Modern Architecture
The document provides an overview of the modern architecture pattern known as the worker pattern. It discusses risks and uncertainties involved in developing and delivering new functionality for services. It emphasizes designing applications as small, independent services that rely on well-defined dependencies, environment variables, and shared services. The goals are to make creating new applications trivial, provide consistency across production environments, and focus on the application rather than the platform.
elements and principles of design
The document defines and describes the basic elements and principles of design, including:
Point, line, shape, form, space, color, texture, emphasis, movement, pattern, repetition, proportion, rhythm, variety, unity, axis, symmetry, hierarchy, datum, transformation, and balance. It explains what each of these elements and principles are and provides examples.
modern architecture
Le Corbusier was a pioneering Swiss-French architect who is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Some of his most notable works include the Villa Savoye, which demonstrated his "Five Points of Architecture", and the city of Chandigarh, India, where he designed many government buildings including the Secretariat, High Court, and Assembly Hall. His buildings were characterized by features like pilotis, free facades, open floor plans, ribbon windows, and roof gardens.

The document discusses regional modern architecture in Malaysia, focusing on four architects - Hijjas Kasturi, Hisyam Al-Bakri, Jimmy Lim, and Ken Yeang. It provides details on several notable works by each architect, including Tabung Haji by Hijjas Kasturi, the National Mosque by Hisyam Al-Bakri, environmentally sustainable designs by Jimmy Lim, and exploration of bioclimatic design principles by Ken Yeang. The document is presented as part of a lecture on regional modern architecture at Politeknik Sultan Idrish Shah.
History and theory part2
The document provides an overview of the history and principles of architecture education, with a focus on the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Some key points:
1) The Ecole des Beaux-Arts (1666) was influential in establishing architecture as an autonomous discipline and spreading its pedagogical system globally.
2) It merged several existing art academies and emphasized principles like hierarchy of space, symmetry, and learning from architectural precedents.
3) The early 20th century saw the development of new architectural styles and ideas and a shift away from classicism, with movements like the Amsterdam School, De Stijl, Bauhaus, and works by figures like Le
c2329- Lecture3
This document provides an overview of three major movements in early modern architecture: De Stijl, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus. It describes the origins and key principles of each movement. De Stijl emerged in the Netherlands in 1915 and was influenced by Mondrian's paintings using primary colors and horizontal and vertical lines. Constructivism developed in Russia in the 1920s and emphasized abstraction, experimentation with geometry and industrial materials. The Bauhaus school operated in Germany from 1919-1933 under directors including Gropius and Mies van der Rohe, combining crafts and technology to create standardized designs emphasizing function over ornament.
C 2329 - Lecture4
This document provides information on various movements in postmodern architecture, including High Tech, Postmodernism, and Deconstructivism. It discusses key architects and their works for each movement. High Tech emerged in the 1970s and emphasized incorporating industrial elements and technology into building design. Postmodernism rejected modernism's minimalism and reintroduced ornamentation and decorative elements. Deconstructivism attempted to "explode" or dismantle architecture through non-linear and unconventional designs. The document provides examples like Renzo Piano's Pompidou Centre, Robert Venturi's Gordon Wu Hall, and Coop Himmelb(l)au's experimental works.
Alvar Aalto
Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto was a Finnish architect and designer known as the "Father of Modernism" in Scandinavia. Some key aspects of his work and philosophy included:
- He helped develop Nordic modernism and was influenced by Finnish forests and lakes, employing bioclimatic solutions.
- He believed in "humanistic modernism" and that aesthetics and functionality should be accessible to all.
- His designs often combined old and new materials and drew from various architectural influences while refusing to strictly follow the tenets of the International Style of Modernism.
- He is considered one of the earliest modernists who didn't completely fit the mainstream narrative, and practiced an "

This document provides an overview of different styles within modern architecture, including modern classicism, expressionism, cubism, and futurism. It summarizes key works representing each style, such as the A.E.G. High Tension Factory by Peter Behrens as an example of modern classicism, the Notre Dame du Raincy church by Auguste Perret also exemplifying modern classicism, and the Einstein Tower by Erich Mendelsohn showing expressionism. Antonio Sant'Elia's unbuilt designs are described as representative of futurism, while the only truly cubist buildings included the works of Josef Gocar in Czechoslovakia. Each movement is briefly characterized and important figures are introduced with short bi

Industrialized Building System (IBS) is a construction technique where building components are manufactured in a controlled environment and then transported and assembled on site. There are five main types of IBS in Malaysia: pre-cast concrete framing, formwork systems, steel framing, prefabricated timber framing, and block work systems. New prefabricated materials like gypsum, wood wool, polymer and fiberglass have also been introduced as IBS components.
Spatial
The document discusses different types of spatial relationships and organizations:
1. Spaces can be contained within larger spaces, linked by a common space with overlapping fields, or share a common border.
2. Organizations include linear sequences, centralized structures, grids, and clustered groupings.
3. Sense of space is associated with emotions - horror spaces differ from sacred, fun, or grand welcoming spaces in terms of lighting, colors, textures, and feelings they evoke.
(History of Architecture 2) Nov 2012 modern architecture
Modern Architecture in the 20th Century outlines key developments and movements. New materials like steel and reinforced concrete enabled new building forms. Schools like the Chicago School, Werkbund, and Bauhaus explored these materials and functional design. The International Style codified modern architecture's emphasis on simplicity, rejection of ornament, and use of materials honestly. Key figures like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius pioneered modern architecture.
Post modern architecture
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.

- Allows the contractor to achieve practical completion for different sections at different times.
- Each section is treated as a separate contract with its own DLP, retention sums, etc.
Partial Possession:
- Refers to the employer taking possession of part of the completed works before overall practical completion.
- Can be done with or without the contractor's consent under certain conditions.
- The occupied part is deemed practically complete but the overall works contract remains.
- Effects like reduced
