The Architecture Of The Modern Movement Was Built Upon Nineteenth Century Theoretical And Technological Foundations
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The extent to which architecture of the modern movement was built upon nineteenth century theoretical and technological foundations is both grand and far-reaching. Changing at warp speed pace, the world was embarking upon an entirely new and different approach to everything social, political and technological; in order to keep up with these monumental metamorphoses, the very nature of architecture – its textures, tools and overall impression – was also significantly modified. This move into modernity was responsible for an entirely novel approach to what had come to be very predictable architectural design; not only had there come a need for such structures as high-rise buildings, but architects were dealing with other issues not heretofore considered in relation to theoretical and technological foundations. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

The Architecture of Venturi and le Corbusier
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the work and philosophies of these two diverse architects, specifically with one work of each: Venturi's Sainsbury Wing of London's National Gallery and le Corbusier's Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts at Harvard University. The two have very different styles of course, but Venturi is seen as the more creative and versatile in that le Corbusier's Carpenter Center is a "cut and paste" amalgam of elements previously used in other designs in far different climates. These elements - a long ramp, diagonally oriented windows - are most useful for collecting unwelcome snow loads in Massachusetts' cold winters. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Some of his work was ornate by today's terminology as he worked in marble and brass and glass, rather than iron and glass---his competitors judgment of what properly reflected the times. Loos chose to reflect more than just metropolitan ideas and applied those ideas to the Khuner Country home. He even made an artistic attempt in his submission for the Chicago Tribune Building.
