Slick Tech Architecture Or High Tech
Architecture
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. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish
from post-modern architecture. Many of its themes and ideas were
absorbed into the language of the post-modern architectural schools.
Like Brutalism, Structural Expressionist buildings reveal their structure on
the outside as well as the inside, but with visual emphasis placed on the
internal steel and/or concrete skeletal structure as opposed to exterior
concrete walls. High-tech buildings are often called machine-like. Steel, aluminum, and
glass combine with brightly colored braces, girders, and beams. Many of the building parts are prefabricated in a factory and assembled later. The
support beams, duct work, and other functional elements are placed on the
exterior of the building, where they become the focus of attention. The
interior spaces are open and adaptable for many uses.

2.CELEBRATION OF PROCESS With the emphasis on constructon logic how, why,& what”of the building its joists,rivets ,flanges & ducts,there is an intellectual clarity which is pleasing for the very soul. The celebration of process often extends to things that are seen to work the mechanical plant and travelling crane are as omnipresent as the pediment & as the key stone are in classical architecture .
3.TRANSPERANCY,LAYERING, & MOVEMENT
These three asthetic qualities almost without exception,extensive use of transulant & transperent glass, a layering of ducts, stairs and structure and the accentutaion of moving escalators and elevators characterise the high-tech buiding.

of Structures and services are distinguished and allowed them to be easily
understood and effectively used.
5. A LIGHT WEIGHT FILIGREE OF TENSILE MEMBERS Light weight material used for the ornamentation of the building like the glass cover with steel frame.
6.OPMISTIC CONFIDENCE IN A SCIENTIFIC CULTURE:- This results more in a method of working and attitude towards material, colours, and inventions than a compositional principle.

INTRODUCTION Pritzker Prize-winning British architect N orman
F oster is famous for "High Tech" design that explores technological shapes and ideas.
BORN June 1, 1935 in Manchester, England EARLY LIFE OF FOSTER B orn in a working class family, Norman Foster did not seem likely to become a famous architect. Although he was a good student in high school and showed an early interest in architecture, he did not enroll in college until he was 21 years old. Foster won numerous scholarships during his years at Manchester University, including one to attend Yale University in the United States. 6 L

HIS PARTNERSHIP
A t the beginning of his career, F oster worked as a member of the successful "Team 4" firm with his wife, Wendy F oster, and
the husband and wife team of R ichard R ogers and Sue R ogers. His own firm, Foster Associates, was founded in L ondon in
1967.
FOSTER AND ARCHITECTURE F oster Associates became known for "High Tech" design that explored technological shapes and ideas. In his work, Sir
Norman F oster often uses off-site manufactured parts and
the repetition of modular elements.

LONDON CITY HALL,LONDON Architect - Norman foster Location - Southwark , london , england Completed - 2002 Style - High-tech modren

City hall is the headquarters of the G R E AT E R L O N D O N
A U T H O R IT Y ( G L A ). It is located in southwark, on the
south bank of the river thames near tower bridge.
It was designed by norman foster and opened in july 2002.
The G L A is located in an area needing the redevelopment, and with such a location, the government was able to claim
their part in the regeneration process. The design of this
building is also one that provided a symbolic break from
the past. Contrary to some believe, the London Authority doesn’t actually own the G L A . THE ASSEMBLY CHAMBER HOUSES the 25 elected members
of the L ondon Assembly as well as the offices of the mayor and the staff of the Greater L ondon A uthority. 6 L

ORIENTATION: To further improved the shape and
performance of this building the sphere shape was
skewed to more of an egg shape that leans South
blocking the direct sunlight with it’s own shape.
SHADING: The egg shape is in itself a strategy for passive design. The South side of the building leans back
so the floor-plates step out over the windows below each
other providing shade for the naturally ventilated offices.

CENTURY TOWER, JAPAN A rchitect: N orman F oster Year: 1987 To 1991 L ocation: Bunkyo-ku-tokyo, Japan Building Type: Commercial And Office Building.
F or the first time in Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank, century tower is not a corporate headquarters, but a
prestige office block with a wide range of services, including a fitness center and a museum. The
program is very specific and gave great freedom with
respect to the image that the work would be needed
to meet the agenda of the functional requirements
and the strict rule that exists to build in central Tokyo.
The building is located in Bunkyo-ku, in the heart of Tokyo, it occupies a
site subject to complex zoning regulations due to be at the heart of the city. Mainly the building has two well-marked contrast, the urban and the
Riverine, on the north side the building looks against a highly
homogeneous compared completely urban only interrupted by the Hongo

STRUCTURE AND MATERIALS
The building is founded on rollers that are designed to withstand an
earthquake correctly to the steel structure is independent of using this
style of structural expressionism because at all times the structure is visible.
The exterior is solved with a curtain wall, while
the predominant material inside the glass walls
and some ceilings, steel structure, the black
granite is used in places where it occurs the water and wood is present in some doors and divisions.
SPACES The response to the project was the design of the tower in two blocks, nineteen to twenty stories high, connected by a narrow atrium. The outer shape of the blocks is defined by the eccentrically braced
frames, in response to the needs of earthquake engineering in a city where
earthquakes and typhoons are very real threats. Inside the floors are double height spaces with mezzanines suspended
between them, allowing office space free of columns and enjoy natural light and views.
The main entrance is located
on the south side of the
building on A venue 405, on

CREATOR’S WORD
"Buildings are not idiosyncratic private institutions: they give public
performances both to the user and the passerby. Thus the architect's
responsibility must go beyond the client's program and into the
broader public realm. Though the client's program offers the
architect a point of departure, it must be questioned, as the
architectural solution lies in the complex and often contradictory
interpretation of the needs of the individual, the institution, the
place and history. The recognition of history as a principle
constituent of the program and an ultimate model of legitimacy is a
radical addition to the theories of the Modern Movement." 6 LE

The building was innovative in having its
services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the
outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside.
The building consists of three main towers
and three service towers around a central, rectangular space. Its focal point is the large
underwriting room on the ground floor, which houses the famous lutine bell.
On the ground floor of the atrium sits the
Lu tine B ell, salvaged from the F rench frigate
L a Lu tine which surrendered to the British in
1793. The bell is rung once for good news
and twice for bad, and the expansive atrium
carries the sound to everyone in the building.

Ieoh Ming Pei (born April 26, 1917), commonly known as I. M. Pei, is an Chinese architect, often called a master of modern
architect Born in Canton,China and raised in Hong Kong and Shanghai, Pei drew inspiration at an early age from the
gardens at Suzhou. In 1935 he moved to the United States and
enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania's architecture school, but quickly transferred to the M.I.T. He was unhappy with the
focus at both schools on Beaux Arts School, and spent his free
time researching the emerging architects, especially Le Corbusier.
EARLY LIFE AND CARRER OF PIE:-
As Pei neared the end of his secondary education, he decided to study at an overseas
university. He was accepted to a number of schools, but decided to enroll at the .Pei's
choice had two roots. While studying in Shanghai, he had closely examined the
catalogs for various institutions of higher learning around the world. The architectural program at the University of Pennsylvania stood out to him.
