“The history of the world’s great architecture is the astonishing story of how individuals and groups have taken that basic necessity of building and transformed it into possibly the greatest manifestation of the human spirit—more profound, more lasting, more inexhaustible than any other art, a vital and truly wonderful expression of the experience of mankind, in every part of the world (Nuttgens 9).” As Nuttgens eloquently expressed, architecture is a “vital…expression of the experience
Atmosphere and the concrete practice of building Everyday experience tells us that different actions need different environments to take place in a satisfactory way. This fact is of course taken into consideration by current theory of planning and architecture, but so far the problem has been treated in a too abstract way. ‘Taking place’ is usually understood in a quantitative, functional sense with implications such as spatial distribution and dimensioning. But inter-human functions are not similar
Through the study of language in architecture, meaning is derived from signs and signifiers of which the human mind associates with programmatic identity, contributing to the viewer’s ability to interpret the thought and design process behind a buildings form, planning and aesthetic features .

dislike the design and construction can commence. Lastly, the construction drawings are for the architect to communicate to the builders who will construct the design, without these the buildings could never be stably completed, at least in modern architecture. Since the late 18th century architectural drawings have been prized and purchased by collectors and then maximised their prosperity by exhibiting them as works of art.

1925, Brancusi, Constantin, Romanian, Bird in Space TXT: “From the 1920s to the 1940s, the theme of a bird in flight preoccupied Brancusi. He concentrated on the animal’s movement, rather than their physical attributes. In Bird in Space, the sculptor eliminated wings and feathers, elongated the swell of the body, and reduced the head and beak to a slanted oval plane. Balanced on a slender conical footing, the figure’s upward thrust appears unfettered. This sculpture is part of a series that includes

A poetic architecture looks into a moment when architecture surpasses itself as a physical structure, and instead when it becomes more than just a physical space. Le Corbusier’s church Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, built between 1950-55 was one of Le Corbusier’s poetic architecture to date. This building was one of his dramatically sculptural designs compared to his earlier works. Although his earlier buildings were very rational in design, Le Corbusier was never completely a materialist, but he
In Kenneth Frampton’s Rappel a L’ordre, the Case for the Tectonic, he reinterprets modern architecture “through the lens of techne.” Techne can be traced back to its Greek origins, which embodied the ideas of art, craft and skill in the making of an object. Techne came to be tied with the materiality and construction methods used in buildings. Technology then came to refer to the making and using of tools and the methods to solve a problem. Implicit in the word “technology” is the act of construction
time period in which it was built. It allows a glimpse into the past or a peek into the future. For the designer or architect, it is an expression of what inspires them.
