Design Exploration

I found two great examples that are fully flash based. One of them is very interactive it allows you to view the architecture of some of the tallest buildings in the world. This website was design in New York City by what it looks like a variety of designers putting all their ideas together to design it. The interface for this site is very easy to navigate from the home page, It allows you to role the invisible buttons on the bottom of the page in it displays all the different kinds of buildings from smallest to tallest. Besides these buttons it only has one other button in the menu navigation bar which is a drop down menu with four other links. Overall the site should be fairly easy to navigate the way it’s constructed.

The objective of this site is to present and focus on 25 contemporary skyscrapers and all of their main aspects such as the technology, urbanism, and program. It also consist the fundamentals of the project construction for certain skyscrapers along with comparison to others. The website is clearly designs to focus on architecture and it very evident throughout the interface. Also making it easy to navigate with one on button drop down menu and the rollovers in the architecture.

When it comes to the cleanliness of the interface it’s very easy to read nothing is too cluttered or overwhelming to the eye. The only thing I would say it’s too much is the different diagrams that explain the different type of architecture in certain building because they are not that easy to read. But for the most part everything is the site is easy to read and for the most part it explains its purpose.
