Triangles are the strongest basic shape for building structures because the center of gravity is lower, the angles cannot change, and load is transferred smoothly. Common structures like bridges and buildings utilize triangular components to reinforce their designs, from the pyramids of Egypt to modern buildings that draw inspiration from origami. Everyday objects also incorporate triangular elements that contribute to their durability.

Domes
Domes come in many shapes and forms, defined by their structure and materials. The basic dome is a curved structure that spans an opening and may or may not support weight. Domes are essentially arches rotated around a central point. Common materials used are brick, stone, wood, metal, glass and concrete. Some specific dome types include polygonal domes with non-circular bases, compound domes with smaller domes atop pendentives, crossed-arch domes with intersecting ribs, and geodesic domes made of triangular frameworks. Hemispherical, onion, oval, parabolic, sail, saucer, segmented and umbrella domes each have distinguishing structural features.
Reims cathedral
The Reims Cathedral was constructed between 1211-1345 in the Gothic architectural style. It was commissioned by the Catholic Church to honor the Virgin Mary. Some key facts:
- Construction began under Jean d'Orbais and continued under successive architects until completion.
- It has hosted numerous French royal coronations, commemorating the legend of Clovis I's baptism.
- The interior features Gothic architectural elements like ribbed vaulting and flying buttresses, and houses important stained glass.
- It sustained damage during World Wars I and II but has since been restored. A recent fire caused roof damage but relics were mostly saved.
Zaha Hadid
The contents consist of Zaha Hadid, her philosophy, working style, her principles, and the study of some of her buildings.
Classical Architecture
Classical architecture originated in ancient Greece and Rome, known for its symmetry, columns, and ornate decorations. It began as early as 700 BC and spread across Europe. The Greeks developed three main column styles - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - which were later adopted by the Romans. Famous classical structures include the Parthenon and Roman Colosseum, demonstrating the architectural skills of those civilizations through grand scales and intricate details. This style emphasized order and was used for both civic and religious buildings to showcase power and please the gods.

Phenomenology
This document is an undergraduate thesis submitted by Aanal Vala to the SAL School of Architecture in Ahmedabad, India. It explores the concept of experience in the works of architect Le Corbusier through the lens of phenomenology. The thesis contains an abstract, acknowledgements, table of contents, and outlines the introduction, methodology, literature review, and subsequent chapters. It aims to understand phenomenology through Le Corbusier's works, examine experience obtained from his architectural elements, understand how phenomenology is perceived in his buildings, and study the need for phenomenology in current architecture. The methodology includes a literature review, secondary case studies, a primary case study of the Mill Owners' Association Building, and interviews/surveys
Tassel house
Casa Tassel was a townhouse in Brussels, Belgium built in 1894. It was designed by architect Victor Horta for scientist Emile Tassel and is considered the first true Art Nouveau building due to its innovative design. Horta broke from traditional schemes by building the house from three distinct yet connected parts - two conventional brick buildings linked by a steel structure covered with glass that functioned as a light shaft bringing natural light inside. Horta designed every detail of the house, successfully integrating lavish decoration without masking the architectural structure.
Bishan cultural and art center
The Bishan Cultural and Art Center in Shongquing, China was designed by Tanghua Architects and Associates and completed in 2016. The 37736.51 square meter center was designed in a contemporary architectural style to resemble the ancient description of the "Mountains made of jade" through an abstract form that reflects the surrounding landscape. The building is composed of three blocks connected by stairs that mimic mountain climbing, with glass curtain wall facades on the northeast sides that use triangular planes and aluminum mesh to form traditional Chinese patterns while also representing spider webs found in local forests.
Kenzo tange
Kenzo Tange was a influential Japanese architect and urban planner in the postwar period. He helped define Japan's emergence into modernism after WWII. Tange developed the concept of "metabolism" where cities and buildings are ever-changing and organic, with modular replaceable parts. One of his most famous works applying these ideas was the 1967 Shizuoka Press and Broadcasting Centre, which had modular steel office units cantilevered from a central core that could potentially be replaced over time. Tange's 1960 Plan for Tokyo Bay proposed a linear series of interlocking loops expanding across the bay as a symbolic representation of how cities can continuously expand and regenerate internally through metabolic processes.
High tech architecture
High tech architecture emerged in the 1970s and incorporates elements of high technology into building designs. It emphasizes transparency and reveals the underlying structure and functions. Pioneers of high tech architecture include Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Renzo Piano. They designed iconic buildings using advanced materials and expressed the industrial aesthetic with exposed services and structural elements.
Deconstructivism and Peter eisenman
Deconstructivism emerged in the late 1980s as a development of postmodern architecture influenced by deconstruction theory. It is characterized by fragmented and non-rectilinear shapes that create unpredictability and controlled chaos. Peter Eisenman was a prominent American architect known for works like the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe that used disconcerting forms and angles to create an incomplete experience for viewers, reflecting his belief that parts in conflict contest the completeness of the whole.

