  1. BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

  2. AGENDA Aim of the course Theory - Tectonic as a term - Background in history of ideas - In the history of architecture Examples BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  3. AIM OF THE COURSE • To provide the students an understanding enabling them to design tectonically in relation to the entity of an architectural idea with respect to structural systems and architectural room acoustics. • - A vocabulary in construction systems (shells, plates, frames, beams etc.) • Fundamental concepts related to architectural room acoustics • Assess the aesthetic significance of construction systems and acoustical concepts • Ability to work tectonically with architectural projects BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  4. LECTURES 1st lecture (AMDS): Tectonic Concept development Focusing on tectonic architecture where the developing of architectural concepts has been significantly influenced by both structural and aesthetic concerns 2nd lecture (PHK): Construction systems vocabulary I Structural systems build up from beams, colums, archs, plates, frames and cables. 3rd lecture (PHK): Construction systems vocabulary II Structural systems build up of arcs and shells. 4th lecture (PHK): Construction systems vocabulary III Structural systems build up of arcs and shells. 5th lecture (PHK): Construction systems vocabulary III Dynamics of structural systems. 6th lecture (PHK): Fundamental acoustics terms. 7th lecture (PHK): Definition of reverberation time and absorbing materials. 8th lecture (PHK): Room acoustic design 9th lecture (AMDS): Architectural room acoustics An introduction to designing tectonically with room acoustic parameters. 10th lecture (PHK):Building acoustics design BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  7. TECTONIC - ETYMOLOGY ARCHITECT : ARCHITECTON ARCHI+TECTON = MASTER BUILDER BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  8. TECTONIC - ETYMOLOGY GREEK ‘TECTON’ : CARPENTER OR BUILDER RELATED TO GREEK ‘TIKTO’ : TO PRODUCE, A SIMULTANIOUS EXISTENCE OF ART AND CRAFT ALSO RELATED TO GREEK ‘TECHNÉ’ FOUND IN TECHNIQUE, TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGY NOW UNDERSTOOD IN AN INSTRUMENTAL NATURE, AS A MEANS TO DO SOMETHING. ORIGINALLY CONNECTED TO ‘POESIS’, ARTS. BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  9. TECTONIC – IN THE HISTORY OF IDEAS The intellectual experience versus the bodily experience Galileo meets the pope BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  10. TECTONIC – IN THE HISTORY OF IDEAS Around 1700-1800: Rejection of superstition but also rejection of poetic and emotional aspects of the human experience Houses are build to live in, and not to look on; therefore, let use be preferred to uniformity, except where both may be had.’ Francis Bacon Decartes, cogito ergo sum, one could only rely on logic, not on the bodily experience BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  11. TECTONIC – IN THE HISTORY OF IDEAS A concern with tectonics can be seen as a means to mediate between the intellectual and the bodily experience BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  12. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE • Classical architecture • the master builder • trial and error evolution in structural solutions BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  13. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE • Break-away from master builder situation • Firenze Dome by Brunelleschi • Prestigious building, the master builder died, Brunelleschi took over • Building situation: not possible to scaffold, material available, only compression strength BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  14. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE End of 17th century New materials New ways of designing BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  15. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE The industrial revolution and modern architecture Fascination with industrial production and building industries Precision, lightness, mass production Building boom BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  16. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE Critique of modernism The ’tabula rasa’ method for being insensitive to the site and history BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  17. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE Postmodernism Architecture as a sign, history as significant, arts, theatre and fun as sources of inspiration architecture as transcending function and materiality, the sublime is the aim peter eisenman Michael Graves – the type Peter Eisenman – coloumn and cardboard BUILDING TECHNOLOGY AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AIM OF COURSE THEORY EXAMPLES

  18. TECTONICS – HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE Tectonic expression as a critique of postmodern superficiality ‘Often the outcome of this idea in built terms is an unpleasant sense of an enlarged model, a lack of articulation of the parts at different scales: walls that seems to be made of cut-out cardboard, unfinished windows and openings; in sum, a general relaxing of tension from the drawing to the building. It is false to think that culture of industry or building (by now distant cultures from design) could solve the problem of detailing; this might be convenient or economic to the architect, but lead to unprecedented downfall of architecture.’ Vittorio Gregotti ..architecture is first and foremost an act of constructing, not a scenographic activity..
