Whose architecture is known and described as New Brutalism? What is the New Brutalism design style?
#Alison and Peter Smithson New Brutalism: rejecting safe, pretty, orthodox modernism e.g you can't just drop a white box and expect it to work. For an archi to operate efficiently, you need to look at the urban context, the local culture, and material. Each region differs from another. Admiring everyday, ordinary and the ugly celebrating materials used in their raw state
Who was practicing in Finland at the time of MoMA exhibition?
#Alvar Aalto
What is the name of the British counterpart to Metabolism? What did they respond to?
#Archigram they responded to the urban sprawl and urban congestion. Modernism forgot futuristic approach so Archigam tried to answer it. They were also conscious of the need for new types of buildings to respond to over population. They wanted to create an alternative lifestyle. Their projects were dominated by a consumerists approach: once something becomes unusable, you throw it out and get a new one. Trying to consider the alternative architecture, ideas remained on paper Authority of architecture is eliminated. architecture no longer dictates the form of the building, but the user becomes the centre of the design and they decide the shape and use of the dwelling. Form: ever-changing.

Architecturally speaking Aldo van Eyck had an interest in clusters. What project demonstrates this? how did his interest in anthropology inspire him?
#Municipal Orphanage -a cluster of buildings in irregular zigzag forms -zigzag pathways , no straight corridors. -Attention to unpredictable encounters and movement of people between units -creating a sense of community housing 125 children & 8 families -bringing contradictory elements together: a bridge between classicism and anti-classicism/ form and function interested in anthropology -looking at vernacular settlements tied to climate, topography and use of local materials. -no hierarchy between the organization of settlements These concepts were incorporated into his contemporary projects e.g Part Whole relationship house os a tiny city. but despite scale, each is individual but also has a connection to wider community
What design movement is key to bringing the relevance of regional differences to the language of modern architecture? What 3 characteristics did it show?
#New Brutalism: According to Reyner Banham, their architecture was characterized by -the formal legibility of the plan form of the building is a complete translation of the plan -honest use of materials Material = raw. not coated by another material -Structure exposed: Clear exhibition or expression of a building's structure and services structure of building is exposed, not concealed or hidden

When the tubes become out of use, it can be thrown out and replaced -collectivity: made of interchangeable apartment units -Dense: multipurpose environment -Everchanging: aesthetic of incompleteness, continuously changing form as more tubes plugged in or out. Give authority to the user Purpose of changeability was to not care about looks but the comfort of the user. The architect has no control over the megastructure.
What was Wrights early work? What was its characteristics?
#Prairie School Style Architecture In his prairie houses Wright employed new construction technology (cantilever in the Robbie and Kaufmann houses) whilst still insisting on the ultimate authority of expressing traditional materials usually marked by -emphasis on nature, craftsmanship and simplicity -strong emphasis on horizontality (via windows) contrasted with vertical chimneys -flat or hipped roofs with overhanging eaves, -an honest expression of materials -open plan -solid construction, -craftsmanship, -restraint in the use of decoration. -its integration with the surrounding landscape, This idea of a buildings psychological rooting to the landscape coined the term "Usonia"

#Walter Gropius Bauhaus was a German school of applied art/ architecture initially inspired by arts and crafts and how sudents should be able to understand how to carve wood and deal with metal. But after Theo Van Doesburg's arrival, he changed direction to make art production relevant to the growing industry. Designers don't need to master the skill but give their ideas to the machine and the machine will execute and mass produce. Moved focus to design for industrial production and modernism.
What Louis kahn project captured the idea that monumental ideas can express the idea of human coming together?
#research laboratory -respects human institutions -believed in ability to give physical and emotional presence -encourages human encounters -limited materials used in an honest way.

In Netherlands what was the two opposing movements that embraced modernisation and were against historicism?
Amsterdam School -looking at local materials: movement characterised by the use of red bricks -more personal and individualistic designs De Stijl -rationalistic and impersonal #Schroder House consists of a series of sliding planes no curves, no symmetry, a dynamic asymmetry with orthogonal geometry Fluid spaces that are not captured or constrained by rooms, but the spaces flow into each other. Using planes to design spaces Emphasis on machine imagery. How the architectural space operates
What does the works of Albert Speer demonstrate? What work demonstrates this?
An architecture that embraced nationalism #Zeppelinfield Architecture starts make people feel/ believe specific ways eg make them feel small bold, monumental, classicim, massive scale housed the allies of Nazi heavy symbolism rich materials theatrical design: creates an atmosphere

Why did archigram criticise modern archi?
Archigram was a reminder that modernism had lost its technological nerve. Futuristic vision of dissociating with the past is forgotten and modernism has fallen into the same categorization in having its own style. Broadly, it contended that architecture should not create fixed volumes of space to be mutely inhabited, less still shaped masses of masonry, but must provide the equipment for "living," for "being."
Why was art nouveau abandoning historic styles?
Art Nouveau was initially an interior decoration convention and the name of the shop that was selling handicraft objects. It was concerned with abandoning revivalists and historic styles, "rejection of the past" It was derived from abstraction of nature and as a result we see organic forms and sinuous lines Material: the use of iron as a decorative element in the buildings facade. Initially architects were resistant to use iron as it was a light weightless material and not expressing the idea of stability and firmness

