Lesson 9-Final

Lesson 9
Contemporary Architechture
This lesson will enable you to:
 Differentiate among the kinds of architecture

materials
 Describe the styles of contemporary architecture
 Explain the characteristics of architectural
interior and fixtures
 Apply descrition, analysis and interpretation to
selected architechtural structures
ART PRODUCTION
 The element of art and principles of design or

organization also apply to architecture.
 We add two more element: size and scale. Size
relates the structure and its parts and the human
beings who occupies the space
 Scale in architectural design relates too the
proportion of an object or space to all other
objects on it and also to the human beings and
their activity held in the structure.
ARCHITECTURAL MATERIALS
 The classic materials used in architecture are

wood, stone and brick. Modern materials include
cast iron, structural steel, and reinforced
concrete.
BAHAY KUBO
 Cast Iron- set the stage for steel skeleton
construction in architecture.
 Steel manufacture and fabrication advanced the
architecture through tribular, extruded, and
corrugated steel, and reinforced concrete
 Reinforced concrete or ferroconcrete is vastly
move efficient than stone masonry piers and
arches.
Structural devices are employed to enclose space
in architecture. These are post and lintel,
cantilever, truss, arch, vault, done, shall structures
and solar panels.
Post and lintel is the most ancient of construction

devices and still enjoys wide use todays.
Cantilever is the horizontal extension of a beam or

a slab into space beyond it supporting post.
Truss system is an application of the geometric
fact that no angle of triangle can be changed
without altering the dimensions of the sides.
Arch is used to support bridges an viaducts and in

association with large domical and vaulted
structures.
Vault is a successions of identical arches in file

order on behind the other(foldman 1981 394-395)
The placement of the of a dome on a cyclindrical
drum over a circular foundation is logical from stand
point of geometry and construction.
Architect Leandro Locsin choose the round plan as

most suitable for giving the congregation a sense of
participation in the community mass.
Shell structure are the beneficiaries of reinforced

concrete and superior mathematical tools for
calculating stresses and the strength of materials.
Solar panels are also gaining popularity in
architecture
STYLE IN CONTEMPORARY
ARCHITECTURE
Biomorphic Architecture is designed with patterns and shapes
inspired by living organism such as trees.
Environment friendly architecture
 Artist promote environment awareness through there creative work.
 To create environment friendly structures architects consider factors
such as energy, efficiency, the use of sustainable, natural and recycled
materials.
ECO ART
is a kind of art that promotes environment awareness broketron by
either depiating nature and the importance of its preservation.
SKYCRAPERS are immensely tall mildings found in densely populated
cities al over the globe books, windows, walls, and interior decors
 Architectural doors, doors, windows, walls, and interior decors are
just as important as structure itself.
 Doors can be made of wood or glass combined with metal

Windows are not just openings into a structure they serve as
passage of light, air and sound.
A window composed of colored pieces or painted glass

frequently portraying people are called stained glass
window
Walls are usually made of concrete reinforced with steel.

Fountain are usually located outside a
building but in contemporary architect and
engineers have devised ways of installing
indoor fountains reinhanced with lights and
sound.
Windows are not just opening into a structure they serve as

 A windows compared of colored pieces or painted glass
frequently potarying people are called stained glass.
 Walls are usually made of concrete reinforced with steel.
CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ART IN
THE PHILIPPINES REGIONS
This chapter will enable you to:
 Analyze the personal or social context that guide the

production of installation art.
 Explain the characteristics of public art and its function.
 Describe the use of medium and material in mixed.
Whether two or three dimensional, these new
media art forms are of these main types of
techniques. These are:
 Representational Art
 Abstract Art
 Nonobjective Art
That’s ALL!
