In architecture, there is only one thing that can be better,than original buildings. These are original buildings that move. Have you heard of them for the first time? Then admire: 9 visual examples that will definitely amaze you Architecture, by its very definition, is something static and motionless, at least we are all used to thinking so. However, French architect Axel de Stampa decided to turn our established idea of frozen buildings on its head by creating a series of animated "gifs" called "Architecture Animée". Just look at all these modern buildings that have come to life, so playfully changing their shape!
With this project, the architect gives us the opportunity to look at famous buildings in a new way by simply turning them into animated gifs.
Basically any movement in architectureis connected with the fourth dimension – time. But in the Animée project I developed a different approach. While the visitor stands still, the building itself offers different variations, comes to life and shows the diversity of its forms.

For each image by Axel de Stampastrives to create animation that will demonstrate something new or unnoticeable in a familiar building. And, note, for each of them he uses non-repeating effects: twisting, deformation, rotation.
The Animée series looks to the concept of movement in architecture. Using the gif format, the buildings come to life and reveal their true nature.

Axel de Stampa developed his firstamazing and surprising animations as part of the 1 week 1 project, which they launched with their friend (and part-time architect) Sylvain Macaux in 2013. The basic idea is to create 52 spontaneous architectural projects over the course of a year. Although last year only 24 projects were completed, this year has delighted us all with impressive animated architecture.
The architect certainly doesn't have a wild imaginationoccupy! He took an already unusual residential building and turned it into something even more original. The building, called Mirador, is being built right before your eyes from small fragments that, when put together, disappear as if by magic, like in the popular and beloved game Tetris. By the way, locals have jokingly nicknamed this building "Bin Laden's House", because in the event of a terrorist attack, the blast wave will pass through the hole without damaging the building itself.
Here are a couple more animated buildings you should check out:
With this animation it's completely differentperceive modern architecture. You see things in it that you would not have paid attention to before, you discover the beauty of forms and lines. In a word, thanks to Axel!
