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.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Post Modern Architecture
1. Post-Modernism
“ Architects can no longer afford to be
intimidated by the puritanically moral
language of orthodox Modern architecture.”
– Robert Venturi
2. Outline
Introduction
• “Less is A Bore”
Robert Venturi
• “Learning From Las Vegas”
• The Duck and the Decorated Shed
The Architects of Post-Modernism and their
Works
3. Breaking the Box of Modernism
The monolith of
Modernism began to
show hairline cracks
after WWII.
Architects surveyed the
field and found the
zeal, conviction and
utopian vision of the
pioneering Modernists
waning.The Seagram Building
Mies Van Der Rohe, 1958
4. The Reaction to
Modernism, 1950s-1970s
Postmodern architecture
began as an international
style whose first examples
are generally cited as being
from the 1950s, but did not
become a movement until
the late 1970s and
continues to influence
present-day architecture.
1000 de La Gauchetière, Montréal, Lemay
& Associates architects, 1992
5. The Emergence of Post-Modernism
• 1960s - the emergence of Post-Modernism, a way
of thinking of architecture that is quite different
from the approach of International Style
designers.
• “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture”,
Robert Venturi, 1966 made the case for non-
straightforward architecture and glorified
Baroque architecture.
Mies Van de Rohe “Less is more “
Robert Venturi “Less is a bore”
6. Robert Venturi’s Vision
I like elements which are hybrid rather
than ‘pure’, compromising rather
than ‘clean’, distorted rather than
‘straightforward’, ambiguous rather
than ‘articulated’, perverse as well
as impersonal, boring as well as
‘interesting’, conventional rather
than ‘designed’, accommodating
rather than excluding, redundant
rather than simple, vestigial as well
as innovating, inconsistent and
equivocal rather than direct and
clear. I am for messy vitality over
obvious unity. I include the non
sequitor and proclaim the duality.
7. Robert Venturi, Vanna Venturi House, Pennsylvania, 1962
In this modest dwelling, Venturi combined simplicity of external form with
complexity of interior layout, and conventional symbols and elements with
contradictory arrangements.The house was constructed with intentional
formal architectural, historical and aesthetic contradictions.
9. The Duck and the Decorated Shed
The terms “duck” and “decorated shed” were
codified in the 1972 book Learning from Las
Vegas by Robert Venturi, his wife Denise Scott
Brown, and their friend Steven Izenour. The
book argues that there are two distinctly
different types of buildings and that all
buildings can be classified as one or the other.
Duck-shaped roadside building, Eastern Long
Island, used to sell ducks and eggs.
10. ‘Wit, ornament and reference’
Postmodernity in architecture is generally
thought to be heralded by the return of "wit,
ornament and reference" to architecture in
response to the formalism of the International
Style of modernism.
11. City Hall, Mississauga, Canada , 1987
The functional and formalized shapes and
spaces of the modernist movement are
replaced by unapologetically diverse
aesthetics:
•styles collide
•form is adopted for its own sake
•new ways of viewing familiar styles and
space abound.
Perhaps most obviously, architects
rediscovered the expressive and symbolic
value of architectural elements and forms
that had evolved through centuries of
building—often maintaining meaning in
literature, poetry and art—but which had
been abandoned by the modern movement.
12. Modernism=Post Modernism
• Modernist architects may regard
postmodern buildings as vulgar,
associated with a populist ethic, and
sharing the design elements of
shopping malls andmay cluttered
with "gew-gaws". ..
• This contrast was exemplified in the
juxtaposition of the "whites" against
the "grays," in which the "whites"
were seeking to continue (or revive)
the modernist tradition of purism
and clarity, ...
The divergence in opinions comes down
to a difference in goals: modernism is
rooted in minimal and true use of
material as well as absence of
ornament...
• ...while Postmodern architects may
regard many modern buildings as
soulless and bland, overly simplistic
and abstract.
• ...while the "grays" were embracing a
more multifaceted cultural vision,
seen in Robert Venturi's statement
rejecting the "black or white" world
view of modernism in favor of "black
and white and sometimes gray."
• ... While postmodernism is a
rejection of strict rules set by the
early modernists and seeks meaning
and expression in the use of building
techniques, forms, and stylistic
references.
13. The ‘Post-Modern’ Architects
• Philip Johnson
• Charles Moore
• Michael Graves
• Robert A.M. Stern
• James Stirling
• Frank Gehry
• Robert Venturi
14. Philip Johnson
Left: Pazzi Chapel, Brunelleschi, Florence, 1441
No 20th C architect has
received more attention for
his historicism than Philip
Johnson, nor has any
architect practiced or
indeed lived longer than he
has.
In 1984, Johnson took the
center of Post-Modernist
age, with his AT&T
Headquarters in New York
City.
At its base is a giant
Serliana, which has been
compared by some to the
facade of Brunelleschi’s
Pazzi Chapel, and at its
crown a broken pediment,
which has been compared
to a grandfather’s clock or
18th C highboy.
15. AT&T Building, New York
1984
With this building and its references to
architectural styles of the past,
Philip Johnson broke completely
with the Miesian tradition. In fact,
his client had said emphatically
that the company did not want
another glass box. Philip Johnson and John Burgee, American Telephone
and Telegraph Headquarters, New York, 1984.
The Miesian Tradition
16. Philip Johnson
Bank of America Center,
Houston, John Burgee and
Philip Johnson, 1984
combines architecture
elements of pre-WWII
skyscrapers with elements
of modern aesthetics.
17. Charles Moore, 1933
The Piazza d’Italia in New
Orleans (1975-79) consists
of a flamboyant, wildly
Ne0-Classical, neon-
outlined, scenographic
backdrop for a contour
map of Italy set in a pool
of water that is
demarcated by concentric
rings of marble paving. It
is much spectacle as
architecture.
