This document discusses the concept of "action architecture" and presents examples of projects that promote interaction and movement over static forms. It advocates for an architecture that is anticipatory of technological and cultural changes through adaptive, projective designs. Examples shown include temporary installations, parks, and structures that blur boundaries between architecture and landscape in novel ways. The document argues for an active, interventionist approach to ecology through designs that stimulate and qualify the environment through synergistic relationships with nature and technology.
“Fractal Pre-Structured” Building for (Temporary) HousingIDES Editor
The document proposes using fractal geometry as a generative principle for constructing temporary housing structures from modular prefabricated units. It discusses how fractal geometry can be applied to aggregate basic housing modules in a way that scales from the singular unit to complex multi-dimensional structures. The modular units could be shipping containers, cubes, or curved geometries assembled on-site. Aggregating the units according to fractal principles could provide efficient, portable, and adaptable housing solutions for temporary or mobile living situations like disasters or migration.
This document provides an overview of the trans-tonic 57.3 project, which involves the architectural transition of tectonics at the corner of East 57th Street and 3rd Avenue in New York City. It discusses the context and site-specific considerations, as well as the proposed programming which includes a gallery, restaurant, and potential "Xfactor" element like a radio station. The brief outlines the client's desires for a flexible space. Key aspects of the design approach involve resolving contradictions in the work, addressing both local and global scales, and creating an architecture that encourages exploration and discovery. Materiality, light, and the articulation of space are also emphasized as important design tools.

Etienne-Louis Boullée was an influential 18th century French architect known for his abstract geometric style inspired by classical forms. He removed unnecessary ornamentation and inflated geometric shapes to a large scale with repeating elements like columns. His drawings included projects for public buildings such as churches, palaces, and theaters that emphasized regular shapes through symmetry, order and proportion to create a sense of grandeur, beauty and harmony. He also designed cenotaphs and cemeteries meant to evoke dark and somber feelings through sparse, bare walls and shadows.

This document discusses the rise of nationalism and liberalism in the 19th century. Nationalism emerged from a shared cultural identity including language, history, and territory, and nationalists sought independent nation-states. Liberalism promoted individual freedoms and representative democracy over monarchy. The Industrial Revolution and advancements in science led to mass production but also inequality, while optimism grew regarding humanity's ability to progress through science, industry, and the spread of liberal and socialist ideas.

The 19th century was known as a period of eclecticism in architecture. Eclecticism implies that architects were free to choose styles from the past that they felt were appropriate. It incorporated a mixture of elements from previous historical styles to create something new. The two main characteristics of 19th century architecture were the use of a variety of historical styles like Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Second Empire, and the development of new materials and structural methods. Some famous buildings from this period include the Flatiron Building in New York, the Houses of Parliament in London, and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

