The document provides information on several influential modern architects and their works:
- The International Style emerged in the 1920s-1930s with characteristics of rectilinear forms, light planes stripped of ornamentation, and use of glass, steel and concrete.
- Frank Lloyd Wright designed over 1000 structures in his philosophy of organic architecture that blended with nature, like Fallingwater. Mies van der Rohe pioneered modern architecture using steel and glass like his Farnsworth House.
- Le Corbusier developed the five points of architecture used in works like the Villa Savoye. Gropius founded the Bauhaus School and designed the Fagus Factory using modern materials.
Modern architecture developed in reaction to 19th century styles by emphasizing form following function. New building types arose with industrialization like skyscrapers and warehouses using steel and concrete. Pioneers in the late 19th/early 20th century included Joseph Paxton, Louis Sullivan, and Otto Wagner. The Bauhaus school under Walter Gropius and figures like Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe popularized the International Style using steel frames, flat roofs, and open floor plans. Notable modern buildings include the Guggenheim Museum, Seagram Building, and Sydney Opera House.
Modern architecture emerged after World War I and is characterized by new forms and dynamic shapes. It focuses on both building design and floor plans. Modern architecture aims to improve safety during natural disasters and for occupants. Some key regions that advanced modern architecture include New York, Dubai, and Shanghai. Modern designs incorporate many new materials both interior and exterior like glass, concrete, steel, wood, and plastics. While using new technologies, modern architecture has also adapted traditional materials in novel ways. Overall, modern architecture demonstrates the progress and capabilities of nations through innovative designs.
Modern architecture emerged after World War 1 as a new style that rejected historical precedent and ornament in favor of functionalist planning and rational use of modern materials. Key principles included form following function, simplicity, clarity of forms, expression of structure, and use of industrial materials. Common modern materials included steel, concrete, glass, wood, and plastics. The style featured light cage-like structures of steel and reinforced concrete that were faster and easier to build.
The Arts and Crafts movement emerged in reaction to the Industrial Revolution and Victorian culture. Artists and designers sought to return to handcrafted, high-quality designs and reject mass production. The Prairie School was influenced by these ideals and focused on horizontal lines, hipped roofs, craftsmanship, and integrating buildings into the landscape. Frank Lloyd Wright was a leading proponent, designing homes like the Winslow House and Bradley House that featured these characteristics. Both movements promoted natural materials and simplicity over ornamentation.
Modern architecture emerged in the early 19th century due to the Industrial Revolution. It is characterized by simple geometric forms, minimalism, and an emphasis on form following function [1]. Some key highlights of early modern architecture include the Crystal Palace built in 1851 and the Eiffel Tower built in 1889, which featured new building materials like iron and glass [2]. Important works of late modern architecture include Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple from 1905 and the Chrysler Building from 1930, which helped popularize the use of steel and concrete in skyscrapers [3].
This document provides an overview of post-modern architecture. It discusses how post-modernism emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of modernism's puritanical rules. Key figures like Robert Venturi argued for complexity and contradiction over simplicity. The document profiles several prominent post-modern architects like Venturi, Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, Michael Graves, and Frank Gehry. It examines some of their notable works and how they incorporated historical references, ornamentation, and contextual designs.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for his pioneering works and promoting organic architecture in harmony with nature. He designed over 1,000 structures in his career, including the iconic Guggenheim Museum in New York City. The museum features a continuous spiral ramp gallery extending up from the ground along the outer edge, allowing visitors to view the collection from the top down. Wright drew inspiration from nature in the museum's geometric forms and use of light. The Guggenheim helped cement Wright's legacy as one of the greatest architects of the 20th century.

