exterior spaces and interior spaces in buildings. It explains the use of double skin façade. The smart façade unit was installed at the college of architecture building in Georgia institute of technology as a study model. There are three important elements for using the double-skin system: energy use, visual comfort, and thermal comfort.
a kind of quality for his poetry, painting, and architecture. An artistic talent that became memorable through making his new ideology create a form of originality. Although till today Michelangelo's architecture is not fully understood, "His architectural designs were uncommon and are best shown in his involvement as a sculptor and painter." (Brothers, Cammy 2008:3) A favourite that shows his unique ability towards architecture is the Laurentian Library and its amazing entrance that reveals the

cathedral began in the seventeenth century and was born in France, Over 580 Gothic & cathedrals class churches were built and constructed between 1170 to 1270; they were often large enough to house the entire population of the town. Two dominant architectural designs and styles emerged Romanesque and Gothic; there were differences and some similarities between the two. If the Romanesque church constituted a rural retreat for monastics and pilgrims, the Gothic cathedral served as the focal point for
Behind every architectural work there is an architect, whether the architect is one man or woman, a small group, or an entire people. The structure created by any of these architects conveys a message about the architect: their culture, their identity, their struggles. Because of the human element architects offer to their work not just a building is made, but a work of art, a symbol of a people, a representation, is also created. “The history of the world’s great architecture is the astonishing
role in architectural design. Nature is simple, organic, and appealing to all. There are set rules in which nature has always followed. Because plants, water, earth, and other natural elements always follow these rules, their natural symmetry and stature are considered attractive. Why would any designer or artist choose to ignore these rules that have been followed by unarguably beautiful artwork? Marc-Antoine Laugier also believes nature is a very important factor when designing architectural structures
their work and thus indicates the values and idea is of each nation is also different. This will be done through examine the education path they went through, their idea of primitivism and classical architecture as well as how some of their major architectural work such as Dulwich picture gallery, Bank of England for Soane and Dresden Art Gallery, Art History Museum and Dresden Opera House for Semper to reflect their design style. Soane and Semper underwent dissimilar educational path in becoming
itself with numerous museums to catalog countless masterpieces and sculptures throughout France’s enduring, yet sometimes gritty, history. As a whole, Paris comprises of a mixture between historic architectural themes like rusticated brick clad, mansard roofs, striated columns, and a modern day architectural themes like engineered metalwork, and external program support machinery. The notion of classic French architecture, juxtaposed to modern French architecture, creates unsettled opinions about the
historical time line thus far. It begs the question though, does it work as an architectural treasure of Northern Ireland or is it a reaction to turbulent periods in Belfast’s history. Within this critique it is hoped that it can be proven that this museum has gone from a prestigious neoclassical style building standing alone on the southern edge of the botanic garden, to an embracing contextural architectural element that is trying to make a correlation with is surroundings. It’s this embrace of
With the interaction between the development of computational approaches in architecture and the contemporary forms of spatial design intelligence, some new architectural design theories emerged to make differences between architects and control designing processes. These theories are almost employed in all designing realms, from architecture to urban design to provide fields of ideas and solutions that privilege by complexity. Most of these theories are oriented to relay on understanding and using
Coffered ceilings are an option to add visual and architectural interest and instant personality to any space, no matter a large or a smaller one. Actually, coffers are repeated sunken panels, usually yet not necessarily square or rectangular, trimmed with boxed beams. This ceiling treatment, which can be traced back in architectural history to ancient Rome, was reinvented by the 1800s. Whether using wood, including reclaimed panels and beams, drywall, plaster, tin tiles, moldings, hand-painted
experimental, modern ideas, reinforcing the idea that aesthetic beauty is absolutely timeless. The early 20th century saw a great deal of influence in terms of classical design. A classical revival had brought a return of emphasis on Palladian architectural motifs, which could be seen in large cities throughout the world, but especially in New York and Boston. In terms of interior design, Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman advocated a similar classical revival, which gave a sense of classical order to
admirers of neo-Gothic styles wanted to revive medieval Gothic architecture, Gothic Revival Architecture was created—along with many sub styles, such as Polychrome Brick Gothic and Carpenter Gothic in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All architectural styles have different characteristics. Gothic Revival Architecture has its own characteristics that make it unique to other styles. According to Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, “Gothic Revival style is part of...picturesque and
Architectural design Architectural Design (AD) was first launched in 1930 in the UK as its architectural based journal. By then it was just a British scene which thereafter spread and became international. Architecture has then taken great revolution from time to time. There are several Current Trends in Architectural Designs which have taken place since its launch (Anderson, 2011). Architecture is dependent on current trends. It was comparable with any other form of art, whether it is music, fashion
Similarly, H.H. Richardson applied his own style toward his Trinity Church located in Boston. Upjohn and Richardson were both influenced by the architectural styles that originated before them. These styles laid the foundation for their design aesthetics; as well as reasoning, making them influential in religious communities throughout the architectural scene that was taking place in the United States at the time. Upjohn’s essays dealing with the Romanesque style was part of the movement which primed
The planar monochromatic, symmetrical, planar facades11 seen in both libraries are one of the key elements that I have adapted to fit the exterior of my building. While there is a slight protrusion of the entrance, all sides of my design remain planar with only minor exceptions for ornamentation. The protrusion of the entrance was done so that the door
into the architectural expression his buildings, not just as structural elements. The concepts that Labrouste explored through his buildings can be traced through history to the high-rises in the United States of America. Labrouste became a leading architect of the nineteenth century because of his revolutionary ideas and scrutinization of orthodox French architecture theories. The inspiration that Labrouste drew from his early years in Italy lead to the rise of a new concept of architectural composition
analytical skills by writing formal analyses of art pieces in which I interpret many elements such as culture and history and address them to the theme of the art piece. Architects use these methods in their designing process as well to make tremendous designs and buildings. Studying Advanced Mathematics, I have developed problem-solving skills and become skilled at tackling mechanics problems which are crucial to architectural engineering, where calculating factors like the force needed to support a structure
Aesthetics Should Never Take Precedence Over Function From the early Greek temples of yesteryear, to the high-tech autonomous buildings of tomorrow, the question of whether the function of a building or its aesthetics qualities are more important has plagued the minds of architects around the world. Webster's II New College Dictionary (Please do not use the encyclopedia or the dictionary to open your essay--way too high school.) defines aesthetics as "The branch of philosophy that provides a
After centuries of war, regime changes, and revolutions, eighteenth century Europe was reestablishing national boundaries and was seeking national pride in each country. One way European nations built this pride was through the search for national styles of architecture. By the early nineteenth century, two attitudes about finding a national, historical style arose, pluralism and revivalism. Those with a pluralist view believed that it is appropriate to build contemporary cities using different styles