18. Piazza d’ Italia, 1979
Charles Moore brought to Post-
Modernism a gentle but studied
playfulness that made his
buildings immediately accessible
to the public and professionals
alike. Moore took pleasure in
historical allusions, but with
large doses of whimsy.
19. Michael Graves, 1934
Graves describes his work as
‘figurative’, with the figural
elements traceable to
‘classical and
anthropomorphic sources’.
The Portland Building in
Portland, Oregon (1980) is
replete with quotations
from the classical language:
the temples on the roof
(never built), the giant
keystone beneath them,
the pair of fluted pilasters
of indeterminate order,
and the tiered stylobate at
street level.
The Portland Building in Portland, Oregon
(1980)
20. The Portland Building, Oregon,
1984
Graves was also a force in reintroducing color
into 20th c architecture, as here with the green
base, terracotta-colored columns, and tan
flanking walls punctured by square windows.
21. Swan and Dolphin Hotel, Michael Graves
Disneyworld, Orlando, Florida, 1987
25. Robert A.M. Stern (b 1939)
Disney’s Newport Bay Club, 1992.
Disney's Newport Bay Club is a hotel situated at the Disneyland Paris. It was
designed by architect Robert A.M. Stern and styled after archetypal New
England architecture with its white clapboard exterior, porches, woodwork and
nautical memorabilia. Its name was derived from the town of Newport, Rhode
Island.
26. Post-Modernism defined by Robert Stern:
contextualism, allusionism, and ornamentalism.
Contextualism refers to connections
between the building and its
setting as Post-Modernist
architects attempt to link their
buildings to established patterns,
geometries, and possibilities for
future growth, rather than
conceiving each design as an
isolated object in the landscape, as
many would argue that Modernists
did.
27. Robert Stern Projects
One of the entrances to the Walt Disney World Casting Center, across the road from Downtown Disney. The
architectural design is by Robert Stern, with its castle-like influences and Mickey Mouse shapes.
Stern has written at length about classicism, calling it the “fulcrum about which architectural discourse balances”
and has built in a variety of traditional styles.
Residence, Edgartown.
28.
29. Staatsgalerie, Stuttgart, Germany 1984
Stirling’s Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany contains a host of historical allusions, and responds to its site in a
fashion somewhere between the search for a genus loci, or peculiar character of the place, and literal
deconstruction.
Stirling made the rotonda a sculptural garden and part of a public walkway designed in homage to an established
pedestrian path through the site. As for the allusions, Stirling used Greek or Roman pediments to Egyptian cavetto
cornices to displaced stonework.
James Stirling
(1926-1992)
30. James Stirling Projects
Cambridge Faculty of History, England
1968
The Biological Science Library,
University of California, Irvine, 1994
32. Education City Convention Centre, Qatar by Arata Isozaki
Under Construction
The conceptual design of the centre was developed to incorporate a large “Sidra tree” has
very strong roots, which allow it to flourish in the harsh climate of the desert. The tree is a
symbol of strength and growth, serving as an icon to the people of Qatar as well as the
emblem of the Qatar Foundation.
33. Frank Gehry, (b1929)
Frank Gehry has succeeded in having a host of designs that would seem destined to remain as models
or conceptual drawings actually built. Early in his career he realized that he often preferred buildings in
an incomplete state of construction to the finished products. While most would have left it at that,
Gehry started to design new buildings that seemed frozen in a state of becoming.
Above: Frank Gehry Residence, 1978
34. Team Disney Administration Building, California, 1995
Seen from the freeway, its flat,
quilted metal facade
appears to be quite
conventional, its regularity
broken only by slight offsets
in the stacking of windows
and the mottled colored
scheme.
To the rear however, the buildings massing
becomes curvilinear, warped, even delusional,
as canary-yellow walls bend, lean forward, and
lean back, their canopies equally disfigured, as
if a result of a recent seismic event.
35. Team Disney Burbank, California, 1991.
Michael Graves designed the building, which features large figures of the dwarves
from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on its facade acting as caryatids.
36. National Nederlander, “Fred and Ginger”, Praque (1997)
Here, within a historic context, Gehry took movement as his theme for a corner building that
twists and projects in space with an energy expressive of the opening up of Eastern Europe since
the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
37. Gehry, National Nederlander, “Fred and Ginger”, Praque (1997)
The entrance tower of concrete columns bundled in glass seem to sway as if part of an
urban choreography in step with the surrounding buildings and space, hence the “Fred
and Ginger” nickname. The result, though idiosyncratic, is surprisingly contextual,
acknowledging adjacent medieval towers and Baroque facades and domes.
38. Gehry, Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao (1997)
This museum has aroused a kind of popular and critical interest equalled by few other 20th c constructions. His
exhilarating structure replaced dock facilities on a site adjacent to the Nervion river in a gritty manufacturing city.
Out of a four mass blossom “pleated petals” of titanium attached to a steel frame. The museum acts as a mirror,
reflecting and absorbing the city, reflecting and absorbing itself. Giving off a metallic luminescence, it hovers and
shimmers at the end of a hard-edged urban vistas.
39. Gehry began to explode buildings, breaking them up into discrete
volumes in a way that to some, reflects the fragmentation in modern
society.
The VannaVenturi House is one of the first prominent works of the postmodern architecture movement.
City Hall, Mississauga, Canada conveys a Postmodern architectural style depicting the concept of a "futuristic farm”.
Economic constraints called for one more floor than in neighbouring buildings, but accommodated within the same cornice height. In order to resolve the conflict, Gehry lowered and camouflaged the floor levels by means of fish scale-like undulating layers of cement plaster and more displaced windows.
