Louis Henry Sullivan (1856-1924) was an influential American architect known as the "father of skyscrapers" and a pioneer of modern architecture. He believed that architecture should express its purpose and that form should follow function. Some of his notable designs include the Auditorium Building in Chicago, featuring one of the first central air conditioning systems, and a series of banks employing geometric and organic ornamentation reflecting nature. Sullivan's philosophy of form following function became a basic principle of 20th century architecture.
Louis Henry Sullivan was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1856. He studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for one year. He worked as a draftsman for Furness and Hewitt in Philadelphia and for William Le Baron Jenney in Chicago. In July 1874, Sullivan traveled to Europe where he studied in the Vaudremer studio at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris.

Philip johnson- history of architectureSelf employed
ACCORDING TO PHILIP JOHNSON ‘CRUTCHES’ BY WHICH ARCHITECTS EVADE THEIR REAL RESPONSIBILITIES ARE:
HISTORY - JUSTIFYING ELEMENTS WHICH ARE EARLIER USED.
UTILITY - IF UTILITY OF A BUILDING OVERCOMES ARTISTIC INVENTIONS ,THEN IT IS MERELY AN ASSEMBLAGE OF USEFUL PARTS.
DESIGN ACCORDING TO HIS BELIEF – “ TO GO AGAINST THE GRAIN”
DECONSTRUCTIVIST ARCHITECTURE – “ HE PRESENTED DESIGN ISSUE IN STRICTLY STYLISTIC TERMS.”
The famous American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright changed the way we build and the way we live. As an architect, Frank Lloyd Wright was known for many things, but perhaps his most famed characteristic was his exceptional attention to detail – in many of his projects, each furniture piece was designed specifically for its intended location.

The first large-scale elaboration of the City Beautiful occurred in Chicago at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. The planning of the exposition was directed by architect Daniel Burnham, who hired architects from the eastern United States, as well as the sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens, to build large-scale Beaux-Arts monuments that were vaguely classical with uniform cornice height. The exposition displayed a model city of grand scale, known as the "White City", with modern transport systems and no poverty visible. The exposition is credited with resulting in the large-scale adoption of monumentalism for American architecture for the next 15 years. Richmond, Virginia's Monument Avenue is one expression of this initial phase.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. CONTRIBUTION TO MODERN ARCHITECTURE
• HE CONTEND ARCHITECTURE WAS FUNDAMENTALLY AN EXPRESSION OF SOCIAL LIFE AND SET
NEW COMMUNITY AESTHETICS IN HIS SET OF EIGHT BANKS.
• HE ULTIMATELY DESIGNED THE MOST DISTINCTIVE TREATMENT FOR TALL BUILDINGS.
• SULLIVAN WAS CONCERNED WITH AESTHETICS OF STRUCTURES AND DEVELOPED A UNIQUE
STYLE OF ORNAMENTATION.
• HIS PROFESSION WAS HIS APPROACH TO DESIGN IN THEIR RECOGNITION OF THE IDEA THAT
FORM MUST FOLLOW FUNCTION.
4. "It is the pervading law of all things organic, and inorganic,
of all things physical and metaphysical,
of all things human and all things super-human,
of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life
is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is
the law."
His Famous Quote:
5. Ornament and structure were integral; their
subtle rhythm sustained a high emotional
tension, yet produced a sense of serenity.
But the building's identity resided in the
ornament.
Sullivan's philosophy that "form follows
function" became one of the basic principles
of twentieth century architecture, and was
one of the foundations of Prairie School
style
design
9. design
Sullivan developed a style of ornamentation
reflected nature through symmetrical use of stylized foliage & weaving
geometric forms
10. design
Another signature element of Sullivan's work is the massive, semi-
circular arch.
Sullivan employed such arches throughout his career—in shaping entrances,
in framing windows, or as interior design.
