The document discusses Frank Gehry's Santa Monica house from the late 1980s. It features unconventional abstract forms with smooth exterior surfaces that contrast each other. Gehry employed deconstructivism and reconstruction techniques using low-cost materials. The house has redefined windows and blurs the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. It contrasts shapes and forms both inside and out. The document also discusses Tadao Ando's 1984 Koshino House in Japan. It consists of rectangular concrete boxes joined by a fan-shaped atelier with rooms aligned like Le Corbusier's monastic cells. Ando's signature traits evident in the house include emptiness, tactility of materials, and a sense of

Gehry's house
Frank Gehry renovated his 1920 home in Santa Monica, California in the late 1970s in a daring deconstructivist style that shocked neighbors. He kept the original Dutch colonial structure but cut holes in walls, rebuilt them at odd angles, and wrapped the exterior in corrugated metal and other industrial materials. This transformed the quiet home into a symbol of deconstruction. The renovation added twisted volumes around and through the original structure, blurring boundaries between interior and exterior in a complex relationship between old and new forms.
Tadao Anto- Critical Regionalism
Perception of Tadao Anto on Critical Regionalism and three of his major works- Water Temple, Benesse House and Church of Light.
Kaufman house
Richard Neutra designed the Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, California between 1946-1948. Neutra was a pioneer of modern architecture who studied under Adolf Loos, Gustav Aman, and Frank Lloyd Wright. The house features large glass openings and cantilevered slabs to create an airy, floating structure integrated with the surrounding desert context. Neutra designed the house to create a microclimate and separate public and private spaces according to cardinal directions.
Mario botta
Mario Botta is a Swiss architect born in 1943 in Mendrisio, Switzerland. He graduated from the University of Venice in 1969 and opened his own studio in Lugano in 1970. Botta is known for his modernist and geometric designs that emphasize craftsmanship and respect for local context. His works include houses, schools, banks, and museums across Europe and Asia. He believes architecture should reflect its time and place while using natural materials and light symbolically.

Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando is a self-taught Japanese architect born in 1941 in Osaka. He was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Imperial Hotel and decided to pursue architecture after leaving his boxing career. Ando attended night classes to learn drawing and took correspondence courses in interior design. He established his own firm, Tadao Ando Architects and Associates, in 1968 after visiting buildings by Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Louis Kahn. Ando's architectural style emphasizes nothingness and empty space to represent simplicity and he favors complex spatial circulation with an appearance of simplicity while maintaining influences from Japanese culture and language.
Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando is a Japanese architect known for his minimalist concrete designs that emphasize empty space and simplicity. Ando was strongly influenced by Japanese culture and religion in his approach. He believes architecture can reform society by changing how people live and the identity of places. Ando is known for designs that create a "haiku" effect through contrasting solid concrete walls with openings that admit natural light and connect the interior to nature. This draws attention to the dualities of light and dark, and solid and void.
CHARLES MOORE
Charles W. Moore was an American architect credited with pioneering post-modernism. He received his education at the University of Michigan and Princeton University. Some of Moore's most notable works include Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans and the Beverly Hills Civic Center. 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.
Modern architecture style
Modern architecture began in the early 20th century as architects sought to reconcile design principles with rapid technological advancement through simplification of form and subtraction of ornamentation. Some key architectural styles that emerged during this period included Organic Architecture championed by Frank Lloyd Wright which promoted harmony with nature, Art Deco with its linear symmetry and inspiration from ancient cultures in the 1920s-30s, and the International Style of the 1920s-30s characterized by efficiency over decoration with glass curtain walls and right angles. Mid-Century Modern of the 1930s-60s combined elements of earlier styles like Art Deco with simplicity, and Postmodern Architecture emerging in the late 1970s rejected modernism's simplicity and instead embraced diverse, sometimes coll
Dar al islam, Abiquiu, New Mexico
The Dar al-Islam Foundation in New Mexico has been constructing a masjid (mosque) and madrasah (school) out of earth since 1981 according to the principles of Hassan Fathy.

Light Transmitting concrete
This document summarizes the key aspects of translucent concrete, also known as light transmitting concrete or LitraCon. It was first developed in 2003 by Hungarian architect Aron Losonzi. The concrete becomes translucent through the uniform distribution of thin optical fibers throughout the material. As light passes through the fibers, it is transmitted across the concrete through the process of total internal reflection. The manufacturing process involves casting thousands of parallel optical fibers directly into the concrete mixture. This allows light to pass through the material while maintaining its compressive strength. Some applications of translucent concrete include illuminated sidewalks, building walls, and stairwells.

Sedimentation And Purification of Water
Aeration oxidizes organic matter and removes substances like iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and VOCs from water. It increases dissolved oxygen and is often the first major process in water treatment. There are two methods of aeration: passing water through air and passing air through water. Common aerator types include cascade, cone, and spray aerators.
Sedimentation is the process where suspended materials settle by gravity in water. It follows coagulation and flocculation to remove floc created by chemicals.

Bishnupur Temples Conservation
The document discusses the architectural conservation of brick temples in Bishnupur, India. It summarizes restoration efforts that have involved replacing damaged terracotta panels and architectural elements with matching new materials. Consolidation techniques for cracks have included use of lime or cement mortar as appropriate. Preventative measures instituted include installing lightning conductors, maintaining gardens and low-rise buildings nearby, and limiting commercial activities. Ongoing maintenance addresses issues like plant growth, fungus, plaster peeling, and efflorescence. The temples are significant for their terracotta art, historical architecture, and ongoing religious use.

Frank lloyd wright- Taliesin East and Taliesin West, Guggenheim Museum, Falli...
Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect born in 1867 known for pioneering organic architecture. He designed two homes called Taliesin East and Taliesin West. Taliesin East was located in Wisconsin and consisted of three iterations built between 1911-1925 after fires destroyed the previous structures. Taliesin West was located in Arizona and constructed between 1937-1958 as Wright's winter home and studio campus in the desert landscape. Both homes featured Wright's signature organic and open floor plans that blended indoor and outdoor spaces using local natural materials.

- 24. COMPARISONS DECONSTRUCTIVISM • Its reformed modernism. • Reduces the overall level of complexity involved • Maintains a clearer analysis while attempting to reconcile modernist architecture with local differences. In effect, this leads to a modernist "vernacular." • Critical regionalism displays a lack of self-criticism and a utopianism of place. CRITICAL REGIONALISM • Its permeated post modernism. • Maintains a level of self-criticism, as well as external criticism and tends towards maintaining a level of complexity. • It is not an empirical process, it can result in whatever an architect wishes, and it thus suffers from a lack of consistency.
