Traditional Chinese houses called siheyuan along with hutong alleys make up much of the culture and housing in Beijing. Siheyuan houses form communities around courtyards, with gates typically facing southeast according to feng shui beliefs. Inside, rooms surround the central courtyard without original indoor plumbing. Today, high-rise apartments predominate in Chinese cities, including luxury buildings and low-income housing, while newer suburban developments consist of gated communities with security systems for upper middle-income residents living in western-style units with modern amenities.

Venice- urban development
introduction to the city, origin, geography, lagoon, significance, evolution, urban patterns, city planning, sity development plans, street maps, etc are included in this presentation.
Peter eisenman
Peter Eisenman is an American architect known for works like House II, House VI, the University of Phoenix Stadium, and the Memorial for the Murdered Jews in Berlin. House VI was situated on a flat site in Connecticut and divided into four sections based on a conceptual grid, with some structural elements included to enhance the design rather than for function. It became a study of architecture and theory, with unconventional spaces that prioritized art over function. The Memorial for the Murdered Jews features a field of concrete stelae that breaks notions of comfort to provoke anxiety through destabilization.
Town Planning- Venice
Venice is a city located in northeastern Italy built on 118 small islands in a lagoon along the Adriatic Sea. It developed from the 6th century as refugees fled invasions, and became a powerful maritime republic during the Middle Ages and Renaissance due to its strategic location for trade. The city is renowned for its architecture, art, and system of canals in place of roads.
Renaissance in italy (2)
The Renaissance began in Italy in the late Middle Ages as a period of cultural and intellectual revival. Three key factors drove the Italian Renaissance: 1) the rise of powerful city-states like Florence which fostered trade and intellectual exchange, 2) wealthy merchant families like the Medicis who became patrons of the arts, and 3) Italy's proximity to the classical ruins of Rome which exposed scholars to Greco-Roman culture and ideas. As humanist philosophy spread, Renaissance thinkers embraced classical learning and a more human-centered worldview, valuing individual achievement, material pleasures, and a balanced education for both men and women.
Hongkongbank
The document discusses Norman Foster's design for the new Hong Kong Bank headquarters building. It has 47 floors above ground and stands 590 feet tall. Key innovations included a column-free floor plan, a suspension structure supported by mast towers, and modular service units. The building is divided into five zones to break up its scale, each served by double-height floors containing shared functions. The building's most distinctive feature is its "sunscoop" - a periscope of mirrors that directs sunlight into the atrium.
Renzo Piano and some of his works (ENGLISH)
Renzo Piano was born in 1937 in Genoa, Italy into a family of construction companies. He taught at the Milan Polytechnic and Architectural Association School in London. In 1971, he won a contest to design the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, which broke with traditional architecture. Notable projects include the Pompidou Centre, Garrone House, and Centro Paul Klee museum. Piano's architecture is characterized by solid construction using excellent materials and taking advantage of topography in the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.
Task of architect
Architecture originally emerged to fulfill the basic human need for shelter. Over time, architecture took on additional purposes beyond the purely practical, including symbolizing social and cultural meanings. Architecture is now understood to serve four main functions: 1) as a container for human activities, 2) to modify the external climate, 3) as a cultural symbol, and 4) as a consumer of resources. Architecture has evolved from addressing mere physical needs to also expressing social status and identity, and creating lifestyle commodities desired beyond basic necessity.

Post modernism
Postmodern architecture emerged in the late 1970s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modernism. It is characterized by (1) a return to decorative ornamentation and references to historical architectural styles, (2) a emphasis on contextualism and addressing the materials and forms of surrounding buildings, and (3) a rejection of modernism's doctrine that "less is more." Influential postmodern architects like Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves designed buildings that incorporated historical references and ornamentation in new ways.
Denver Art Museum
The document discusses the design and construction of a new art museum building in Denver, Colorado. Some key points:
- The building's design by architect Daniel Libeskind emulates the jagged peaks of the surrounding Rocky Mountains with its sharp angles and complex geometry.
- It is constructed out of steel, concrete, and other materials like titanium and granite to withstand the lateral forces without right angles or vertical walls.
- The engineering was extremely challenging due to the unconventional sloped designs of the walls, floors, and other structures without standard angles. Precise fabrication and installation was required.
- Over 100 steel columns extend from the foundation into the bedrock to support the entire weight of the building in

Urban In-fill
This project for social housing brings new building materials and technology on a historically important site without disregarding the existing urban fabric, street facade, proportioning system prevalent in the core city of Milan.
Post modernism
Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1950s as an international style that rejected the minimalism and functionalism of modernism in favor of ornamentation, stylistic eclecticism, and references to historical elements. It became a movement in the late 1970s that continues to influence today's architecture. Postmodern buildings feature diverse aesthetics where styles collide and forms are adopted for their own visual interest over strict functionality. Key figures like Robert Venturi promoted this approach through works like the Vanna Venturi House, which challenged modernist orthodoxy through its manipulated scale and symbolic elements. Experimental groups like Archigram proposed futuristic visions through hypothetical mega-structures and mobile cities that embraced technology and consumerism.

