This biography details Norman Foster, a renowned British architect born in 1935 in Manchester, England. He received degrees in architecture from Manchester University and Yale University. Foster worked on urban planning projects in the US before founding Foster Associates (now Foster + Partners) in 1963. Notable projects include the HSBC Headquarters in Hong Kong, Stansted Airport in London, and the Swiss Re Tower in London. Foster is motivated by invention and questioning traditional approaches to design problems. He strives to push design boundaries with each building.

High-tech architecture, also known as Late Modernism or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design.
High-tech architecture appeared as a revamped modernism , an extension of those previous ideas helped by even more technological advances.
This category serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism ; there remain gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Some of its ideas were later absorbed into the style of Neo-Futurism art and architectural movement.

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.

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.

3. PHILOSOPHY-
-HE CONFESSES TO BEING OBSESSED WITH INVENTION. PART OF
THIS OBSESSION IS A FASCINATION WITH INQUIRY—WITH
“GOING BACK TO BASICS”.
--HE SAYS, “I HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES
OF A PROBLEM IN ORDER TO QUESTION THE TRADITIONAL
RESPONSE & IDENTIFY IF THERE IS A OPPORTUNITY TO INVENT OR
RE-INVENT A SOLUTION.
--“I DESIGN BUILDINGS IN THE HOPE THAT THEY TAKE FORWARD
THE BOUNDARIES OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE OF EACH
PARTICULAR BUILDING TYPE.
--THE NATURE OF DESIGN— WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THE
APPEARANCE, FEEL OR WORKINGS OF A BUILDING—THE EXPERIENCE
OF SPACES, INSIDE OR OUTSIDE, DESERTED OR INHABITED, INVOLVES
ALL OF OUR SENSES.

6. SWISS RE TOWERS
•The 590-foot- (180-meter-)
high, 40-story, 76,400-square-
meter Swiss Re Tower is said
to be London's first
environmental skyscraper.
• Its aerodynamic, glazed
shape minimizes wind loads
and maximizes natural light
and ventilation, reducing the
building's energy consumption
to 50 percent of that of a
traditional large office building.
• As a working environment, it
offers unequalled views of the
surrounding city.
8. Building details
The external diagonal steel structure
uses triangular forms to be inherently
strong, permitting a flexible column-
free interior space.
The building's height was made
feasible by the use of a peripheral
"diagrid," in which all the steel
elements subtly interlock.
The exterior cladding consists of
approximately 5,500 flat triangular
and diamond-shaped glass panels,
which vary in size at each level.
9. Building details
The envelope at the office areas
consists of a double-glazed outer
layer and a single-glazed inner
screen that sandwich a central,
ventilated cavity containing solar-
control blinds.
These cavities act as buffer zones
to reduce the need for
mechanical heating and cooling
and are ventilated by exhaust air
drawn from the offices
10. Building details
• "Windows in the light wells open
automatically to augment the air
conditioning system with natural
ventilation, an occurrence anticipated to
save energy for up to 40% of the year.
• The floor plans are shaped like flowers,
with a circular perimeter indented by 6
triangular light courts. The indentations
remain a constant size at each level,
while the space between them
diminishes.
• The floor plan is rotated for each
successive floor, creating a series of
spiraling 5-storey atria that stretch the full
height of the building."
13. STANSTED AIRPORT
Location: London, England, UK.
Date: 1991
Building Type: Airport
Construction System: Steel Frame
Climate: Mild Temperature
Context: Urban
Style: High Tech Modern
The Creator's Words:
"The design of the new terminal at Stansted Airport has been influenced by two
important factors. The first is the opportunity, in the context of a new site, to
reconsider the configuration of an airport building from first principles. The
second is the relationship of the building to its surroundings."
15. STANSTED AIRPORT
Features a
"floating" roof,
supported by a
space frame of
inverted-pyramid
roof trusses,
creating the
impression of a
stylized swan in
flight
16. STANSTED AIRPORT
The base of each truss structure is a "utility pillar", which provides
indirect up lighting illumination and is the location for air-
conditioning and water, telecommunications, and electrical outlets
17. STANSTED AIRPORT
The layout of the airport is
designed to provide an
unobstructed flow for
passengers to arrive at the
short-stay car park, move
through the check-in hall
and on to the departure
gates all on the same level
