The document provides an introduction to the basic elements and concepts of architecture. It discusses key spatial elements like points, lines, planes and volumes that define architectural space. It describes different types of planes such as vertical wall planes, horizontal base planes that can be elevated or depressed, and overhead planes like ceilings and roofs. It explains how these different planes are used to define, articulate and organize interior and exterior spaces. Linear elements like columns, walls and structural frames are also summarized as defining edges and corners of spaces while providing structure.
Trusses are commonly used in buildings to span long distances and carry heavy loads. Steel trusses are preferred over wood trusses for their strength, simplicity of installation, and durability without risk of rotting. Various types of trusses include king post, queen post, Howe, Pratt, and fan trusses used in roofs, as well as north light trusses traditionally used for industrial buildings to maximize natural lighting. Larger spans may use tubular steel, quadrangular, or gusset plate connected trusses, while galvanized steel sheets are often used for roofing material.
Modern architecture emerged in the early 20th century in response to industrialization and new technologies. Architects rejected historical styles and ornamentation in favor of simple, clean designs using new materials like steel, glass, and concrete. Some key developments included the Arts and Crafts movement emphasizing craftsmanship, Art Nouveau's organic forms, and early modernist buildings using steel frames and large windows. Pioneers like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe further developed the International Style characterized by geometric forms, lack of ornament, and expressing the structure.

EH202-HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE III
The document discusses structural rationalism in architecture from the 17th century to the 20th century. It began as an ideology focused on using reason and accurate measurements to design structures. In the 18th century, rationalism emphasized symmetrical geometric forms and neoclassical designs. Important rationalist architects like Viollet-le-Duc rejected ornamentation in favor of highlighting the functional structure. Examples given include the Lycee Voltaire school building and Palazzo Gualino office building, both employing modular designs, industrial materials, and functional floor plans.
High Rise the most common word in Modern Architecture. Here we made a Report on Vertical Circulation and Services of a High rise. Hope this will help you to Design a High rise.
The document discusses various elements of space making including floor, column, wall, door, window, stair, roof. It focuses on defining each element, their evolution and anatomy, attributes, spatial roles, applications, and design considerations. Specifically, it provides detailed information about the floor, including its definition as a horizontal plane providing stability, its various typologies, evolution from early human settlements, and spatial roles such as defining space, serving as a datum, and guiding movement. It also discusses design considerations for the floor.

Reinforced concrete stairs are suitable for construction due to their ability to be molded into any desired form to suit requirements. They have better fire resistance than timber stairs and can be precast or cast-in-place. RCC stairs provide fire protection, durability, strength, and pleasing appearance while allowing for wider widths and longer spans. They are also easy to clean and have low maintenance costs.