Image of the city- Book review
This document provides a book review and summary of Kevin Lynch's book "The Image of the City". It discusses Lynch's design principles for analyzing and improving the visual form of cities, including legibility and imagability. Lynch proposed that the image of a city is composed of paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. Nodes are points in a city that act as destinations or junctions, such as street corners or public squares. Landmarks are external physical objects that help people navigate, such as buildings, signs, or natural features. Examples of nodes included subway stations and enclosed public squares. Landmarks were described as objects that are easily identifiable from a distance, such as signage or distinctive building structures.
Robert venturi
Robert Venturi fue un arquitecto y teórico estadounidense influyente del siglo XX. Se opuso a la austeridad del Movimiento Moderno y defendió una arquitectura "compleja y que aceptara sus contradicciones". En su libro de 1966 "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture" criticó la "arquitectura de cajas de cerillas" moderna y analizó obras maestras arquitectónicas que mostraban que la doctrina de Mies van der Rohe era falsa. Más tarde, en su libro de 1972 "Apre
Urban design
The document summarizes the history of urban design from early settlements to modern times. It discusses how early cities like Jericho and Catal Huyuk formed near rivers and trade routes for agriculture. Catal Huyuk had houses made of mudbrick touching each other with roof entrances. Irrigation systems led to centralized planning and social stratification in early cities. Renaissance cities emphasized aesthetics with regular geometry, civic spaces, and separation of church and state. The industrial era brought reforms to hygiene, safety, and labor laws as cities grew rapidly. Modern urban design incorporated massive technological and social changes while new urbanism emphasizes traditional planning with modern efficiencies.
1.1.2.a principles and elements of design applied to architecture
Six key visual design elements are line, color, form and shape, space, texture, and value. Lines can be vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or curved and influence how elements are perceived. Color and texture also impact human perception and behavior. Effective design balances elements using principles such as emphasis, proportion, rhythm, movement, contrast, and unity. Mastery of these elements and principles allows architects to create buildings and structures that are visually pleasing and meet functional requirements.
Late modernism
Late Modernism encompasses the overall production of most recent architecture made between the aftermath of World War II and the early years of the 21st century. The terminology often points to similarities between late modernism and post-modernism although there are differences.
Late Modernism, also known as High-tech architecture or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the late 80s, this style became a bridge between modernism and postmodernism.
Architecture in which the images, ideas, and motifs of the Modern Movement were taken to extremes, structure, technology, and services being grossly over stated at a time when Modernism was being questioned.
In the year 1980s the high tech architecture started to look different from the post modern architecture. Many of the themes and ideas which originated during the post modern times were added to the high tech architecture.
Modern architecture is primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, and it is true that the availability o f new building materials such as iron, steel, and glass drove the invention of new building techniques as part of the Industrial Revolution.
Asian Architecture: Ningbo Historic Museum
The document discusses the use of the traditional Chinese Wapan tiling technique in the construction of the Ningbo Historic Museum in Ningbo, China. The museum facade was built using over 20 types of recycled bricks, stones, and tiles collected from demolished villages. This revived a traditional method that was disappearing due to modernization. The Wapan technique allowed for quick rebuilding after natural disasters and reflected the local culture and memories embedded in the materials.
L3 Vertical Structure Pt1 1
The document discusses different types of vertical structural systems used in tall buildings to resist gravity and lateral loads. It describes systems such as shear walls, braced frames, rigid frames, core and frame structures, and their ability to resist overturning moments, lateral forces from wind and earthquakes, and sway. Examples of real buildings using different systems are provided.
Peter eisenman
Peter Eisenman is an American architect known for deconstructivist designs. This document provides biographical details and discusses two of Eisenman's works - House VI from 1972-1975 and the Wexner Center for the Arts from 1989. House VI was conceptualized through a process of manipulating a grid, resulting in unconventional spaces. The Wexner Center design was also based on manipulating grids to link past and present through unconventional means, seen in its curved facade, reconstructed armoury fragments, and use of dark glass.
Image of the city, kevin lynch & case study.
The document summarizes Kevin Lynch's book "The Image of the City" which explores how people mentally perceive and navigate urban environments. It discusses Lynch's concepts of imageability, legibility, and the five elements that comprise a city's mental image for people - paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. It provides examples of Lynch's analysis of the mental images of Boston, Jersey City, and Los Angeles.
Space and shell structures
Shells are curved structures that can transmit loads in multiple directions and are constructed using thin materials like concrete or reinforced concrete. They distribute loads across their surfaces through compressive, tensile and shear stresses. Large spherical domes are often constructed using inflated membranes as forms which provide support during construction. Domes over 300 feet require a grid structure to provide sufficient stiffness while minimizing weight. Shells and folded plates are constructed as uniform thin surfaces rather than stacked discrete pieces like frames. Domes, vaults, and barrel shells are examples of shell structures used in building construction.
The money of china
The currency of China is the renminbi or yuan (RMB), represented by the symbol 元. The renminbi has a long history dating back to coins used in the Han Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. Today, the 100 yuan banknote features portraits of four important figures from early Chinese history. To prevent fraud, Chinese banknotes use unique Chinese characters for numeric values rather than standard characters. In 2012, the exchange rate between the Chinese renminbi and U.S. dollar was approximately 1 USD to 6.35 CNY. Chinese traditions include giving "lucky money" in red envelopes during New Years celebrations and coins known as "ya sheng coins" for prosperity.
Fastfood in china
American fast food restaurants first entered mainland China in 1987 but earlier attempts had been unsuccessful. Now in 2008, there are over 4,000 fast food locations generating an estimated $30 billion market. Key to success was organization, adapting marketing and menus to local tastes, and government recognition of the industry. Major chains like KFC, McDonald's, Subway, Domino's, and Starbucks have all seen growth, with KFC having the largest market share with over 2,000 locations across China.
