Falling Water was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1934. It is located near a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania. The house is built directly over the waterfall, with cantilevered terraces extending over the river. It seamlessly integrates the natural setting by anchoring to the bedrock and using local stone, with modern concrete terraces hovering above. The house avoids an enclosed feeling by providing open plans and visual connections to the surrounding environment.
Frank Lloyd Wright designed Fallingwater in 1935 as a weekend home built over a waterfall in rural Pennsylvania for the Kaufmann family. Wright's organic architecture philosophy aimed to harmonize structures with nature. The design incorporated horizontal and vertical lines to bring the surrounding nature inside through openings framing views of the waterfall. Construction from 1936-1937 cost $155,000, more than the original $35,000 estimate, but created Wright's masterpiece integrating architecture with the natural landscape.
R. Buckminster Fuller was an American architect and engineer known for developing the geodesic dome. He was also a philosopher who had unconventional ideas. He attended Harvard but was expelled twice. For decades, Fuller developed many designs focused on efficiency and lower costs, documenting his work daily. His most famous structure is the geodesic dome, a spherical structure based on triangles that distributes stress evenly. Fuller designed dome-shaped structures like the Biosphere museum in Montreal and Dymaxion houses, which sought to use minimal materials efficiently. However, none of his house designs were widely produced. Fuller received patents for his dome design and popularized its use in buildings.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for pioneering organic architecture that aimed to harmonize structures with their natural surroundings. One of his most famous works is Fallingwater, a house built in 1937 near Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Fallingwater is built directly over a 30-foot waterfall, with terraces that echo the rock ledges below. Wright designed the house so that its residents could experience the waterfall as part of their daily life, with water sounds heard throughout. The home exemplifies Wright's organic style through its integration with the surrounding forest and use of local materials like stone.

This document discusses the architectural principle of "form follows function". It begins by quoting Louis Sullivan stating that this principle is a universal law that applies to both organic and inorganic things, as well as physical and metaphysical things. The form or expression of something is recognizable through its function.
It then provides examples of how form depends on function for different types of buildings and structures. The form of a movie theater or farmhouse, for instance, depends on its long-term function and intended use. Product design is also influenced by considering a product's entire lifecycle from conception to use and retirement.
Finally, it discusses how realizing an appropriate form for a building or structure involves a professional design team that considers the
This document provides information about American architect Robert Venturi and his design philosophies and works. It discusses how Venturi rejected modernist ideas of simplicity and embraced complexity, contradiction, ambiguity, and references to popular and vernacular culture.

history of contemporary architecture - 11. Expressionism.pptDania Abdel-aziz
Expressionism was an early 20th century art movement centered in Germany that sought to convey deep emotional content through abstraction and distortion rather than realism. In architecture, Expressionist buildings often had sculptural, irrational forms that were personalized and idiosyncratic. Bruno Taut was a German architect active during this period who is considered an Expressionist. Some of his notable works include the Glass Pavilion built in 1914, made of concrete and brightly colored glass, and the Horseshoe Estate residential development built in Berlin between 1925-1927, featuring curved buildings arranged around a central pond. Expressionist architecture tended to use materials like glass, steel and brick, and forms that were individualistic compared to other styles of the time.
Alvar Aalto was a Finnish architect known for his organic modernist style that was influenced by nature. Some of his most famous works include Villa Mairea, which featured courtyard and massing designs inspired by nature, and Paimio Sanatorium, a tuberculosis hospital with abundant natural light and cantilevered balconies. Aalto also designed furniture like the Paimio Chair and Zebra Chair using wood and innovative bending techniques. He had a philosophy of humanistic modernism and aimed to integrate architecture with its natural surroundings.
Richard Meier is an American architect known for his rationalist and minimalist buildings that prominently feature the color white. Some of his most notable works include the Jubilee Church in Rome, which uses a self-cleaning material and features soaring sails, and the Athenaeum in New Harmony, intended as a community center. Meier's works are influenced by architects like Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Frank Lloyd Wright, incorporating simple forms, naturally lit interiors, and circulation elements like ramps.

