This document provides details about Louis Kahn's Fred E. and Elaine Cox Clever House in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Some key points:
- The house was commissioned in 1967 and is one of only nine built houses designed by Kahn.
- The central living room is surrounded by five smaller rooms, each with a pyramidal roof. The living room has a complex roof structure made of four large angled sections.
- The property is currently in disrepair with unkempt landscaping, which is a shame as it is an important work by a prominent architect.
This document provides information on several architectural projects designed by Hari K.G.Nambiar including:
- Villa Savoie at Poissy from 1929-1931, with an upper level dwelling and hanging garden positioned above columns.
- The Sarabhai House in Ahmedabad from 1955, oriented for winds with a brise-soliel facade and vaulted ceilings.
- The Shodhan house in Ahmedabad from 1956, with a brise-soliel elevation, roof parasol, and three apartments on the top level.

Villa Savoye, completed in 1931, was designed by Swiss architect Le Corbusier as a private country house. It is considered one of the most influential buildings of the International style and cemented Le Corbusier's reputation. The villa was built according to Le Corbusier's five points of modernist architecture and became iconic for its use of pilotis, a roof garden, free floor plan, horizontal windows, and unconstrained facades. While pioneering modern design, the villa also proved complex to build and faced issues that highlighted tensions between new and traditional construction methods.

Le Corbusier developed the Modulor system in the 1940s to establish harmonious proportions in architecture based on the human figure. The system uses the golden ratio and Fibonacci sequence to determine dimensions. He applied this system to projects like the Villa Savoye and Unité d'Habitation. The Villa Savoye exemplifies Le Corbusier's five points of architecture through its pilotis, free facade, free floor plan, ribbon windows, and green roof. The Unité d'Habitation in Marseille was an early experiment in mass housing and featured modular floor plans and elevations based on the golden ratio.

The document compares the architectural works of an international architect, Keiji Ashizawa, to a local building in Jordan called S-House designed by Sahel Al Hiyari. It analyzes several of Ashizawa's projects in Tokyo that utilize natural lighting and ventilation strategies like courtyards and skylights. S-House also focuses on an internal landscape and contrasts a simple exterior with a rich interior. There are similarities found between the two approaches, like introversion, simplicity, and emphasis on interior spaces over facades. Both designers achieve privacy while integrating local materials and customs.
The Linked Hybrid project in Beijing, China consists of eight residential towers and a hotel structure that are interconnected by elevated public bridges containing amenities. The development uses geothermal energy from over 600 underground wells for heating and cooling most of the buildings. It is considered one of the largest green residential projects in the world due to its extensive use of sustainable design features such as geothermal energy, solar power, water recycling, and green spaces.
This document provides information on different types of apartments and apartment design considerations. It discusses studio, garden, secondary suite, maisonette, two-story flat, loft, and communal apartment types. It also covers apartment building entries, setbacks, natural ventilation, and habitable room height and depth standards to promote effective cross ventilation and comfortable living spaces.
High-tech architecture emerged in the 1970s and is characterized by structures made of steel and glass with prefabricated materials. It emphasizes lightness, reflected surfaces, and ecological design. Key aspects are a symbiosis of technology and architecture and revealing the building's structure. Important examples include Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers' Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Other influential high-tech architects are Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, I.M. Pei, and Renzo Piano.
Frank Gehry renovated his 1920 home in Santa Monica, California in the late 1970s in a daring deconstructivist style that shocked neighbors. He kept the original Dutch colonial structure but cut holes in walls, rebuilt them at odd angles, and wrapped the exterior in corrugated metal and other industrial materials. This transformed the quiet home into a symbol of deconstruction. The renovation added twisted volumes around and through the original structure, blurring boundaries between interior and exterior in a complex relationship between old and new forms.
This document provides a brief history and overview of several common residential architectural styles in the United States, including Colonial, Dutch Colonial, French Colonial, Spanish Colonial, Colonial Revival, Beaux Arts, Foursquare, Cape Cod, Split Level, Raised Ranch, and Greek Revival. It discusses the origins and key characteristics of each style, and includes examples of floor plans and architectural details. The author hopes readers find this informative and enjoyable.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, known as Le Corbusier, was a pioneering Swiss-French architect who developed new styles of modern architecture. Some of his key contributions included developing the Domino house system during World War I and emphasizing five points of architecture including pilotis, free facades, open floor plans, ribbon windows, and roof gardens. Le Corbusier designed several major projects including the UN headquarters in New York and the city of Chandigarh in India. One of his most famous designs was the Unité d'Habitation apartment building in Marseilles, which attempted to realize his urban planning vision on a small scale.
Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, better known as Le Corbusier, was a pioneer of modern architecture and a leader of the International Style. The prominent—and largely self-taught— architect was also an accomplished painter and writer.
Le Corbusier was a pioneering Swiss-French architect and urban planner. The document provides details on some of Le Corbusier's key architectural ideologies and designs including the Pilotis, Roof Garden, Free Floor Plan, Elongated Windows, and Free Facade. It summarizes several of Le Corbusier's landmark buildings such as the Villa Savoye, Unite d'Habitation, Notre-Dame-du-Haut Chapel, and the Mill Owners' Association Building, highlighting his signature design elements and approaches to addressing function and climate.
The document discusses key aspects of modernist architecture and design. It describes De Stijl's emphasis on simplicity, primary colors, and asymmetry. It profiles Le Corbusier and his five points of architecture. It examines two of Le Corbusier's works - the Villa Savoye, known for its pilotis and free floor plan, and Notre Dame du Haut with its soft forms and colored glass. It also covers the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, including the Barcelona Pavilion with its free plan and use of steel and glass, and the Farnsworth House exemplifying the International Style.
The Unité d'Habitation in Marseille, France was Le Corbusier's first large-scale housing project completed in 1952. It consisted of 337 apartments spread across 18 floors designed with communal spaces like shops and a roof garden to encourage social interaction. The building used reinforced concrete and employed Le Corbusier's modular system to ensure proper human scale. It was an early example of high-density housing that influenced the Brutalist style through its use of exposed concrete construction.
Le Corbusier designed the Maisons Jaoul in Paris between 1954-1956. The two houses, House A for Andre and Suzanne Jaoul and House B for their son Michel and his wife Nadine, featured Le Corbusier's signature Brutalist style with exposed concrete and an emphasis on his five points of architecture. Key elements included pilotis, a free floor plan, horizontal windows, a roof garden, and vaulted ceilings providing dramatic interior light.

