important role in the world of architecture. As facing time is inevitable, so is change within the design and structure of the modest hut to the convoluted structure of business buildings downtown Atlanta. Furthermore, this leads me to ask, “How and why has architecture evolved over the time frame of the Gothic Era to present day?” Prior to the discussion of how and why architecture has evolved, it is imperative to obtain a greater knowledge of each pattern of architecture. Henceforth, with the procured
The postwar years became a time of experimental architecture and a desire to leave the past behind and push boundaries in terms of design. One of the focal points became site-specific building, creating contemporary architecture that uses readily available materials and attempts to work with the landscape, rather than against, this has become an integral part of Australian architecture. The Jack House and the Stamp House, are two examples of different exploratory approaches of building within the
Ancient Greek architecture is one of the most influential aspects on the buildings and architecture that we have built in the world today, especially in regards to buildings related to the government. The architecture and style of ancient Greece was mentioned in Chapter Five of the textbook titled “Art of Ancient Greece and the Aegean World.” Greek architecture used three main order's, which were a system of proportions used in Classical Greek architecture that included every aspect of the building's
each in the life of Rome and the results of their use The Roman architecture is of great importance in the study of the Greeks and Roman Civilization. Their architecture was different than anything that came before the Persians, the Egyptians the Greeks; they all had excellent monumental architecture. Their buildings are made to be impressive in the outside because their architects had to rely on what we call a post-and lintel system. Something about the arc and concrete (materials) used by the Romans;
His concern focuses on affordable housing for the average American family. Consequently, the Usonian houses, which are the simplified version of Prairie architecture, were built.He had this vision and idea of “Broadacre city” that Is to shift parts of overcrowded city into the environmental friendly city and restyle it into Usonia style so that the buildings become important part of the natural landscape that
is concerned with the modeling of material to bring the material into presence - from the physical into the meta-physical world (Maulden, 1986). Since tectonics is primarily concerned with the making of architecture in a modern world, its value is seen as being a partial strategy for an architecture rooted in time and place therefore beginning to bring poetry in construction. Tectonics, however, has the capacity to create depth-ness of context resulting in the implicit story being told by the tectonic
past. The term utopia was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing Atlantic Ocean with a fictional island society. A utopia can be defined as a society possessing highly desirable or perfect place, or any visionary system of political or social perfection. Modernist and Modern Architects were concerned with creating a Utopian City, and therefore a Utopian society. Utopian fervor was led by The carnage of the First World War; In the mid 1920s, as the economy of post-war
“Architecture is not created in a vacuum. It is usually a response to the context in which it becomes constructed reality.” –Bert Bielfeld (p.13) Based on Nova Scotia Association of Architects (2014), Architecture is the art, science, and business of building; and in line with this are we, the Architects, who are described by the word versatile. We create and build designs for a certain structure such as a residential home, office, skyscrapers, schools, malls, parks, churches, etc. Everything starts
The Renaissance gave birth to an innovative approach to how we perceive art and architecture. Prior to the Renaissance, Architecture and the value of the arts were stuck on maintaining traditional art styles and pieces rather than opening a new chapter and evolving to view a new perspective of design itself. The Renaissance brought forth the creation of a new mindset by evolving old traditions and our minds for the way we interpret design is the basis to serve as a gateway for innovation and creativity
Arc 281 is a course that provides an overview of essential form as well as cultural and environmental issues related to architecture and architectural disciplinary. It emphasizes on two and three dimensional compositions, organization strategies and the basic arrangements of spatial configuration. Furthermore it examines the effect of light, ventilation, weather, and spatial experience in an inbuilt environment with a focus on building forms and interiors that incorporate a precise response to environment
gave us a keen insight into what it was the the architect looked like in the time of ancient Rome. Throughout the video One gets to explore and visualize the brilliance in the layout of each of the famous pieces of the Ancient Roman world. The architecture has elements that consist of Etruscan and Greek style in them. The Individual columns with the basic architectural unity throughout the entire building.

always been a negative association to the label of an “Interior designer”. Interior design is perceived as being feminine, superficial, and mimetic as compared to a male, rational, and original architecture. Although the subtext is not said out loud, it is still clear: interior design is inferior to architecture. “The
Modernism and architecture share a visible link that became dominant in the 20th century (1929 to 1933) it is not only in architecture but also in other designs. This movement looked at the functionality of the design rather than the beauty. It kept it simple and practical. This essay will cover Richard Neutra (the architect) as well as his most successful design the Lovell house also known as the Lovell Healthy House based in Los Angeles it was designed and built by him. It will consider the concept

The movement was developed as a way to reject and relinquish the traditional procedures of planning and adopting better and new methods that are capable of improving the social condition of people . The movement first began in Europe and later spread to the United States of America. It was as a result of the availability of democracy in these
will have an increase in demand. Due to this overwhelming realization, many people have turned to sustainable architecture. Sustainable architecture is defined as “architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space,” (“Sustainable Architecture”). This type of architecture was created as a response to the fact that Earth does not have an unlimited amount of resources, so finding new
Ancient Roman styles The meaning of architecture is ‘the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings. ' (Oxford dictionary, NA) The word Architecture originally came from a Latin word Architectus. It had been described as a combination of art and science. There were many styles of Architecture. According to the history, it was changed periodically from early civilizations as Mesopotamia, Egyptians and continue to Greek, then Roman, toward to Middle Ages till nowadays. In this research
To any other person, architecture is remotely sketching a layout of rooms and walls, but to me, it’s nature, it’s transformation, it’s everything, it’s our world. It defines who I am, and it empowers who we are, both as individuals and as a society. Every morning when I wake up, my surroundings reflect my ideas, my future, and my success. I want to apply my knowledge to impact and redefine the future of our age through architecture. Our surroundings shape our mood and impact our experiences, especially
of architecture which including history, identity, culture, prosperity or spirit of a city. Accordingly, to reach this process of the dialectics of nature, tradition, and modern avant-garde architecture, Frampton constituted a theoretical background representing critical regionalism. In addition to that critical regionalism adopts the principle of the tectonic reality and place in architecture. In other words, the architect should create the tectonic reality by using the physical dimensions of the
landscape. The house’s structural system allows the steel frame to bend into a natural form that responds to the immediate Australian landscape. Mitchell Schwarzer claims that these “forms communicate themes within tectonics of the natural and cultural order” and that the Magney House, through its free form roof (Figure 2.) reflects a climatic consideration of the suns movement. This suggests regionalism is a consequence of Australian architecture, an architecture that is regionally based and achieving
architect of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright played a pivotal role in altering the evolutionary course of architecture. With a career spanning over an impressive seven decades, Wright designed one-thousand-one-hundred-and-fourteen architectural works, five-hundred-and-thirty-two of which were realized (The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, 2018). He made it his life’s work to develop an appropriate architecture for both the young American nation and the new world of the twentieth century. Considering this, he
