Influences of Spanish Architecture in Mexico Spanish expeditions conducted during the seventh and eighteenth century has brought a variety of architectural and artistic influences to the different indigenous regions of the New Americas. It is documented that “the Architecture of Mexico began with the Spanish conquest of the country.” (Mullen, 18) The architecture of Mexico has exhibited much richness and wealth, has displayed the political and religious conditions of the time, and has showed off
designs. Many societies, empires, and time periods have architecture that is distinct, and religion has had a definite presence in shaping that architecture. In particular Islamic architecture has strong influences from Islamic teachings from the Quran, as well as secondary sources of religious influence mostly Christianity (and some influence Judaism). The impact of the Christian religion on architecture spread into influencing future architecture built for the Islamic religion, in addition to the influence
A poetic architecture looks into a moment when architecture surpasses itself as a physical structure, and instead when it becomes more than just a physical space. Le Corbusier’s church Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, built between 1950-55 was one of Le Corbusier’s poetic architecture to date. This building was one of his dramatically sculptural designs compared to his earlier works. Although his earlier buildings were very rational in design, Le Corbusier was never completely a materialist, but he
that you use. Modernist designers, in an obsession of moving forward, where always looking to enhance their ideals with new materials. When the modernist bubble burst the post-modern views came forward, embracing styles and techniques of history, architectures where liberated to be able to blend and combine techniques from throughout history. Contemporary architects, in various forms, continue on with the post-modern legacy of taking inspiration from history and seek out to use traditional building methods
Italian And French Baroque Architecture Baroque is the name given to the art of the 17th century. But the baroque style, like all other styles in the history of art, began gradually. It started in the latter part of the 16th century and continued to be used well into the 18th century.

ideas of placing a window on the wall or to have tall buildings came from? Thanks to architecture, mankind has been able to play with these ideas.

the church a social club where handsome young men come to window shop for pretty young ladies?

Should we liken the church to a football club, where only valuable players (big boys in Nigeria context) sit in front roles and drop big money for church project? No, is the church is a
means that a particular site can no longer be matched with any single pre-determined purpose, From now on each metropolitan lot accommodates - in theory at least - an unforeseeable and unstable combination of simultaneous activities, which makes architecture less an act of foresight than before and planning an act of only limited prediction. It has become impossible to ‘plot’ culture. (Koolhaas 85) But what does this statement actually mean? The goal of this paper is to clear that question up, what
dawn of time has erected structures of some sort to live, work and store things in. Though the majority of the structures forged during ancient times were purely for practical usage and not intended to be aesthetically pleasing, over the years, architecture has evolved into a craft which encourages artistry and imagination. Architects often incorporate design elements from antiquated structures in their modern designs, but often this is not the only source of inspiration; the history and meaning behind
Atmosphere and the concrete practice of building Everyday experience tells us that different actions need different environments to take place in a satisfactory way. This fact is of course taken into consideration by current theory of planning and architecture, but so far the problem has been treated in a too abstract way. ‘Taking place’ is usually understood in a quantitative, functional sense with implications such as spatial distribution and dimensioning. But inter-human functions are not similar
Richardson was born September 29, 1838 at Priestly Plantation in Louisiana. As a young man, he studied one year at Tulane University and later at Harvard. In 1860 he went to Paris to study architecture at Ecole des Beaux-Arts where he stayed until the end of the Civil War in 1865. His first work as an architect was a Church of the Unity in Springfield, Massachusetts in Gothic Revival architectural style (pic. 6). But that was not his true style.

A Comparison of Christian and Islamic Architecture in Spain By the 6th century a Germanic tribe called the Visigoths, converts to Arian Christianity, had established themselves as the aristocratic elite. The Christians built many monumental basilica-plan churches. The Santa Maria de Quintanilla de las Vinas, Burgos, Spain and San Juan de Banos de Cerrato are two such churches that still remain today.

to be both an unambiguous academic research field and a theoretical design current within contemporary architecture and is usually founded on one’s experience of the materials used in construction inclusive of their sensory characteristics. In this regard, architecture is the impetus towards transformation and inspiration of an individual’s daily existence.

His work, realized primarily in precisely finished reinforced concrete, unifies building and nature to create a deep sense of sanctuary. Ando was born in Osaka, Japan in 1941. From the age of 10 to 17, he was employed as a carpenter, learning to work in wood in the Japanese tradition. His interest in architecture began when he obtained a book of Le Corbusier sketches when

Modern architecture began rising in popularity after World War I.

The development of architecture in Scandinavia is a prominent theme which has come to light within this Swedish Art course. Notably, the styles of buildings which will be explored differ significantly from personal familiarity, as well as observations, of buildings at home in the United Kingdom.