theme of the MODERN ARCHITECTURE 01.pptxAQIBIMRAN3
Modern architecture emerged in the early 20th century as architects explored new materials like steel and concrete and sought to design buildings that expressed the modern industrial age rather than being influenced by past styles. Three key figures that helped define modern architecture were Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Mies van der Rohe. Le Corbusier developed principles like using pilotis to elevate structures on stilts and having long ribbons of windows. His Villa Savoye exemplified these principles. Mies van der Rohe is known for his dictum "Less is More" and designs like the Barcelona Pavilion that used a steel frame and glass walls. Modern architecture emphasized simplicity, exposing structures, and making innovative use of new
Le Corbusier was a pioneering modern architect from Switzerland who developed five key principles of modern architecture. Some of his most notable works that exemplified these principles included the Villa Savoye built in 1931, which featured pilotis supporting the structure above the ground level and a roof terrace. Another work was the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts built in 1963 at Harvard, which inverted the five principles by expressing them on the exterior rather than interior of the building. Both works featured open floor plans, horizontal windows, and detached facades not bound by the structure.
Le Corbusier was a pioneering modern architect born in Switzerland in 1887. He is known for developing new construction techniques using reinforced concrete and an open floor plan supported by pilotis. His Villa Savoye from the 1920s exemplified his "Five Points" of modern architecture and had great influence. Later, he designed the Centre Le Corbusier, his last building, making use of prefabricated steel elements and a free-floating roof. He was also involved in the design of the United Nations Headquarters building in New York City.
The Weissenhofsiedlung settlement in Stuttgart, Germany was built in 1927 as a model housing exhibition organized by the German Work Federation under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. 17 architects constructed 21 buildings with 63 apartments showcasing modern design. Mies van der Rohe designed Houses 1-4 with a flexible floor plan using movable walls. Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret designed Houses 14-15 using Le Corbusier's Five Points of Architecture with a horizontal window and transformable living space divided by sliding partitions. The exhibition demonstrated modern urban housing solutions for different social classes.

