Art in architecture - How modern sculptures give places meaning

Whenever I look at a new exhibition space, the first thing I do is to understand the space and feel how it works - or rather, where the potential lies. It's the same with company buildings or spaces: first the space is perceived and analyzed, and then you quickly notice what's missing. Art in architecture can really transform such spaces and open them up energetically, as we might know it from geomancy or feng shui.
A boring waiting room becomes a feel-good place, a sterile meeting room a creative source of inspiration and an office a place where working is a pleasure again.

Modern sculptures in architecture - more than just decoration

Modern sculptures in architecture - more than just decoration
In the case of art in architecture, modern sculptures not only have an impact through their aesthetic appearance, but also directly influence their surroundings. Certain shapes evoke certain frequencies and can therefore enhance the energy of the workspace. If the sculptures are made of wood, the effect of the material is added to this. Every type of wood has a special energy, which has now been scientifically proven. At this point, I would like to refer you to Erwin Thoma's lectures, for example in his lecture Intelligenz, Schönheit, Heilkraft der Bäume(https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Solid natural wood has a demonstrably positive effect on people - immediate and lasting.

Art in buildings as a trademark for companies

In addition to the spatial effect, art on buildings plays an important role in the corporate image. A company can make its identity visible through modern sculptures in architecture. As is familiar from some companies - for example Mann Mobili with the giant red chair in front of their sales buildings - a work of art can become an eye-catcher and unmistakable landmark of a company. This type of art and architecture creates recognition and strengthens brand identity.

Defining and connecting spaces through art

One of the things I specialize in is defining and connecting spaces through art. An artistic theme can run through different spaces in a formal language and even link the interior with the exterior. One example would be organic structures that grow like roots through rooms, disappear into the ground and reappear elsewhere - until they reappear behind a glass front in the garden area. Modern sculptures thus create a link between architecture, art and nature.
Examples of art in architecture and its effect
A famous example of how sculptures define places is Anish Kapoor's CLOUD GATE sculpture in Chicago's Millennium Park. It changes the perception of the place and turns it into a central point of reference.
Another example is the former home/museum of

César Manrique on Lanzarote. There, the interior and exterior spaces are perfectly linked by artistic themes.Such projects show how art in architecture can be more than just decoration - it gives a place a whole new meaning.
Why art in construction should not be missing from any building project
The combination of art and architecture has a long tradition. Well-designed art on buildings sets the right accents to be noticed, enhances the significance of the architecture and improves the function of spaces. That is why it should not be missing from any building project.

Conclusion: Art in architecture as a key to the identity of a place

Modern sculptures in architecture can transform places, strengthen corporate identities and optimize the function of spaces.Whether through an artistic design language that runs through a building or through a striking work of art that serves as a recognition feature - art in architecture gives places meaning, identity and emotional depth.
