Contrasted modernism: hybrid rather than pure, comprising rather than clean, ambiguous rather than articulated, perverse rather than interesting.

I'm currently working on extracting some features of the leafarchitecture based on their images (like L:W ratio, laminar shape,...). I use the Manual of Leaf Architecture as thereference. It is really great in mathematically describing thefeatures and how to calculate them.

But, the problem is I am not able to find a source (a book, or adata set) to have this architecture of different leaves (plants).For example, whether the Acer genus has leaves with acertain (or a range of) L:W ratio or the laminar shape for thisspecies is mainly ovate,....

Does anybody know any source of this kind?

Frank Gehry's design for Disney Hall in downtown Los Angeles employs the visual language of architecture. This means that the undulating curvilinear lines of the shapes which comprise the outside of the concert hall can convey the function of the hall.

Disney Hall is a performing art space for music and Gehry's curvilinear shapes could be interpreted as creating a feeling of music-like rhythm.

Skeleton-and-skin architecture was used on the Seagram Building in NYC.

An example of the visual language of architecture is Santiago Calatrava's Path station at Ground Zero, which is designed like the skeleton of a bird. The Path station will be a new hub for the downtown area of Wall Street, where Ground Zero is located. Thus, the bird shape can convey both flight and hope for the memorial site at Ground Zero.
