Form and Design

Organic(Gaudi):

                            Organic architecture is a philosophy of architecture which promotes harmony between human habitation and the natural world through design approaches so sympathetic and well integrated with its site that buildings, furnishings, and surroundings become part of a unified, interrelated composition. Architects Gustav Stickley, Antoni Gaudi, Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright, John Lautner, Claude Bragdon, Bruce Goff, Rudolf Steiner, Bruno Zevi, Hundertwasser, Imre Makovecz, Neville Gruzman and most recently Anton Alberts, Nari Gandhi, John Preihs and Laurie Baker are all famous for their work with organic architecture.

Organic architecture is also translated into the all inclusive nature of Frank Lloyd Wright’s design process. Materials, motifs, and basic ordering principals continue to repeat themselves throughout the building as a whole. The idea of organic architecture refers not only to the buildings' literal relationship to the natural surroundings, but how the buildings' design is carefully thought about as if it were a unified organism. Geometries throughout Wright’s buildings build a central mood and theme. Essentially organic architecture is also the literal design of every element of a building: From the windows, to the floors, to the individual chairs intended to fill the space. Everything relates to one another, reflecting the symbiotic ordering systems of nature.

Digital computer:


                                                        There is no escape from computers they have become an indirect and integral part of everyday life. The computer with its sophisticated tool, capable of carrying out tedious menial or complex tasks quickly n accurately. The computer produce programs for parts of the building to enable robotic manufacturing procees to produce teh goods.machines on site could be also controld by the computers (from the master program) and the construction of the building would be automatic.tehre are computers and software which proves that the robotic manufacturing processes already exists such as computer aided design;taht will produce drawings and information from an overall design.


                                                       

                                                      Structural designs can be undertaken by computers together with techniques of value analysis life cycle costing n energy demands.;the building can be readily appraised. Incorporated into the system will be teh experience n the knwlege of many practitioners n the mistakes of designing and construction will b avoided.a linear approach to design ,production n performance n that order is perpetutated with those ppl involvd ineach of the three areas only brought in ata stag directly pertinent to them.


                                                        One computer n master program can serv all needs.in modern world with the globalization n modern technology the designers who are already using computers for daughtering and producing drawings r becoming Mr efficient than those using traditional skills. The effective use of computers in design analysis will undoubtedly improve in building technology.




The Machine Aesthetic:
                        A study of the machine aesthetic may be best served by dividing its development into four stylistic interpretations, as given by architectural historian Richard Guy Wilson:2 Moderne, machine purity, streamline, and biomorphic.                                               The Moderne Style used the look of the machine ornamentally. It was decorative design, and its machine aesthetic served to conceal the inner workings of the object while calling attention to itself as machine. In a sense, the Moderne was simply a sort of superficial styling, aesthetically emoting the machine yet not necessarily possessing a functional relationship with the object.  

 
                                                Aesthetic considerations cd is applicable to the whole building or just to sections o parts. This inclusion of curved soldier arches over window openings will demand careful consideration of the techniques for achieving these. The requirements of say exposed aggregate finishes to concrete will demand a variation in the normal procedures.

 
Arts and Crafts:
                          Arts and Crafts was a late 19th-century movement to revive handicrafts. Arts and Crafts architecture sought a spiritual connection with the surrounding environment, both natural and man-made.the expression of technological environment has been a key concern n the development of modern architecture crucial to this selective approach is the creative interaction of many previously semi-interdependent discipline for instances structural n services enginerring,materials,computer n ecological sciences.

                                          Arts and Crafts objects were simple in form, without superfluous decoration, often showing the way they were put together. They followed the idea of "truth to material", preserving and emphasizing the qualities of the materials used. They often had patterns inspired by British flora and fauna and drew on the vernacular, or domestic, traditions of the British countryside. Several designer-makers set up workshops in rural areas and revived old techniques.