It includes biographical information about Calatrava such as being born in 1951 in Spain, studying civil engineering, and founding his own architecture firm. It also discusses some of Calatrava's notable projects like the Milwaukee Art Museum, City of Arts and Sciences, and Turning Torso building. The presentation examines Calatrava's inspiration from nature and the human body in his structural designs.
The document provides information about the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, designed by architect Frank Gehry. It discusses the museum's titanium cladding, advanced steel structure, curved surfaces inspired by shipbuilding, and use of natural light. The 3D computer model was critical for constructing the monumental curved building and specifying each custom steel girder. The titanium skin provides waterproofing and reflects light to emphasize the curves. Inside, the atrium connects galleries and hanging walkways provide views of exhibits and the city.
The document provides information about the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, designed by architect Frank Gehry. It discusses the museum's unique titanium cladding and curved geometric forms, as well as its role in revitalizing Bilbao. The museum was constructed between 1993-1997, using a 3D computer model to guide the complex steel structure and unique titanium tile skin. Natural light illuminates the galleries through large windows and skylights. The museum houses notable art installations and has become one of the most admired works of architecture from the late 20th century.
The document provides details about several of the author's design projects from their time in architecture school. It includes summaries and concept descriptions for projects like ENYA, a pedestrian bridge proposal in Queens, New York; GLOBE, an open pavilion structure; a bridge connecting an airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina; and ICMA, a museum showcasing concrete masonry units. Common themes across the projects include a focus on form and concept, use of natural materials, and manipulation of the mundane through 3D modeling techniques.
The document describes Enrico Manias's thesis project for a new professional institute in Florence, Italy. The project aims to harmoniously integrate the new building into the surrounding rural area through formal simplicity and an analysis of local architectural forms. The new institute consists of several blocks connected by an inner street and courtyards. It includes classrooms, laboratories, a library, gym, and public community spaces. The main facade is linear while the rear facade divides into pieces around courtyards to embrace the landscape.
The Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, designed by Louis Kahn, exemplifies his principles of monumentality and the play of natural light. The museum consists of 16 parallel barrel vaults grouped into three wings, which allow daylight to enter and illuminate the interior galleries through narrow slits. Kahn used concrete, wood, and travertine to achieve a warm, inviting atmosphere. The vaulted structure appears to float on pillars, and the landscaping further enhances the visitor experience. The museum demonstrates Kahn's masterful use of form and natural light to create a work of architectural art.
Henry Chuang's portfolio documents his education at Cornell University in architecture and his work experience. It includes details of his thesis projects which explored concepts like flexibility, transformation, and liminality. His skills include software like Rhino, V-Ray, and fabrication techniques. He received the Coup de Coeur award for his "Origami Suitcase" project.
The Guggenheim Museum in New York is located in Manhattan and features a distinctive spiral design. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building in the late 1950s as a white cylindrical structure with galleries arranged in an illuminated spiral ramp. Visitors view artwork as they walk up the ramp, taking inspiration from Babylonian ziggurats. The museum has 6 floors of exhibition space topped by a glass dome and offers panoramic views of Central Park from its location on the Upper East Side.
This portfolio comprises projects from my first year in the MArch program at Clemson University. It also includes my final exit project from my undergrad program in interior design. Hope you enjoy :)
The document provides background information on architect Peter Eisenman, outlining his education, early career as part of the New York Five group, and development of an ideology aligned with deconstructivism. It then discusses several of Eisenman's key works in detail, including the City of Culture of Galicia in Spain, the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, and the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. The works are analyzed in terms of their conceptual origins, formal qualities, and how they embody Eisenman's exploration of fragmentation, instability in ordered systems, and challenging preconceptions through architecture.
Apologies as I am unable to share the actual presentation as my laptop crashed. I have received quite a few requests so I just wanted to clear it up.
Thanks for your interest
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. They designed iconic buildings using advanced materials and expressed the industrial aesthetic with exposed services and structural elements.
David Chipperfield designed an expansion to the Saint Louis Art Museum that opened in 2013. His design respected the original 1904 building by Cass Gilbert, creating a new rectilinear east wing that sits harmoniously next to the historic structure. The new pavilion has floor-to-ceiling glazing and is clad in polished concrete to blend with the landscape. Its concrete ceiling grid provides flexibility while also integrating mechanical systems and lighting. Chipperfield's design achieved an organic integration of old and new wings through materiality, form, and spatial connections.
The document provides case studies and standard analyses of several art gallery projects including the Liberation War Museum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the Shadhinota Tower monument in Dhaka, and the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. For each project, the summary includes the location, key architects, concepts, forms, plans, and photographs of the sites. It then analyzes the standard requirements for various functional areas of an art gallery like parking, exhibition spaces, kitchens, washrooms, restaurants, libraries, and amphitheaters.

3. Angular Interaction-The Highline, New York City
Angular Interaction was designed as a park
for the public and also as a staircase to
connect to the Highline. The concept of the
park and staircase was derived from the
angle of the spur on the exsisting Highline.
Much like the spur creates a quiet space for
people to go, the angles of the landings in
the design create spaces for people to talk
and hang out. The design intent of the park
and staircase was to create spaces for
different activities while going up to the
pre-exsisting park that is the Highline. There
is a food venue and a TKTS ticket booth
included in the park.

In this 3D Diagram, it is shown what the landings are used for.
Each landing has a designated and interactive use that the visitor
experiences as they make their way up to the Highline. Each different
space has different angles based off of the spur.

