“Architecture is an art for all to learn because all are concerned

with it.” -John Ruskin

Page 3: Architecture

ARCHITECTUREBoth the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures.

Page 4: Architecture

ARCHITECTUREArchitectural works are often perceived as cultural

symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural

achievements.

“Architecture is the mastery, correct and magnificent play of masses brought

together in light” -

Le Corbusier

Page 7: Architecture

Architecture is……

Art of designing and constructing buildings and other types of structures. It is often referred t as “MOTHER OF THE ARTS” because it houses, serves as background for, or occurs in relation to other fields of art.[Sanchez, Abad, Jao. Introduction to Humanities. 2002]

Page 8: Architecture

Architecture is……

It is also by its definition functional. One of the primary purposes of architecture is to fulfil a need that led to its creation. Since the needs of different periods

in history varied, different architectural styles and characters evolved.

Page 9: Architecture

"Architecture" can mean:

• A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures.

• The art and science of designing buildings and (some) nonbuilding structures.

• The style of design and method of construction of buildings and other physical structures.

• The knowledge of art, science & technology and humanity.

Page 10: Architecture

"Architecture" can mean:

• The practice of the architect, where architecture means offering or rendering professional services in connection with the design and construction of buildings, or built environments.

• The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture).

Page 11: Architecture

Architecture, Painting, and Sculpture are called the FINE ARTS. They appeal to the eye as music

does to the ear. But architecture is not judged by visual appeal alone. Buildings affect all of the human senses – sound, smell, touch, taste, and

vision.”

–Forrest Wilson

Page 12: Architecture

The practice of architecture involves both the conception of an idea and its ultimate expression in building materials.

(G. Salvan)

“The act of creating Architecture is a problem solving or design process” (F.D.K. Ching)

Page 13: Architecture

The practice of Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimation and construction administration. Documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications,

defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.

Page 14: Architecture

Architect

A person who practices Architecture

A professional - practices architecture and is Registered and Licensed

Page 15: Architecture

Architecture also exists without necessary assistance from an architect; and architects

sometimes create buildings which are not architecture. (Norval White)

Architecture is developed by ordinary people, for ordinary people; therefore it should be easily comprehensible to all.

(Steen Eller Rasmussen)

Page 16: Architecture

“It became apparent to us that architecture is generally assumed to be a highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals rather than a sensual social art responsive to real human desires and feelings. This limitation is most frighteningly manifested in the reliance on two-

dimensional diagrams that lay more stresses on the quantifiable features of building organization than on the polychromatic and three-dimensional qualities of the whole architectural experience.”

-Kent Bloomer & Charles Moore

Page 17: Architecture

Theories and principlesApplied

in Architecture

Page 18: Architecture

Architecture depends on order, arrangement, eurhythmy, symmetry, propriety, and economy. All of these must be built with due reference to durability, convenience, and beauty.

Page 19: Architecture

Architecture is a complex subject. It will help our understanding to consider separately the four elements or aspects that constitute it. These are:

I. Human ConditionII. The Architectural RealityIII.The Architectural FormIV.The Architectural Meaning

Page 20: Architecture

The earliest surviving written work on the subject of architecture is De architectura, by the Roman architect Vitruvius in the early 1st century

AD.  According to Vitruvius, a good building should satisfy the three principles of:

FirmitasUtilitas

Venustas commonly known by the original translation

FirmnessCommodity

Delight

Page 21: Architecture

STYLEStyle must accommodate and express the function of the structure. It must also address the future, providing or adaptability and the capacity to survive the loss of its original function. It must also be able to provide for functions which are unknown at the moment of construction.

MATERIALSMaterials used in a building and the methods which are used

in assembling them are among the factors contributing to architectural style. Availability of materials is an important

factor in architecture. Durability and beauty are factors considered in the choice of materials.

PLANIs the beginning of a building. It is the foundation upon which the scheme of the structure rests. It relates various units to one another and the most important element of a volume.

“We should proceed from within to without.”

Page 22: Architecture

Architectural Design

The process of developing an idea to a point at which solution of the problem at hand.

Design must concern itself with both the practical and the aesthetic. If the resulting structure is to be satisfactory, the two must always be combined and not separated.

Page 23: Architecture

“Art is solving problems that cannot be formulated before they have been solved. The shaping of the question

is part of the answer.” (Piet Hein)

“Design is above all a wilful act, a purposeful endeavour.” (Ching)

Page 24: Architecture

Color The hue, intensity, and total value of a form’s surface;

Inherent or applied color caused by spectrum hues;The attribute that most clearly distinguishes a form fro its

environment

Psychology of colors

Color UsageCan be used functionally; can be used to maximize/minimize size

of objects; can be used to express architectural form

Red Yellow Orange

Brown Gray

White Purple

Blue Green

Page 25: Architecture

Architectureform.space.order

Form – primary identifying characteristic of a volume; determined by shape and interrelationships of planes that describe boundaries of the volume

Primary Elements: point. line. plane. VolumeProperties: shape. size. color. texture. position. orientation. visual inertia

Page 26: Architecture

Architectureform.space.order

Form ………………………identifies SPACE

Any three dimensional form naturally articulates the volume of space surrounding it and generates a field of influence/territory which it claims as its own.Spatial Relationships: Space within a space. Interlocking space.

Adjacent space. Spaces linked by common space

Page 27: Architecture

Architectureform.space.order

Oder………………. through Proportion and Scale

Proportion. Proper or harmonious relation of one part to another or to a whole

Scale. Size of something compared to a reference standard or to the size of something else

Theories of Proportion: Golden Section. Classical Orders. Renaissance Theories. Modulor. Ken. Anthropometry. Scale

Beginnings of architecture must be placed within the

Neolithic Age and the New Stone Age (8000-3000 BC)

Neolithic Revolution = Industrial Revolution of our age

Transition from food gathering to food production

Brought about perhaps the most significant transformation of the human condition and

made possible the achievements that followed --- including Architecture

Megalithic Architecture

• 3500 BCE – man has developed a form of architecture based on megaliths probably intended for burial ritual

• Megalith – large standing stone; an enormous stone usually standing upright or forming a part of a prehistoric structure

• Carnac, Brittany, France – where the largest number of megaliths can be found. More than 3000 are found there dating back to the period between 5000-10000 BC

High Tech- Also known as Late Modernism or Structural

Expressionism - Emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-

tech industry and technology into building design - This category serves as a bridge between modernism

and post-modernism- 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

Deconstructivism- a development of postmodern architecture that

began in the late 1980s influenced by the theory of "Deconstruction“

- characterized by fragmentation, an interest in manipulating a structure's surface, skin, non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope

- visual appearance of buildings is characterized by unpredictability and controlled chaos

Organic Architecture- Chief proponent is Frank Lloyd Wright- Follows a principle that a building should be

developed out of its natural sorroundings - Philosophy of architecture which promotes

harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design approaches so sympathetic and well integrated with its site, that buildings, furnishings, and surroundings become part of a unified, interrelated composition.

Islamic Architecture- Product of the rapid conquest of diverse territories by a people with

no architectural tradition- Synthesis of styles under one philosophy but in many different

circumstances

Character: - Decorations tend toward the abstract, using geometric, calligraphic

and plant motifs, with a preference for a uniform field of decoration rather than a focal element

- Symmetry and balance (as in the concept of perfect creation)- Centered upon God- Related to a principal axis, the kibla, pointing towards Mecca