The document discusses the International Style of Architecture, which developed in the 1920s-1930s and emphasized modern materials like steel, glass, and concrete. It expresses structure directly and eliminates ornamentation. Key characteristics included rectilinear forms, exposed structures, rejection of color and ornament, and open interior spaces. Design principles involved symmetry, asymmetry, repetition, and rhythm. Prominent architects who helped define the style included Walter Gropius, J.J.P. Oud, and Le Corbusier. By the 1970s, the style had become so dominant that it stifled innovation.
1. Cubism in architecture led to simplified building designs, use of industrially produced materials, and increased use of glass. However, cubism had no direct link to modern architecture and connections were made through shared formal qualities.
2. Early skyscrapers in Chicago used strong horizontal lines to downplay their verticality. Louis Sullivan used a bold style to express American confidence and prosperity in the late 19th century.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie houses used mass-produced materials and bold, plain walls to achieve economic and spacious designs that promoted modern family living.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect known for pioneering organic architecture. He designed over 1,000 structures in a career spanning 70 years. Some of his most famous works that exemplified his principles of organic architecture through unity of form and function include Fallingwater, the Robie House, and Unity Temple. Wright introduced horizontal lines and planes and used natural materials like wood, stone, and brick to integrate structures with their surroundings.
Postmodernism emerged in the late 20th century as a departure from modernism in various arts like architecture and literature. It involves skeptical interpretations of culture and history. Postmodern architecture began in the 1950s but truly became a movement in the late 1970s, rejecting the simplicity and uniformity of modernist architecture in favor of incorporating historical elements, color, and symbolism. Some key characteristics of postmodern architecture include the use of non-orthogonal angles, unusual surfaces, references to historical styles, and ambiguity of meaning.
The document summarizes major architectural styles from the 20th century, including Modernism, Art Nouveau, De Stijl, Art Deco, the Bauhaus, Mid-Century Modern, and Post-Modernism. It provides examples of key works such as the Guggenheim Museum by Frank Lloyd Wright, the Barcelona Chair by Mies van der Rohe, and the Pompidou Center in Paris by Rogers and Piano. The styles reflected new technologies and materials as well as rejections or returns to historical references over the decades covered.

history of contemporary architecture - Modern Architecture.pptDania Abdel-aziz
Modern architecture originated in the late 19th century in Europe and the United States and spread worldwide. It is characterized by an emphasis on simplicity, clarity of form, exposed structure, and the use of industrial materials like iron, steel, and concrete. Important early modern architects included Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Mies van der Rohe. Their pioneering designs embraced new technologies and rejected ornamentation in favor of forms following functions. I.M. Pei is a renowned modernist known for his large-scale, geometric glass and steel buildings that result from original design concepts rather than adherence to theory or style.
Modernist architecture emerged in the late 19th to early 20th century as a philosophical movement to reconcile architectural design with technological advancement. It emphasized form following function through simplicity and clarity. Postmodernist architecture arose in the late 20th century as a reaction against modernism, replacing its functional forms with diverse aesthetics through pluralism, irony, and contextual references. Notable modernist architects included Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, while postmodernists included Michael Graves and Philip Johnson.

The document provides information on Bauhaus architecture and high-tech architecture. It discusses that Bauhaus was a school in Germany from 1919-1933 that combined crafts and fine arts. It had a focus on simple geometric forms, asymmetrical designs, and use of modern materials like steel and glass. Key architects included Walter Gropius, Hannes Meyer, and Mies van der Rohe. Notable Bauhaus buildings included the Seagram Building, Tugendhat Villa, and buildings in Tel Aviv. High-tech architecture emerged in the 1970s and used new technologies and materials like aluminum and steel. It emphasized transparency and exposed structures and services. Key architects were Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Ren
Modernism in architecture emerged in the late 19th century from advances in construction technologies like glass, steel, and reinforced concrete. It emphasized form following function through minimalist and asymmetrical designs without ornamentation. Key features included use of manufactured materials and an emphasis on functionality over historical styles. Proponents argued it inspired creativity and well served practical needs through stronger, lighter materials. Critics countered that it could disrupt cultural heritage through abstract geometries and had drawbacks like high energy use, limited aesthetics, and environmental impacts from certain materials.
Deconstructivism is a postmodern architectural style characterized by fragmentation and manipulation of a structure's surface. It moves away from modernism's purity of form and adherence to materials. Frank Gehry is a prominent deconstructivist architect known for buildings with irregular volumes and curvilinear roofs clad in metal panels. His Aerospace Museum in Bilbao, Spain features two 80-foot forms separated by a viewing tower with a complex roof system and exposed materials on the interior. The entrance has pairs of glazed doors and an elevator tower topped with a metal-clad sphere, and the irregular forms and abstraction of aircraft as exterior components exemplify Gehry's deconstructive style.
It is a development in POST-MODERNISM that started in late 1980s.
It views architecture in bits and pieces.
It has no visual logic.
Buildings may appear to be made of abstract forms.
The idea was to develop buildings which show how differently from traditional architectural conventions buildings can be built without loosing their utility and still complying with the fundamental laws of physics.
The ideas were borrowed from the French philosopher, Jacques Derrida.

