Expressionist architecture developed in early 20th century Europe in parallel with expressionist art movements. It sought to transform reality rather than imitate it through distorting forms for emotional effect. Notable expressionist architects included Erich Mendelsohn, Eero Saarinen, and Bruno Taut. Mendelsohn's Einstein Tower in Potsdam used organic, amorphous forms to symbolize Einsteinian concepts. Saarinen's TWA Terminal at JFK Airport sculpted dramatic curves to express the excitement of travel. Taut's Glass Pavilion at the 1914 Werkbund Exhibition in Cologne was one of the first buildings made entirely of glass, using it to provoke vivid human experiences.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. EXPRESSIONISM
• Expressionism was a modernist movement, initially in
poetry and painting, originating in Germany at the
beginning of 20th century.
• typical trait is to present the world solely from a
subjective perspective distorting it radially for
emotional effects in order to evoke moods or ideas.
• Expressionism was developed as an Avant Garde style
before the first world war.
• The style extended to a wide range of the arts including
expressionist architecture, painting, literature,
theatre, dance, film and music.
3. WHAT IS EXPRESSIONIST
ARCHITECTURE?
• Expressionist architecture was an architectural
movement that developed in Europe during the
first decades of the 20th century in parallel with
the expressionist visual and performing arts that
especially developed and dominated in Germany.
• Expressionism transforms reality rather than
seeking to imitate it.
• Appearances are only semblance, claims the
expressionists;
4. BIONIC
GEOMORPHIC
The genesis of expressionism lies in art
nouveau.
Art nouveau, a decorative art convention
turned to bionic and geomorphic forms.
5. • Expressionism is the way of expressing
something in and around something that is
felt emotionally, from all the things that
happen phenomenally. This is one of the
movements in architecture in the 20th century,
mainly in Europe, where at that time people
fought in the World War I, including the
architects at that time. The political and social
problems also influence the architecture, in
places like Germany, Austria, and Denmark.

7. EXPRESSIONISM
CHARACTERISTICS
• Distortion of form for emotional effect.
• Subordination of realism to symbolic or
stylistic expression of inner experience.
• An underlying effort at achieving the new,

• TWA TERMINAL
• SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE
• GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO
• GLASS PAVILION COLOGNE DEUTSCHER
WERKBUND EXHIBITION
• WALTER GROPIUS’S MONUMENT
11. EXPRESSIONISMEXAMPLES EINSTEIN TOWER IN POTSDAM-BERLIN
-ERICH MENDELSOHN 1919-1922
• Tower built to symbolise Einsteinian concepts. It
was designed to hold Einstein's laboratory.
• The tower was an anthromorphic form.
• Mendelsohn wanted the building to be moulded
rather than built, without angles and with smooth,
rounded corners.
• The building was covered in brick and covered
with concrete.
16. EXPRESSIONISMEXAMPLES TWA TERMINAL, NY
-EERO SAARINEN
• The terminal is sculpted as a symbol of flight-
abstract and not intentionally as a landing
eagle as it has often been described.
• The expressive curves of the design creates
attractive spacious halls and a rare degree of
exhilaration for an airport terminal.
17.
18. • ‘...a building in which the architecture itself would express the drama
and specialness and excitement of travel...a place of movement and
transition...the shapes were deliberately chosen in order to emphasize
an upward-soaring quality of line. We wanted an uplift.’
-eero saarinen
20. GLASS PAVILION
-BRUNO TAUT
• Built in 1914.
• Glass dome structure at cologne deutscher
werkbund exhibition.
• Constructed using concrete and glass.
• The concrete structure had inlaid colored glass
plates on the facade that acted as mirrors.
• The purpose of the building was to
demonstrate the potential of different types of
glass for architecture.It also indicated how the
material might be used to orchestrate human
emotions.
EXPRESSIONISMEXAMPLES
21. • It had a fourteen-sided
base constructed of thick
glass bricks used for the
exterior walls devoid of
rectangles.
• Each part of the cupola
was designed to recall the
complex geometry of
nature.
• The Pavilion structure was
on a concrete plinth, the
entrance reached by two
flights of steps (one on
either side of the building),
which gave the pavilion a
temple-like quality.
• Taut's Glass Pavilion was
the first building of
importance made of glass
bricks.
22.
23. TAUT’S IDEA FOR GLASS PAVILION
• Taut wanted to create a building with a different
structure, and similar to Gothic Cathedrals. Bruno told
that his building wasn't going to have any real function,
it was more to provoke something in someone than a
practical building.
• The Glass Pavilion was one of the first exhibition
building designed as a mechanism to create vivid
experiences, where people would be able to feel, touch
and primarily see.
• The goal of this functionless building as that
architecture would include the other arts of painting
and sculpure, to achive a new, unified expression.
24. CONCLUSION
• Time flattens distinctions such between works
with similar forms. But, the history of
architectural theory is about ideas and not
just the shapes they make.