The Victorian era saw rapid technological advancements and socio-economic changes due to the Industrial Revolution. Architects struggled to find an appropriate style for this time of transition, debating between Neo-Classical and Neo-Gothic styles. New building materials like iron, glass, and concrete emerged, allowing for new construction techniques. While functionality was important, architecture lacked innovation and drew from historic styles like Renaissance and Baroque for inspiration during this period of uncertainty.
Neoclassical architecture ,Late victorian era and gothic revival raashi77
The document provides an overview of Neoclassical architecture. It discusses several substyles that emerged during the Neoclassical period including Early Classical Revival, Greek Revival, Palladianism, and Egyptian Revival. Key characteristics of each style are identified such as full height entry porches for Early Classical Revival and massive columns resembling bundles of sticks for Egyptian Revival. Interior design elements are also covered. The document aims to study and research the characteristics, significance, and importance of these Neoclassical architecture styles.
Origin of Neoclassical architecture and the architects involved in it.Lovely Singh
Neoclassical architecture began in the mid-18th century as a reaction against Rococo ornamentation and a return to classical Greek and Roman architectural forms. Key features included symmetry, columns, triangular pediments, and domes. It originated from excavations of Roman ruins in Italy, publications on antiquity, the arrival of the Elgin Marbles, and Johann Winckelmann's circle of artists in Rome imitating classical ideals. Examples included Robert Adam's English country houses, John Nash's master plan for Regent's Street in London, Andrea Palladio's influential buildings, and Greek Revival architecture in America inspired by ancient democracy. By the late 19th century, Neoclassicism had become highly academic and
Neoclassical architecture emerged in the mid-18th century as a reaction against Rococo style and as an outgrowth of Baroque classicism. It sought to emulate the perceived purity of classical Roman, Greek, and Renaissance styles. Key aspects included evoking these earlier eras but within a Romantic sensibility, and a desire to return to architectural fundamentals with an emphasis on symmetry, simple geometric forms, and columns. Pioneers included Claude-Nicolas Ledoux whose designs for buildings emphasized expressing their functions through their forms.
Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was a 19th century French architect known for his restoration of medieval buildings and development of architectural theory. Some of his most notable restorations included Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Carcassonne fortress, and Sainte-Chapelle. His philosophy of restoration emphasized completeness over historical accuracy, believing buildings should be returned to a hypothetically complete state. Viollet-le-Duc's writings and restorations had a significant influence on later architects and helped establish principles of architectural preservation.
Impact of industrial revolution in architectureShabna Azeez
The Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment led to radical changes throughout the world in the late 18th century. New building materials like cast iron, steel, and glass allowed for larger structures. The Enlightenment promoted rational and scientific thought. In the late 18th century, Neoclassical architecture became popular, taking inspiration from Greek and Roman designs. This style emphasized symmetry, columns, and paying homage to classical prototypes. By the mid-19th century, the negative effects of the Industrial Revolution prompted a revival of classical architecture to beautify new industrial developments.
architecture history - Industrial revolutionomarnene
The document discusses the architectural and social impacts of the Industrial Revolution during the 19th century. Key inventions like the steam engine led to new building types like factories. New materials like cast iron, steel, and glass allowed larger structures to be built. Cities grew as people migrated for work. Living and working conditions for many were difficult, leading to the rise of labor unions and movements for workers' rights.
The document discusses the massive explosion that destroyed parts of Beirut in August 2020. It argues that the explosion was not simply an accident, but rather the result of longstanding corruption within Lebanon's ruling class. Previous reconstructions of Beirut after periods of conflict and destruction have erased the city's history, layering new developments over past ruins. If the latest reconstruction follows the same irrational processes, it risks burying the most recent destruction and never addressing the root causes that led to the explosion. The document proposes that architects must find ways to acknowledge and learn from Beirut's layered history of destruction, rather than allowing it to be erased again through reconstruction.

and the fragmentation of the architectural discourse
Sypnosis reading 4 kenneth frampton towards a critical regionalismewenjiannnnn
Kenneth Frampton's concept of critical regionalism from the 1980s remains relevant for resisting universal techniques and cultivating local identity. Critical regionalism mediates universal civilization by maintaining self-consciousness of local needs and context. Modern urban design has degenerated and led to a phenomenon of placelessness, as discussed by Heidegger, with space becoming an endless continuum. For architecture of resistance, bounded domains favor creation against continuous changes to urban areas, as the planned form of a megalopolis will inevitably change over time.
This presentation by Susana Bautista, Adjunct Faculty, Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism, University of Southern California - explores the notion of museums and placemaking, and how digital technologies are enabling museums to mark their places in new and innovative ways. When museums think about technology today, they must also think about place. A few questions to ask are: What are the new places that museums are occupying in the digital age? How do museums act with their visitors in these new places? How do these “new” places connect with the “old” places? What new places are museum visitors occupying, and what are they doing there? How do museums “make” place, and is there a hub? Placemaking has existed from Stonehenge to the Acropolis, and to monumental buildings centrally placed within a community such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Getty Center; and museums historically have had branches or satellites, programs within the community, and community partners. What is new is how technology allows us to better understand the networked museum experience, to engage its global community of visitors and users, and to connect physical and online places, mobile and fixed experiences.
The document provides an overview of selected works by the author, including architecture projects and writings. It discusses key ideas in the author's approach to architecture, seeing it as a kind of spatial poetry that combines theory and reality through careful design. The author aims to empty themselves into each mark and considers the process of designing to be like writing.
Jean Baudrillard was a French philosopher known for his ideas around simulations and simulacra in a postmodern environment. Some of his most important works that explored these concepts included "Simulacra and Simulations" and "Utopia Deferred." He believed that with advances in media and technology, simulated versions of reality could become indistinguishable from actual reality, resulting in a "hyperreality." Baudrillard used Disneyland as an example of how an imaginary space aims to mask the fact that reality is no longer real through heightened simulations. His work has been influential in understanding the effects of postmodernism and how it can alter perceptions of media and the world.