Why was this exhibition influential?
Captures/ summarised the key characteristics of this new type of architecture that was emerging, which they called the "international style" Important exhibition because it brought modern architecture to the US
What are the new materials that emerged?
Cast (compression)/ wrought iron (tension) and steel development These new materials were pushed forward in ambitious structures by engineers in projects such as bridges, towers, factories technical advancement and new building types due to industrial revolution led to new building types
8. how did modern archi emerge in China? Modern architecture in China can be associated with these two moments, the Chinese archi changing points? (date, name)
China, like most traditional countries, had a thousand years of continuity. As each dynasty appears, the style of archi grows from the previous and there is no break between them #1911- revolution thousands of years of rulership by dynasties came to an end with the revolution of 1911 when the Republic of China was created. #1949-communism introduced Modernisim in China Both of these revolutions paved the way for a break from previous styles. New technologies were embraced because they facilitate the need to construct urban infrastructures such as railways, factories
Can Scarpa be considered a craftsman?

A way of making boring modernism more interesting (beyond white, flat-roofed, cube)
Critical Regionalism -After WW2. -associated with the issue of national identity -design philosopy: can archi express national sentiment? Rejected international style in favor of local vernaculars (resistance to becoming westernised). Didnt return to past styles, but engaged with modern technology to answer for the facicities of the site, including considerations for the local material, tradition, climate, topography. -Regional architects: Against the idea that modern archi shld be universal. Critical regionalism is not a style, they just share similarties of: -not embracing nor rejecting modernism -conscious of its location -embrace tectonic(materiality) rather than its look -sensitive to textile(touch) as well as other senses (noise, smell) hence engaging the whole body -merge local with universal -attempts to escape universal lang
#What's the name of architecture that used new materials such as iron and glass in ambitious structures?
Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton An international trade fair demonstrating Britains industrial leadership to the other industrialized nations. Wanted to show other countries the greatness of Britain 564 m long, modular iron framework filled with glass. Made in 9 months (speedy construction). It showed Britans industrial leadership to the other industrialised nations.
Who demonstrated Rational responses to mechanization? In what region?
France: Use of reinforced concrete August Perret taught Le Corbusier how to use reinforced concrete in residential buildings #designed the apartment in Paris embracing new materials in a rational way Germany: Deutsche Werkbund -organisation An alliance between artist architects, designers and manufacturers and work together to mass produce everyday objects Purpose: to focus the creativity of designers on the reality of industrial production A group established to industrialise (mass produce) the art production
Who demonstrated emotional responses to mechanization?
Germany: Expressionism #Enrich Mendleson: Einstein Tower Italy: Futurism embracing the dynamism, war, and instability
Why was Alvar Aalto's architecture a little different?
His archi was human centred and paid attention to regional differences He enriched modernism by -bringing architecture that correspond to the human -using local materials; therefore the pallet of material in Aalto's work was rich in contrast to modern architectures obsession with white walls, simplicity, transparency and glass

What was the name of the exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)? Whose work was included?
International style Mies
What style was a living organism? a biological matter? An architecture that can change and transform?
Japanese Metabolism
Problems of the term critical regionalism
Just a Euro-American formula to express a deviation from the mainstream. Anything other than authentic EuroAmerican modernity is considered traditional/ secondary. Secondary: sub category, work of a post-colonial notion Traditional. Had no originality but designs were a reaction to anything happening in the centre. Idea: colonia country always consious of centre and unable to create own identity.

