Bernard Tschumi designed Parc de la Villette in Paris using an unconventional approach that superimposed three independent systems: points, lines, and surfaces. The points consisted of a grid of brightly colored follies, or structures, to provide orientation and identity. The lines were paths arranged in a grid. The surfaces were open areas for activities requiring horizontal space. This integration of systems in a state of constant reconfiguration was meant to bring together the natural and artificial.
Le Corbusier in his design of buildings in tropical climate wanted to make a ‘pact with nature’
unlike his earlier works of the cold climates where he was to ‘combat the nature’. Le Corbusier’s solar shading
strategy in Unit De Habitation and Capitol complex in Chandigarh are pioneering example for his approach
towards dealing with the harsh tropical climate.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. "Any relationship between a building and its users is one of
violence, for any use means the intrusion of a human body into
a given space, the intrusion of one order into body into a given
space, the intrusion of one order into another."
-Bernard Tschumi
2. • Bernard Tschumi (1944) is an architect, writer,
and educator, commonly associated with
deconstructivism.
• He works and lives in New York City. He studied
in Paris and Zurich, where he received his
degree in architecture in 1969.
• During the 1970s, through drawings and written
texts, Bernard Tschumi insisted that there is no
architecture without events, without actions or
activity.
• ‘Form follows fiction’ is one example of
Bernard Tschumi's rules of architectonic notation
that have made him an internationally influential
theorist.
3. • “Architecture is not simply about space and form, but also
about event, action, and what happens in space.”
• The Manhattan Transcripts differ from most architectural
drawings in so far as they are neither real projects nor
mere fantasies.
• Developed in the late1970s, they proposed to transcribe
an architectural interpretation of reality.
• The Transcripts purpose was to transcribe things
normally removed from conventional architectural
representation, namely the complex relationship between
spaces and their use, between the set and the script,
between “type” and “program”, between objects and
events.
4. • Tschumi’s style of design is
often an integration of linear
and curvature forms.
• The primary basis of Tschumi’s
designs is the grid. It is a
dominant part of his designs.
• The grids incorporated in his
designs are usually derived
from characteristics of the
building site or the city.
• They are often accompanied by
curved or organic forms.
• He combines the urbanistic and
naturalistic qualities of the site
in his building designs to create
modernist qualities.
5. • Tschumi derives the elements of his designs forms from:
–The existing layout of an urban fabric.
–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
6. • Technologies of Defamiliarization
• The Mediated “Metropolitan” Shock
• De-structuring: “Weakening” of architecture, this altered
relationship between structure and image, structure and
skin.
• Superimposition
• Cross programming
• Events: The Turning Point

15. As a part of an international
competition, 1982-83, to revitalize
the abandoned and undeveloped
land from the French national
wholesale meat market and
slaughterhouse in Paris, France,
Bernard Tschumi was chosen from
over 470 entries.
Tschumi did not design the park in
a traditional mindset where
landscape and nature are the
predominant forces behind the
design. Rather he envisioned Parc
de la Villette as a place of culture
where natural and artificial are
forced together into a state of
constant reconfiguration and
discovery.
16.
17. • The basis of the design is the superimposition of three
independent systems, namely:
1.Points
2.Lines
3.Surfaces
18.
19. • The repetition of folies is aimed at developing a clear symbol for the park, a
recognizable identity as strong as the British public telephone booth or the Paris
Metro gates.
• Their grid provides a comprehensive image or shape for the otherwise ill-
defined terrain.
• Similarly, the regularity of routes and positions makes orientation simple for
those unfamiliar with the area.
• An advantage of the point-grid system is that it provides for the minimum
adequate equipment of the urban park relative to the number of its visitors.
20.
21. 3. Surfaces
• The park surfaces receive all activities requiring large
expanses of horizontal space for play, sports and exercise,
mass-entertainment, markets and so forth.
• During summer nights, for example, the central green
becomes an open air film theater for 3,000 viewers. The so
called left over surfaces where all aspects of the program
have been fulfilled, are composed of compacted earth and
gravel.
