Philip johnson
Philip Johnson was an American architect born in 1906 who is known for introducing the International Style of modern architecture to the United States. He began his career focusing on the stark glass and steel styles of Mies van der Rohe but later incorporated more ornamental historical elements. Johnson had a significant influence through his pioneering use of glass in buildings, experimenting with all-glass facades in projects like the AT&T Building, now the Sony Tower. He believed architecture was about organizing interior space and designed notable buildings like the Crystal Cathedral featuring dramatic glass structures.
Crystal palace london
The Crystal Palace was a large cast iron and glass structure built in London's Hyde Park to house the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was designed by Joseph Paxton and constructed quickly using prefabricated modules based on the size of available glass sheets. Over 5,000 workers erected the building, hoisting iron columns and components into place manually without powered cranes. The innovative design featured a modular frame supporting walls of glass, creating a vast open exhibition space illuminated by natural light.

Venturi incorporated unexpected juxtapositions of elements and aimed to accommodate the inherent conflicts in a site or project. His buildings typically combine architectural styles and references in unconventional ways.
Frank o. gehry
Frank Gehry is a renowned Canadian-American architect known for his innovative deconstructivist designs. Some of his most famous works include the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, which helped revitalize the city through its distinctive titanium cladding and irregular forms. The Gehry House in Santa Monica employed corrugated metal, wood, and chain-link fencing to wrap around and expand an existing home. The Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, praised for its acoustics, features a vineyard-style seating configuration within wood-paneled walls and a Douglas fir ceiling. Gehry's organic, sculptural designs break from strict grids and push architectural boundaries through unconventional shapes and materials.

Guggenheim Foundation's collection of modern art.

Piazza d'Italia featured a central fountain surrounded by colonnades representing classical orders. The Beverly Hills Civic Center arranged three oval courtyards diagonally, linking two city blocks with tiled arcades. Moore believed architecture should assist human memory and connections through space and time. He passed away in 1993 in San Francisco.

Adolf loos
Adolf Loos was an Austrian architect born in 1870 who was influential in early modern architecture. He traveled extensively in the United States as a young man, which inspired his plain, unadorned style that rejected ornamentation. Loos believed that ornamentation was unnecessary and a waste of resources. Some of his most notable works include the Steiner House in Vienna, known for its stucco facade and tripartite design, the Rufer House which pioneered his Raumplan concept of interconnected rooms at different levels, and the Villa Mueller in Prague with its severe symmetrical design and public versus private spaces organized by floor.
Philip johnson
Philip Johnson was an American architect known for experimenting with glass facades. Some of his most notable works include the Glass House (1949) and Puerta de Europa office towers in Madrid, Spain (1996).

The Villa Savoye served as a country retreat but suffered from leaks and cracks over time. It was added to the French register of historical monuments in 1965 and underwent restoration from 1985-1997. Le Corbusier was influential in promoting modern architecture and urban planning and made contributions to buildings in Europe, India, and North and South America before his death in 1965
Louis i kahn
Louis Isadore Kahn was a 20th century American architect, educator, and philosopher. Some key aspects of his work include redefining architecture through structure, form, space and light. He is known for his use of geometric shapes, solid materials like brick and concrete, and intentional use of natural light. Two important projects he designed were the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, characterized by its diagonal layout and use of local brick, and the Salk Institute characterized by its two symmetrical buildings separated by a courtyard and stream.
Post modern architecture
Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modern architecture. It sought to reintroduce ornamentation, color, and references to historical styles. Key characteristics included drawing from multiple sources rather than pure forms, moving away from neutral colors, and taking elements from different styles and combining them in new ways. Notable postmodern architects included Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves.

Louis isadore kahn
Louis Isadore Kahn was an American architect known for his monumental and monolithic modern designs. A turning point in his career came in 1950-51 when he visited ancient ruins in Greece and Egypt, inspiring him to combine classical forms and durable materials with modern techniques. He established a style influenced by solid forms, light/shadow contrasts, and a distinction between "served" and "servant" spaces. Two of his most admired works were the Yale University Art Gallery, known for its triangular staircase and use of concrete, brick and glass, and the Bangladesh National Assembly Building, a massive legislative complex featuring a central chamber lit by a parabolic shell roof.

Louis Kahn was commissioned in 1963 to design the National Assembly Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. His initial design included the Assembly Building itself with a legislative chamber, prayer hall, and offices, as well as dormitories and hostels. Kahn's design process began with sketches of a large square structure with corner towers for the Assembly Building. He later reconsidered making the prayer hall a more significant part of the design, given its purpose. Overall, Kahn's National Assembly Building design aimed to thoughtfully incorporate Bengali vernacular architecture traditions into a modern structure for this important civic building.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real life
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
