Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect known for promoting organic architecture that was in harmony with humanity and the environment. Some of his most famous works include Fallingwater, which was built directly over a waterfall in Pennsylvania. Fallingwater used reinforced concrete, steel, glass and sandstone to appear as if it was part of the natural surroundings. It became renowned for being built in harmony with nature rather than just overlooking it. Wright designed the house to have the waterfall incorporated into the occupants' daily lives rather than just being something they looked at occasionally. Fallingwater demonstrated Wright's mastery of using basic shapes and modern construction techniques to create structures that blended seamlessly with their natural settings.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for pioneering the Prairie School style of architecture. Some key aspects of the Prairie Style include strong horizontal lines, cantilevered projections, wide eaves, and an emphasis on geometry and forms inspired by nature. In 1904, Wright designed the Larkin Building in Buffalo, New York, which embodied his vision of productive labor but was demolished in 1950.

Frank Lloyd Wright was born in 1867 in Wisconsin and developed a passion for architecture as a university student. He left school before graduating and moved to Chicago, where he worked for the architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan. There, Louis Sullivan influenced Wright with his philosophy of "form follows function" and Wright went on to develop his concept of "Organic Architecture," designing structures that flowed naturally with their surroundings. Some of Wright's most famous works include Fallingwater, built over a waterfall for the Kaufmann family, and the Guggenheim Museum in New York, known for its spiral design.
Marsilio Ficino was the most influential Renaissance Neoplatonist who developed ideas from Plato and Neoplatonism. He founded the Academy in Florence, which disseminated Neoplatonic ideas through discussion and literature. Ficino's most important work was Platonic Theology, which synthesized Neoplatonism with Christianity. He believed the immortal human soul was the center of the universe and mediator between ideas and the physical world. This view emphasized humanity's dignity. Ficino also believed all religions worshipped the same God in different ways, with Christianity being most complete. He developed the concept of Platonic love through spiritual friendship that mirrored love of God.
Neoplatonism began in Alexandria in the 3rd century AD and was characterized by a categorical opposition between the spiritual and physical realms. It hypothesized mediating agencies like the nous and world soul that transmit divine power from the One to the many. Neoplatonism advocated for ascetic discipline as a means of liberation from the material world through rigorous spiritual practices. While it had some institutional support through academies like those founded by Marsilio Ficino, Renaissance Platonism lacked coherence as a unified school or movement of thought.
Men's fashion during the Renaissance included hats like flat caps for peasants and tall hats for nobility. Shirts had billowy sleeves, and doublets or vests were worn over top. Pants included loose breeches or trunkhose that puffed out. Noblemen wore richer materials like velvet while peasants made do with cheaper fabrics. Women's undergarments included chemises or shifts worn under tight-lacing corselets to shape the figure. Outer dresses had low necklines and full sleeves. Children dressed similarly to adults, with girls wearing kirtles and boys wearing shirts and doublets. Color symbolism included red for nobility and blue for fidelity. Common materials were wool, linen and cotton while
Renaissance sculpture in Italy from 1400-1500 saw a shift from group production to recognition of individual artists. Patrons including wealthy families and the Catholic Church commissioned works from masters like Donatello, who helped establish realistic proportions and anatomy in sculptures. Materials included bronze, marble, and terracotta. Common subjects were religious figures and scenes from the Bible, with increasing naturalism and references to classical antiquity.
1. The passage discusses how to achieve a vision of splendor and beauty by looking within oneself.
2. It advises the reader to cut away excesses and imperfections through introspection, like a sculptor crafting a statue, until their inner being shines with virtue and goodness.
3. When one knows they have achieved this pure state of being, they will be able to have a vision of the "mighty Beauty" and comprehend real splendor.
Italian Renaissance architects based their designs on classical Roman examples and considered studying Roman ruins in Rome essential to their training. Key figures who advanced Renaissance architecture included Filippo Brunelleschi, the first major Renaissance architect known for his dome design of Florence Cathedral, Leon Battista Alberti who aspired to recreate ancient Roman glory through his building facades, and Andrea Palladio who specialized in domestic villas drawing on Roman models and wrote an influential treatise on architecture.
Neo-Platonism was a philosophical movement that combined Plato's ideas with Christianity and influenced many Renaissance artists. It saw beauty and art as a way to understand God. Botticelli's works The Birth of Venus and Primavera depicted Neo-Platonic ideas of divine beauty entering the world. Michelangelo also embraced Neo-Platonism and sought to reveal ideal forms within the material. Raphael's Three Graces referenced Neo-Platonic symbolism of love and virtue. However, Neo-Platonism declined during the Counter-Reformation as some saw it as heretical.

Post-Modern Architecture and the architects involoved in it.Rohit Arora
Contains the comparison between modern architecture and post-modern architecture. The reasons that led to post-modern architecture. The architects who made important buildings with post-modern architecture.
Postmodernism emerged in the late 1960s as a reaction against modernism's rigidity and lack of context. It manifested in new art forms like conceptual art, minimalism, and performance art. Postmodernist architecture moved away from modernism's formal rules by incorporating symbolic references and classical elements. Major postmodern architects included Venturi, Moore, Piano, and Johnson, whose works emphasized eclecticism and challenged notions of universal truths. Postmodern practices in the visual arts involved appropriating and questioning existing works through the works of artists like Kruger, Sherman, and Levine.
