The Hearst Tower in New York City was designed by Norman Foster and completed in 2004. It combines elements of the International style, featuring a rectilinear form with glass and steel. Foster arranged the building's exposed structural members diagonally to showcase its complex design. The tower revives William Randolph Hearst's original plan for a Manhattan skyscraper, and won an award for being a sustainable new headquarters that brings new life to an existing building site.
A detailed study on the Hearst Building, New York by Sir Norman Foster essentially with respect to its high tech architecture feature. The structural arrangement and its sustainable design set it apart. It was one of the first of its kind when it was built.

the presentation gives a brief description about the architectural and engineering design and the construction methodologies applied and some statistical and engineering data
This is a report on all the basics of designing a High-Rise or simply you can say a Towerblock.
This a great pleasure for us to be able to thank both of our Design teachers, Ar. Tanjima Siddika And Ar. Azima Tabassum for their valuable suggestions and information which helped us in completing our report on High Rise Building.
For this purpose we went to Dhaka to survey the high rise building physically to enrich our knowledge in this issue. we visited the Shadhinota Tower, IDB Bhaban & Brac Center.
We would like to thank the authority of these towers who gave us permission to survey those buildings to understand high rise and its properties.
Lastly thanks to all of our classmates and group members of Arch-15th batch for their sincere efforts that completed this report.
Diagrid structural systems
are emerging as structurally efficient as well as architecturally significant assemblies for tall buildings.
. The evolution of tall building structural systems based on new structural
concepts with newly adopted high strength materials and construction methods have been towards “stiffness” and “lightness”. Structural systems are become
“lighter” and “stiffer”.
It is common knowledge that rather than directly standing the forces,
it is better to reduce them and dissipate the magnitude of vibrations.
Structure design of high rise buildings is governed by lateral loads due to
wind or earthquake.
Lateral load resistance of structure is provided by interior structural system
or exterior structural system.
The selected structural system should be such that it should be effectively
utilized for structural requirements.
Recently diagrid structural system is adopted in tall buildings due to its
structural efficiency and flexibility in architectural planning.

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.

USE WHAT YOU HAVE HERE you don’t have to write about the architecture background like when where he born most of the things you going stick with the two building…!!
SO MAKE A ARGUMENT for each paragraph do like this As a question (Does Postmodern architecture style is same as Modern architecture style or not) My opinion of course not its different from each other as style because ATT building has arch on front entry that makes a that building become postmodern Also flower window that’s uses in churches makes that postmodern and different levels each other different size scale buildings different usage each places different time period built so can make discussion question like this to make a argument for each paragraph also write about surroundings economic business around there s for each building (postmodern means if you use something from any style from backing centuries
Two Different Stories from the Style of Design
Introduction
The beginning of the postmodern architecture as an international style is cited that it started in the year 1950s, but the architecture did not become a style on its own until the year 1970s. The style is still influencing the modern architectural style[footnoteRef:1]. The formalized together with the functional shapes and space are now being replaced with a diverse aesthetics. As we had many cultural fashions, the most pronounced and the visible ideas of the postmodernism can clearly be seen in architecture. People have also been describing postmodern architecture as the neo-eclectic where we have the reference and ornament that had come to replace the modern architecture that is unornamented. The eclecticism always has a combination of the non-orthogonal angles together with other surfaces that are unusual. In this discussion, we are going to compare two buildings the The AT&T Building, now known as the Sony Tower and the Seagram building. [1: Jun, Ren. "The history of future architecture."

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
He was born in the year 1886 and died in the year 1969. He was an architect of the German –American origin. He was mainly referred to as mies because it was his surname. Many architects tend to refer to him as the pioneer of the modern architecture[footnoteRef:2]. Mies just like his post-world War I contemporaries, he decided to venture into a new architectural style that was going to change or rather revolutionize the modern times architecture the same way the Gothic and the classical were able to do in their era. He managed to create the twentieth architectural style that was going to represent the modern styles in architecture having extreme simplicity and clarity. [2: hadidZaha architects. ZahaHadid., 2014.

Mies was constructing mature buildings that were made of modern materials including the plate glass that was defining the interior spaces and the industrial st.

2. Introduction Location : 951-969 Eighth Ave at W47. Built in 2004 Architect – Norman Foster International style (late modern)
3. Norman Foster An English architect who attended Manchester University School of Architecture and Yale University. He received the Pritzer prize in 1999. Foster Associates is the name of his firm. The "High Tech" vocabulary of Foster Associates shows an uncompromising exploration of technological innovations and forms.
4. International Style This architectural style is mainly used for office buildings. Characteristics of this style may include: rectilinear forms plane surfaces No ornamentation and decoration open interior spaces visually weightless use of cantilever construction. Glass and steel
5. Hearst Tower An international style building with a very complex design. The building’s exposed structural members are laid diagonally to show complexity. Diagonal Grid construction.
6. Hearst Tower cont’d… This building was placed on an already existing bank, it combines both an old and new look that gives you the sense of new life. It also combines classic and international style also shows contrast .
8. Hearst Tower cont’d… Hearst Tower won the 2008 International Highrise Award Lord Foster said:“I am thrilled that Hearst Tower has been honoured with this prestigious award. It is a mark of an enlightened client and a great city that the tower literally sparkles on the New York skyline today. It represents the realisation of William Randolph Hearst’s original plan for a tower in Manhattan and it has been a privilege to revive this dream with a sustainable new home for the Hearst Corporation.”
