The Interior Of The Schroder House

Behind every building, there is an idea. No architect can deny that both Frank Lloyd Wright and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe developed and introduced a style of architecture that has left a lasting influence on design and concept. Their philosophy of modernism has similarities that can be seen throughout the design of their structures, however, their, contrasting views of modernism is distinguishable in Wright’s Falling Water and Mies’ Farnsworth house. Their choices of the building site, material, and idea behind the structures separate the two architects and their philosophies.

The single-family home was created for Morris and his wife. The two story red brick and masonry home was designed in Bexleyheath, a southeastern suburb of London, England.

Gehry’s deconstructive style has stretched the boundaries of non-traditional building materials, space, movement, and elevated architecture into a unique art form. The three buildings that I chose were the Rouse Company headquarters, built in the 1969 Columbia, MD, Vitra Design Museum 1987 - 1989, Weil am Rhein, Germany, and Weisman Art Museum completed in 1993, University of Minnesota, Minnesota. These building show an evolution in Gehry’s architectural style. The buildings move from the spare organic Prairie style, reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright, to the fluid energetic movement he is known for.

Dwellings were focused on having light, air and ventilation with sufficient access to open spaces. These requirements led to detached housing, as against street facing housing.

“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context - a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan”by Eliel Shaarinen(as cited in Enquist, 2002). Design context is everything, context is about knowing that there have to be circumstances in order for the design or outcome to be fully thought out. Everything occurs within a context and is vitally important because it controls, influences and affects everything in relation to the outcome. This essay compares and contrasts Ludwig Mies van der Rohes “Farnsworth House” from 1951 with George Franklin Barber’s “Clyde Royal Joy House” which was completed in 1897. These houses were built over fifty years apart and in that time there had

The article explains that the building of Chaco house is used for residential purposes, and provides three competing theories. However, the professor expanse that the houses were not use for residential purposes and refutes each of the author’s reasons.

Mies van der Rohe is one of the most prominent figures in modernist architectural history, the man who popularised some of the most influential phrases of the era, e.g. “less is more”, and strove to push his ideas and philosophies, not just on what he thought a building should be, but of what he thought architecture itself was. He changed the cityscape of America, showing the world a style that was simple and elegant, with such a controlled palette of expressions that shone through in its geometric beauty.

The Bauhaus school was founded in 1919 in Weimar by German architect Walter Gropius (1883 - 1969). In 1923, Walter Gropius introduced the agreement between “creative artists and the industrial world”. The Bauhaus is most famous for the idea of combining forms and functions. They combined both fine arts and design elements to create a curriculum that trained artists and designers to be capable of producing both functional and aesthetic work. One of the main goals was to bring design and technology together. During the Bauhaus period, Fine art and craft were combined together and aimed toward problem solving for an innovative, modern and industrial society. Nowadays, the Bauhaus legacy continues in modern designs, such as minimalism, or design brands like IKEA. In this essay, I will analyze Bauhaus’s influence on modern design, including architecture and furniture design by exploring different examples from different periods of time.
