why I want to study
architecture at MSA;
With the continuous abundance of information, greater demand
and faster production, which mark our increasingly connected world, quality of
things that we put out in the world can quickly decrease. Every individual
contributes to the shape of our society and appearance of everyday life, however
architects are even more involved in the process of the latter, and are as such
presented with greater responsibility but also with greater opportunity to
design the visual aspects of our days in a way that adds to and heightens the
quality. I wish to study architecture at Manchester School of Architecture because
it is considered one of the best in the world and is therefore a place where I
can learn as much as possible, improve and consequently be able to mould my intent
into actual design, become a better co-creator of our world. The way people
describe Manchester as a city, with adjectives such as lively, diverse, vibrant
continuously used, I believe its culture, atmosphere and history can all enrich
the experience of studying, provide opportunities and offer inspiration.
my own
review of a building I have visited;
The National and University Library of Slovenia is located
in the centre of Slovenia’s capital city Ljubljana. The outer façade
is made of bricks and stone blocks, with convex windows resembling open books. When
a visitor walks through the great door, his attention is shifted upwards, where
the light enters the central hallway through the windows of the main reading
room, illuminating marble columns and staircase and symbolising library’s central
thought, "From the twilight of ignorance to the light of knowledge and
enlightenment". The main reading room stirs a feeling of appreciation and solemnity
with the high ceiling, two large walls of windows and chandeliers. Longitudinal
rows of chairs and table lamps give an impression of monumentality and might.
a statement about my
favourite building;
The above described National and University Library I
certainly consider to be one of my favourite buildings, especially for the stories
it tells not only through kept books, but also through symbolism and atmosphere
it creates. St Paul's cathedral has also made a very big impression on me as it
so majestically and proudly stands amidst modern London, with the Millennium Bridge
leading spectator’s gaze to it considered one of my favourite sights.
a work of
architecture I would like to experience in person;
Dominus winery by Herzog & de Meuron in California.
Usage of stone highlights vineyard’s connection and dependency on soil, making
it seem like the building grew from land, while filling the interior by day and
the surroundings by night with spectacular shadows, creating both intriguing ambience
and a sense of transparency.
