In this post we will try to summarize the most recognized and documented architectural styles in

history, from the rocky Romanesque temples of the late Middle Ages to the non-linear and
fragmented designs of deconstructionism.

Therefore, in this article we look at some of the emerging technologies in


commerce that will (revolutionize) it.

1. Fresco
2. Gouache
3.

We spend around 80-90% of our time indoors, surrounded by forms, artificial light, colors,
furniture, and soundscapes. Isn't it time to consider how much these created environments
influence our lives and personalities? This topic delves into how architecture influences our
thinking, cognitive capacities, mental and physical well-being, emotions, and many more.

Social Conditions
The architecture reflects the social structure of the period in which it is built since it is the most
permanent and cumulative. Ang type ug appearance sa mga structures kay nakabase sa interest sa
mga tao.

Many protective elements, such as high fences or kural sa bisaya, shutters sa bintana, wrought iron
or steel railings kanang design sa doors and windows, broken glass, and barbed wire on top of fences
(kabalo mo unsa nang barbed wire? mao na siya tong alambre nga nay sharp edges), so naka
depende kung unsa ka stable ang administration ug improving social conditions sainyung lugar kung
unsa siya ka required. Architecture is now dictated by comfort and ease.

Social Conditions are


1. Period - Different architectural periods exhibit man's interests through their buildings. In this 20 th
century, atong social structure was where we mga tao dire sa kalibutan ug asa ta nag interact ug
nagpuyo complicated kayo kay confusion rather than simplicity atoang characteristic. Like ang
sakyanan gihimo para katong sa mga taga lagyo nagpuyo sa ilahang mga work but has created a
traffic problem.

Cinema, radio, TV, and transportation show us foreign countries. Individualism is uncommon. Ang
pressure sa pag concentrate sa gamay or narrow space tas mag require ug area of territory owned or
controlled by a ruler or government nga nagdugang sa mga problem sa tig plano or Architects.
Our architecture reflects our societal complexity.

2. Man’s Personality - The type of residence in which he lives, reveals something about his hobbies
based on his appearance. In a similar manner, possible nga matrace nimo ang comparison sa
personality ana nga nation saimong makita sa attitude toward architecture nga makita sa mga
building. Ang usa ka tao makahimo ug kaparehas between a country’s personality Clothes represent
the simplicity or complexity of its residents' existence, which influences the development of its
architecture.

Greek’s Dignity
Scholarly and philosophical refinement was prevalent in people's lives, and the outfit consisted of a
modest, flowing robe. Physique and physical health received a lot of attention. The Greeks' lives
were reduced to the essentials, which were mirrored in their clothing and architecture. They did not
build on a huge scale but rather sought purity of detail and technical skill development. Dressing
ornately had no place in their plain little activities.
French Renaissance
This was a time of great detail in court life, attire, and building. Social etiquette had become so
complex that all naturalness had been abandoned. Life was false and theatrical, as was the period
clothing. Powdered wigs and brocaded coats complemented the jeweled canes and lace frills. The
furniture was brightly colored, but the chairs were frequently straight and unpleasant. All of this
opulence would have been out of place in more humble surroundings. To complement the activities
housed, the architecture needs to be elaborate. Buildings were crammed with rococo
embellishments that obscured structural lines and frequently hindered true expression. Ornate
building was supposed to be flashy, with vast avenues lavishly ornamented with fountains and
gardens.
Victorian
The flowing whiskers, beribboned bonnets, mutton-leg sleeves, and bustles were simply a reflection
of the period's jig-saw decoration and sheet-metal cornices. It was another ugly and drab form,
lacking the color of the French Renaissance.

Contemporary
Despite the complexity of modern culture, we have been fortunate with basic clothing for both men
and women. Today's clothing is most likely the result of medical and health science keeping up with
other changes, and our people being impressed with the importance of fresh air, sunshine, and
exercise. Under the constraints of the nineteenth century, these were difficult to procure.

The need for freedom of mobility and interest in athletics is mirrored in the modern architectural
approach, which emphasizes basic wall surfaces to interpret structures in terms of people's needs.

