The Industrial Revolution brought about radical changes in architecture from the 18th century onwards. New building materials like cast iron, steel and glass emerged, allowing new structural designs. Factories and infrastructure like bridges and railroads were constructed to support industry. Cities grew rapidly as people moved to where factories and jobs were. Housing expanded quickly but was often overcrowded and unsanitary to accommodate large urban populations. Overall, the Industrial Revolution enabled unprecedented architectural innovation and construction enabled by new technologies and materials.
CONGRATULATIONS ON BRAZILIAN ENGINEER'S DAY.pdfFaga1939
Today, December 11, is celebrated the Day of the Engineer whose profession was regulated in Brazil by President Getúlio Vargas through Decree 23,569, of December 11, 1933, which also created the Federal Council of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy (CONFEA) and the Regional Councils of Engineering, Architecture and Agronomy (CREA), responsible for overseeing the profession. It is known that Engineering is present in the entire productive sector, namely: in factories, in housing and infrastructure construction sites, in universities, in scientific laboratories, in technological research centers, in transport, in energy generation, in communications, in food production, among other undertakings. The great changes that have been taking place in people's lives, in the modern world, were generated by technology that is fed by accumulated knowledge and large investments in research and innovation. Humanity needs Engineering because it transforms the knowledge accumulated in universities and research centers, public and private, into products and services available to society.
This document provides an overview of architecture during two major historical periods: the Industrial Revolution from 1750-1850 and the 19th century in the United States. It discusses how the Industrial Revolution led to new building types like factories, rail stations, and prefabricated structures. New materials like cast iron and glass were used. In the US, a grid plan was adopted for cities, and wood construction was later replaced by steel frames. Chicago developed a distinctive skyscraper style with elevators enabling taller buildings. Figures like Louis Sullivan helped establish the idea that form should follow function.
This document discusses the concepts of program, function, architecture, and building. It defines four functions of buildings: protective, domain, social, and cultural. Architecture is distinguished from building in that a building only becomes architecture when it is part of cultural discussion. The document then discusses the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao designed by Frank Gehry. It was intended to revitalize the city of Bilbao economically and has attracted over 20 million visitors, bringing $500 million to the local economy in its first three years. It is considered one of the most important works of architecture since 1980 for uniting critics and the public.
