The humanities develop values of all kinds by making the human mind more supple, critical, and expansive. They are concerned with the study of the textual and artistic traditions of diverse cultures, including traditions in literature, philosophy, religion, ethics, history, and aesthetics. In sum, these disciplines explore the range of human thought and its application to the past and present human environment. They deepen awareness of the diversity of the human heritage and its traditions and histories and they may also promote the application of this knowledge to contemporary societies. The study of the arts and design, like the humanities, deepens the student’s awareness of the diversity of human societies and cultures. The arts have as their primary purpose the creation and study of objects, installations, performances and other means of expressing or conveying aesthetic concepts and ideas. Design study concerns itself with material objects, images and spaces, their historical development, and their significance in society and culture. Disciplines in the arts and design employ modes of thought and communication that are often nonverbal, which means that courses in these areas tend to focus on objects, images, and structures and/or on the practical techniques and historical development of artistic and design traditions. The past and present accomplishments of artists and designers help form the student’s ability to perceive aesthetic qualities of art work and design. The Humanities, Arts and Design are an important part of the General Studies Program, for they provide an opportunity for students to study intellectual and imaginative traditions and to observe and/or learn the production of art work and design. The knowledge acquired in courses fulfilling the Humanities, Arts and Design requirement may encourage students to investigate their own personal philosophies or beliefs and to understand better their own social experience. In sum, the Humanities, Arts and Design core area enables students to broaden and deepen their consideration of the variety of human experience.

  • Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus
    Bauhaus 1 Bauhaus Staatliches Bauhaus, commonly known simply as Bauhaus, was a school in Germany that combined crafts and the fine arts, and was famous for the approach to design that it publicized and taught. It operated from 1919 to 1933. At that time the German term Bauhaus, literally "house of construction" stood for "School of Building". The Bauhaus school was founded by Walter Gropius in Weimar. In spite of its name, and the fact that its founder was an architect, the Bauhaus did not have an architecture department during the first years of its existence. Nonetheless it was founded with the idea of creating a The Bauhaus Dessau 'total' work of art in which all arts, including architecture would eventually be brought together. The Bauhaus style became one of the most influential currents in Modernist architecture and modern design.[1] The Bauhaus had a profound influence upon subsequent developments in art, architecture, graphic design, interior design, industrial design, and typography. The school existed in three German cities (Weimar from 1919 to 1925, Dessau from 1925 to 1932 and Berlin from 1932 to 1933), under three different architect-directors: Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, 1921/2, Walter Gropius's Expressionist Hannes Meyer from 1928 to 1930 and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Monument to the March Dead from 1930 until 1933, when the school was closed by its own leadership under pressure from the Nazi regime. The changes of venue and leadership resulted in a constant shifting of focus, technique, instructors, and politics. For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

And this in no way minimizes the necessity and relative importance of certain breaks of appearance and definition of new structures…’ 2 Jacques Derrida (1972) Positions ‘It is ironic that the work of Coop Himmelblau, and of other deconstructive architects, often turns out to demand far more structural ingenuity than works developed with a ‘rational’ approach to structure.’ 3 Adrian Forty (2000) Words and Buildings Theme In recent work of architects known as deconstructivists the tectonic structure of the buildings seems to be ‘deconstructed’ in order to decorate the building’s image. In other words: nowadays deconstruction has become a style with the architectonic structure used as decoration. Is the show of architectonic elements in recent work of

  • Language in Architecture.Pdf
    The Journey of Indian Languages: Perpectives on Culture and Society ISBN : 978-81-938282-6-7 Language in Architecture Rupa Singh The purpose of this paper is to trace the similarity between architectural styles and linguistics or nature of languages or narrative style in written form. Language as understood by mass is the method to communicate to each-other either orally or in written manner. Nature of the language can be anti-language, biased language, sexist language, natural language, body language, code switching, figurative language, Lingua-franca, taboo language, vernacular, killer or majority language. Nature of language is mirror to culture and civilization at any time in history. Similarly, Architecture is embraced in as many ways as there are architects or people commenting on their practices. Generally, it is taken as an art with Sciences as an attribute to create an object of aesthetics, social responsibility, and sensitivity. Architecture has evolved in nature of languages or style throughout the history of human and built environment. An architectural style includes form, building materials, or method of construction or regional character as distinguished features. Different Architectural styles, for example Romanesque Architecture, Gothic Architecture, Art Nouveau Architecture, Deconstructivism, Architecture; each of them has peculiar method of communicating their emotions, ideas with environment. Each of them can be explained in context of various phrases or narrative style like natural language, ornamental language, anti- language etc. Hamlet when asked in the drama ‗Hamlet‟ by Shakespeare‘ ―What do you read, my lord? He was made to say ‗Words, words, words‘. There is no sophisticated notion of ‗Words, words, words‘.

  • Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture
    Modern Architecture and Modern Furniture 14 docomomo 46 — 2012/1 docomomo46.indd 14 25/07/12 11:13 odern architecture and Modern furniture originated almost during the same period of time. Modern architects needed furniture compatible with their architecture and because Mit was not available on the market, architects had to design it themselves. This does not only apply for the period between 1920 and 1940, as other ambitious architectures had tried be- fore to present their buildings as a unit both on the inside and on the outside. For example one can think of projects by Berlage, Gaudí, Mackintosh or Horta or the architectures of Czech Cubism and the Amsterdam School. This phenomenon originated in the 19th century and the furniture designs were usually developed for the architect’s own building designs and later offered to the broader consumer market, sometimes through specialized companies. This is the reason for which an agree- ment between the architect and the commissioner was needed, something which was not always taken for granted.

  • Deconstructivism: Richness Or Chaos to Postmodern Architecture Olivier Clement Gatwaza1, Xin CAO1
    Deconstructivism: Richness or Chaos to Postmodern Architecture Olivier Clement Gatwaza1, Xin CAO1 1School of Landscape Architecture, Beijing Forestry University, 35 Qinghua East Road Beijing, 100083 China Abstract: In this paper, we examine the involvement of deconstructivism in the evolvement of postmodern architecture and ascertain its public acceptance dimensions as it progressively conquers postmodern architecture. To achieve this, we used internet search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Wikipedia and Web of Science, we also used knowledge repositories such as Google Scholar and the world’s largest travel site TripAdvisor to gather information and data about origin, evolution, characteristics and relationship between postmodernism and deconstructivism. We’ve based our judgment on concepts from famous architects, political leaders and public opinion to access the suitability of architectural style. The result of this research shows that postmodernism architecture buildings have an average 96.8% of visitor’s satisfaction ranking; while deconstructivism architecture buildings when taken alone, a decrease of 2% in visitor’s satisfaction ranking is perceived. In addition, strong comments against the upcoming architectural style confirm that deconstructivism still has ingredients to endorse in order to impose its trajectory towards the top of modern architecture. Being a piece of a globalized world, deconstructivism architecture in the most of the cases tends to disregard the history and culture of its location which compromise its innovative,

  • Similarity of Grammars of Architectural Space in Canonical Icons and the Architecture of Deconstructivism
    ARCHITECTURAL STUDIES Vol. 5, No. 1, 2019 Khrystyna Kramarchuk, Olga Chelombitko SIMILARITY OF GRAMMARS OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE IN CANONICAL ICONS AND THE ARCHITECTURE OF DECONSTRUCTIVISM Lviv Polytechnic National University 12, S. Bandery Str., Lviv, 79013, Ukraine [email protected], [email protected] Received: 19.02.2019 / Revised: 12.06.2019 / Accepted: 18.07.2019 © Kramarchuk K., Chelombitko O., 2019 Abstract. The analogies in the grammar of architectural space in an icon and the architecture of deconstructivism have been revealed, the factors of influence on the formation of the grammar of the architecture of deconstructivism and architectural space in an icon have been listed, as well as the comparison of the grammar of the architecture of deconstructivism and architectural space in an icon has been made. Key words: perceptual perspective, reverse perspective, architectural space in an icon, the architecture of deconstructivism. 1. Introduction 1.1. Problem stating: The evolutionary scientific tendency to knowledge gaining and the psychological peculiarity of human perception through associative-figurative interaction of objects led to the discovery of common rules in construction of the architecture of deconstructivism and architectural space of an icon. A new look at the well-known things generates new knowledge. Destructive fragments of the architecture in icons, which are built according to the laws of perceptual perspective, generate associations with the architecture of deconstructivism and, as a result, encourage

This was less than three years after Siegfried Bing had transformed his shop in Paris into the new and prestigious Salon de L'Art Nouveau. Important artist- designers in the Netherlands immediately recognized Arts and Crafts as the first Dutch gallery for contemporary decorative arts. The gallery presented handcrafted furniture, textiles, ceramics and metalwork of high quality alongside paintings and sculptures. Arts and Crafts only lasted until July 1904, whereas Bing's gallery closed in March 1905. But during the six years of its existence, the gallery played an important role in the world of Dutch applied arts by showing works by Dutch and foreign modern designers and by stimulating debate about the path the Dutch revival of the applied arts should take.
