Breaking the rules

Personally, i think that Art is a form of freedom,creativity and hard work. However,there are rules that applies to art too especially for my major, 3DD Interior and exhibition. For example,the materials we use have to compensate with the structure,the broadness of the base have to compensate with the broadness of the top of a building and so on. All these comes back to the laws of Physics and art .

In fact, since young,we were already being guide to colour in the outlines of an object and not to go out of it's boundary. 

But what can make an artwork special and unique ? Something out of the box and definitely an eye catching one. On this post,I'm going to show you a examples of designer and architects breaking the rules of art and definitely did not regret the decision they made.

 First example is Lasalle College of The Arts Singapore.

As you can see from the picture, Lasalle unique structure is built in a way that it shows you how a structure can be formed in many ways and not having the straight 'rules' and tendency to have just straight up wall perpendicular to the floor. Lasalle structure is built in a way that the some of the walls have concave and some protude out. Something like a liquid flowing in between the two main structure.

LASALLE's campus is an exercise in sheer imagination. Conceptualised and designed by Singapore-based architectural firm, RSP Architects, it represented Singapore in the architectural section of the Venice Biennale in 2004 and won three international architectural awards, PUSH Award 2009, Singapore Institute of Architects; Building of the Year Award 2008, 9th Singapore Institute of Architect’s Design Awards; and President’s Design Award 2008.

Secondly, one of my main inspiration in breaking the laws of design in terms of materials is the recently built car Koenigsegg One:1 .

It is the world's first mega car. With a powerful engine accelerating from 0-400Km/h in just 20 seconds. Yes, 400km/h . 

Behold, the Koenigsegg One:1 

If you realised,what made it so special is that the car is made out of Carbon fibre. Carbon fibre is well recognised in the automotive scene due to its lightweight but high resistance from fire and strong rigid structure capabilities.

And the shot of the car itself.

I strongly believe that the elements put in design should not have any restrictions. Being different is a form of art and freedom. I personally do not think that we should limit ourselves with different elements to compromise on strength or structure. If a piece of element is weak,why not add more layers of it to make it more rigid and stronger ? ;) Think about it.

Therefore, i think that breaking the rules of art is a good way to think out of the box and to fully utilise the meaning 'freedom in art' . 

Be it a painting,drawing,structure,objects or even clothing's we should all break the rules of art and be unique.
