• The Industrial Revolution and the French Revolution brought about a radical change in architecture with the manufacture of new building materials and cheaper mass production.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE / JOSEPH PAXTON 1851

• Provided a more stark vision, generated by the ideological changes that led to the formation of democracies in the world and led the architects to eliminate the luxuries of the buildings.THE HOUSE OF

BLACK MOTHER OF GOD, CZECH REPUBLIC 1911

• The neoclassical style was introduced in the design of buildings seeking purity of lines, so the discovery of the ruins of Pompeii and other archaeological treasures Greco Romans was adapted to the new times.

IT WAS AN ECLECTIC ARCHITECTURE IN WHICH MANY STYLES ARE MIXED

• The iron, steel, zinc and glass were becoming part of a new design concept, closer to engineering than the architectural design.

EIFFEL TOWER, PARIS

• The engineering began to have a greater role, the economy of means, the clean lines, the shortest time to its construction, the easy technical and the lack of ornate ornaments that gave the new materials.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE

• Developed great discussions addressing architecture, first the Modernist architects, descendants of Romanticism and Symbolism. On the other hand the Rationalism that raises two clearly defined movements: Constructivism and Deconstructivism.

• Modernism developed in Europe and receives different names. In Spain, better known as Catalan Modernism are develops mainly in Barcelona.

• In France and Belgium is known as Art Nouveau, Modern Style in England and in Germany as Jugendstil.

CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE

Contemporary architecture is definable broadly as the building style of the present day. Contemporary homes typically include an irregular or unusually shaped frame, an open floor plan, oversized windows, and the use of "green" and repurposed components. Such homes also often have an organic design, fitting into the surrounding space and meeting an immediate need in the area. Contemporary buildings tend to be highly functional and may push the limits of what can be defined as contemporary architecture.

INTRODUCTIONDATE SIGN

“Contemporary" is not limited to a single stylistic thread. “Modern" recalls the early- and mid-20th-century architecture embodying the ideals of the machine age: an absence of ornament, structures of steel or concrete, large expanses of glass, a whitewash (usually stucco over brick) or another minimal exterior expression, and open floor plans.

Simple layouts Form is based on the function of the space Asymmetrical plans Large and more number of openings of distinct shape Ample of natural light

CHARACTERISTICS

Flat overhanging roofs are a common way to add eye-catching design elements Providing additional shady regions adjacent to the structure and still protect the overall structure from the elements. Addition of trees to the top of the building to facilitate natural cooling and also to create a building that is more harmonious with the natural surroundings.

The use of natural light to illuminate the interior of the building. Achieved through the presence of skylights on a flat or low-pitched roof and the prevalence of large glass areas along the exterior walls.To further distinguish the interior of the building, large continual spaces may be achieved by the modification or elimination of many interior walls.Exposed beams, sanded floors and large expanses of lightly colored ceilings (and walls) are three more characteristics that often add to the airy feeling of contemporary architecture.

Clerestory windows let in light but leave valuable wall space free.

Different size and shape of windows enhances the quality of space.

Exposed work add to the airy feeling giving a simple look.

CHARACTERISTICS

Indoor spaces blends with the outdoor spaces

Transparency of indoor- outdoor spaces in maintained by materials like glass.

Use of natural looking material with less maintenance and more durability.

Exterior walls have sometimes become experimental canvases for the application of simple natural elements and newly developed state-of-the-art synthetic materials. In some of these creations, it is not unusual to see the outside covered with large windows or plates of glass cut in irregular or unusual shapes. In nearly all situations, decorative trim and molding has been kept to a minimum and landscaping may be added as an external design element.

One area where contemporary designers have excelled is by thoroughly incorporating their newly created buildings into the existing landscape.Besides adding to the visual appearance, these modifications can provide temperature moderation during particularly hot or cold periods of weather. In particular, building berms, which are large mounds of earth that rest against the exterior, can protect low-lying buildings against the extremes of temperature.

The Grove started out as an idea to create a rustic, Old Country structure within an olive orchard that would give the visitor a feeling of stepping back in time. It has become a favorite family gathering space, airy yet comfortable.

The Mediterranean-style exterior is carried off with simple detailing and quality doors and windows. The four bedroom. Utilizing the existing footprint this ground-up remodel transformed the single story house into a 2,481 square foot 2-story home for a family of four. In keeping with the traditional architecture of the community, the style of the remodel blends into the neighborhood yet has a more modern feel to the interior, which is more the taste of the owners.

PROJECT- RIBBON CHAPEL

Location: Hiroshima, JapanArea: 80.0 sq.m.Year: 2013Site Area: 2500 m2

By joining two spiral stairways so that one supports the other, a free-standing structure was produced.The two spirals seamlessly connect at their 15.4m summit to form a single ribbon. At the core of their movement is a chapel.The chapel aisle looks toward an existing symbol tree. The altar stands before the tree, and 80 seats are positioned for views to the ocean through the trees.

The building’s exterior is finished in upright wood panels, painted white so as to deepen in beauty as time passes, and titanium zinc alloy, a material resistant to damage from the sea breeze and pliable enough to be applied to curvature. Employing the zinc alloy on the coping, walls, ceiling, and window sashes enabled a simple design unified by means of a single material.

PROJECT- FARM HOUSE

Architect: Hiroshi Nakamura & NAPLocation: Chiba, JapanDate of completion: 2008Parcel area: 826.47sqmConstructed area: 102.71 sq.m

The site is located between the ocean and mountains, and has a view of yachts and other boats on the horizon, the seashore, cliffs with beautiful layers of earth and fields full of wildflowers.

The focus in designing this house was to make it an extension of gardening. People living in this region have been making this soil into mounds, kneading it and firing it into pottery for many centuries. Looking at the soil and touching it with your hands brings about certain emotions. The requests of the family of three consisted of a large one-room home where the rich natural environment could be enjoyed, a reinforced concrete structure capable of withstanding earthquakes, and a wood deck terrace on the side facing the ocean.

The process that included different time frames when the plasterers and owners of the house performed work and different scrape marks they left, various objects in the soil can be seen on the surface, giving it the appearance of having varying layers of soil exposed from the earth.

PROJECT- FARM HOUSE

Exterior insulation was attached to the roof, and soil from the site was placed on top of the roof to protect it, with native grass seeds planted to prevent erosion. This eliminated the necessity of using a roofing material, enabling building costs to be reduced and minimizing impact on the environment. The concrete walls needed to be coated in order to prevent corrosion inherent in a site on the seacoast. The same soil that was used to cover the roof was mixed with diatomaceous earth (also known as diatomite), cement and resin, and applied to the walls with a maximum thickness of 55mm.

FRAME and TEXTURE were determined by the force applied with the tools used by the owners and craftsmen and the hardness of the soil.

COLOUR of the walls was a result of how the local soil and various other materials were mixed together.

The decisive factors in determining the form, texture and color of this structure were all natural elements, consisting of the hands of the owners and craftsmen, the climate and the earth at the site.

The house continues change with the seasons when the greenery is pruned by the owners, the seeds carried by the wind and birds sprout and grow, and the structure weathers. It is this transition that marks the history of this one of a kind home.