How is Le corbusier and Metabolism different?
Le corbusier: house is a machine for living. Metabolists: not a machine but a living organisim. New way of thinking modernism. It changes and grows
Who re-examined the idea of monumental? during a time where monuments were understood as a stable figure that solidified the dominant power. hence modern arch was reluctant to use architecture in a monumental setting
Louis Kahn changed this perception. through his projects he showed that a monument can also monumentalise other stuff. Not just the dominant power, but it can monumentalise the human power, community etc
What is the key difference between Louis Kahn's Richards Medical Research Building, Uni. of Pennsylvania, 1957-1965. and Renzo Piano/ Richard Roger's Pompidou Centre, Paris, 1971-1977. (high tech style)
Louis Kahn: key principle is the seperation between served and service areas. This seperation was expressed in the form of the building. Difference: For Kahn, the service area needs to be concealed, be hidden whilst in the Popidous centre, everything is exposed. all the tubes, mechanical elements are exposed. Brief: wanted the columns to be reduced in the interior. So the trusses are designed in a way to support without many columns disrupting interior flow. Facade: structure, lift both exposed. Colours used are decorative and cordinated into its functions
#Whose the key figure of developing skyscrapers?
Louis Sullivan For Sullivan, skyscraper was the inevitable product of social and technological forces. He looked at situations in organic terms. "Form follows function" Thinking of appropriate forms for new types of buildings Chicago was becoming a capitalist city and was wanting to become efficient in terms of its production but it was facing problems like rise of population and land value. This new type of building "skyscrapers" appear as a solution for this problem
Who was the German modern archi protagonist?
Mies Van der Roche Was not into politics, didn't care who was in power and stayed in Germany as long as he could, But Nazi didn't accept modern archi. They wanted classic revival style of buildings. Mies left Germany for America as he could no longer practice architecture in a Modern Language.
During the middle of 20th century all architecture became the same. How did pioneers react to this? After 1930s Le Corbusier changed his approach. How?
Mies, Groupius, Corbusier showed good examples of modern architecture. But the language it created was one that referred to WHITE SIMPLE BOXES that architects were repeating all over the city. Citizens begun to feel alienated as they cldn't associate with them. During the middle of 20th century pionners questioned how they cld rescue modern arch. Frank Lloyd wright looks at exotic japanese archi for inspo, Alvar aalto created humanistic archi. Le Corbusier also changed his archi RADICALLY. They became more organic. He started to use local, traditional materials with texture i.e concrete with raw surfaces. Beton Bint aesthtic developed. His projects were no longer light, on pilotis, floating, but was grounded on site.
What is the name of Swedish archi that was produced during WW11
New Empiricism Sweden: neutral during war, therefore war didn't impact its development the way it did other countries who were at war for 4-6 yrs. They had the luxury to develop their own style. New Empiricism was favoured by old British Archis but young/ radical archis rejected New Empiricism cause it was detached from the realities of working class. (dissociated from everyday life)
#Art Nouveau was occurring in Belgium. What was happening in Vienna, Austria?

What are the new types of buildings?
Skyscrapers in Chicago These developed simultaneously with the development of steel structure, elevators and immigration from rural to city therefore there was a dense urban fabric with large population of people so theres a need to go up. At the same time modern transportation is developing, so people living on the outskirts could commute easily to city centres
most famous roman architecture
The Pantheon Roman architecture built in 100-25 AD In Rome, Italy -Circular geometry in comparison to rigid Greek archi -technological advancement allowed roman archis to work with circular geometry and develop the round dome. -coffering on ceiling -niches on walls
most famous greek architecture Describe its design principles
The Parthenon Greek Architecture built in 447-438 BCE A peristyle temple with Doric columns Also known as Acropolis (site of famous Greek ruins) of Athene Has a curved foundation and stylobate (the base that supports columns) The largest temple of the time Consists of an enclosed space housing the statue of Athena surrounded by a series of colonnade (peristyle format)
What was the key design element of Japanese Metabolism?
The dominance of megastructure Plug in capsules into the megastructure and once they decay, you can throw them out and insert a new capsule The term Metabolism refers to the projects and ideas developed by the members of this group in the 1960s and early 1970s. This includes large-scale urban projects(megastructures), formulated in response to both rapid urbanisation and the perceived inadequacy of small scale urban planning. For the Metabolists, architecture should not be static but be capable of undergoing "metabolic" changes; instead of thinking in terms of fixed form and function, these architects concentrated on changeability of space and function. The Metabolists' are interested in the repetition of simple spatial cells. A key theme was that buildings should be designed to accommodate future growth and development. Structures and service cores were fixed, but existing floors could be replaced and new floors could be added.
What is the idea associated with Le Corbusier?
The idea of Architectural promenade The journey towards a building and how the building reveals itself gradually as you approach it
Who was influential to changing the direction of Bauhaus?
Theo Van Doesburg Made art production at Bauhaus relevant for industrialization and mass production of objects
Whats happening during 18-19th century Why was battle of the styles happening What was triggering the battle of the styles
Theres a series of revivals: roman, greek, renaissance, baroque etc. Whats happening: battle of the styles. Search for a true style The reason they have access to all these information is because of industrial revolution and rise of scientific research. Scientists and archaeologists have more and more accurate info about the past and it was up to the architect which era they chose to revive.
Utopian and Urban Projects design philosophy. what was the purpose of these designs?
Utopian and Urban Projects were often developed in reaction against haphazard development, inner-city congestion and monotonous suburban sprawl.

What were the 2 responses to mechanization?
William Curtis author of book argued that there were 2 reactions to mechanization Rational and functional responses to mechanization Emotional/ intuitive responses to mechanization
When did modern architecture emerge? What time period?
between 18 and 19th century at a time when the style of architecture was revival and neo classicism During the 18th century we have -industrialisation -rise of modern science -spread of urban cities -expanding knowledge Based on these changes, they now have access to all knowledge of previous eras ie classicism because they have the tools to research the ruins They are bringing past knowledge together and applying it to the architecture of the 18th and 19th century. This is known as neo classicism/ revival (going back to past styles) Modern architecture emerges at this particular moment. to rebel against the continuity from the past and be radically different. Modern Architecture wants no connection with the past. Depart from the past
What are the 3 new things that are emerging as a result of industrialization?
new type, new form and new materials New materials have new capacities shift from hand made to machine made technical transformation: exploration of iron use was mainly undertaken by engineers. New building types. these buildings were built for rapid erection, not permanent structures (short lifespan) building cost reduced due to minimized weight of iron
