saying that, "the structural steel struts that brace the structure back to the core also act as visual forces which create energy radiating from the center in a centrifugal rise." One of the most interesting characteristics of the tower is the broadcast of videos which was completed around an 8 meter section of the tower; this was done with the use of Philips technology.

The building was finished in November 2007 with a final cost of €133,395,000.

This hotel stand out of the rest and it has a special quality: in the back of the structure there are two ledges, in each side, this ledges make the structure more resistant and less heavy because the air that pass through this ledges cut the air, so, in this zone of the building, the wind is very strong and fast.

Van Gogh`s Blossoming Almond Tree

Almond Tree, represents much of what Vincent often thought about: rebirth. Trees blooming and flowering announces the beginning of spring and new life.

Like many of Van Gogh’s paintings, Blossoming Almond Tree has an influence from Japanese prints. Van Gogh collected and admired Japanese artists and used ideas such as bold color, dark outlines, and the beauty of nature in his work.

In fact, Almond Blossoms are several paintings made in 1880 and 1890.
