The Pearl River Tower in Guangzhou, China was designed as an eco-friendly skyscraper that uses wind turbines and solar panels to generate its own energy. Precise construction was required to assemble the 18,000 curved steel pieces that make up the aerodynamic, curved structure. The tower's foundation and basement were built to withstand typhoons and earthquakes, while its double-layer glass facade and energy efficient systems help regulate temperature and reduce emissions.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System provides standards for sustainable construction and was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 1998. Green buildings are designed to reduce environmental impact through efficient energy and water use, improved occupant health, and reduced waste and pollution. The Hearst Tower in New York City, completed in 2006, was the first green skyscraper in New York and earned a gold LEED certification through features like a rainwater collection system, geothermal heating and cooling, and 80% recycled steel in its construction. The California Academy of Sciences incorporates numerous sustainable materials and design features to minimize its environmental impact.

The document summarizes an analysis of the Istana Budaya national theatre building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It discusses the building's architectural style, which draws on traditional Malay elements like the sirih junjung roof design. The layout is based on a typical Malay house, with the serambi as the lobby, rumah ibu as the auditorium, and rumah dapur as the stage area. Comparisons are made to the Sydney Opera House, noting both have distinctive roof designs that reference cultural motifs and provide venues for performing arts. Plans, sections, and images of the Istana Budaya are presented and analyzed.
Biomimicry is the imitation of natural designs, processes, and elements seen in nature. It involves studying nature's designs and processes to solve human problems. Some key points about biomimicry include:
- It operates on the principle that nature has already found solutions to problems humans are trying to solve.
- It is multidisciplinary, involving fields like architecture, engineering, biology and more.
- There are three levels of biomimicry - organism, behavior, and ecosystem levels. Examples of biomimicry applied at each level are provided.
The document discusses the design of Rumah Kutai, the traditional Malay house of Perak. Rumah Kutai has a rare traditional long roof with gable ends. It is built entirely of bamboo for walls and floors, allowing natural ventilation. Construction involves erecting support columns, a temporary floor, roof trusses and finishes, wall panels, and staircases. Issues include difficulty finding traditional materials and problems with termites and leaks. Recommendations are to conserve existing Rumah Kutai as heritage sites or arts galleries, develop the area for tourism, and ensure proper maintenance by local authorities.
The document provides biographical information about American architect Paul Rudolph and summarizes some of his key works. It describes Rudolph's education and career, noting that he had a major influence on mid-20th century American architecture with buildings characterized by boldly contrasting masses and complexly interlocking spaces. It summarizes several of Rudolph's works, including the Healy Guest House with its catenary roof, the Art and Architecture Building at Yale with its dramatic entrance, and the Walker Guest House with large shading flaps.
The document discusses thermal comfort in the Lantern Hotel in Kuala Lumpur and how it adapts elements of traditional Malay architecture. It addresses how the urban heat island affects the hotel's thermal comfort. Natural ventilation techniques like stack effect and cross ventilation are implemented, similar to traditional houses. Shading devices and building materials also aim to achieve thermal comfort by reducing solar heat gain, as traditional architecture did. The orientation, ventilation methods, shading, and materials work together to combat Kuala Lumpur's hot climate through passive design principles inspired by vernacular architecture.

It was produced by 18 students from Taylor's University as part of their coursework. The report documents the research, measurements, interviews, photography and drafting work done by the students to study and document the seven colorful shophouses through measured drawings, a report, photos and a physical model. It provides information on the history, architectural elements and materials of the shophouses.
One of the India's best-known architects, Raj Rewal is recognized internationally for buildings that respond sensitivity to the complex demands of rapid urbanization, climate and culture. In a country that is both developing and industrialized, whose architectural inheritance is ancient and recent and whose society is conservative and pluralist, Rewal's work combines sophisticated technology and a sense of history and context, imparted not only by design but by local material such as ochre and rose sandstone, evoking the great Mogul monuments.
The Taipei Performing Arts Center in Taiwan elevates a substantial part of its program to create an open public square underneath. By lifting the main plateau, panoramic views of the city are created. The building contains more void space in the form of this three-dimensional urban square than mass. The square fundamentally becomes part of the building and is activated by various balconies and terraces with different programs. The four "legs" of the building that support the horizontal slab are each programmed differently and contain performance spaces at varying altitudes, connected by a system of loops, stairs, and elevators.
Organic architecture aims to create harmony between buildings and their natural surroundings. It incorporates principles seen in nature, like form following function. Frank Lloyd Wright was influential in developing organic architecture in the early 20th century. He emphasized integrating buildings with their sites through geometric shapes, horizontal lines, and other signature design elements. Wright lived and worked at Taliesin, his home and school in Wisconsin, where he taught apprentices and oversaw construction of projects, before wintering with his apprentices at Taliesin West in Arizona.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for pioneering organic architecture that aimed to harmonize structures with their natural surroundings. One of his most famous works is Fallingwater, a house built in 1937 near Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Fallingwater is built directly over a 30-foot waterfall, with terraces that echo the rock ledges below. Wright designed the house so that its residents could experience the waterfall as part of their daily life, with water sounds heard throughout. The home exemplifies Wright's organic style through its integration with the surrounding forest and use of local materials like stone.