3. Man’s Interest - It has been stated that man's actions and interests are directly accountable for
the style of architecture that he creates. This is demonstrated in common constructions such as the  

A House, which offers a refuge for a man during his hours of rest.
Historically, houses were tiny and cramped, and the hall served as both a workroom and dining
room. When the scenario changed from the country to the city, it was easy to keep affluence, staff,
and enormous houses. This era was marked by pretense and display. Plans were intricate, varied in
size and design, chaotic, and unrelated to human requirements.
The contemporary house is described as utilitarian and comfortable. There is a goal to maximize the
usage of sunlight and air. The walls are opened up as much as possible, and the interior is pleasingly
related to the outdoor terraces and gardens. Thus, the comfort concept prevails in twentieth-
century designs.

A factory provides a space for labor and creates a commodity for exchange.


Man often worked at home in the early days; it was the age of handicraft, the era of individual
endeavor. Those who made items for their fellow men took pride in their work. The company was
more personal than impersonal. When the industrial era arrived in the latter part of the nineteenth
century, little stores expanded into factories, with little care given to efficient arrangements or
pleasant working conditions. Labor was disorganized, with few windows, light, and air, resulting in
gloom and inefficiency.
Now, it is an era of vast production and competition To compete favorably in price and quality, the
operation must be efficient. Proper working circumstances have evolved as a result of this type of
business activity, and as a result, well-planned factories and attractive settings are frequently seen in
parts of our industrial cities.

And a Church that provides spiritual rest as well as opportunities for worship.
People used to worship several gods, and only priests were allowed to visit temples. The exterior
was then given considerable attention. The Christian religion then constructed churches to house
congregations that participated in God's worship. As a result, the interior is often more essential
than the exterior .The medical churches served as a place of worship as well as an educational center
for the masses who could not read or write. The outside and interior carvings and art provided a
chronology of biblical events. When individuals learned to read and write socially, especially with the
development of the printing press, sculpture became a decorative quality rather than a visual one.
The preaching kind of church was evolved, resulting in the inclusion of an auditorium. This was
mental participation rather than bodily participation.

The 20th Century


The twentieth century has seen numerous inventions and breakthroughs. Old ways of thinking and
life have been altered or abandoned. New activities have necessitated the need for structures to
house them, and new materials and construction methods have made these structures viable.

A. Transportation
Transportation enabled the transport of all types of building materials from one end of the planet to
the other, resulting in structures that were unimaginable just a few generations earlier. The
automobile necessitated the construction of garages, gas stations, and bus terminals. It has rendered
our tiny streets meant for horse and buggy almost obsolete. Airports have grown in importance as a
result of the airplane, while new types of steamships with increasing tonnage have enhanced the
importance of docks and warehouses. The expansion of railroads has resulted in gorgeous passenger
and freight terminals, as well as our great industrial cities.
B. Commerce
In Commerce, these days, vast, intricate, and increasingly taller buildings are going erected to house
new business operations such as banking, finance, and other related fields.
C. Education
Schools and colleges are scientifically structured with mass instruction, and their functions are vast
and complex. The newspaper is also a strong tool for keeping people informed about current events
in their countries, and libraries and museums provide limitless resources for those who want to read
and research. Previously, museums were constructed to resemble palaces, with little regard for
public education and comfort. The modern museum is intended to display art from the past and
present so that it can be studied and applied to modern requirements. The essential needs are
simplicity of organization, enough illumination, and ease of circulation.
D. Rehabilitation
Labor-saving gadgets have increased leisure time and the desire for recreation. Sports and
entertainment are universally popular with both viewers and participants. As a result, there are
theaters and dance halls, as well as arenas, ballparks, golf courses, and city clubs.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
Social life and architecture are directly tied to economic realities. Trade, business, industry, and
agriculture determine a country's occupations and living conditions. These considerations affect
construction types and materials.

As nations change their manufacturing, transportation, and communication, new forms of living
emerge, and new architecture must adhere to these norms. We care about citizens' economic
standing as a nation, not their riches. Architecture's economics also intrigues us. Space, movement,
and materials can be conserved in buildings. These elements determine a project's cost.

