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

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

7. CONCEPT
Influenced by ancient ruins, Kahn's style tends to the 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.

BIOLOGICAL STUDIES
8. GEOMETRY IN HIS WORKS
Kahn used many different shapes and LINES to create his masterpieces.
However, among his most famous creations, he seems to favor both
PARALLEL and PERPENDICULAR LINES.
Through his bold technique, he created streamline, radical, and
futuristic looking buildings.
His stile is his own, and his creations are legendary, through the use of
GEOMETRY, he has created both beautiful works of art, and useful
establishments, for the whole world to enjoy.

34. 3. KIMBELLART MUSEUM
• ARCHITECT : LOUIS I KAHN
• LOCATION : Fort worth, Texas,
USA
• DATE : 1967 to 1972
• BUILDING TYPE : art museum
• CONSTRUCTION SYSTEM :
reinforced concrete
• CLIMATE : temperate
• STYLE : modern
35. Located in fort worth, texas, USA.
Opened to the public for the first time in 1972.
A mecca of modern architecture.
Natural light enters through narrow Plexiglas skylights along the top
of cycloid barrel vault.
Wing-shaped pierced-aluminum reflectors hang below the vault.
Main (west) facade of the building consists of three 100-foot bays,
each fronted by an open, barrel-vaulted portico, with the Central,
entrance bay recessed and glazed.
Three courtyards punctuate the interior space.
Grand arches from roman architecture have been used.
40. SELECTION OF MATERIALS
Kahn selected materials that
complemented each other in tone and
surface.
These were travertine, concrete, white
oak, metal and glass.
These gave a sense of serenity,
simplicity and elegance.
LIGHTING -
Natural light has been used to
illuminate museum spaces so that
visitors may be able to relate to nature
and the effects of changing weather
while inside.
Cycloid vault with “narrow slits to the
sky” that allowed natural light to enter
and transform the space have been
given.
41. The light strikes a suspended convex,
perforated-aluminium “natural light
fixture”, in the words of Kahn that
prevents direct light from entering
the space. As the light reflects onto
the cool, curved concrete, it retains
what Kahn called the “silver” quality
of Texas light.

Building of Bangladesh in Dhaka is an
extraordinary example of modern
architecture being transcribed as a part
of Bangali vernacular architecture.
43. • The National Assembly building,
completed in 1982, stands as one of
Kahn’s most prominent works, but also
as a symbolic monument to the
government of Bangladesh.
• The intention of Kahn for the parliament
was to produce an ideal expression for
the new democracy by using perfectly
geometric shapes: circle, the half circle,
square and triangle.

ARTIFICAL LAKE : The
sheer mass of the
monumentally scaled
National Assembly and the
artificial lake surrounding the
building act as a natural
insulator and cooling system
that also begin to create
interesting spatial and lighting
conditions
49. GEOMETRIC SHAPES :
• The geometric shapes found on the different
faces of the façade add a dramatic impact to
the overall composition of the building.
• The geometric shapes are abstracted forms
serve as light wells and a natural
environmental control system for the interior.
• For Kahn, light was an important aspect in the
design of a building, not just as a way to
illuminate a space, but rather conceptualizing
light as a creator of space.