The term ‘Critical Regionalism’ was first coined by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre and later more famously and pretentiously by Kenneth Frampton in “Towards a Critical Regionalism : Six points of an architecture of resistance”
According to Frampton, critical regionalism should adopt modern architecture critically for its universal progressive qualities but at the same time should value responses particular to the context. Emphasis should be on topography, climate, light, tectonic form rather than scenography and the tactile sense rather than the visual.
According to Tzonis and Lefaivre, critical regionalism need not directly draw from the context, rather elements can be stripped of their context and used in strange rather than familiar ways.
Critical regionalism is different from Regionalism which tries to achieve a one-to-one correspondence with vernacular architecture in a conscious way without consciously partaking in the universal.
It is considered a particular form of post-modern response in developing countries, not to be confused with postmodernism as architectural style.
Deconstructivism and Critical RegionalismAbhiniti Garg
This document summarizes deconstructivism and Zaha Hadid's MAXXI Museum in Rome. It begins with an overview of deconstructivism, noting that it views architecture as fragmented and rejects traditional forms. It then discusses Zaha Hadid's deconstructivist style and concepts like gravity-defying forms. The majority of the document describes Hadid's MAXXI Museum, highlighting its sinuous, fragmented shapes and how it blurs indoor and outdoor spaces. It discusses key features like the transparent roof, concrete walls, and how the fluid forms create unexpected views and complex spatial experiences.
The document discusses the transformation from Modern to Postmodern architecture. Modernism emphasized form following function and simplicity, while Postmodernism featured diverse aesthetics and contextualism. Some key characteristics of Postmodernism included sculptural forms, ornamentation, and meaning through pluralism and irony. Influential Postmodern architects included Aldo Rossi, Frank Gehry, and Cesar Pelli, whose Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur featured Islamic-inspired designs and innovative engineering.
High tech architecture emerged in the 1970s and incorporates elements of high technology into building designs. It emphasizes transparency and reveals the underlying structure and functions. Pioneers of high tech architecture include Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Renzo Piano. They designed iconic buildings using advanced materials and expressed the industrial aesthetic with exposed services and structural elements.

