Paul, Goldberger. "ARCHITECTURE VIEW; The City That Was And the City That Is Now." New York Times 18 Aug. 1991: 30. Academic Search Complete. Web. 2 Dec. 2012.

These architects were fundamentally non-ideological -- this is the most important lesson their work holds for us now. They did not design in terms of theories or dogmas; they believed in looking to the past to assist them in evolving forms that would respond to the needs of the present. If one building was fundamentally Renaissance in style and another Georgian, no matter; they did not come to the table with the belief that any style was a moral imperative.

    Geoffrey Scott and Architectural Modernism

    Introduction In Geoffrey Scott’s book The Architecture of Humanism (1914) formulates a series of arguments against a number of theoretical positions. Scott identifies these theoretical positions as fallacies underlying architectural theory which is not proper to architecture. The four types of fallacy he distinguishes are the ‘Romantic Fallacy’, the ‘Mechanical Fallacy’, the ‘Ethical Fallacy’ and the ‘Biological Fallacy’. This paper is to analyze these ‘fallacies’ with those of the main proponents of the Modernist movement and the subsequent critics of Modernism. In how far would Scott support the views of the critics of modernism and their position? For Scott the ‘romantic fallacy’ lies in overloading attitudes towards architecture with literary associations with its symbolical religious and political implications. The romantic fallacy takes a detail from an era and changes it into a complete vision of that particular era; therefore simultaneously destroying the interest which was felt in its principles, and replaced it by misunderstood concepts out of which no principles of value could ever be recovered. The catastrophe for style was equally a catastrophe for thought 1. This laid on qualities that essentially belonged to literature which associated with significant experiences can be different for every individual spectator in every age, rather than the ‘necessarily direct and sensuous experience’ which Scott claims architecture requires. Modernist architect Le Corbusier 2 concentrated his efforts on redefining artistic standards by glorifying industrial forms and promoting deterministic belief in the advancement of civilization. Le Corbusier selected a concept from his time (machine) and created his own architectural expression for that period. His Villa Savoye 1931 3 is a good modernist example to Scott’s romantic fallacy – representing architecture in its own age as an association with a machine itself…

    St Wren Cathedral Essay

    For this reason architectural meaning can never be objectified, reduced to functions, formal or stylistic formulas. “Architecture tries to create a place for people and current human needs in anticipation of tomorrow.” The interior of St. Paul’s effectively captures this idealism emphasized by the uncluttered ceiling and clear glass windows, which lighten the spaces, inspiring hope a precarious time. Contemporarily, the duty of care has evolved and the focal point has become the pursuit of earns. “Architecture must reawaken in itself the potential to communicate ideas about human identity and reestablish a relationship with cultural identity.”…

    Oak Park And Frank Lloyd Wright: Architectural Analysis

    My second elaboration paper is based on this week’s readings on architecture and modernism. My focus is on my hometown of Oak Park and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. The Village of Oak Park is internationally known for its historic architecture, with styles including Queen Anne, Prairie School and Colonial Revival. Oak Park is known particularly as the home of Frank Lloyd Wright. Oak Park is located 8 miles west of downtown Chicago and holds the largest collection of Prairie School architecture in America, which includes 25 homes and business designs by Wright. The Village of Oak Park is often described as a “living museums” of American architecture. It hosts a large selection of modern architectural styles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Of the buildings within the historic district over 20 of them were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Besides the structures designed by Wright there are over 60 other buildings designed by other architectures of Wright's Prairie School of architecture. The National Register of Historic Places…

    Comparison of the Met and Guggenheim

    New York City has been called "the greatest city in the world" numerous times by its own people and visitors to the city. New York is civilization's greatest world within a city. It gives the overpowering impression of being a magnet and mirror for all of humanity and all that humanity does. For a city so young, New York is home to number of architectural classics. Two of these masterpieces of architecture are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Both continue the metaphor of New York being a world within a world and possess the latent fusion of form and function, one dependent on the other. The Metropolitan Museum is the epitome of neo-Classical style while the Guggenheim is a modernist powerhouse. Each museum serves the same purpose: displaying humanity's greatest achievements. By comparing and contrasting their history, location, façade and interior, I will investigate how they arrive at this goal in contrasting styles…

    “It is not enough to see architecture; you must experience it. You must observe how it was designed for a special purpose and how it was attuned to the entire concept and rhythm of a specific era.

    The Ideal City In Hugh Ferris's The Metropolis Of Tomorrow

    The 1916 Zoning Ordinance, the first of its kind in the United States, regulated building use, area, and height of new buildings. It imposed height and setback limits and distinguished between residential and industrial districts. The Hugh Ferriss drawings of 1922, known as “The Four Stages” or “Evolution of the Set-back Building,” are perhaps the most iconic and influential architectural images of the 1920s. Widely exhibited and published, they inspired other architects to understand the rules of New York’s 1916 zoning law not as a restriction, but as a form-giving principle for a new, modern…

    World Architecture- Le Corbusier

    I first decided to write about Alberti, but then seeing that we were allowed to write about any architect we’ve come across in this course, I thought to myself who would be better than Le Corbusier or Frank Lloyd Wright; cliché’ , but yet they’re the fathers of the modern Architecture. Alberti’s type of Architecture wasn’t in use and he’s only looked at as history. Modern Architecture is what we live in, what we breathe, what we see, it’s in our blood as Architects; it’s what people expect from us.…
