Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Walter Gropius
Louis Sullivan
C.R. Mackintosh
Edwin Lutyens
Antoni Gaudi
Postmodern architecture emerged in the late 20th century as a rejection of the rigid formalism and functionalism of Modernism. It is characterized by three main things: the return of ornament and reference to historical styles; a mixing of styles and forms rather than pure aesthetics; and a preference for complexity and contradiction over obvious unity. Key Postmodern architects like Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, and Michael Graves experimented with symbolic ornament, historical references, and unexpected juxtapositions of forms. Their buildings conveyed meaning through signs and allusions to other times and philosophies. Later architects like Frank Gehry took Postmodernism in new directions through experimental deconstructed forms and unusual materials like metal alloys.
The Barcelona Pavilion was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the German pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. It featured free-flowing open space defined by isolated walls and sliding glass elements. Though dismantled after the exhibition, it became highly influential in modern architecture and was reconstructed using the same materials in its original location in 1986.
The document discusses Frank Gehry's approach to architecture and some of his most famous works. It provides background on Gehry and describes how he views each building as a sculptural object that responds to its context. Some of his most iconic buildings highlighted include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, which is clad in titanium, glass and limestone with curved and folded exterior walls, and the Dancing House in Prague, inspired by dancers Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.
Rem Koolhaas is a renowned Dutch architect known for his innovative and gravity-defying structures. After graduating from architecture school in 1972, he founded OMA, his architecture firm, which takes an experimental approach to design through research, model-making, and allowing creative freedom. Some of Koolhaas' most notable buildings include the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, Casa da Música in Porto, and Seattle Central Library, which showcase his bold visions for reinventing typologies through unique forms and spatial experiences.

He is renowned for creating monumental architecture that maintained a sympathy for the site and human scale.
Late Modernism encompasses the overall production of most recent architecture made between the aftermath of World War II and the early years of the 21st century. The terminology often points to similarities between late modernism and post-modernism although there are differences.
Late Modernism, also known as High-tech architecture or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the late 80s, this style became a bridge between modernism and postmodernism.
Architecture in which the images, ideas, and motifs of the Modern Movement were taken to extremes, structure, technology, and services being grossly over stated at a time when Modernism was being questioned.
In the year 1980s the high tech architecture started to look different from the post modern architecture. Many of the themes and ideas which originated during the post modern times were added to the high tech architecture.
Modern architecture is primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, and it is true that the availability o f new building materials such as iron, steel, and glass drove the invention of new building techniques as part of the Industrial Revolution.
He was an architect, designer, urbanist, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture.

The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain was designed by American architect Frank Gehry. Known for his deconstructivist style, Gehry designed the museum with unusual twisted and curving forms clad in titanium and stone. The three gallery floors surround a large central atrium connected by glass walkways. Though asymmetrical on the outside with irregular titanium walls, inside provides visitors with interconnecting exhibition spaces flooded with light from the atrium. The unconventional design has become an iconic landmark and major tourist destination, transforming Bilbao into an international cultural center.
Modern architecture developed in reaction to 19th century styles by emphasizing form following function. New building types arose with industrialization like skyscrapers and warehouses using steel and concrete. Pioneers in the late 19th/early 20th century included Joseph Paxton, Louis Sullivan, and Otto Wagner. The Bauhaus school under Walter Gropius and figures like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe popularized the International Style using steel frames, flat roofs, and open floor plans. Notable modern buildings include the Guggenheim Museum, Seagram Building, and Sydney Opera House.

Neo-futurism is a late 20th–early 21st century movement in the arts, design, and architecture. It is a departure from the cynical attitude of post-modernism and represents an idealistic belief in a better future and "a need to periodize the modern rapport with the technological".
This avant-garde movement is a futuristic rethinking of the aesthetic and functionality of rapidly growing cities.
The industrialization that began worldwide following the end of the Second World War gave wind to new streams of thought in life, art and architecture, leading to post-modernism, neo-modernism and then neo-futurism.
In the Western countries, futurist architecture evolved into Art Deco, the Googie movement and high-tech architecture, and finally into Neo-Futurism.
Neo-futuristic urbanists, architects, designers and artists believe in cities releasing emotions, driven by eco-sustainability, ethical values and implementing new materials and new technologies to provide a better quality of life for city-dwellers.
Neo-futurism has absorbed sоme оf the high-tech architecture’s themes аnd ideas, incorporating elements оf high-tech industry аnd technology іntо building design: technology and context is the focus of some architects of this movement such as Buckminster Fuller, Norman Foster, Kenzo Tange, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Frei Otto, and Santiago Calatrava.
Hassan Fathy was an Egyptian architect born in 1900 who pioneered the use of mud bricks and traditional building designs and layouts in Egypt. He designed over 160 projects from small homes to large communities. He believed in drawing from historical forms and using appropriate technology. Fathy's work was influenced by vernacular Nubian architecture and its use of vaulted roofs, domes, and windcatchers made of mud bricks. He sought to improve housing for the poor in Egypt through his interpretation of indigenous architectural traditions.

