Bernard Tschumi is an architect known for deconstructivism. Some key philosophies in his work include defamiliarization, cross-programming, event shock, destructuring, and superimposition. His Parc de la Villette in Paris used a grid system with lines, points, and surfaces superimposed. His Blue Residential Tower in New York took advantage of the site's zoning to create an angled facade. His Paul L Cejas School of Architecture in Miami featured two wings connected by colorful generators to promote interaction.
He was an architect, designer, urbanist, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.
He was a pioneer in studies of modern high design and was dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities
The presentation covers general details about architect , Villa Sovoye, Centre Le Corbusier and few other works
Bernard Tschumi (born 25 January 1944 in Lausanne, Switzerland) is an architect, writer, and educator, commonly associated with deconstructivism. Son of the well-known Swiss architect Jean Tschumi and a French mother, Tschumi is a dual French-Swiss national who works and lives in New York City and Paris. He studied in Paris and at ETH in Zurich, where he received his degree in architecture in 1969.
A brief description on Le Corbusier's life, design philosophies & some projects including a detailed case study. I recommend viewers to download the presentation and then view it bcoz many slides (slide 12) are apparently useless without animation!!

Rem Koolhaas –designing the design processSjors Timmer
The slides of my talk on Rem Koolhaas and the OMA at London IA: http://london-ia.com/2011/12/announcing-london-ia-january-2012/ you can find the write up at: http://notura.com/2012/02/rem-koolhaas-designing-the-design-process/
Vida y obra del arquitecto Rem Koolhaas realizado por los estudiantes del grupo c de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismos de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín-Arequipa.
It is a development in POST-MODERNISM that started in late 1980s.
It views architecture in bits and pieces.
It has no visual logic.
Buildings may appear to be made of abstract forms.
The idea was to develop buildings which show how differently from traditional architectural conventions buildings can be built without loosing their utility and still complying with the fundamental laws of physics.
The ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.
Architects involved –
Zaha Hadid
Bernhard Tschumi
Rem Koolhaas
The term ‘Critical Regionalism’ was first coined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre and later more famously and pretentiously by Kenneth Frampton in “Towards a Critical Regionalism : Six points of an architecture of resistance”
According to Frampton, critical regionalism should adopt modern architecture critically for its universal progressive qualities but at the same time should value responses particular to the context. Emphasis should be on topography, climate, light, tectonic form rather than scenography and the tactile sense rather than the visual.
According to Tzonis and Lefaivre, critical regionalism need not directly draw from the context, rather elements can be stripped of their context and used in strange rather than familiar ways.
Critical regionalism is different from Regionalism which tries to achieve a one-to-one correspondence with vernacular architecture in a conscious way without consciously partaking in the universal.
It is considered a particular form of post-modern response in developing countries, not to be confused with postmodernism as architectural style.
An architectural style that emerged around early 1960s and was against the architectural styles advocated by Le Corbusier and Ludwig vies Van der Rohe.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2. •Born 25 january 1944
• Architect, writer, and educator,
commonly associated with
deconstructivism.
•Son of the well-known architect
jean tschumi, born of french and swiss
parentage
•He works and lives in new york city and
paris.
• Studied in paris and at eth in zurich,
where he received his degree in
architecture in 1969
INTRODUCTION
3. • It is the artistic technique of presenting
audiences common things in an unfamiliar
or strange way in order to enhance
perception of the familiar.
EXAMPLE -If the design of windows only
reflects the superficiality of the skin's
decoration, we might start to look for a way
to do without windows. If the design of
pillars reflects the conventionality of a
supporting frame, maybe we might get rid of
pillars altogether.
• He took advantage of dismantling, celebrate
fragmentation by celebrating the culture of
differences, by accelerating and intensifying
the loss of certainty, of center, of history.
PHILOSOPHIES
DEFAMILIARIZATION CROSS PROGRAMMING
If architecture is both concept
and experience, space and use,
structure and superficial image –
non hierarchically -- then
architecture should cease to
separate these categories and
instead merge them into
combinations of programs and
spaces.
It needs interchangeability of
form and function.
4. PHILOSOPHIES
EVENT SHOCK
• Loss of shock makes images
interchangeable, and that in an age
of pure information the only thing
that counted was the “shock” -- the
shock of images, their surprise
factor.
• This shock factor was what allowed
an image to stand out.
•The increase in change strengthens
architecture as a form of domination,
power and authority.
•There was no architecture without
event, action, activities or functions.
• Architecture is seen as the
combination of spaces, events, and
movements without any hierarchy
among these concepts.
• The event here is seen as a turning
point - not an origin or an end ,as
opposed to such propositions as “form
follows function.”
•Architecture is not about the
conditions of design, but about the
design of conditions.
5. PHILOSOPHIES
DESTRUCTURING SUPERIMPOSITION
•Since the Renaissance, architectural
theory has always distinguished
between structure and ornament, and
has set forth the hierarchy between
them. Ornament is meant to be additive;
it must not challenge or weaken the
structure.
•The relationship between structure and
ornamentation is changing as in today's
world structure is pretty much the same
with different material which is decided
by the engineer rather than the architect
thus skin of the building cannot be just
an additive.
•Deconstruction is anti-form, anti-
hierarchy, anti-structure, the opposite of
all that architecture stands for to blur
the distinction between lines and
increase the shock value.
6. • Integrates linear and
curvature forms
• Grid-horizontal, vertical,
angled, straight-dominant part
of his designs.
Derived from characteristics
of the building site or the city.
• Combines the urbanistic and
naturalistic qualities of the site
to create modernist qualities
in his designs.
• Integrate into the environment
by the way they work
functionally and visually.
IMPLEMENTATION OF PHILOSOPHIES
• Existing cyclical patterns:
• Vehicular
• Pedestrian
• Sun/Shadow
• Land/Building Use
• Linear connections to
relevant city features:
• Parks
• Museums
• Public Spaces
• Monuments
• Natural Land Features
• Topography patterns within
the building site.
7. •International competition design- cultural park with
activities that include workshops, gymnasium and bath
facilities, playgrounds, exhibitions, concerts, science
experiments, games etc.
•It is built on a 125 acre site earlier acting as a slaughter
house. FORM
•He proposed an architecture of
disjunction
•It is designed as a series of 3
specific systems- lines, points and
surfaces
PARC DE LA VILLETTE,PARIS
•The park is designed using a rectangular grid of 120
metres.
•On top of this grid a series of points, lines and surfaces
were superimposed to create the form that exists today
8. •The lines of the park are composed
of two major perpendicular axes
running parallel to the orthogonal
grid.
•These form the major walkways of
the park.
•A curved walkway threads its way
through the linear one
CIRCULATION
LINES, POINTS,SURFACE
LINES
9. LINES, POINTS,SURFACE
•The point or 26 follies red in colour are
based upon deconstructed cubes placed
120 meters apart in grid pattern.
•Tschumi has designed the follies using
the rules of transformation without any
functional considerations.
•They act as reference points to
visitors.
•They lack any meaning and
display of idea of
deconstructivism.
POINTS
10. •35 acres are dedicated to green space (prairies ) which
are categorized as surfaces.
•These spaces reflect his concept of bringing down the
vastness of park to human scale.
•Ten thematic gardens decorated with follies are found.
SURFACES
LINES, POINTS,SURFACE
•Some surfaces are
in earth and gravel
which are more free
and the others are in
metal and steel

