Abstract This paper describes the role of architecture in various urban settings through the scope of architectural design and discusses functionality from a different point of views. Since the modernist movement in architecture early 1900s and the building design has been focusing on expressing itself as a unique entity as an architecture piece more than an art. Buildings are now more expressive than any era of the history of architecture. They have also reduced …show more content…

Focuses on a generation of artists who can no longer follow the modernist dictum "form follows function"; as our model of reality becomes more layered and less concrete, that directs the inevitably that form follows fiction. Some fashion designers. The development of new models of contemporary reality defines that sometimes fictional as a real fact to make the form. (Deitch, 2002)
1.1.3 Deconstructivism In the 1980’s a new tendency was born: the deconstruction, which was also called “new modern architecture” in its beginning. It was meant to replace the postmodernism. A very significant difference of this style is that it started rather from an intellectual movement than from a significant building marking it’s beginning. The new slogan was “form follows fantasy” analogous to the tradition formula pronounced by Sullivan “form follows function”. an exposition been organized In 1988 by Philip Johnson which called “Deconstructive Architecture” which finally brought these ideas to a larger audience. It is characterized by fragmentation, skin, non-rectilinear shapes which appear to distort and dislocate elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. Deconstructivists were influenced by the ideas of the French philosopher Jacques …show more content…

After all, what is architecture without functionality? It must be responsible at the very least to its immediate context and inhabitants. Environmentally responsible in one-way or another. The exploration of emotional experience does not itself have to become a histrionic scene, but it can be in fact a rational, civilized exercise. Despite the fact that both Zaha Hadid and Lady Gaga have a lot of critics, yet they have their own tremendous audience which making them keep moving forward and thrive. However, most of Zaha Hadid buildings are amazingly formed, yet it lacks a lot of functionality and also the harmony with the urban

History is filled with different movements throughout different time periods, but do these movements affect design and if so, how do they affect design? In this essay different kettles throughout different time periods will be compared to see if these movements do play a role in design. From the second half of the 19th century till today, the ideals of modernism have been debated. Although traces of modernism can be seen everywhere in society today, it has not always been this way. Modernism is the one language that designers of the 19th and 20th century have been looking for.

A civilization’s architecture not only shows the artistic skills of its designers and builders but also the functionality of its engineers, the power of its government, and the inventiveness of its people. Architecture was a crucial element to the success of two major cites in Europe, Rome and Athens. Each city had structures consisting of formal architecture like temples and basilicas showing the influence that its leaders had over each city, while utilitarian buildings like bridges and aqueducts helped build communication between distant cities throughout each empire. Though architecture as a whole was an important role in unifying the cities, the architecture design within each illustrates the similarities and differences between two.

Due to strong advances within technology, modernism began to break through at the end of the 19th century into the beginning to the 20th century. The modern movement came as a result of the industrial revolution and urbanisation caused by westernised society which began to develop new ways to shape human culture and improve the constructed environment. Within this shaping, modernism covered many creative disciplines from art and design to influencing architecture, music and the idea of conceptual and well thought through design. One could argue that the biggest influence modernism had on the world is the impact it had on the way designers comply with social needs and present these needs through visual communication. 1.

Tectonics is defined as the science or art of construction, both in relation to use and artistic design. It refers not just to the activity of making the materially requisite construction that answers certain needs but rather to the activity that raises this construction as an art form. It is concerned with the modeling of material to bring the material into presence - from the physical into the meta-physical world (Maulden, 1986). Since tectonics is primarily concerned with the making of architecture in a modern world, its value is seen as being a partial strategy for an architecture rooted in time and place therefore beginning to bring poetry in construction. Tectonics, however, has the capacity to create depth-ness of context resulting in the implicit story being told by the tectonic expression.

1. Introduction Writing about a living phenomenon is a complicated effort especially when realizing it is a dynamic, changeable and heterogeneous structure. This happens when we try to study contemporary practices today, in postmodern era, which is definitely a special expression of specific moment. If Modernism, among others, tried to enforce authority, postmodernism brought anarchy. Many things found today in postmodernism can be traced back, transformed of course, in the main modern flows; dadaism, futurism, surrealism.

The French Revolution was undoubtedly influenced by the political theorists of the Enlightenment. The ideas of two French political theorists in particular are easily seen throughout the French Revolution, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Baron Montesquieu. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thoughts and texts, such as the Social Contract, instilled the entitlement of basic human rights to all men. Rousseau’s concepts on rights combined with Baron Montesquieu’s ideas on government provided the backbone of a radical movement in the French Revolution known as the Terror. When one delves into the beginnings of the French Revolution, the motives and actions of the National Assembly, and the Terror of the French Revolution, one can obviously see the influence of two Enlightenment political theorists, Rousseau and Montesquieu.

2.4 Experiential Architecture Sensorial Experiences While the importance of a sensory rich environment is obvious to most, in contemporary designs, attention to the senses is usually limited to sacred spaces. While they play just as important a role in everyday spaces, they are often left out of design considerations. Touch, smell, and other sensations are key in what we call experience. They are the receptors with which we move through and understand space.