Structurally, the roof is supported at three points and the opening between the roof and podium housed additional seating during the Olympics, later infilled with glass. The Aquatics Centre layout aligned the three pools on an axis perpendicular to a nearby bridge with the training pool under the bridge and competition and diving pools within the large enclosed pool hall.
Kanvinde was an influential Indian architect known for introducing modernism and functionalism to architecture in India. He studied under Walter Gropius at Harvard and brought the Bauhaus style to his works. The document discusses Kanvinde's role in developing modern Indian architecture and provides details on his design of IIT Kanpur in the 1950s-60s. Key aspects of the IIT Kanpur design included separating functions into distinct masses arranged for interior functionality and exterior elegance, as well as emphasizing natural light, pedestrian accessibility, and landscaped outdoor spaces.
A grotto is a natural or artificial cave that is associated with human use, either in modern times, historically, or prehistorically. Grottoes originated as places of worship, representing the union between the sky god and earth mother that was believed to have created the world. Contact with the earth mother was felt to be closest in caves containing a spring or fountain, so such places became shrines. Later, Roman emperors and English lords incorporated grottoes with fountains into their gardens as a reference to classical Greek shrines. Grottoes can feature architectural elements on the outside and fountains, sculptures, or other decorations on the inside.

Seoul has implemented smart waste solutions to reduce its waste collection costs, including installing solar-powered waste compaction bins with sensors that have reduced costs by 85%. The document also discusses Seoul's construction waste management strategies, which include encouraging citizen participation in street cleaning once a month and promoting the separation, recycling, and reuse of various construction and demolition wastes like concrete, brick, wood, glass, steel, plastic and more. The goals are to reduce costs, disposal impacts, and use of landfill space by developing markets for recycled construction materials.
The document discusses the concept of sustainable happiness and whether people need to sacrifice their life quality to live sustainably. It introduces the idea that pursuing happiness without negatively impacting others, the environment, or future generations would require significant changes in behavior and policy. However, small, conscious choices around areas like fair trade, transportation, and manufacturing can contribute to sustainable living without compromising quality of life. Overall, the conclusion is that major sacrifices are not needed - it is the accumulation of minor sustainable choices that can make a significant difference.
Aranya Bhawan, the office building of the Rajasthan Forest Department in Jaipur, underwent an energy efficiency retrofit project. Through energy modeling and retrofits to the building envelope and systems, the project achieved 44% estimated energy savings and a 2% increase in construction cost. Post-occupancy monitoring found the actual energy performance index was lower than modeled, at 43 kWh/m2/year, due to less heating needed than assumed. HVAC accounted for over half of annual electricity usage. A solar PV system provided 5% of the building's electricity in its first year of operation.
1. Translucent wood can be used for windows and solar panels by removing wood's lining through nanoscale tailoring, creating a translucent material with construction applications. It is a low-cost renewable resource developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology.
2. Students created hydroceramics, a cooling material, by combining clay with hydrogel. The hydrogel absorbs then releases water to reduce indoor temperatures by up to 6 degrees Celsius.
3. Researchers developed bricks using cigarette butts to reduce environmental impact, innovatively utilizing waste.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Builds Mosques , School ,And Homes For Islamic
Egyptian People.
“The structural elements provide endless interest for the eye. If houses have to
be built at all, in sufficient quantity, they must be built without money.We must
go right outside the framework of the monetary system, bypass the factories,
and ignore the contractors.“
-Hassan Fathy
13. ➢ was one of the first architects to break with modern architecture and to found a new approach based on a conception of
interpreting forms and masses from the past.
➢ He was unique in believing that this language could exist alongside that of an aggressively modern one that cut all ties with
the past he Designed 160 separate projects from modest country retreats to fully planned communities, markets, schools,
theatres, places for worship and for recreation.
Philosophy