Topic: This paper describes the design and influence of a seventeen-story apartment building called the Unité d’Habitation that was built between 1947 to 1952 in the southern French city, Marseilles. The Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier designed the building and him who expected to be the prototype for mass housing from the modern period. This building also became the apex of his life’s work. It had an enormous influence on the architectural profession, also formulated design principles after World War II.
The development of the design of the building is explained, together with the relevant influences. A critical investigation concentrates on the kitchen design is presented, along with a commentary on its role as a model for the new modern lifestyle.
Introduction
Among the masters who laid the foundation of modern architecture and design, my favorite is Le Corbusier. Unlike the German absolutism of Mies Van der Rohe and Gropius, Le Corbusier who is from France is more of an artist. Perhaps the reinforced concrete houses of Mies Van der Rohe and Gropius can be directly copied in large quantities. But the works of Le Corbusier are always modern and straightforward at first glance, but with a particular taste, the core must be classical and elegant.
Unité d’Habitation's apartments typically reflect this. As entrusted by the French government, designed to accommodate as many people as residential buildings, Le Corbusier did not merely develop it into today's great matchbox all over the world. This design was to meet the most modern requirements for hygiene, aesthetics, and comfort.However, he spent a lot of state of mind, the personalization, refinement, let these people living at the houses to exclaim and got amazed by the modern lifestyle: buildings can also be so designed, the apartments can also decorate so.
After World War II, French government asked Le Corbusier to make proposals for the housing of 14,000 new inhabitants in Saint-Gaudens, for a new industrial zone next to the port of La Rochelle, and to re-build the half of Saint-Dié that had been wantonly destroyed by the retreating German army.
Then, Le Corbusier made his proposal by combing his five points principles to design a new type of architecture for united housing: Unité d’Habitation, built-in 1952 in Marseille, the 18-story concrete box is a symbol of the brutalist architecture that inspired Le Corbusier’s vision of a new city. Unite d’Habitation was the catalyst for the widespread adoption of Modern Movement architecture after World War II. The habitat residence should not be a landmark building like the Sydney opera house, but a prototype of a vast number of buildings built around the world. How did Le Corbusier make this significant movement that influenced the Modernism to later French design principles? What the outcomes derives between Le Corbusier and his primary interior designer: Charlotte Perriand, who also.
Fearon Hay is an internationally acclaimed architecture firm based in New Zealand. They designed Lindsay, an exclusive residential development in Brighton, Australia in collaboration with other firms. Fearon Hay is known for combining classic design principles with an adaption to the natural environment. Their buildings have sweeping and ambitious designs but also focus on functionality and fitting into their surroundings. Brighton has established itself as an epicenter for mid-century modernism with many notable architect-designed homes built in the 1950s and 1960s that received awards. Lindsay presents an outstanding example of Fearon Hay's celebrated design approach and philosophy.
The document provides an analysis of several modernist houses designed by prominent architects including Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Luis Barragan. It summarizes key projects such as Le Corbusier's Villa La Roche-Jeanneret House from 1923-1925, the Weissenhof Estate designed by multiple architects in 1927, and Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye from 1928-1931. Floor plans, sections, elevations, and diagrams are included to illustrate the designs. Brief biographies are also given for each architect and descriptions of how the designs reflected the modernist styles of the time.

Quick Description: *FR+ L’appartement, qui occupe les deux derniers niveaux de l’immeuble Molitor fut

floors of his Immeuble Molitor.
Long Description:
*FR+ La présence toute proche d’équipements sportifs, du bois de Boulogne et la possibilité d’une
double-exposition enthousiasmèrent Le Corbusier qui voyait ici réunies les conditions d’une ville
radieuse. Il y construisit un immeuble qui appartient résolument à la modernité : ossature en béton et
façade de verre et d’acier. Le maître se réserva le dernier étage pour y établir sa résidence-atelier.
L'immeuble est situé, d'une part, sur les parcs de sport qui ont recouvert les anciens fortifs, sur une
profondeur de 200 mètres, d'autre part, sur des jardins qui occupent les premiers plans de Boulogne et
qui sont dominés par l'horizon des collines de Saint-Cloud et de Suresnes.
Au IVe Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne à Athènes, Le Corbusier a affirmé que les
éléments de l'urbanisme étaient : le ciel, les arbres, l'acier et le ciment, et cela dans cet ordre et cette
hiérarchie. Il a prétendu que les habitants d'une ville classée dans ces conditions se trouveraient détenir
ce qu'il a appelé "les joies essentielles"'. Cet immeuble sert de témoin. Pour employer les bienfaits de la
situation exceptionnelle, les façades ont été constituées par deux pans de verre placés au-devant des
planchers de béton.
Chaque appartement possède donc une paroi entière de verre, allant du sol an plafond. Des moyens
d'obturer la lumière ont été établis. L'immeuble est habité et les locataires déclarent spontanément
qu'une vie nouvelle a commencé pour eux, grâce au dispositif du pan de verre et de certains services
communs.
Avec ses lignes graphiques et sa façade tout en verre, l’immeuble Molitor surprend encore par sa
modernité. Il a permis à l’architecte de tester in vivo ses théories sur une «Cité radieuse», concrétisée à
Marseille deux décennies plus tard.
[EN] Built with his cousin Pierre Jeanneret between 1931 and 1934, the Immeuble Molitor was the first
2. ever residence to have an entirely glass façade, a combination of horizontal sliding panels and
translucent glass blocks. While the building is primarily an experiment in the urbanism principles of 'La
Ville radieuese' (sky, trees, steel and cement), the apartment is designed in simple accordance with Le
Corbusier's way of life.