This document discusses producing spatial knowledge through advanced spatial analysis. It defines spatial knowledge as a methodology based on geographic contributions and digital techniques to represent the physical, perceived, and symbolic dimensions of space. Producing spatial knowledge involves mapping and interpreting spatial information to show realities, transformations over time, and possible scenarios. Advanced spatial analysis uses data from sources like Sensible City Lab to understand how spaces function and support decision-making, though it faces challenges in selecting phenomena to study, integrating different data sources and scales, and accounting for the variable of time. The overall goal is to develop useful and scalable representations of how socio-economic and technological changes influence contemporary cities and territories.

This document is a collection of projects focused on collective housing. It includes 12 projects from various locations around the world. The projects explore topics like modular and adaptable housing, social and affordable housing, urban design, and the relationship between housing and the public/private realms. The document serves as an overview of concepts, tools and ideas shared by a diverse group of designers working on housing challenges in different cultural contexts.
Comparison Of Post-Modernism And The Modern MovementDeborah Gastineau
The document compares post-modernism and modern architecture. Post-modernism rejects endless repetition and welcomes new individualized designs. It emphasizes communication between architecture and humans, conveying ironic or critical messages. Emotional needs are as important as physical needs. Contrary to modernism which focused only on function, post-modernism considers pluralism and cultural variety.
Presentation delivered in the Workshop on Art and Architecture. Second Annual SHARE Conference London, 11-12 May 2012. Hosted by CCW Graduate School, University of the Arts London. More information at:http://arc.housing.salle.url.edu/share_workshop_transdisciplinarity/
This document summarizes Jorge Sánchez Bajo's master's thesis project on unframing collective housing through informality. The project examines how informal settlements and actions can inform collective housing design. It presents 12 projects/workshops focusing on topics derived from informality, such as objects and spaces, making do, agreements and conflicts, spreading out, questions of time, repetition and variation, and reusing spaces. Each project is presented with images, plans, and short texts to explore concepts like dwelling typologies, attitudes, and thinking less like an architect. The goal is to learn from people's intuition in building their own homes and consider informality as an indispensable part of collective housing projects.
This document discusses how contemporary society has become overly focused on visual imagery due to technological influences like television and the internet. This has led architecture to prioritize aesthetics over engaging other senses. The document presents the work of architects Descosterd & Rahm as a case study in designing for the "invisible" dimensions of smell, sound, and climate. It argues that controlling vision with technology could provoke architectural experiences that combine the visible with the invisible senses in new ways.

Critical regionalism is an approach to architecture that seeks to mediate between the global and local languages of architecture. It strives to counter the placelessness of the International Style while also rejecting the ornamentation of Postmodernism. Critical regionalism advocates consciously studying and reinterpreting historical and local building patterns using contemporary techniques. Key aspects include buildings being consciously bounded and establishing a territory, optimizing building systems for the local climate and light conditions, emphasizing the tactile experience over just the visual, and reinterpreting vernacular elements to create a contemporary place oriented by the local culture.

