“Nature, providing the foundation upon which the settlements are created and the frame within which they can function”
“Human”
“Society”
“Shells, or the structures within which a human lives and carry out his different functions”
“Networks, or the natural and human-made systems which facilitate the functioning of the settlements, as for example roads, cycling corridors and infrastructure in general.”

Louis i kahn
Born February 20, 1901 on Saaremmaa Island in Kuressaare.
Kahn's Jewish parents immigrated to the United States in 1906.
His given name at birth was Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky but was changed upon arrival in the US.
Kahn's architecture is notable for its simple, platonic forms and compositions.
Through the use of brick and poured-in place concrete masonry, he developed a contemporary and monumental architecture that maintained a sympathy for the site.
While rooted in the International Style, Kahn's architecture was an amalgam of his Beaux Arts education and a personal aesthetic impulse to develop his own architectural forms.
Kahn received the AIA Gold Medal in 1971 and the RIBA Gold Medal in 1972.
Louis Kahn is considered one of the foremost architects of the late twentieth century.
On March 17, 1974, he died of a heart attack in a men's restroom in Pennsylvania Station in New York City.
Education/ Occupation
He attended the University of Pennsylvania and received his Bachelors degree in architecture at the age of 24.
After college, he worked as a senior draftsman in the office of Philadelphia City Architect John Molitor.
To find his inspiration, he traveled through Europe visiting castles and medieval strongholds in 1928, only 4 years after graduating.
He finally started his own firm in 1935.
While he still designed and worked as a design critic on the side, Louis became a professor of architecture at Yale school of Architecture.
Personal designs
Kahn created many unique an intricate buildings, but among his most memorable were…
* The Yale University Art gallery: 1951.
* The Jonas Salk institute for Biological Studies: 1965
* The Margaret Esherick house: 1961
* The National Assembly building: 1962
Louis Henry Sullivan was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1856. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. He worked as a draftsman for Furness and Hewitt in Philadelphia and for William Le Baron Jenney in Chicago. In July 1874, Sullivan traveled to Europe where he studied in the Vaudremer studio at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

developed an organic and distinctly American
style. He designed numerous iconic buildings.
presentation by KIRTHIGA
2. Accomplishments:
His architectural career lasted almost 70 years.
Frank Lloyd Wright developed the theory "Form and
Function Are One.“
During his final years, he designed two of his most famous
projects, the Guggenheim Museum and the Marin County
Civic Center.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed 1141 homes and buildings, of
those 532 were completed by his death.
Frank Lloyd Wright had a global impact on modern
architecture, influencing design styles not only in America,
but also in Europe and Asia.
3. Basic principles of wright designs :
Organic colours
Simple geometric shapes
Integration of building with
natural surroundings

5. FALLING WATER, SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
The site chosen was a natural landscape area for the weak
end home with a water stream with it.
It was thought that the building would
have a view of stream but fl wright made
it over the stream.
Spaces are designed to bring nature inside the four walls
Cluster organisation around central core
6. Wright used only 4 materials to build Fallingwater
— sandstone, reinforcedconcrete, steel
and glass.
Horizoantal element – concrete.
planes differentiated and accentuate by
changes in colour, texture, and material .
vertical element – native stone.
gives a sclupture quality highlighting
the horizontal
Interiors are simply through vibrant because of use of triadic
colours for furnitures and monochromatic brown colour for walls,
ceiling , floor
7. • Wright used a lot of clear glass to allow the outside to flow
freely into the inside.
• At certain times of day, the
glass becomes very reflective and
reminds some people of the
mirror-like surfaces of a calm
pool of water.
• At night, the glass seems to disappear.
• Wright chose the pale ochre color of the concrete to match the
back of a fallen rhododendron leaf.
9. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM, new york , united states.
• Established in 1937
• Type Art museum
• Frank Lloyd Wright created the
Guggenheim Museum as a series of
organic shapes.
• Circular forms spiral down like
the interior of a shell.
• Visitors to the museum begin on
the upper level and follow a sloping
ramp downward through connected
exhibition spaces.
10. Concept :
• The building itself became a work of art.
• At the core, an open rotunda offers views of artwork
on several levels.
• From the street, the building looks like a white ribbon
rolled into a cylindrical
shape, slightly wider at the
top than at the bottom.
• Internally, the galleries
form a spiral.
11. Its design was inspired by a
"Ziggurat" Babylonian temple
pyramid, inverted.
12. ROBIE HOUSE ,CHICAGO
• The Robie House of
1910 is generally
considered to be Wright’s
“best”Prairie style work.
• This style is characterized
by a dominating horizontal axis,
bandedwindows, and a spacious and open interior plan.
• The exterior is dominated by a lowhipped roof, simple
building materials (mainly brick, wood, and stucco)
13. Fl wright principle was followed
in this house:
strong horizontal lines
hidden entries
simple geometric shapes were followed in robie house glass
14. concept :
• The house was designed for Frederick C. Robie, a bicycle
manufacturer, who did not want a home done in the typical
Victorian style.
• Robie desired a modern floorplan and needed a garage, and a
playroom for children.
• He also required
that his home be
fire-proof, yet
retained an open floor
plan free of closed, box-like rooms that would prevent the
uniformity of decoration and design.
15. Unity temple , lake street , oak park, , united states
Background :
• In 1905, after the original
Unity Church burned down,
the Universalist congregation
of Oak Park, Illinois turned to
architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design them a new
structure.
• And finally, the architect was expected to design not
only the structure, but furniture and stained glass for
the building.
16. • Wright designed Unity Temple in Oak Park (1905) as
a place of worship for the Unitarian faith. This is his
original drawing of the building.
• As is consistent with the Unitarian faith, the
building is stately, solid, and devoid of religious
iconography.
17. Principles:
• the solid concrete
construction, as well as
the incorporation of other
typical Wright elements.
• Simple geometric
shape
• Hidden entries
18. Meaning in architecture :
Falling water :
Repesent water, as it is placed above the falling water .
Robie house :
Represent Land . Constructed by wood, brick .
Guggenheim museum :
Represent social and culture . Since it is a museum , it
has art works that repesent culture .
Unity temple :
Represent Religion . Since it is a church .
19. Awards :
AIA Gold Medal (1949)
Twenty-five year award
Royal Gold Medal (1941)
Famous quotes :
• The mother art is architecture. Without an architecture of our own we have no soul of
our own civilization.
• Form follows function - that has been misunderstood. Form and function should be
one, joined in a spiritual union.
• Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the
day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
