Robert Adam was one of the most important British architects, he transformed Palladian Neoclassicism in England into the airy, light, elegant style, his main force was the harmony between his design elements that extended beyond architecture and interiors to include both the fixed and moveable objects, his style was influenced by classical designs but he coupled this with his study of other styles such as the Italian Renaissance and didn’t follow them strictly the way Palladianism did.…
“Stollerize” their buildings for his photographical technique to manifest in their architecture. Stoller’s iconic images are typically shot in crisp black-and-white to extensively define modernist architecture (in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s) and reduce the subjects to their geometric essentials. This is accompanied with the expressive massive thanks to the profound use of shadows and light to carve out the interior and exterior components that create buildings. The…
Dictionary of Architecture and Construction Organic Architecture is a style that aims to be in unison with the environment. It strives to be in harmony with nature; not dominate and destroy it. This architectural style seeks to blend in with its environment, to appear as if the house has ‘grown’ with nature itself. Unlike other design eras, buildings that are influenced by this style will not look out of place or disrupt the peace of its surrounding. Demonstrating in the name ‘Organic…
Ornament, in regards to architecture, is defined as an addition to a design that improves appearance, but has no specific need or purpose. This is often expressed in the form of faux beams, shutters that do not move, excess detailing or embellishment on columns, and so on and so forth. “To ornament or to not ornament” is a common discussion within the design world. Adolf Loos, Reyner Banham, and Joseph Rykwert are three famous architects that published works discussing their opinions on ornament…
idea of how architecture promotes complexity and refers to it as an art. The art is in the process of construction and thinking when it comes to designing. He also expressed how he is against rationalization and rejecting complexity in architecture. I think he points out an interesting view when he says "I am for messy vitality over obvious unity", what I understand and find interesting about this is the idea of preferring the non-obvious over the simple, straightforward architecture. In my…
history of the world and the “greatest modern architect in American history” according to the American Institute of Architects. The quote above just shows how much he thought architecture could change the world and how he wanted people to see his architecture. Wright was not only an American architect, he was also an interior designer, writer and educator. He designed over 1000 structures of which 532 were built, however he was never famous amongst his peers or the public in America during his…
your response. The style that speaks the most to me is Modernism. I like the modern architecture because it is a reflection of the great technical innovations that began to appear in the nineteenth century. Materials such as steel and concrete give architects unreleased possibilities of creation, which makes the style completely unlike anything have seen. What best characterizes and makes me like modern architecture is the utilization of simples shapes, geometrical forms, and the lacking of…
Ever since I was young, I have always loved houses from interior to exterior and even structurally with floor plans. In third grade, I decided I wanted to be an interior designer and it was not until last year, my junior year in high school, that I figured out it would not be the best job field for me. I decided not to follow my dream job, because I would like to stay…
the building, which can directly lead to the square of the little town. Vanna Venturi house is full of complexity and contradiction. This feather is reflected not only in the interior and exterior, but also in the relationship between interior and exterior of the house. Firstly, it is both complex and simple. For the interior, the fireplace/chimney and the stair, which are two vertical elements compete for a central position. What’s more, one of these elements is entirely solid, the other…