- Adolf Loos was an Austrian and Czech architect and theorist of modern architecture born in 1870. He pioneered a modern style characterized by simplicity and lack of ornamentation. His designs emphasized rich materials and craftsmanship. Major works include the American Bar in Vienna and the Villa Müller houses.
- Louis Kahn was an American architect, educator, and philosopher born in 1901. He developed a spiritual philosophy of architecture focused on form and light. Notable buildings include the Salk Institute, Kimbell Art Museum, and Yale Center for British Art which featured his concepts of symmetry and separation of space.
- Kahn's Fisher House in Pennsylvania exemplified his idea of "two cubes" merging at an angle
Adolf Loos was an Austrian architect born in 1870 who helped pioneer modern architecture. He was inspired by Louis Sullivan's philosophy of "form follows function" and advocated for smooth, clear surfaces without ornamentation. Loos became known for his essay "Ornament and Crime" which criticized decorative elements on useful objects. Some of his most notable works included the Looshaus in Vienna, considered one of the first modern buildings for its mixed commercial and residential use, and the Villa Moller in Vienna, which featured his "Raumplan" concept of flexible interior spaces defined by non-bearing walls. Loos sought to make architecture more precise by linking beauty and utility through simplicity of form.
Postmodern architecture emerged in the late 1970s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modernism. It is characterized by (1) a return to decorative ornamentation and references to historical architectural styles, (2) a emphasis on contextualism and addressing the materials and forms of surrounding buildings, and (3) a rejection of modernism's doctrine that "less is more." Influential postmodern architects like Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves designed buildings that incorporated historical references and ornamentation in new ways.
Robert Venturi was an influential American architect known for pioneering postmodern architecture. Some of his notable works include the Vanna Venturi House (1964), which rejected modernism's orthogonality and minimalism, and helped establish postmodernism. He also designed the Episcopal Academy Chapel (2008), with its layered walls that allow light and movement. Venturi believed architecture should communicate meaning and reference history through complexity, contradiction, and symbolism.
This document provides an overview of architectural styles and influential designs from different time periods ranging from the late 19th century Arts and Crafts movement to modern structures from the 2000s. It features works from pioneers like William Morris, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Gehry that helped establish styles like the International Style and pushed the boundaries of what was possible with materials like steel and glass. The designs show the evolution of architecture and how it was influenced by new technologies, philosophies, and global exchange of ideas.
This document provides an overview of post-modern architecture. It discusses how post-modernism emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of modernism's puritanical rules. Key figures like Robert Venturi argued for complexity and contradiction over simplicity. The document profiles several prominent post-modern architects like Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, Michael Graves, and Frank Gehry. It examines some of their notable works and how they incorporated historical references, ornamentation, and contextual designs.
Modernism arose in the late 19th century as a philosophical movement in response to industrialization. Notable modernist architects included Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Modern architecture developed new building materials and techniques. Styles included the Chicago School, Expressionism, the International Style, and Brutalism. Postmodernism emerged in the 1970s as a reaction against modernism. Deconstructivism from the 1980s fragmented and layered forms. Folding architecture from the 1990s integrated differences through smooth layering inspired by geology and cooking.
1. Le Corbusier was commissioned to design the new capital city of Chandigarh after the partition of India and Pakistan in the 1950s, developing the city based on his principles of modern architecture and urban planning.
2. Some of his most notable works in Chandigarh include the Secretariat building, High Court building, and Assembly building which featured his signature exposed concrete construction and modular design.
3. He also designed other projects in India such as a museum in Ahmedabad which featured a roof protecting from the hot climate and interior courtyards bringing natural light and ventilation into the building
The document provides information on several influential modern architects and their works:
- The International Style emerged in the 1920s-1930s with characteristics of rectilinear forms, light planes stripped of ornamentation, and use of glass, steel and concrete.
- Frank Lloyd Wright designed over 1000 structures in his philosophy of organic architecture that blended with nature, like Fallingwater. Mies van der Rohe pioneered modern architecture using steel and glass like his Farnsworth House.
- Le Corbusier developed the five points of architecture used in works like the Villa Savoye. Gropius founded the Bauhaus School and designed the Fagus Factory using modern materials.
An architectural style that emerged around early 1960s and was against the architectural styles advocated by Le Corbusier and Ludwig vies Van der Rohe.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a pioneering German-American architect known for his work in modernist architecture. He envisioned new structural systems and applied modern style concepts to numerous designs throughout his career. His New National Gallery achieved an unprecedented modern style focused on light, transparency, and organized space. Mies was born in Germany and gained experience in traditional craftsmanship as a young man before becoming an independent architect commissioning projects in traditional styles. Later he focused on concrete construction and after the 1930s utilized steel and glass, being more precise and achieving light, airy designs through new technologies. He had a significant influence on modern architecture in America.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect. The architect responsible for the dictum "Less Is More," He is commonly referred to and was addressed as Mies, his surname.
history of contemporary architecture - 11. Expressionism.pptDania Abdel-aziz
Expressionism was an early 20th century art movement centered in Germany that sought to convey deep emotional content through abstraction and distortion rather than realism. In architecture, Expressionist buildings often had sculptural, irrational forms that were personalized and idiosyncratic. Bruno Taut was a German architect active during this period who is considered an Expressionist. Some of his notable works include the Glass Pavilion built in 1914, made of concrete and brightly colored glass, and the Horseshoe Estate residential development built in Berlin between 1925-1927, featuring curved buildings arranged around a central pond. Expressionist architecture tended to use materials like glass, steel and brick, and forms that were individualistic compared to other styles of the time.