CONTEMPORARY PROCESS ON ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
This document discusses various types of digital architectures, including topological architectures, isomorphic architectures, animate architectures, metamorphic architectures, parametric architectures, and evolutionary architectures. Topological architectures use non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) to describe continuous curved surfaces. Isomorphic architectures are constructed from interacting "blobs" or fields of influence. Animate architectures use animation software and techniques like kinematics and dynamics to generate architectural forms defined by motion and force. Metamorphic architectures employ techniques like key shape animation and deformations to transform architectural geometries. Parametric architectures define relationships between objects using parameters and equations. Evolutionary architectures use genetic algorithms and computer models to simulate the evolution of architectural forms.
Frampton's critical regionalism
Kenneth Frampton is an English architect, historian, and critic known for his theory of Critical Regionalism. He explores how globalization has led to the loss of regional culture and identity. In his essay "Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance," Frampton proposes a new type of architecture that synthesizes a region's identity, history, culture, and values to strengthen regional prosperity. He advocates integrating old traditions with modernism to achieve a process that defines Critical Regionalism through consideration of culture, civilization, the rise and fall of avant-garde movements, world culture, place forms, topography, climate, light, tectonics, and the visual versus the tactile. Frampton's concept focuses on
Gothic Cathedral
The document discusses the Gothic cathedral architectural style that originated in France in the 12th century. Some key aspects of the Gothic style include pointed arches, flying buttresses, stained glass windows, and tall structures filled with light. Gothic cathedrals used structural engineering advances to allow for greater height and large windows, with the goals of filling the interior with light and creating a heightened spiritual experience for visitors.
Late modern architecture and post modern architecture
Late Modern architecture took the ideas and motifs of Modernism to extremes, emphasizing structure, technology, and mechanical elements. Examples include the Pompidou Center in Paris, which prominently displayed the building's functional elements on the exterior, and the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., which featured an atrium space lit by a triangular skylight and balconies overlooking the main area. Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1950s as a response to the formalism of Modernism, reintroducing ornamentation, references to historical styles, and wit.

Theory of architecture
The document outlines the overview and units of a course on theory of architecture. It discusses key concepts like definition of architecture, how it satisfies human needs through functional, aesthetic and psychological aspects. It examines elements of architecture like point, line, plane etc and form elements like sphere, cube etc. It also covers principles of architecture like proportion, scale, balance etc and components that define architectural form like site, structure, materials etc. Finally, it introduces gestalt ideas of visual perception and gestalt theory principles that help understand how humans perceive objects and group visual elements.
Koperkhairane Town Planning
This document provides information about Quadrant 2 in Koparkhairane, Navi Mumbai. Sector 19 contains Koparkhairane Gaothan (old village area) while Sector 20 has apartment buildings. Quadrant 2 has a more organic layout compared to the grid patterns in other quadrants. It includes the prominent Koparkhairane holding pond and amenities like hospitals, schools, and gardens. Sector 19 specifically still retains aspects of the original village layout in its narrow lanes and dilapidated houses, contrasting with the planned development in other areas of Navi Mumbai. The holding pond acts as a flood prevention measure during heavy rains and high tides.
form follows function!
The document discusses Louis Sullivan and his principle of "form follows function" in architecture. It provides background on Sullivan, describes some of his most famous buildings like the Wainwright Building and Guaranty Building, and how they demonstrated his principle. Sullivan saw that skyscrapers demanded a new aesthetic that echoed their steel frame structure and function on the interior and exterior. He is considered the father of modern American architecture for his rejection of historical ornamentation in favor of designs emphasizing structure and function.
Guggenheim museum in NYC
The Guggenheim Museum in New York City was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed between 1956-1959. It has a distinctive spiral structure with galleries arranged in a continuous ramp around a large open space lit by a central skylight. In the 1990s, a controversial rectangular tower was added to the top of Wright's original design. The museum is located on Fifth Avenue near Central Park and houses the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation's collection of modern art.
Chapter Four: The Traditional Architecture of China and Japan
The document discusses the traditional architecture of China and Japan. It explains that Chinese architectural traditions were influenced by Daoism and Confucianism, which emphasized harmony with nature and order/respect for authority respectively. These traditions were later imported to Japan, where they blended with indigenous Shinto ideas focused on nature worship. Wood was a primary building material in both countries, and moveable partitions were used to blur interior and exterior spaces. The chapter goes on to provide numerous examples of specific architectural styles and structures from China and Japan.
