of human requirements. Modernism was rapidly developed at that time. This essay aims to explore the development of modernism after World War II by compare and contrast the two apartments which are Hansaviertel Apartment in German and Society Hill Towers in the USA. It first discusses the similarity of the two chosen buildings. Then explains the difference of design, which includes surroundings, building form and the apartment layout. Furthermore, explore the factors lead to those difference which

(Nick,2012) Transparent flush facade The seven-layer powder coated curtain wall now submerges this building with natural light and have brought a new vision of London to its inhabitants. As this massive tower inserted into the skyline, the architectural style has occupied the detractors and supporters of the share. Norman Rosenthal called it “simply London’s most magnificent building since the St. Paul’s Cathedra”. The fabrication and installation of Unitised
and steel have been defined as an “a linear two-dimensional fragile-looking material, in contrast to the solid, three-dimensional sturdiness of masonry. Elegant linearity is ironies most rational form. These characteristics led away from the solid, block-like, closed type of building, towards an open, linear, articulated frame. “4 The steel frame is a technique to build building with a “ skeleton frame “ of vertical steel columns and horizontal beams which are constructed in a rectangular grid to support
therefore healthiest building materials. Its structure enables the material to “stabilise internal humidity and act as an air-filtration unit” (Ryan, 2011). Additionally, it presents low thermal conductivity, it has acoustic insulation properties and blocks electromagnetic fields. The only health concerns are related to terpenes, which affect human molecular structure and might cause allergies (Berge, 2009;Ryan, 2011). As it grows, it absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere, acting as a store of carbon, a natural

The skeletal structure, consisting of columns, beams and slabs for low to medium-rise buildings with a small number of walls for high rise. Skeletal frames are used chiefly for commercial buildings, offices and car parks, but sometimes also for apartment buildings Variations of skeletal frame systems: 1. Structural system 1: The system consists of columns
physical components of building envelope especially for high rise building. Besides, foundation can directly influence the overall structural integrity of high rise building. Thus, durability of building enclosure systems is very significant. A foundation is the base on which a building rests and its purpose is to safely transfer the load of a building to a suitable subsoil. High rise buildings are much massive and taller than low-rise building. Therefore, its foundation is necessary to be hard

spectrum of constructed facilities may be classified into four major categories, each with its own characteristics. Residential Housing Construction Residential housing construction includes single-family houses, multi-family dwellings, and high-rise apartments. During the development and construction of such projects, the developers or sponsors who are familiar with the construction industry usually serve as surrogate owners and take charge, making necessary contractual agreements for design and
