"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is
art." -Ralph
Waldo Emerson
Taking joy in living is a
woman's cosmetic. Beauty in all forms is an art, an expression of wondrous
gifts. To translate beauty and aesthetics to architecture is yet no peculiar. I
am so blessed to be associated with a friend who practice and nourish this
interest and field. She is Pea Gonzales. A professional hair and make-up artist
in Pampanga. She is the closest woman in my heart. Perhaps our friendship has
lived the cliché proverb: "Birds with same feather flock together."
Appreciation to beauty whether in different form has been the common breathing
ground of our foundation. Pea is behind the successful 10k-IG-followed online
shop: The Make Up Junction and has
discussed her plans of having her own studio after she had countless
professional trainings, classes, and seminars.
The site is strategically
located in Sto. Domingo, Angeles City (beside the LTO Office). Accessible to
different cities and big event venues. The concept is very simple. She wants a
lavishing design that supports the prime essence of the studio: to provide an
astonishing beauty to people. So I had no doubt in designing the studio with a
style that is relative to woman through the curves, twirls, the intricacy of
details, and all its coordinates. As Charles Eames would say, "Design is a
plan arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular
purpose". Planning a makeup studio is easy since space and furniture
requirements and their corresponding standard dimensions are given. Harmonizing
all the elements to create a solid image for the studio is the challenge.
"Architecture
should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness."
-Frank Gehry
The classic beauty
was expressed through a design which manifest the secret of natural law. The
goal in this architecture project and interior styling is to embody beauty by
providing a clean palette for the make-up scene yet boosting what is
anticipated to be brought about.
I tell you, I will
sound like a parrot as I would redundantly use "beauty" in this blog
post, so might as well see for yourself my definition of beauty with respect to
architecture and so how I translate it.
Other than enhancing what is conceived
to be beautiful, there lies the challenge of discipline and control on
over-flattering ornaments and details. Obviously, the accent on the studio is
on the vanity mirror. It is important to highlight the face of the woman with picturesque
frames with complimenting elegance and class.
I also had the center wall augmented
with a Wallpaper, not to steal the attention from the vanity mirror but to increase
the integrity of the moulded image brand. Looking at the business card of Pea,
you will recognize the same or if not close enough pattern and design of the Wallpaper.
Not to mention that the color palette presented in the studio were actually
based from the image brand (in the logo).
To Sir Norman Foster,
"Architecture is an expression of values." Tonight, you had a glimpse
of the lighter value we take in account: BEAUTY. Whether we admit it or not, It
counts and it matters. It's for us to classify it. After all, for us, it is the
balance between simplicity and of beauty being in details. I hope I have not
made your perspective on this matter more complicated now. My words now may be
shuffled and vague as I write down my inputs, but hopefully through the images,
you can appreciate what we have. A lovely good night people!