•BLUE did not start with a
theory or a formal gesture but
took site as its source,
• Parlaying intricate zoning
into angulated form, and form
into a pixelated envelope that
both projects an architectural
statement and blends into the
sky. •The slightly angled walls facing
the street and rear yard artfully
negotiate the varying setback
rules, crossing the line between
the commercial and residential
zoning districts.
BLUE RESIDENTIAL TOWER
12. FACADE
•It seems as a pixelated facade which
adds up to drama, reflects a mosaic of
the diverse community around it while
simultaneously blending into the sky.
•A combination of dark and pale
blues, the window pattern evokes
the shifting rhythms
MATERIALS
•Interiors are fitted with bamboo or
palm floors, stone counters and tiles,
and stainless steel cabinets and
appliances, defining simple and
elegant spaces,
•There are sloping windows which
adds up to drama.
•The curtain wall system
with a “pixelated” glass
design is comprised of grey
tinted vision glass, spandrel
glass in four shades of blue,
and periodic panes of full
body blue tinted vision glass.
•The sloped curtain-
wall is a feature in
many of the
apartments, and the
majority of units have
full-height windows in
the living and dining
rooms.
BLUE RESIDENTIAL TOWER
13. He started with zoning restrictions of sloping curtail
walls, designed penthouses ,2bhks and then
1bhks,and then he used that unusual space of
neighbourhood terrace into communal space
How he worked on
verticality and form implies
deconstructivism.

15. •The building could also be read as a
separation of mass, rather than a
reconfiguration.
•Focusing on interior space results
in massing that are more rectilinear
and similar in size to the southern
building. The severing of the mass
creates formal balance.
The final scheme consists of two sober wings made of a simple structural pre-cast concrete arranged
around a central courtyard filled with colourful "generators."

•A court of palm trees and two discrete structures that are
connected to the rest of the school by walkways at different
levels.
•The brightness and colourfulness of their surfaces is associated
with strictly geometric but dynamic shapes inviting passers-by
to come inside and discover their interiors, encouraging people
to get together in common areas.
PAUL L CEJAS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE,
MIAMI,PARIS
16. •Bernard tschumi focused on the design of communal
space as a way to activate the student body and promote
discussions and interactions that extend beyond the
classrooms and studios.
•Two buildings have a simple look by white walls and other 2
with more dynamic and colourf`ul appearance.
•The generators help to promote interaction and define
unexpected in-between spaces at several levels between
each wing.
•60' x 90' courtyard, which becomes a
central forum for planned and unplanned
activities
• Walkways connect the wings with the
generators in a way that helps shade the
courtyard during the morning and late
afternoon,
•A sun-screened terrace to the east and
west of the building,
•The design studio on the northern
exposure
PAUL L CEJAS SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE,
MIAMI,PARIS
17. •The greatest loads that the pre-cast concrete wall panels incur are those associated with the lifting
and positioning of the panels into place. That these elements are called “panels” reflects the fact
that they are not just walls that can assume vertical loads. These panels are fortified with pre-
stressed reinforcing to resist lateral forces. As a result, pre-cast concrete wall panels can be tipped,
rotated and flipped without structural damage.
•Precast concrete structural components left
exposed in as many locations as feasible allow
students to visually assemble and understand
the building design and engineering .
•While walking to and from the lecture halls,
students have the benefit of observing in-
service structural connections, finishes, and
the complexity of HVAC and utility networks
