École des Beaux-Arts

School of Fine Arts established in 1819 by the French
government. The school taught a way of organizing a
buildaing into a balanced hierarchy of spatial
elements and planning principles.
It drew upon the principles of French neoclassicism,

7
but also incorporated Gothic and Renaissance
elements, and used modern materials, such as iron
and glass.

Modern “-isms”
And Other Architectural Styles
28
56
10 O ct 20 1 9
Expressionism
A European movement that generated jaggedand
dynamic forms in both painting and architecture.
57
Principles of Expressionism
• Distortion of form for an emotional effect.
• Subordination of realism to symbolic or stylistic
expression of inner experience.An underlying
effort at achieving the new, original, and
visionary. 29
• Profusion of works on paper, and models, with
discovery and representations of concepts
more important than pragmatic finished
products.
58
10 O ct 20 1 9
Principles of Expressionism
• Often hybrid solutions, irreducible to a single
concept.
• Themes of natural romantic phenomena, such
as caves, mountains, lightning, crystal and
rock formations. As such it is more mineral and
elemental than florid and organic which
characterized its close contemporary art
nouveau.

60
10 O ct 20 1 9

Metabolism
■ A post-war Japanese architectural movement
that fused ideas about architectural
megastructures with those of organic biological
growth. It had its first international exposure
during CIAM's 1959 meeting and its ideas were
34
tentatively tested by students from Kenzo
Tange's MIT studio.

its natural environment, and forms an integrated
whole.
■ Shapes are often of irregular contours and
resemble forms found innature.
35
70
10 O ct 20 1 9

Robert Venturi
▪ “Less is a bore.”
▪ Suggested that architects should embrace ambiguity,
decoration, and “messy vitality” in their buildings.
▪ His vision was an architecture of “both-and” rather
than “either-or.” This led to the development of a more
pluralistic attitude towards architecture that still
prevails today.

Deconstructivism
▪ An iconic style of three-dimensional postmodernist
art, opposed to the ordered rationality of modern
design, Deconstructivism emerged in the 1980s,
notably in Los Angeles California, but also in Europe.
▪ Characterized by nonrectilinear shapes which
distort the geometry of the structure, the finished
59
appearance of deconstructivist buildings is typically
unpredictable and even shocking.

▪ A style of postmodernist architecture characterized
by organic, rounded, bulging shapes, Blobitecture
(aka blobism or blobismus) was first christened by
William Safire in the New York Times in 2002

architecture" in 1995) the style first appeared in the
61
early 1990s.
122
10 O ct 20 1 9
Blobitecture
▪ Developed by postmodernist artists on both sides of
the Atlantic, the construction of blobitecture's non-
geometric structures is heavily dependent on the use
of CATID software (Computer Aided Three-
dimensional Interactive Application).

today do not inhibit the opportunities of future
generations.

corollary of the free plan in the vertical plane
 3. Roof garden - restoring, the area of ground covered
by the house
 4. Open planning - the free plan, achieved through the
separation of the load-bearing columns from the walls
subdividing the space
