Architectural Beliefs And Sensibilities : A New Frontier For Humanity

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.

Every modern architects is trying to achieve a dream they have never been perfectly successful society – a Utopia. The word “utopia” first described as fictional island society in Sir Thomas More’s book Utopia in 1516 as perfect community with a visionary system of political and society – cities that function to improve man’s daily lives and free from problems. This imagination city can never exist. Yet, the concept of utopia has influenced to the arts, especially architects.

Question 1. Choose an architect or practice whose work is covered by or relevant to this course and discuss critically one or more of their design projects or drawings or urban proposals as precedent case-studies. Selectively situate this work in relation to their body of work, and against the practices and concerns of the period. Focus on the architectural qualities of a specific key aspect of the design of the projects. Selectively consider how they might relate to the historical situation, cultural values, theoretical concerns and design practices of the time. This may involve a selective analysis of compositional design practices, material fabrication production and the experiential reception of built outcomes of the projects.

Regions use the earth mixed with certain ingredients then to be left out in the sun to dry into bricks, when they lacked timber and stone.

“It is as if things generated other things in their own images by human intermediaries captivated with those possibilities of sequence and progression…” “In our terms each invention is a new serial position.” “Without change there is no history; without regularity there is no time” states Kubler. Goldhagen follows: “Modernist architects were also forging a common architectural culture, an enterprise that often engenders a spirit of cooperation, building upon what people share…” “[the modern movement] was now subjected to centrifugal rather than centripetal forces, It splintered into a number of more distinct and evolving discursive

“ When architects write about their work- and they probably shouldnt they are often quick to make distinctions between projects and buildings. Projects are incomplete schematic trapped in the midst of their production. They are often optimistic investigations that were it not for some undefined tragedies of reality, would be granted more pictures more words and a longer life. Buildings on the other hand, are finite resolved and liberated of all scars of production. projects are left to engage only other architects and students of architecture. Buildings have the opportunity to engage architects students and the public for whom it was ment and subsequent publics who could never

How have architectural styles reflected the philosophies, religions, and politics of various cultures throughout history?

The 20th century is the hall mark of new, airplanes, automobiles, electricity, the whole world was abuzz with the feelings of a new future, it was a modern world now and that required modern art. Filippo Tommaso Marinetti understood this and wrote the Futurist Manifesto, the

"Architecture In Words", by Louise Pelletier outlines a comprehensible history of the development of art performance space. On his literature review, he focuses on the early development of theatre with tiered seating on a hill side and circular acting platform. Francis Reid followed this spatial which is stating the need to get audience and performers closer together was satisfied by placing seating in a semi circle around the performance. Theatre performance was a huge success from the development of the Globe theatre in 1559. The Globe Theatre was an open arena based on the Roman coliseum but it built on a much smaller scale. It was a thrust stage in an encircling courtyard which was surrounded by a 300 degree audience in galleries and on the ground (Reid, Theatre Space,2006,P.210)

Alberto Perez Gomez Challenges modern architecture in his book titled “Architecture and the Crisis of Modern Science”, and he describes how modern architecture needs to restate its position towards creation of memories. In addition, he explains that modern architecture cannot believe in a meaningless structure because nothing in built form can be meaningless (Rykwert) [11]. Furthermore, he explains how human perception and the sensorial experience of a space is the origin of architectural program. He describes human body as the focus of all the rules in the world, and how human body is occupying space and time. Hence, this existence can push architecture to create and order that resonates with the body itself (Perez Gomez) [11].

    Architecture has undergone a rapid and revolutionary transformation in the  modern era.  Through the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, this essay  attempts to chart the transition in architecture from nineteenth century  Romanticism and Neoclassicism to High Modernism. Mies van der Rohe  redefined architectural boundaries and emphasised the beauty of simple forms,  the importance of functionality and the versatility of new materials such as  glass, steel and marble. An analysis of the work of Philip Johnson reveals the  development from High Modernism to Postmodernism, where playful and  ironic decoration and humanist theories were reintroduced into what had

The end of the twentieth century was marked by the unprecedented scale of construction, huge advances in science and technology: new advanced designs, building materials, construction technology and strategies.1 Along with that, architects have been disclosing the failure of the traditional aesthetic concepts in the art of postmodern architecture, which were based on the assumption that politics should no longer be connected with the disciplines of administration.2 Therefore, the consequence of this failure was enormous number of debates occurred during that time: whether to reject the modernity and to return to conservative values or to embrace "the imperatives of modern technology".3

Futurism was an art movement originated in Italy in the early 20th century. It was largely an Italian phenomenon, though there were parallel movements in Russia, England and elsewhere.

Culture is a very important aspect of human life; it defines the way people live, grow, and evolve. Anthropologists study cultures throughout the world and throughout different time periods. They study the different aspects of culture including architecture, belief systems, and societal structure. Egypt is a country ripe with history and rich culture, from their towering pyramids to their modern day society. Intricately crafted obelisks and tombs decorate the landscape, but how much of that is being preserved? The study and preservation of past culture can heavily influence and educate the present. It is important to learn about the past in order to evolve and create a better future. While change can be beneficial, it is important not to neglect ancient culture.

Everyday we live and move through spaces without realizing the influence they can have on our daily lives. Built environments are designed to directly affect behaviour and attitudes in a specific and intended way; this can be referred to as architectural determinism (Marmot 2002). Almost all architectural patterns use the physical arrangement of elements, and materials to influence behavior. This can range from placing design elements in specific places to encourage or discourage people’s interaction with them, placing them to prevent access to a specific area, or placing them to direct or