➢ Usages Of Local Materials
➢ Trained Local Peoples To Reduce Labour Cost
➢ Passive Cooling
➢ He Utilized Ancient Design And Material To Integrated
A Knowledge Of Rural Egyptian.
➢ The belief in the primacy of human values in architecture
➢ The importance of a universal rather than a limited approach
➢ The use of appropriate technology • The need for socially
oriented, cooperative construction techniques
➢ The essential role of tradition
➢ The re-establishment of cultural pride through the art of
building
14. ABD AL-RAHMAN NASSIF HOUSE
➢ Location: Saudi Arabia
➢ Date: 1973
➢ Building type: residential
➢ The house was built with stone block recovered
from the demolition of the traditional tower
houses in the old city, which the client
unsuccessfully tried to save.
➢ Rather than using the familiar dome over the
majlishere, he felt that an octagonal shukshieka
would be more regionally appropriate, and the use
of this particular element carries over into a
larger house designed in tabuk.
➢ The importance of the Nassif house comes mainly
from its early idealistic and innovative attempt to
revive Jeddah’s lost heritage at the time when it
was invaded by the modern office blocks and
shopping malls which necessitated the demolition
of many of its historic buildings

Tadao Ando
17. ➢ Style - element of Light,Water, concrete and glass.
Simplified, rectilinear forms.
➢ favors designing complex spatial circulation while
maintaining the appearance of simplicity.
➢ Bare concrete walls that define the spaces within.
Interior of the building are the form itself, ridicules
the idea of masking it.
Philosophy
“In all my works, light is an important controlling factor.”
“I create enclosed spaces mainly by means of thick concrete walls.”
“When the external factors of a city’s environment require the wall
to be without openings, the interior must be especially full and
satisfying.”
“I create architectural order on the basis of geometry squares,
circles, triangles and rectangles. I try to use forces in the area where
I am building, to restore the unity between house and nature (light
and wind).”
18. KOSHINO HOUSE:
Location Ashiya, Japan Date 1981
Building Type house
Construction System concrete
Style Modern
Introduction
• "The house, byTadao Ando for the designer
Koshin, is a veritable maze of lights and shadows.
• The architect seeks to reconcile the tenets of
international modernism with tradition and
landscape, in this case, Japanese.
• So ,The House Koshino is an example of
contemporary architecture built in two parallel
wings that barely interrupt the landscape.

21. Church of the Light, 1999.
➢ LOCATION: Ibaraki, Osaka, Japan
CONTEXT:
➢ Tightly-packed residential neighborhood
➢ Very small space
➢ Location influences form
➢ L-shaped wall separates church from busy
surrounding.
➢ No good views, so the windows are
minimal – only the distinctive narrow cross
window and a window opening into the L-
shaped wall
➢ “The building can be described simply as a
bare concrete box with a wall cutting
through it at a 15 degree angle.“
22. ➢ (born 26 August 1927)an Indian architect
➢ Apart from his international fame as an
architect, Dr. Doshi is equally known as an
educator and institution builder.
➢ Over the years Doshi has created
architecture that relies on a sensitive
adoption and refinement of modern
architecture within an Indian context.
Balkrishna Vithaldas Doshi
•“I hesitate calling myself an architect because the more I think I
know what architecture is, the less I feel I know about its true
calling.” ...
23. Philosophy
• The building profile will have Natural Light,Air Movement and
Access Elements against the sky to express the Cosmic
Relationship.
• The building base will gradually widen towards the ground
through Platforms,Terraces, and Steps.
• The building mass will integrate roof, rainwater, cascades,
water bodies, natural landscapes, gardens and foliage
• The external finish of the building will express one
homogenous mass but will have adequate details, textures and
surface modulations
• The main arrival to the building will be at a higher or a raised
level- with provision for a lower entry to express duality.
• Not all movements within the building will be symmetrical but
will shift axis to give unexpected experiences and provide
ambiguous or dual impressions…”
• Finally aesthetic considerations will take into account local
symbolism, context, and associations • Casting of shadows,
breaking of mass, rhythms in the structure, solids, voids, will be
the mode of expression

29. Philosophy
➢ All his creations were in strict conformity with these three
principles:-
➢ FUNCTIONALISM • There buildings were always conceived
with first priority given to its functions, and the social values
when designing spaces. • He rejected symmetry.
➢ MODERN ARCHITECTURE AND BRUTALISM •
Simplification of form and creation of ornament from the
structure • Elimination of unnecessary detail •Visual
expression of structure, as opposed to the hiding of
structural elements Salk Institute, California Louis Kahn
Bauhaus,Germany Walter Gropius
➢ Brutalism is a child of modern architecture • Typically very
linear, fortress like and blockish, often with a predominance
of concrete construction • Developed to create functional
structures at a low cost, but eventually designers adopted
the look for other uses such as college buildings Boston city
hall, USA Gerhardt Kallmann
➢ REGIONALISM Inevitably based on the exigencies of • local
climate, • building materials and • social conditions • sound
climatological principles.