Long Description:
[FR] En 1926, Le Corbusier et son cousin Pierre Jeanneret expérimentèrent, ici, leur théorie des cinq
points pour une architecture moderne : le pilotis qui détache du sol l’édifice, le toit-terrasse, le plan
libre, la fenêtre en longueur et la façade libre.
Le tracé régulateur est ici un "tracé automatique" fourni par les simples éléments architecturaux à
échelle humaine tels que la hauteur des étages, les dimensions des fenêtres, des portes, des
balustrades.
Le plan classique est renversé, le dessous de la maison est libre. La réception est au sommet de la
maison. On sort directement sur le toit-jardin d'où l'on domine les vastes futaies du Bois de Boulogne:
on n'est plus à Paris, on est comme à la campagne.
[EN] Le Corbusier, then largely unknown, was designing a series of villas, including innovative homes for
Michael Stein (Gertrude's brother) and Lipchitz himself. In 1926, the Cooks commissioned the architect
to design what Le Corbusier said was the first "true cubic house," called Villa Cook or Maison Cook, on
the outskirts of Paris.
This house is the first piece by Le Corbusier which presents his five points of architecture;
Pilotis, in order to support the structure without the need of big walls.
4. Free Facade: Now that the pilotis were the ones supporting the building, the facade could have different
distributions, and more openings.
Free Plan: The distributions in plan of the different floors could be completely different between one
another, because the walls were simply partitions, and they were not supporting any weight. The only
necessarily constant element between the plans were the pilotis.
Ribbon Windows: Big openings in the facades, to let in natural light and ventilation.
Roof Garden: One of the most characteristic points of Le Corbusier, he believed that nature should be
always present in architecture. He had the idea of a vertical city, and the green area that was lost after
building the house was somehow compensated with this roof garden.

