Vernacular and modern architecture lessons from corbusierchiko Ncube
Le Corbusier was deeply influenced by the vernacular architecture he encountered during his 1911 "Journey to the East" through southeastern Europe. He was inspired by the simple forms, massing, use of light and shadow, and blending of interior and exterior spaces in traditional buildings. These influences can be seen in his early works like the Villa Schwob. The Villa Savoye showcases several vernacular-inspired elements, including the use of glazing at the entrance to blur boundaries, a ramp to guide movement between spaces like ceremonial ramps in mosques, and a washbasin bringing nature into the home like traditional "water temples." Overall, the document examines how Le Corbusier's study of modest traditional
Rem Koolhaas is a renowned Dutch architect known for his innovative and gravity-defying structures. After graduating from architecture school in 1972, he founded OMA, his architecture firm, which takes an experimental approach to design through research, model-making, and allowing creative freedom. Some of Koolhaas' most notable buildings include the CCTV Headquarters in Beijing, Casa da Música in Porto, and Seattle Central Library, which showcase his bold visions for reinventing typologies through unique forms and spatial experiences.
High tech architecture emerged in the 1970s and incorporates elements of high technology into building designs. It emphasizes transparency and reveals the underlying structure and functions. Pioneers of high tech architecture include Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, and Renzo Piano.

There are similarities found between the two approaches, like introversion, simplicity, and emphasis on interior spaces over facades. Both designers achieve privacy while integrating local materials and customs.
Architecture After the Industrial Revolutionnichols4
From the Chrystal Palace in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris to the sky scrapers of New York and Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water, we'll explore some foundational movements in architecture in the last 150 years.
Late modern architecture and post modern architectureOnal Kothari
Late Modern architecture took the ideas and motifs of Modernism to extremes, emphasizing structure, technology, and mechanical elements. Examples include the Pompidou Center in Paris, which prominently displayed the building's functional elements on the exterior, and the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., which featured an atrium space lit by a triangular skylight and balconies overlooking the main area. Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1950s as a response to the formalism of Modernism, reintroducing ornamentation, references to historical styles, and wit.
Chapter 13: Neo-Classicism, Romanticism, and the RococoDouglas Vail
The chapter discusses architectural developments in the 18th century, including Rococo, Neo-Classicism, and Romanticism. It describes the Rococo style as highly decorative. Neo-Classicism emerged as architects returned to studying ancient Greek and Roman ruins scientifically. Romanticism rejected Neo-Classicism's rationality in favor of emotion. Specific architects and buildings from this era are also discussed, such as Robert Adam's use of classical motifs in innovative spatial designs at English country houses.
The document discusses key aspects of modernist architecture and design. It describes De Stijl's emphasis on simplicity, primary colors, and asymmetry.

Some of the key points made about Buffett's life and advice include: he bought his first stock at age 11 and encourages children to start investing early; he still lives in the same house he bought over 50 years ago and drives his own car; his company Berkshire Hathaway owns 63 companies but he gives CEOs freedom and focuses on clear goals; his advice to others includes living simply and doing what you enjoy rather than trying to impress others.
The document discusses the limitations of traditional information and communication theories based solely on data or information flow. It proposes a new field called "Cybersemiotics" that integrates Niklas Luhmann's communication theory with C.S. Peirce's semiotics to provide a trans-disciplinary approach to information, cognition, and communication studies. This new approach aims to address shortcomings in current models by incorporating phenomenological and social aspects of meaning, cognition, and language.
This is my portfolio of work samples from three years of education at the University of Brighton, plus some additional work I've done like exhibitions.
The oldest building still in use in the world is the Pantheon in Rome. It was built in 117 AD, nearly 2000 years old. It must look a bit odd when it was first completed. The building is round and has an enormous dome on top. Looking at its exterior now it may not look much, but it is still one of the most admired buildings in the world, mainly because of its age and the construction technique used in the building. I wonder if any of our iconic buildings today would survive as long. Would they still appear as aesthetically pleasing as they are now?
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is such an iconic building today. It has become the landmark of the city of Bilbao. Just like the Tower Bridge to London, the Statue of Liberty to New York, and the Eiffel Tower to Paris. In this sense the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao is a big success. Nobody can take that away. Not only has the building shown us the use of new construction technique and the use of new material, it was also completed on time and within budget. I was not sure how to look at the building before my visit. But after looking at it, I think it is a great building and a piece of architectural art.
