A new style of architecture that appearedin Europe in the 1930s.

Young architects thought that SullivansForm follows function could only beinterpreted that if buildings were only madeto function well from a practical POV, allwould be well.

They were wrong.

A designer cannot give an aesthetically

satisfying form to and object if he/she does

not know its Technical Function Find out what its function is

Make the technical engineer study the laws of

Architects

If a visual form shall express its purpose of

supporting a human body, the form of

perception must be capable of a tendency

to change into an image of a comfortable

haptic form.

Umcomfortable Chairs


11/45

Do they not look comfortable

enough?


12/45

The designer has to create such form

which will be the expression of the forces

and make it capable of resisting pressure

from its contents.

Described as one of wearing, supporting,

or tension.

The Parthenon


15/45

Forms like these give a fair expression to

the function of simple wearing but is

sometimes necessary to create a

structure.

Visual hemming in- sometimes appreciated as a protection,sometimes avoided as a hindrance-is one of the mostimportant architectural expressions. The expression ofhemming is given by inner floor, walls, and ceiling.

The steep roof of a building can give a strong expression ofprotecting.

A flat roof gives a weaker impression, but this can becompensated by heavy eaves, as seen from underneath.Buildings without eaves seems unprotected.

Other perceptions add to the attributes of visual form. Dulland dark colors, and a pronounced texture, especially apronounced deep texture, contribute to the expressionmentioned

19/45

The expression of protection can become so strong that it

develops into an expression of closeness or stuffiness. In

such a case, it my become necessary to insert doors and

windows in the wall. These elements will visually connect

the closed room with adjacent spaces.


20/45

The perception of a door- even when

closed-is transformed into an image of

unimpeded motion, whilst a window which

does not reach the floor is connected with

the idea of a protected outlook.

If the window does not reach the floor ,it is

likely to combine with an image ofunimpeded motion as well.


21/45

Such an image can become very

unpleasant if the window is many storeys

above the street. In well-designed houses,

it can sometimes be seen that the architect

has been aware of this, and has therefore

placed the windows higher up in the wall

on these storeys furthest from the ground.

One visual from which very well expresses

the function of distributing light, sound, air

and water, is the trumpet form ,which with

sufficient variation be used for light fittings,

megaphones and air mouthpieces. A

tunnel-shaped object. Can also have the

expression of catching and sucking in airor sound, as in the old-type.

25/45

A function associated with the ability ofships cars and aeroplanes to leave theirway during their rapid motion through air or

water streamlining is the visual form of thisfunction. The motor boat gives a definiteexpression of speed and efficiency as itmakes its way through water, and to this

expression, the sharp stem is probably themost important contribution.


26/45

Other perception, for example visually glossy and tactilysmooth surface

can also contribute to the expression of speed.


27/45

Tools which are not meant for dressing or

manufacturing have a special kind of semantic

interest.

They very often give spontaneously created and

spontaneously perceived expression of their

function.


28/45

Example:

- An axe which immediately give its function


29/45

Architectural expressions cannot be

fully understood merely by reading

books. Practical experience isabsolutely necessary.

31/45

The purpose of an object

cannot be often be visualized

without at the same timevisualizing how it is produced.


32/45

The visual expressions for sawing,

planning dressing and twining on a lathe,boring milling, cutting and so on.


33/45

A definite expression of a production

method is by modelling, a given quantity ofmaterial into a new shape.


34/45

-Iron work, moulding, casting, throwing,rolling and so on belongs to this group.


35/45

Plaiting and weaving are indeed

venerable techniques which have

been used all over the world.


36/45

- Baskets demonstrate the way in which the appreciation of the

expression of the technique is closely combined with a formal

aesthetic evaluation of the pattern created by the technique.


37/45

The putting together of objects by

means of fitting different details

closely is a technique, which is, fromthe point of view of expression often

highly appreciated.


38/45

Modular furniture


39/45

Tongue and Groove


40/45

It is sometimes necessary to assemble

parts of a building by specially made

framing elements for this purpose. The

professional Engineer or an Architect canobviously better appreciate this kind of

expression than the layman especially a

proper technical understanding of thestructure highlights of the expression.


41/45


42/45

Frame

-A skeletal structure of relatively slender

members designed to give shape and support to

a building or other construction. Framework

-The construction of framework in which

openings between the frames can be filled

with sheets of wood glass iron plates and so

on.


43/45


44/45

The process or result by joining two or morethings together to form a single entity.

In architecture:The use of intimate fusion between different

elements of the same or different materials isa relatively new technique based on a certain

modern inventions such as reinforcedconcrete, plastic laminated plywood andwelded iron structure.