Location: New Jersey, United States
Date Posted: 8/14/2013 10:15:21 PM
Long Description:
Since we established our local historical commission in 1989, preservation, protection and the
recognition of existing structures of historical or intrinsic value has been pursued. Three of these houses
have gained notoriety. The properties are all less than 50 years but all have significant relevance to
architectural history, but are relatively unknown: The Sweeton House (Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian
Movement), the Well‘s Office Building and Residence (Malcom Wells) and the topic of this waymark, the
Fred Clever House (Louis Kahn). These architects hold an important place in architectural history and of
all the structures the Clever House became eligible for the National Register in 2007 and hopefully, it will
make it some day, thus, assuring us of its survival.
Upon my visit to this property, I noticed two things: first, no way in heck anyone can see this house from
the street and second, the grounds are unkempt and jungle-like; one might very scour the immediate
grounds for some rare leaf or berry to cure cancer, which is bound to grow in the rain forest
landscaping. What a shame the home owners don't give a crud. The rest of the neighborhood is
beautiful and well manicured. This property is a hot mess!
7. The Fred E. and Elaine Cox Clever House at 417 Sherry Way, Cherry Hill, New Jersey was commissioned
by these homeowners in 1967 for Kahn to design after they saw his influential Trenton Bath House
completed in 1962. This Cherry Hill home is only one of nine built houses designed by Kahn (who
designed many others which did not come to fruition), who is best known for designing institutional
buildings. To see all of the other houses that were built, please go HERE. Others worked to make the
house on Sherry Way a physical reality: The structural engineers for this house were possibly Cronheim
& Weger, partners in a Philadelphia architectural firm until 1966. Another PA firm out of Willow Grove,
PA, a rel="nofollow" href= "http://aiaphiladelphia.org/affiliate/vinokur-pace-engineering-services-inc"
target="_blank">Vinokur-Pace Engineers, was the mechanical/electrical engineers for this project. The
project began on July 12, 1957. The earliest dated drawing in Kahn's collection was February 18, 1959.
The last dated drawing for this house in his collection was for February 1, 1962. The house was finished
on May 8, 1962. I cannot resolve the differences in the creation and the request for this house. One
would think the request would come before the creation but it seems he dreamed it first then someone
asked him for it. Weird.
About the House
In the center of the house is a spacious living room, around which are grouped five smaller rooms, each
with its own pyramidal roof. The living room itself is capped by a complex roof composed of four large
angular structures that look something like four oversize gables that meet in the center. The two flat
surfaces that form the sides of each gable-like structure extend far downwards diagonally to meet the
corresponding surfaces from the two adjacent structures. The four meeting points of all of these
structures rest on four L-shaped concrete block formations positioned at the edges of the living room.
They are about the height of standard rooms and have the appearance of small rooms protruding into
the high-ceilinged living room. Their reverse sides provide closet-like spaces for other parts of the house.
The roof structure, which is about 18 feet (5.5 m) high at its highest point and whose underside is
finished with narrow wooden strips, forms the ceiling of the living room. Large triangular windows with
protruding hoods in each of the four gables provide natural light for the living room while minimizing
direct sunlight. The triangular windows are fixed in place, but beside them are wooden panels that can
be opened for ventilation. (Buttiker, Urs (1994). Louis I. Kahn: Light and Space. New York: Whitney
Library of Design. pp. 83–84.)
The house was designed during a period in which Kahn was interested in structures based on triangular
geometries, largely inspired by Anne Tyng, a co-worker and the mother of one of his children.

About the Man
Louis Isadore Kahn (born Itze-Leib Schmuilowsky) (February 20, 1901 – March 17, 1974) was an
American architect, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. After working in various
capacities for several firms in Philadelphia, he founded his own atelier in 1935. While continuing his
private practice, he served as a design critic and professor of architecture at Yale School of Architecture
from 1947 to 1957.
From 1957 until his death, he was a professor of architecture at the School of Design at the University of
Pennsylvania. Influenced by ancient ruins, Kahn created a style that was monumental and monolithic;
his heavy buildings do not hide their weight, their materials, or the way they are assembled. Louis
Kahn's works are considered as monumental beyond modernism. Famous for his meticulously built
8. works, his provocative unbuilt proposals, and his teaching, Kahn was one of the most influential
architects of the 20th century. He was awarded the AIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal.

" Architectural historian Thomas Hines has written of the Hofmann House: "...The Hoffman
house echoed a kinship with the south. The familiar, handsome, three-story stairway glazing, the
banded casement windows, the projecting terraces and balconies, the silver-gray trim, all
contributed to a strong Neutra statement. Yet, the Hofmann house suffered in the subtle but
crucial matters of scale and proportion, particularly in the main south elevation, where the large
blank mass of the central stairway element seemed insufficiently integrated with the rest of the
south facade." (See Thomas S. Hines, Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture,
[New York: Oxford University Press, 1982], p. 142-143.)" (visit link)

EN
The Bielefeld Kunsthalle is an art gallery with an emphasis on modern art, built by American
master architect Philip Johnson (1906 – 2005) from 1966 to 1968. It is the only museum building
Johnson ever designed in Europe. The basic shape is that of a cube and it is made of red
sandstone. According to Yoko Ono, who could be persuaded to do an exhibition here in 2008, it
is "the most beautiful museum I have ever seen. It was like meeting a spirit, not a museum"
(Yoko Ono). The Kunsthalle possesses a notable collection of temporary and 20th century art,
including works by Picasso, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, Max Beckmann, Man Ray and Oskar
Schlemmer, but is best known for themed temporary exhibitions, of which about four are held
every year.
Opening hours are Tu-Su 11-18 hrs, We 11–21 hrs and Sa 10-18 hrs (Mo closed), admission is
7.00 € for adults.