Parking facilities include indoor and outdoor areas for vehicles belonging to buildings, roads, parking lots, multi-level structures, and facilities for specific vehicle types. Different outdoor parking patterns include parallel parking along roads, 90 degree parking, and oblique parking. Indoor parking includes multi-storey parking structures. Multi-storey parking facilities are designed specifically for automobile parking and have multiple floors for parking. They are typically limited to 5-6 stories with a capacity of around 500 vehicles. Parking standards and laws dictate the minimum requirements for parking spaces, ramps, and accessibility.
History Of Architecture I - Lesson 1: Introİrfan Meriç
The document discusses the history of architecture through examining various buildings and structures from different time periods and cultures. It explores architecture through analyzing materials and techniques, physical contexts, cultural meanings, and representations of buildings over time. The document advocates considering all buildings as important and examining architecture through material, physical, and cultural lenses. It provides numerous examples of structures like the Parthenon, Hagia Sophia, and Pyramids of Giza to illustrate how architecture can be studied through different historical and cultural contexts.
This document provides an overview of site planning and site analysis. It defines site planning as allocating functions on a piece of land to efficiently utilize resources. The purpose of site planning is to fit design programs and sites harmoniously while considering natural, socio-economic, and technological factors. Site analysis involves researching and inventorying various elements of a site, such as location, neighborhood context, subsurface features, natural and manmade surface features, circulation, utilities, sensory factors, climate, and aesthetics. This information is then analyzed to achieve a successful site design that incorporates relevant site characteristics.
The document discusses Frank Lloyd Wright's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. It provides background on Wright and his organic modern design philosophy. Wright spent 15 years designing the museum as a continuous spiral ramp gallery to house Solomon Guggenheim's non-objective painting collection. The unique building was controversial but is now considered one of Wright's most famous works and an architectural landmark housing many temporary exhibits.
In Architecture, the idea of post modernism began as a response to the perceived flatness and failed utopianism of the modern movement. Definitive postmodern architecture rejects the notion of a pure form or perfect architectonic detail, instead evidently drawing from all methods, materials, forms and colors available to architects. Robert Robert Venturi and Charles Moore led the philosophical foundation of Post-Modernism.
Disillusioned with the modernist dogma that the present is always the best, architects and the public they serve rediscovered the value and beauty of the past. They started restoring old buildings, whereas modern architecture is abstract, postmodern architecture is referential.
As for high rise buildings, these are generally above six floors or stories in height. Also, most high rise buildings are 100 meters in height. (These should not be confused with “skyscrapers,” which are generally much taller, as little or as much, as 200 meters in height.
A high-rise building is a tall building, as opposed to a low-rise building and is defined differently in terms of height depending on the jurisdiction. It is used as a residential, office building, or other functions including hotel, retail, or with multiple purposes combined.
The document discusses architectural concepts and how they are developed and expressed. It defines a concept as an idea or thought that provides identity and direction for a project. Concepts can come from a site, program, culture or influences. They should provide an exterior expression and interior experience. Concepts are expressed through diagrams, models, analogy, and metaphor to convey relationships and ideas. Developing a strong concept gives depth and meaning to a design.
Style and ornamentation in ArchitectureAnupama holla
Architectural ornamentation refers to decorative details added to buildings to make them more attractive. Ornamentation can be carved, formed, or painted and often includes motifs from nature or geometry. Styles of ornamentation are influenced by the specific culture and can be classified based on placement (surface, edge, or junction ornamentation) or type (mimetic, applied, or structural). Architectural character depends on expressing a building's function and status through aesthetic elements. Character can be functional, associated with a particular style, or personal to an individual architect. Architectural style is characterized by distinctive features that make a structure identifiable within a historical context. Styles emerge and change over time, influenced by factors like geography, climate, religion
The document discusses rules of thumb for determining the number of elevators needed in high-rise office buildings. It states that one elevator is required for every 45,000 square feet of usable space, and the ratio of floors to elevators should be between 2:1 and 2.5:1 depending on building occupancy. No single elevator group should serve more than 16 floors or include more than 8 elevators. Service elevators are required for buildings over 9 floors. Special areas like cafeterias may also increase elevator needs. Examples of institutional buildings in Thailand are provided.
Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modern architecture. It sought to reintroduce ornamentation, color, and references to historical styles. Key characteristics included drawing from multiple sources rather than pure forms, moving away from neutral colors, and taking elements from different styles and combining them in new ways. Notable postmodern architects included Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves.
impact of industrial revolution on architectureGayathri Kumari
The Industrial Revolution began around 1760 in England and brought radical changes in technology, economics, and society. New construction materials like cast iron, steel, and glass became widely available, enabling new architectural styles. Neoclassical architecture was popular, emphasizing symmetry and borrowing from Greek and Roman designs. As industry grew, new factory towns and dense urban areas developed without proper sanitation. New forms of transportation and infrastructure shaped cities, and tall skyscrapers emerged as the steel frame was invented. The Industrial Revolution transformed architecture and urban planning on a global scale through new building materials and forms that accommodated industrialization.
The document discusses the construction of vaults. It begins by defining a vault and describing the basic components. It then provides details on 8 common types of vaults: barrel, groin, rib, cloister, fan, net, annular, and rampant. The history section outlines the development of vaulting techniques from ancient times through Roman, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and modern architecture. Specific styles are discussed for English, German, and Italian Gothic vaulting. The document concludes with a case study on timbrel vaulting, highlighting Rafael Guastavino's improvements to the technique.
The Taipei Performing Arts Center in Taiwan elevates a substantial part of its program to create an open public square underneath. By lifting the main plateau, panoramic views of the city are created. The building contains more void space in the form of this three-dimensional urban square than mass. The square fundamentally becomes part of the building and is activated by various balconies and terraces with different programs. The four "legs" of the building that support the horizontal slab are each programmed differently and contain performance spaces at varying altitudes, connected by a system of loops, stairs, and elevators.
Neoclassical architecture developed in the late 17th century as a reaction against Baroque and Rococo styles. It drew inspiration from classical Greek and Roman designs, emphasizing clean lines, symmetry, columns, and massive structures. Neoclassicism gained popularity across Europe in the 18th century and was used for government buildings, churches, and homes. It spread from Italy to France, Britain, Russia, and the United States, where it came to symbolize the new American republic in the 19th century.
The document discusses the seven wonders of the modern world as defined by the New7Wonders Foundation. It lists the seven wonders as the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu in Peru, the Colosseum in Rome, Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil, Petra in Jordan, and Chichen Itza in Mexico. It provides a brief history of each site and highlights their impressive architectural and historical significance.

Art And Architecture In The Middle Ages And Renaissance EssayJessica Rinehart
During the Middle Ages, art and architecture were heavily influenced by religion and focused on biblical themes and depictions of religious figures. In the Renaissance, the influence of classical antiquity led to a shift where art and architecture were inspired by ancient Greek and Roman styles rather than religion. Examples given include Botticelli's Birth of Venus depicting a mythological figure prominently rather than religious scenes common in the Middle Ages. Architecture also moved from religious Gothic styles to ones inspired by classical orders like Corinthian columns.
