4 Redefining relationship between man, architecture and nature

5 Frank Lloyd Wright Known as one of the greatest American architects of all time. Father of Organic architecture A pupil of L.H. Sullivan His works are logically developed and aimed at fitting harmoniously into the landscape “Ecological paradigms”

6 Frank Lloyd Wright. Kaufmann House (Fallingwater)
Frank Lloyd Wright. Kaufmann House (Fallingwater). (1936) Bear Run, Pennsylvania.

7 Key notion is to live WITH it (waterfalls), not in it.
Wright’s first time to work with concrete; did not like it. Never stand on a solid ground Wright suggested to innovate the house’s concrete with gold leaf. Only 2 major color scheme was used: Light ochre & Cherokee red Inspired from Japanese architecture Streams flow at 1298 feet above sea level Built as weekend home for the Kaufman family

8 An Edifice Of Ingenuity

9 Jørn Utzon A well-known Danish architect
In 2003,he was awarded for the Pritzker Prize five years before his death in 2008 Never returned to Australia First to exploit the potential concepts of concrete shell structure and the Ove Arup partners(engineering skills)

10 Jørn Utzon. Sydney Opera House. (1956-73) Sydney, Australia.

11 “too diagrammatic and the scheme is simplistic”
Further Built in 3 Phases: podium, outer shell, interior. Symbolism of a sail in the midst of a deep blue ocean. Too small for the large opera and ballet theatre. UNESCO declared this as World Heritage Site in 2007 Argued as the “eight wonder of the world” Won in the competition from the New South Wales Government in 1956

12 Where Art Meets Architecture

13 Ieoh Ming Pei American architect in the modernist and high tech tradition Creates spacial balance where people can maneuver, learn and integrate. Known for his signature style of “more humane form of Modernism” First to use glazed atrium and the piazza A son of a banker Came to US to study Architecture

14 I.M. Pei. Pyramide (Addition to the Louvre). (1988) Paris.

15 It is surrounded by 3 smaller triangle
Intended to be as proportionate as the pyramid of Giza Critics pointed out issues of style that Pei used Originally constructed as a dungeon and fortress for Philippe Auguste, a royal palace, then turn into a museum 673 not 666 (603 rhombi and 70 triangles) “Formally, it [the pyramid] is the most compatible with the architecture of the Louvre…, it is also one of the most structurally stable of forms, which assures its transparency, as it is constructed of glass and steel, it signifies a break with the architectural traditions of the past. It is a work of our time.” – I.M.  Pei

16 How does the use of new materials allow for additional change / freedom in building?

17 Annotated Bibliography:
"AD Classics: Le Grande Louvre / I.M. Pei." ArchDaily. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Nov < This article is an informative and detailed source of data about the Pyramid (an addition to Louvre). It is pretty lengthy and vague in some sort, but is worthy to read because of the perfectly gathered information.  Denison, Edward. 30-second Architecture: The 50 Most Signicant Principles and Styles in Architecture, Each Explained in Half a Minute. Frank Lloyd Wright, Lewes: Ivy, Print. A great, short variety on all things related to architecture and its sub-topics (i.e.: style, form, movement, era, architects and innovation over time). The added profiles on some of the most renown architects (e.i.: I.M. Pei and Frank Lloyd Wright) really helps to understand more of their works and autobiography. Overall, a great primer on architecture before you delves into thick of specificity.  Höcker, Christoph. Architecture. Art Nouveau and the Modern, London: Laurence King, Print. Definitions of all terminologies in field of architectonics are well illustrated and presented. It is a good starter for beginners. Gives clarity in history of chronological order, but most of the learnings are irrelevant to my topic since mine is a modernized version of architecture.   Melvin, Jeremy. --Isms: Understanding Architecture Styles. Expressionism, London: Herbert, Print. A really informative source of all ..isms. Each page is devoted to specialty in different era. It has an overall impact to the readers, though; it would better if the architect's works are combined in more logical order. "Sydney Opera House." - the Architect -. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Nov < It is a perfect and credible website to site a glimpse of Utzon’s life, his background and his history as an architect.
