He explores instances of heroic, complex, and transformative architecture and how other scholars have failed in their analysis. He does a fairly good job defining the terms he uses for each section, but does little to connect the three, making it difficult to decipher a cohesive aim of the…

The design by Mies Van Der Rohe’s TD Center was one of the most conspicuous arrangements of office towers in Toronto. It not only raised the standards of design throughout Canada, but also influenced every project that followed in the surrounding neighborhood. The Toronto Dominion Bank Tower was erected in 1967 costing 65 million dollars, with a height of 56 stories and over 1.3 million square feet of office space. The completion of the tower can be credited as a historic precursor of the development of Toronto’s financial district, which also launched competition and architectural rivalry among the big banks. Leading by the design of Mies Van der Rohe’s Toronto Dominion Centre in 1967, Toronto has become a city resplendent with post-modern…

All the key developments in reinforced concrete buildings in that time have contributed in the design and construction of Ingalls Building. Richard W. Steiger defined the Ingalls Building, ‘These developments included heavy monolithic beam-and-slab construction with tension reinforcing, two-way reinforcing systems, and bent bars and stirrups. Also used were hoops and continuous helixes for compression members.’ Concrete was used as an ideal material because of concrete’s load-bearing capacity and structural properties.…
Before the mid-twentieth century, museums in Europe and the United States were generally planned in variations of the neo classical style. But, the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao moved the heading of gallery outlines, which gave an extensive show venue to twentieth century and contemporary art, designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, Architecture is important nowadays to the public, because it offers a physical surrounding environment in where we live in. Moreover, architecture is not only affected by the culture, but also by the economy of the country. Frank Gehry is one of the handful modern architects that are worldwide known by his inventive and pioneering work. The American Canadian architect was born Frank Owen Goldberg in Toronto,…
Assignment 1 Camilla Sitte is an Austrian city Planner and Architect. He had a great influences on the development of the urban construction , regulation on Europe. Sitte work demonstrates his understand of what he considered important in designing and how the language of a building should be greatly influed by the space in which to observe the building as they were intended to be apprepicated. His set rules to a successful modern planning always ensured that you enclose the public space in such a way as to restrict view out so the the façade of the building act like the backdrop and building is placed openly so it can be viewed from different angles.

D.4) , New York, is a structure of impeccable example to “form follows function” - Louis Sullivan. It is from utility that beauty is a result in its concepts. The distinctive triangular shape of the Flatiron Building, designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham and built in 1902, allowed it to fill the wedge-shaped property located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway (History.com, 2010). As this divided the street in its placement, it allowed the efficient arrangement of space by its division of the neighboring streets.…
This essay will analyse Le Corbusier’s The Radiant City (La Ville Radieuse) by looking at the unbuilt city scape’s historical, theoretical and philosophical background as well as how it was received and reviewed. Greenhalgh’s features of the Pioneer phase (such as Social Morality, Technology and Anti-historicism) will also be looked at in relation to how and why The Radiant City was conceptualised and designed. As the idea of The Radiant City was conceived in the 1930s (and by Modernist architect and artist Le Corbusier) it is fits in the time frame of Modernism and therefore by looking at the principles of Modernism it can be determined whether or not The Radiant City is reflective of the Modernist ideals.…
Introduction This essay seeks to analyse the theoretical reasoning behind Louis Kahn’s approach towards non-details in his built work based on the definition of details as set out by Edward R. Ford in his publication, “The Architectural Detail.” and how it can be adapted to suit the design strategies of a multi-generation apartment. Detail is defined as “attention to or treatment of a subject in individual or minute parts”. The architectural detail starts off as a constructive or technical problem, but the detail can and should be able to indicate the architect’s design intent.…
Architecture in East Asia has been profoundly affected by globalization. Since 1980s, because of the deregulation of the London market, the company of architectural practice has followed the same pattern as other business organizations, created the “building boom” and attracted the American’s investors and architects. The well-established corporations in America started to open the branch in London; subsequently they expanded branch office rapidly in the other global regions. “The liberalization of trading led to expansion of international architectural practice” (Adam, 2012, P89). As the result of this, international firms became large scaled, gained sufficient funding and had advanced technology of construction.…

Within the perspective of an analytical and intellectual framework, architecture represents dwelling, subjectivity, civic relations, and professional practice as well as more challenging notions of contentious urban demolition and rebuilding projects, increased emphasis on public space in urban planning, and specialized architectural projects such as museums, laboratories, hospitals, and low-income housing. These concepts and the consequences of their implementation integrates the ethical dimension of architecture with the current professional practice controversies. The…