This document provides an overview of the Italian Renaissance, including key figures, concepts, and developments. It discusses 1) humanism and the introduction of linear perspective in art, 2) advances in understanding space and conquest through scientific revolution, and 3) the focus on beauty and harmony in architecture based on principles of proportion and symmetry. Some of the major architects mentioned are Alberti, Brunelleschi, and Palladio. The document also examines related topics like the rise of urban planning, developments in philosophy and science, and the cultural exchange between Europe and other regions through exploration and colonization.
The document discusses architectural principles of proportion and symmetry from antiquity through the Renaissance. It provides examples of how proportion was seen as key to beauty and harmony in buildings from Vitruvius to Alberti and Palladio. Specific structures are discussed like Bramante's San Pietro in Montorio to show how Renaissance architects designed central-plan churches based on classical precedents but also innovated on the forms. The document examines the shift from medieval to Renaissance perspectives through treatises and buildings.

It describes Superkilen, a park in Copenhagen containing objects from around the world selected by community members to represent different cultures. The park acts as a contemporary urban version of a universal garden, bringing people together. It also cites Bjarke Ingels, who led the Superkilen design, saying the project used public participation as the driving force rather than preconceived ideas, creating a park designed by and for the people. Several other projects focusing on regeneration and representing communities are also briefly mentioned.

The document provides an overview of various pavilions and exhibits at an event, including the opening room at the Le Corderie dell'Arsenale, the ephemeral city exhibit at the Kumbh Mela, a water reservoir park exhibit in Medellín, Colombia, and exhibits focused on urban planning and architecture in Durban, South Africa, Germany, Austria, Japan, Italy, and Portugal.
This document defines architectural analysis and outlines its goals and types. Architectural analysis involves breaking down architecture into its constituent elements in order to examine it from multiple perspectives. The goals of analysis include understanding a masterpiece's design process, evaluating innovation, and comprehending the meaning and theories behind a work. Types of analysis covered are experiential, formal, linguistic, typological, morphological, and programmatic. The document also discusses tools for analysis like photographs, sketches, drawings, and models, and provides warnings and potential questions to consider in an architectural analysis.

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

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.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
3. AA >> Advanced Architecture
An action (an architecture) that is advanced is an
action (an architecture) which is necessarily
projective: propositive and anticipatory/anticipating.
An action (an architecture) with the capacity to
connect with technological change (industry and
technique), with cultural progress (thought and
creation) and with scientific logic (research and
development).

installations for ludic uses, Abalos & Herreros, Vincente
Guallart, MVRDV, Riegler & Riewe, Barcellona 1998
5. Action
What we are interested in today is an ‘action
architecture’ defined by a desire to act, to (inter)act.
That is to activate, to generate, to produce, to
express, to move, to exchange and to relate.
To promote interaction between things, rather than
interventions on them. Movements, rather than
positions. Actions rather than figurations. Process,
rather than occurrences.
31. “In France an important public
program is being mounted to
deconstruct the high-rise
housing estates from the 1960s
and 70s
(demolition/reconstruction on a
one-to-one basis), thus
expressing a strong will to
transform the image of the city.
At the same time an important
deficit is observed of public
housing, one which would, on
the contrary, call for an increase
and an acceleration in building
terms.
In this context, we consider that
demolition is aberrant and that
transformation would permit
one to respond to needs in a
more economic, more effective
and more qualitative way.”

46. Antitypes
A surprising image shows a car coupled to an
aeroplane…
This is not an univocal object… it is not a typological
design, but rather an a-typological mechanism; an
antitype.
66. Form (and no-form)
The interest lies in an architecture that has neither
image nor form. That does not express explicitly the
scale in which it is produced.
Today shape is disposition.
70. Ambiguity
Univocal space now yields to a space decidedly
ambivalent…
In a multifaceted, polyphase, definitively non-
essential reality, architecture can create spaces that
are more plural, by virtue, precisely, of being
indeterminate. Implicitly changing and (in)formal.
Multiple. Multiplied and multiplicative.
A building can be a garden. A garden, a building.

