High-tech architecture, also known as Late Modernism or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design.
High-tech architecture appeared as a revamped modernism , an extension of those previous ideas helped by even more technological advances.
This category serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism ; there remain gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Some of its ideas were later absorbed into the style of Neo-Futurism art and architectural movement.

Structuralism is a mode of thinking .pptxseyefeselasse
Structuralism is a mode of thinking and a method of analysis practiced in 20th-centurysocial sciences and humanities. Methodologically, it analyses large-scale systems by examining the relations and functions of the smallest constituent elements of such systems, which range from human languages and cultural practices to folktales and literary texts.
This project was an attempt to investigate the art museum as an specific building type as well as the issues involved in the design of spaces for contemporary art. As every architectonic object, art museums are deeply connected with the functions they must fulfil and must act on the user as a stimulus which requires a behaviour response.*
According to Michel Foucault museums are sites that have the curious property of being in relation with all other sites, but in such a way as to suspend, neutralize, or invert the set of relations that they happen to designate, mirror or reflect. The museum space is capable of juxtaposing in a single space several sites that are in themselves incompatible . Its space begins to function at full capacity when men arrive at a sort of absolute break with their traditional idea of time.
Designing a new museum requires a strong concept. An art museum should never be made as a neutral, weak thing. It should be made new and passionate. The museum space should create possibilities for the unpredictable. A space that is inspired, unconventional, unafraid of taking risks, humorous, provocative and spontaneous.
The new museum shouldn’t be there to train people how to answer but how to question. That what’s the new museum is for.

Museums are nowadays among the most popular projects for the public, the concept of thermal comfort in museums is often treated after the realization. Even if in the design, the architect shows a particular intention to work with daylight which is considered for these projects as main, the architect often considers certain elements that have an influence on the energy balance of these projects such as: orientation, building materials. The museum route is the key to the success of any museum project, it is the space of the visitor, the space in which he is invaded by sensations. In this study, we will first evaluate the thermal comfort in the museum as a whole (building) and then through its route. The objective is to guide reflection in the design of the museum towards the route in order to reduce energy consumption. In order to carry out our study, some European museums were analysed by means of simulation, according to the thermal comfort of their designs for the most unfavourable conditions, then by a thermal analysis of the museum route according to the segmentation principle using the average radiant temperature. This method allowed us to bring out correspondences between the architectural form and the route. Finally, the segmentation method constitutes the basis of a new methodological approach called "thermal topology" based on the discontinuities of the temperatures in the route.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

2. Bernard Tschumi is widely recognized as one
of today’s foremost architects. First known as
a theorist,
In the 1970s he taught at the Architectural
Association school in London and during this
period he developed the ‘strategy of
disjunctions’, a theory based on his belief that
contemporary culture and architecture were
best expressed by fragmentation as opposed
to the classical ideal of unity.
Tschumi often references other disciplines in
his work, such as literature and film, proving
that architecture must participate in culture’s
polemics and question its foundations.
3. Bernard commonly associated with deconstructivism.
In 1970 Tschumi has argued that there is no fixed relationship between
architectural form and the events that take place within it.
According to him Architecture’s role is not to express an extant social
structure , but to function as a tool for questioning that structure and revise
it.
Architecture by nature is fundamentally useless, setting it apart from
building.
4. The video gallery was the first work to
deal with the concept of the
envelope. It is about the movement
of the body as it travels through the
exhibition space and about the
enclosure, which is made entirely out
of glass held by clips, including its
vertical supports and horizontal
beams.
5. The resulting structure gives priority to
the image. The monitors inside
provide unstable facades, while the
glass reflections create mirages that
suggest limitless space. At night, the
space becomes an ensemble of
mirrors and reflections
6. Located at the foot of the
Acropolis, the site
confronted with sensitive
archeological
excavations, the presence
of the contemporary city
and its street grid, and the
Parthenon itself.
7. Combined with a hot climate in an
earthquake region, these conditions
moved us to design a simple and
precise museum with the
mathematical and conceptual clarity
of ancient Greece.

9. During the early 1980s, after President
Mitterand took office, Paris was undergoing
an urban redevelopment as part of city
beautification, as well as making Paris a
more tourist influenced city. In 1982-3, the
Parc de la Villette competition was
organized to redevelop the abandoned
land from the meat market and
slaughterhouses that dated back to 1860
La Villette has become known as an
unprecedented type of park, one based on
“culture” rather than “nature.”
Unlike other entries in the competition,
Tschumi did not design the park in a
traditional mindset where landscape and
nature are the predominant forces behind
the design [i.e. Central Park]. Rather he
envisioned Parc de la Villette as a place of
culture where natural and artificial [man-
made] are forced together into a state of
constant reconfiguration and discovery.
10. A system of dispersed “points”—the red
enameled steel folies that support different
cultural and leisure activities—is
superimposed on a system of lines that
emphasizes movement through the park
La Villette could be conceived of as one
of the largest buildings ever constructed —
a discontinuous building but a single
structure nevertheless, overlapping the
site’s existing features and articulating new
activities
It opposes the landscape notion of
Olmstead, widespread during the 19th
century, that “in the park, the city is not
supposed to exist.”
Instead, it proposes a social and cultural
park with activities that include workshops,
gymnasium and bath facilities,
playgrounds, exhibitions, concerts, science
experiments, games and competitions
11. He designed a number of small experimental
constructions that he called ‘follies’, playing on
the double meaning of the French word folie as a
state of mental imbalance into the pavilion.