5. Angular Interaction Plans
Angular Interaction has an assortment of
requirements. The first was an architectural
staircase to connect to the Highline. The
staircase in the back taking the visitor on a
scenic route up to the Highline. The next
requirement was a food venue and ticket
booth. These are kept close to the street in
order for visitors and pedestrians to use them.
There is also a staircase and elevator in the
back for quick and easy access to the High-
line. In the park, there is an eating area, under
the Highline, a water feature across the side
and back, and a private area in the back of the
park. Grass AreaEating Area

7. Serene Escape is a combination of a yoga studio and an art
market. It combines a the three main types of yoga; bikram,
vinyasa, and hatha and the three types of sculpture; relief,
assemblage, and “in the round” to form a multiuse building.
The concept of this building was taken from a combination
significant characteristics from the Oslo Opera House and the
Toledo Museum of Art Glass Pavilion. The unique design intent
of Serene Escape is the fact that the floors are glass in order for
light to filter through without the use of windows. The entire top
floor is glass and houses the hot yoga (bikram) creating a
greenhouse effect. The glass allows light to filter into the
middle courtyard/ sculpture garden.

9. Juxtaposition-New Jersey Institute of Technology, Newark, New Jersey
Juxtaposition is a canopy designed for the entrance of
the N.J.I.T. College of Architecture and Design
Entrance. The concept of the canopy was to take the
juxtaposing staircase and use it to make a canopy of
juxtaposing shapes. It is made of steel and glass.
The canopy is connected to the beam under the
second floor and the beam under the third floor. The
uniqueness of the canopy is the fact that it is made
up of sevem uniquely shaped pieces of glass that are
repeated throughout the whole of the canopy creating
a rhythm out of the canopy. For the drainage of
water, the glass is angled towards the street so the
water can fall off the canopy.

11. The Barcelona Pavilion was designed by Ludwig
Mies vane der Rohe for the barcelona International
Exhibition. Construction started in 1928 and it was
originally called the German Pavilion in Barcelona.
For the case study, I drew the plans and sections
and many diagrams to greater understand the
project. One of the most important elements of the
case study was analyzing the materials that were
used in the Barcelona Pavilion. Materials were
extremely important to Mies and directs the proj-
ect. The structural system was also important and
yet very simple.
The parti diagram was derived from 2
axises and each wall sit on an axis. The
parti also shows how the outer walls
form an enclosure around the
free-standing inner walls.

12. The Barcelona Pavilion sits on a site that is
291.58 acres. It is at the foot of the National
Museum of Catalonia and Montujulic. Even
though the site is rather large, the square footage
of the site, both enclosed and open spaces, is
9800 square feet. It was built to represent the
Weimar Republic of Germany at the time. The
Barcelona Pavilion was in Barcelona from
1928-1929 and torn down in 1930. However, in
1986, it was reconstructed because of the impact
it had on modern architecture.
Since the pavilion isn’t fully covered by a roof,
light is able to enter the building from above
where there is no roof and with the addition of a
skylight in the enclosed space. The roof also
casts a shadow on the areas that aren’t enclosed
with the roof.

13. These are the structure (bottom) and circulation (right)
diagrams of the Barcelona Pavilion. The pavilion has a
set circulation because the walls are laid out strategical-
ly to encourage un-selfconscious visitor’s movements.
The visitor enters from the stairs and then follows the
implied circulation route created by the partitions of the
structure. The main structural element is eight steel
columns holding up the roof slab. Since these pillars
exsist, there is no need for load-bearing walls. There is
also a grid system underlaid which helps as an underly-
ing framework of working systems of interior walls. Circulation Diagram

14. Materials are the leading component of the Barcelona
Pavilion. There is a select list of expensive materials
used including: onyx, marble, travertine, glass, steel,
and chrome. The material choices were extremely
important because the pavilion wasn’t built to house an
exhibit but was built to be an exhibit in itself. It also
housed the king and queen of France when they went
to the Barcelona International Exhibition. The most
commonly used material in the Barcelona Pavilion is the
Italian Travertine which covers the floors and the walls.

15. Stair Problem-Construction I Stair Project
The Stair Problem was a project for the class Con-
struction I. The staircase had to reach up to the
Highline and the drawings had to be drawn as if they
were being drawn for construction of a staircase.
Plans, Sections, and Elevations, were drawn and
labeled to show measurements and materials. Also,
details were drawn of different parts of the staircase.
These details were both hand drawn and computer
drawn. These drawings were very different than
architectural drawings because they had to be
labeled and very exact so that if hypothetically it was
constructed, it would be constructed correctly.

17. Viewing the Morris Canal-Boonton, New Jersey
Viewing the Morris Canal is a museum in Boonton,
New Jersey for the Morris Canal that used to run
through the town. The concept for the museum was
to create an area for the visitor to view where the
different aspects of the Morris Canal and where they
used to be in respect to Main Street in Boonton. That
is why the museum s on the second floor of the
building. On the ground floor, there is office space
and a temporary exhibit space to be used as an art
gallery. On the outside, there are two sculpture
gardens: one for the general public and onw for
people who have payed. There are also terraces in
the back for the public that connect to the sidewalk.

19. Viewing the Morris Canal Renderings
Even though the structural system in the museum is
steel, the outside is clad in wood and stone. There is
also a lot of glass used because of the concept of
viewing the canal. The structural system of columns,
beams, and trusses support the cantilevering second
floor which creates a canopy over the eating space.
Since it is a south facing building, there is much need
for a system to block out sunlight. To block sunlight,
louvers are placed on the windows on the second
floor.
