Building Property

Apartments and offices into one complex, or building property built in an integrated manner, is thought to be the development trend of the real estate business for years to come. We see that the current trends are in demand. Many apartment buildings have not been finished, but because of the location and merged into one office complex, many are interested and it sold very quickly.

Such interest is also shown in the company's sale of the apartment. In three years, two of the three towers (towers) apartments have been sold. Indications are that the benchmark companies in developing business properties. That's what we see, if the project reaches the target. Another indication is the location. Therefore, people want to find a place that was close but no traffic congestion.

Trends in Architecture

"Trends in Architecture" is usually used as a benchmark for future development of the property. Context is sometimes ingested the general public as a move to impose their preferences for building models of property in accordance with expectations. The reason why the building is declared following a certain style trend is sometimes regarded as a point clear determination of the attitude of the adherents.



This context is sometimes not necessarily be understood in depth by the wearer himself, for which he understood was to follow the trend. This is reasonable because the name 'trend' has sides subjective. Minimalist architecture trends in the past few years could boom even euphoria model for the new property. But along with the changing times in which the contents of issues has shifted from functionality to the essence of humanism and environmental issues, whether minimalist trend is still selling well in 2010?

First interesting to take a look at the history of the early development of the theory of minimalist style in the west at the beginning of the 19th century, in this case in the International Style. Style developments that took place between the time of the International Style with the modern middle is still not free from the influence of several prominent avant-garde style. These figures such as Le Corbusier (France), Walter Gropius (German), Mies Van der Rohe (Germany) and JP Oud (Dutch). In conclusion, their styles are: Humanism, Expressionism and idealism. International Style was also influenced by the style of functionalism.

There are some basic principles to recognize typical building properties using the International Style is:

1. The first principle can be seen in the character of the architecture of the International Style is a non-impression volume. Effects of a static mass and solidity is still important but began to disappear. In the new buildings next only found 'effects' volume or rather the character of the surface that encloses the volume.

2. The second principle that can be identified in the International Style was reguralitas. Model reguralitas there are Gothic patterns. As known Gothic significantly with regular rhythm. These areas have the appearance of many of the elements of repetition, both of which occurred on the windows, structure and ornament.

3. The third principle is the avoidance of wear visible decoration. Heritage style that developed in the 18th century ornate decorative becoming obsolete. Overview of the inception of the concept of minimalism in the west and attempted adopted in other countries. As a result the rise of property models that are essential and functional. Elementary geometric forms without ornament or decoration to his character.

Some time passed and then emerged from the statement is that the user's style minimalist style but with maximal price. The statement above as well as a common question about the presence of a minimalist model. Controversy over the fact that I might happen to be a "scandal" confusion between the practice and theory. Minimalist model can be philosophically meaningful way of living an honest, simple, practical, and implement something that is just building and functional course essential both in aesthetics, space, shape and structural. Let us take a simple example assuming the grassroots community as a picture of "minimalist" style..

Healthy Simple House actually apply the same philosophy that is minimizes everything, model designs are varied. Price RSS was in reality not necessarily cheap. This means that practically all-minimal model that does not mean a reduction of the cost. There are some things that are standard for a building so that the "bad" if you can not say "can not" to be reduced, for example, the main structure, an area the size of a particular space and some particular ornaments for adjusting the demands of the local climate. The only thing that can be offered is finishing. Finishing can use inexpensive materials impressive luxury to downsize, or can also use expensive materials so impressed by the classy because the demands of prestige.

The framers of the trend and then try to see again what the point of disruption in the minimalist style. In fact we live in a tropical area so that the building should automatically adjust. A key feature is the canopy of tropical building a long and stretches along the wall, thus providing protection or full shade on the physical building from extreme weather tropical climate. Full shade means complete comfort in buildings, clearly not practical in the original construction, but practically to his future, less maintenance and low cost. Style minimalist building not support protection against extreme weather tropical climate.

Finally then what minimalist trend shift into the next trend is not simply due to the incompatibility of the building to offer hope for a more efficient, cheaper and more simple, but also because of the demands of awareness of life in harmony with nature, especially in the tropics are now allegedly start affected by global warming.

From the various opinions on the emerging architecture design, end concepts ecological approach much scrutiny. At its core is approaching architectural design issues with emphasis on building harmony with natural behavior, starting from the founding until the age of the building out. The building as a human shield to be comfortable for the occupants, in harmony with the natural behavior, efficient resource tapped and friendly to nature.

The concept of returning to nature is termed as green architecture or green architecture. Green Architecture is a building design process in reducing the adverse environmental impact, improve human comfort with increased efficiency and reduced resource use, energy, land use, waste management effectively, in terms of architecture. Green architecture is an approach to building that can minimize various harmful effects on human health and the environment. Green architecture includes more than a building.

The ultimate goal is to create a green architecture eco design, green architecture, natural architecture and sustainable development. Interesting for us to know that this concept in fact already been done by our ancestors with the evidence of traditional architecture all admit it is very in tune with the natural character.

Green architecture practiced by increasing the efficiency of energy, water, and materials, reducing building impacts on health through the layout, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings. Utilizing renewable resources such as using sunlight through passive solar and active solar, and photovoltaic techniques using plants and trees through green roofs and rain gardens. The concept of green architecture strongly supports energy saving program.

Tropical-style house with a lot of openings, formed to reduce the use of air conditioning is also lighting the principles of green architecture in the tropics. However, it will not run smoothly if the house is not beautiful surroundings. Aperture will only put a lot of hot air and make the owner kept his air conditioner. By him that the yard needs revegetated with any crop, the soil surface is not covered with concrete and apply a strict waste management.

In terms of interior, green architecture requires decoration and furniture should not be excessive, better sanitary ware, kitchen clean, energy efficient design, ease of clean water, a vast amount of space as needed, quality building materials and construction is stronger, and running water. To address the waste bins independently, biopori hole can be a solution.

Finally, the trend actually has a temporary nature, susceptible to change and though lost forgotten moment while the building will be used by the owner so long even in his entire life. The building could be a symbolic identity, the history of his own life, the value of personality and even their offspring.

Therefore for developers building properties, it is necessary to consider the style of the building is to be developed. Because this will also affect the price and profit from property investment.