This document provides an overview of industrial architecture and its history. It discusses:
- The emergence of industrial architecture during the First Industrial Revolution in England in the late 18th century, where early factories processed materials like cotton and silk.
- How the Second Industrial Revolution of the late 19th century transformed industrial facilities through new materials like steel and concrete, making structures more efficient and safer.
- By the mid-20th century, many industrial facilities in Europe and the US fell into disrepair as economies shifted away from manufacturing. Starting in the 1960s, some buildings were converted into apartments and offices through adaptive reuse.
- Modern industrial architecture now prioritizes sustainability and aesthetics in addition to functionality.
Contemporary architecture is the architecture of the 21st century. It aims to break away from standard processes and thinking and is innovative. No single style is dominant, as contemporary architects work in postmodern, high-tech, and expressive styles. It features curved lines, composite volumes, new materials like glass and plants, large windows, and environmental considerations. Famous examples include Walt Disney Concert Hall with billowing stainless steel, Galaxy Soho with connected spherical structures, and Congregation Beth Sholom with an imposing pyramidal roof.
The document provides information about high-tech architecture, which emerged in the 1970s incorporating industrial and technological elements into building design. Some key characteristics of high-tech architecture include prominently displaying the building's technical components and prefabricated elements, as well as using glass walls and steel frames. Notable practitioners who helped develop the style include Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Santiago Calatrava. The Swiss Re Tower in London is highlighted as an example that minimizes energy usage through its aerodynamic shape.
The document provides information about high-tech architecture, including:
- It emerged in the 1970s incorporating industrial/technological elements into designs.
- Early examples used exposed structural steel and experimented with hollow structural sections.
- Key practitioners include Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Santiago Calatrava known for organic, skeletal designs.
- Buildings prominently displayed technical/functional components and used prefabricated elements, glass walls, and steel frames influenced by Mies van der Rohe.
- Examples highlighted include Swiss Re Tower in London, Stansted Airport in the UK, and HSBC headquarters known for its absence of internal supports and use of natural light.
The document discusses four major movements in architecture from the late 20th century: Postmodernism, Deconstructivism, High-Tech, and Contextualism. Postmodernism rejected the minimalism of Modernism in favor of ornamentation and references to historical styles. Deconstructivism used fragmented and non-rectilinear shapes influenced by Cubism. High-Tech architecture prominently displayed the building's technical components and structure. Contextualism emphasized responding to a building's site through vernacularism, regionalism, and critical regionalism.
Norman Foster is a renowned British architect known for high-tech and sustainable architecture. Some of his most famous buildings include London City Hall, 30 St Mary Axe (known as the Gherkin), and the Reichstag building in Berlin. For London City Hall, Foster designed a uniquely bulbous shape to reduce energy needs by decreasing surface area. 30 St Mary Axe's distinctive cigar shape maximizes airflow and minimizes wind impact. For the Reichstag, Foster sensitively restored the historic structure and added a transparent dome symbolizing democracy. Across all projects, Foster aims to fulfill functional needs while creating aesthetically pleasing landmarks through innovative design.

It then summarizes 5 major projects by Foster: the Citic Bank Headquarters in Hangzhou, China; Al Faisaliyah Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; City Hall in London, England; Hearst Tower in New York City; and the planned Zayed National Museum in Abu Dhabi. Each summary includes key details about the commission, design, and construction.
Modern architecture began in the early 20th century as architects sought to reconcile design principles with advancing technology and modernization. Key characteristics included simplification of forms, expression of structure, and use of industrial materials. Important early figures included Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier. The Bauhaus school, founded in 1919, promoted rational design and the International Style spread its influence globally after World War 2. Regional styles also emerged, like Desert Modernism in the American Southwest, characterized by expansive glass and integration with the natural landscape.
Industrial architecture emerged during the Industrial Revolution to efficiently process raw materials into products. It prioritizes functionality over aesthetics with large open floor plans, high ceilings, and exposed materials. During deindustrialization, many facilities were abandoned but have since been revived through adaptive reuse as modern work and living spaces that preserve their industrial heritage.

2. What is Modern Architecture?
• New architectural style that emerged in many Western countries in the
decade after World War I.
• Is an attempt to interprets one’s purpose through building in a style
independent of fix symmetries.
• It was based on the "rational" use of modern materials, the principles of
functionalist planning, and the rejection of historical precedent and
ornament.
3. Common themes of modern architecture include:
• The notion that "Form follows function", a dictum originally expressed by Frank Lloyd Wright's
early mentor Louis Sullivan, meaning that the result of design should derive directly from its
purpose
• Simplicity and clarity of forms and elimination of "unnecessary detail"
• Materials at 90 degrees to each other
• Visual expression of structure (as opposed to the hiding of structural elements)
• The related concept of "Truth to materials", meaning that the true nature or natural appearance
of a material ought to be seen rather than concealed or altered to represent something else
• Use of industrially-produced materials; adoption of the machine aesthetic
• Particularly in International Style modernism, a visual emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines
4. Materials commonly used
• Prestressed steel in tension
• High-pressure concrete
• Glass block
• Wood
• Metal
• Chromium
• Plastics
• Copper
• Cork
• Steel
• Gypsum lumber
• Real and artificial stone
• Synthetic and compressed materials
• Versatile plywood
6. Strength is no longer synonymous with massiveness, for
more efficient new structural materials are used in vary
forms, scientifically calculated to avoid waste.
7. The supporting function is created my light, cage like
skeleton of steel and reinforced concrete, which is faster
and easier to build
8. Reinforce concrete is made by pouring concrete over steel
rods laid in temporary wooden moulds.
