This presentation describes about the psychology of how the modern architecture has overruled the traditional way.

1. EMERGING MODERN
TECHNOLOGY FROM
TRADITIONAL WAY OF
INDIAN ARCHITECTURE
#architectpsychology

2. TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN
INDIAN ARCHITECTURE
•There were three main time periods or ages when tools were the main technological
development: The Stone Age, The Bronze Age and the Iron Age.
•Iron technology is a vast theme covering more than 3000 years.
•Indian mastered the technology of making extremely tough steel know as the
Wootz.
•The development of pyro-technology gave men the skill to control and
manipulate fire.
•Societies advance when their technologies advance.
•Technological progress to be the primary factor driving the development of Indian
architecture.

3. THE STONE AGE
The first tool-makers:
This period of time is called the Stone Age because these very early men
created tools from stone. The Stone Age ran from about 2 million years ago
to about 10,000 years ago.

5. THE BRONZE AGE
Iron and Bronze Age Architecture
The Bronze Age is dated between 1800 - 600 BC the Iron Age is dated between 600 BC - 400 AD. Iron
and Bronze Age Architecture emerged as the social and cultural environment moved on from small
Neolithic groups of people of the Stone Age to much larger tribes. Bronze and Iron Age Hillforts mark
the transition to an organised community of people with leaders or Kings. Tribal disputes and warfare
escalated as did the use of more sophisticated and lethal weapons made first of Bronze and then of Iron.

7. MODERN ARCHITECTURE
•Modern architecture is a term applied to the period in architecture history
during the 20th century, with its exact definition and scope varying widely.
•Modern architecture began with the advancement and the modernization of
efforts to reconcile the principles underlying architectural design with rapid
technological society.
•It was based upon new technologies of construction, particularly the use
of glass, steel and reinforced concrete; and upon a rejection of the
traditional neoclassical architecture and Beaux-Arts styles.

8. ADVANCES IN BUILDING
TECHNOLOGY
•With the industrial revolution, the availability of newly-available building
material such as iron, steel, and sheet glass drove the invention of new
building techniques.
•The introduction of section beam paved the way for the leading widespread
of usage of iron construction.
•The further development were the steel framed skyscraper which made the
improvement in building technology of modernised architecture.

9. MID-CENTURY REACTION
•As the international style took hold, others architects reacted to or strayed
from its purely functionalist form, while at the same time retaining highly
modernist character.
•Mid-century modernism, or organic modernism was very popular due to its
democratic and playful nature.

10. NEW STRUCTURES AND NEW
FORMS
Tube architecture:
•“A three dimensional spaced structure composed of three, four or possibly
more frames, brace frames or sheer walls, joined at or near their edges to
form a vertical tube like structure system capable of resisting lateral force in
any direction by cantilevering from the foundation”

12. CRITICISM AND REACTION
•Modern architecture meet with some criticism due to the over ruling of
traditional architecture on the grounds of universal, elitist and lacked
meaning.
•The loss of traditionalist structures to make way for new modernist
construction, especially via the Urban renewal movement led to further
criticism.

13. POSTMODERNISM
•Architecture explored postmodern architecture which offered a blend of pre-
modern elements and deliberately sought to move away from rectilinear
design towards more eclectic style.
•Although modern and postmodern design complete with a revival of
traditional architecture design in commercial and institutional architecture,
residential design continues to be dominated by the traditional aesthetic.

14. ANALYSIS
•In ancient architecture their was use of natural resources or readily available
materials like stone, sand, etc.
•As the emergence of modern architecture started the use of new and
different type of materials like steel, cement, etc.
•As the emergence started from traditional to modern, the way of techniques
also started by time to time.
