American postmodern architecture has more focus on culture, the specific theme of that moment, but the problem of formalization started to show up. Deconstructivism, a critical architectural movement in the postmodern age, usually has nice control on the structural surface as the building’s skin and use the randomly geometric shapes to show the twisting architectural elements. Frank Gehry is a typical post-modernism and deconstructivism architect, Americans like to call him “another Frank” because

Architecture: A lot more than Blueprints In early prehistoric times, the discovery of caves proved to provide great protection against severe weather for early man, although offered less protection against wild animals, making this type of shelter somewhat unlivable. As a result, to provide better protection against nature and wildlife, man discovered that the use of natural materials such as stones, bones, and tree branches offered a more reliable domicile. Due to the nonconformity of living conditions

Building Construction Related to the Fire Service Chapter 1: Building Construction & Fire Service The building variables that FF must consider: • Age of building – age in itself is not a hazard but an indication of potential hazards • Fire protection systems – first line of defense in a building • Occupancy of the building – often affects fire behavior…each occupancy has different hazards & fuels, and the structural components are subjected to different temperatures, heat release

ARCHITECTURE SHOULD BE INFORMAL NOT RIGID. New structure and informal by Cecil Balmond talks about Continuous and crisscrossing space that spirals upwards looks like a series of cubes that have been inset into one another such formation produce new, chaotic spirals and the structure builds on itself and remains free within this framework. Cecil Balmond had explored the different ways of creating and developing new forms through careful discovery by new and innovative techniques such as structural

Antoni Gaudí, a Catalan architect has become internationally recognized as one of the most prodigious experts in architecture, as well as the one of the top exponents of modernism. His exceptional ground-breaking genius made him the inventor of a unique and personal architectural language that defies classification. The work of Gaudí is remarkable for its range of forms, textures, polychromy and for the free, expressive way in which these elements of his art seem to be composed. The complex geometries

Benefits and challenges of Urbanization SCI/275 University Of Phoenix In this paper I will be explaining the four factors that produce a change in the population as well as urbanization. Urbanization is moving from a rural area to a big city in hopes of better opportunity or employment along with many other benefits. Urbanization may seem like a good idea to those trying to better themselves but it has challenges in the city people

The inspiration of nature in design created a movement of Organic Architecture through functionalism and minimalism since the 1800’s influencing some of the greatest architects to emerge. Functionalist architects and artists design utilitarian structures in which the Organic Architecture dictates the development within and moves outward in harmony with its surroundings, without regard to such traditional devices as axial symmetry and classical proportions or any other heavy ornamentation. Louis

Urban Gentrification and Urban Morphology The term ‘gentrification’ has myriads of interpretations from different geographers, and sociologists. Ever since, there has been protracted debate on its methodology, consequences and whether it constitutes a dominant or residual urban form. The term ‘gentrification’ was first coined by the Marxist urban geographer Ruth Glass (Glass, 1964) to describe the influx of wealthier individuals into cities or neighbourhoods who replace working or lower-classes

Contemporary architecture indicates to the style of today’s architecture. Its style is not defined; because it is constantly changing, plus it choses different styles and eras. On the other hand, Modern Architecture has defined its style. It describes a specific era design, that it leads to the history of machination and to the 1920s – 1950s styles. Many people mistaken in defining modern architecture and contemporary architecture, say that both of them are completely the same. This research paper

Architectural works can be richer by reevaluating the complexity "Complexity and Contradiction" in Architecture by Robert venturi addresses architecture as the only place where redundant and simple construction, in thinking and in material reality takes shape. The objective of the series was to explore and promote ideas that were too complex or involved for exhibit, and were therefore written on museum exhibition. Though Venturi's utilizes many photographic examples to support his arguments, the