122. Devices
Our challenge as architects is to produce new
devices of action… Dispositifs (devices) (open and
evolutionary) rather than design (closed and exact).
130. Diversity
Ours is a time of diversity, calling for constant
simultaneity of individual events in global
structures… evidencing the impact –the emergence-
of the singular upon the collective, not as “part of the
whole”, but rather as specificity “interconnected with
the whole”.
In our time there exists the conditions for assuming
creatively this fragmentation, and thereby attaining
an anthropological universality which also integrates
plurality, difference and discontinuity.
135. Inhabiting
Today, we are witnessing the generalised collapse of
the mythical residential “stereotype”: the “sitting
room-dining room-kitchen-laundry- room-bathroom-
plus three bedrooms, all in ninety square metres”
scheme as the commonly accepted formula.
There is also new awareness of a wandering type of
domestic life, increasingly disseminated throughout
the metropolis: replacement of private space with
service space scattered at the urban level (bar,
restaurants, laundries, sports clubs, leisure centres,
etc) in a city converted into a large dispersed home
for nomadic user.

The project features terraced houses along pedestrian alleyways.
Staircases to reach upstairs units will be mounted externally and
covered in plants. The lush, green atmosphere of the development
will be enhanced by the organic gardens all along the pedestrian
alleys, as well as the greenery covering the buildings’ facades.
Francois planned a vertical garden ...not forgetting to furnish each
flat with some flowerpots, so that everybody got the chance to grow
his/her own plant on the window board!

161. Lightness
Lightness is a term, along
with levity, that can amply
claim to be characteristic
of current architecture.
Insulating layers have lost
weight, becoming
habitable spaces, and the
concepts of interior and
exterior have lost their
definition, having become
mixed one another,
thereby suggesting other
interventions.

172. Precarious(ly)
An approach made up of
reversible relationship, unstable
links, impermanent
constructions, lightweight
structures and fragile
presences.
Certain forms of architecture
can… accept their
inconsistency, their physical and
conceptual precariousness, as
a new value rather than as a
negative quality.
175. Reversible
Reversible is action which is capable of changing the
direction of its own movement. There is something of
an elastic braid about it. It has an unstable presence.
Such strategies could possibly even throw into crisis
the old idea of permanent colonization of and on the
territory… dynamics which would suggest the capacity
to act with the place and with the user with a less
formal, and more informal –unstable and mutable-
attitude.
181. Land-arch
…as an instrument. This
shift has been favoured by
the passage from a
generation obsessed with
the relationship between
architecture and city to
another, the latter more
aware of a new contract
with nature (a nature
evidently epic, mongrel,
manipulated, rather than
domestic and bucolic).
190. New dynamics conform to an incipient vocabulary of a
hybrid contract… Construction that would artificially
integrate movements –or moments- of nature, in some
cases “architecturalising” the landscape (modelling,
cutting, folding…), proposing new topological shapes
(reliefs, waves, folds)…
191. …in others, landscaping (lining, enveloping, covering)
an architecture in ambiguous synergy with the strange
nature that surrounds it.
192. Imaginative formulas capable of favouring this new
natural contract… would reside precisely in its capacity
to incorporate the technical, plastic and perhaps
unheard-of solutions neither paralysed nor diminished
by the presence of the nature, but rather stimulated
precisely by the possibility to incorporating it, of
spurring it, of reformulating it –of enriching it rather
than conserving it.
195. Land(s) in lands
“Operative landscapes” rather than “host landscape”.
As with the city, which has blurred the boundaries separating it
from former extramural territories, today the architectural project
too can blur its profiles –and its edges- in new
geographies of transition. The application of new structural
and technical concepts… now permit the positing of a
deformation of the old Euclidean structures, transforming
them into multilayered spaces… towards almost geological
processes… spaces of folding rather than prismatic
volumes…
Topographies rather than volumes.
“Lands over other lands”.
Constructed geographies rather than architectures.
No longer lovely volumes under the light, but rather
ambiguous landscapes under the sky.
Fields within other fields. Lands in lands.
223. Ecology
nstead of old nostalgic or pseudobucolic ecology
(which freezes landscapes, territories and
environments), we suggest a bold ecology. Based no
onger upon a timid, merely defensive –resistant-
non-intervention, but rather upon a non-impositive,
projecting and qualifying –restimulating- intervention
n synergy with the environment and, also, with
echnology.
An ecology in which sustainability is interaction.
n which nature is also artificial.
n which energy is information and technology is
vehiclisation.
n which to conserve implies always to intervene.