The concentration of wealth in our cities has influenced our attitude toward specific
architectural styles. Investments govern our life, and buildings must consider financial caprices. We
build tall skyscrapers, but mechanical devices make them outdated in a few years, so we demolish
them. The true economy in the building is not reusing resources, but omitting superfluous
adornment and applying a smart layout.
Until the industrial revolution, man's economic structure remained unchanging. Before machines,
humans and animals provided power and energy. Slow production, many hours. Electrical or steam
power is practically endless, liberating man from the machine and producing new economic and
social concerns. Men can produce more with labor.

Future generations will work less and play more. This increase in leisure reflects a changed lifestyle
and will boost the construction of recreation-related facilities. Leisure and learning. Mind and body
therapy will be prioritized. This possible economic transformation may affect our social life and
architecture.

A PREVIEW OF THE COMING OF THE 21ST CENTURY


At this point, people have been to the moon, and our transportation has taken us into space. People
have made computers that can solve problems that used to take hours, days, or even months. A lot
of new and man-made materials are being found and made at a fast rate. So, our building designs
have become more comfortable, and now people are building skyscrapers that are higher and
higher.

In the early stages of computers, a person puts in information based on what the client wants, and
the computer gives back a sketch. Then, this information can be used to make a massing or a
perspective. It can even be changed so that it shows the light and dark at different times of the day.
In a different case! When planning a subdivision, the computer can show all the different views
together and show how the land is shaped. It can also show the structural designer where the weak
spots are in a building's design. With its software, the computer can also store information about
materials, specifications, management, schedules, and a lot of other things that can help the
designer make designs that are better, faster, and more accurate.

FUTUREHOME by Elizabeth
For Portia Isaacson, a computer scientist, futurehome is a fantasy come true. The white, two storey,
stucco, suburban Dallas home, will be an electronic showcase, but with spiral staircase, hot tub, art
gallery and style. A quick call to-or from-a computer ensures that her hot tub will be warm when she
arrives or informs her when her teenaged children have gotten home from school. If a business
meeting keeps her from getting home in time for her husband's birthday, a computer controlled
scenario, complete with loving messages, romantic lighting, favorite music and appropriate videos,
will let him know he hasn't been forgotten.  Answering the door is obsolete. A camera shows who it
is by sending a close-up view of newcomers to wherever Isaacson is in the house. Then she can open
the door remotely. Can't find the keys or the husband? Via video cameras she can scan shelftops and
table surfaces. Motion censors track each person's room-to-room movements.  It will take 13
computers, 14 telephones, 26 tv monitors, 8 miles (13 km) of wiring, several video casette recorders
for this future home. Isaacson has robots for pets, a sculpture of stereo and video components that
seem to float in space, futuristic plant stands that are really computer terminals, and a media "
command center", that includes four (4) 25-inch (60 cm.) tv's, a 40-inch (100 cm.) tv projection
screen, 2 VCFS, and compact and laser disc players.  At futurehome, a master computer is in charge.
It receives data from the rest of the house and sends out commands, dimming lights, changing
thermostat setting, and switching tv channels and volumes. Using a text-to-speech converter, the
computer can answer and make telephone calls. When someone- a housekeeper or tardy teenager,
for instance punches in their individualized codes to get into the front door, the computer can be
cued to let Isaacson know, either where she is in the home or at work.  It can tell the condition of
the house, not only can lights or favorite music be turned on as a person enters a room, a
synthesized voice can welcome guests, remind a son to keep his feet off furniture or wake a husband
in time for dinner.  Heating and airconditioning are regulated electronically, and the computer
tracks temperatures in each room so that the new occupants can assess airflow throughout the
house. Once computerized, the entire house can be run from any one of 10 personal computers by
pointing with .a light pen to a particular room pictured on the screen and designating a task to be
completed: lights on or off, specific music to be played, tv show to be recorded.  Or "scripts" can be
written that coordinate activities for emergencies, normal household maintenance, and even family
tend to take care of intruders, a security script: If a security sensor detects a break-in, the computer
could be programmed to flash all the lights, blast the stereos, wake up and tell the residents where
the stranger is lurking, perhaps even inform the burglars that they are being filmed.  The Interior
looks like the tv series Star Trek. Instead of a wall-sized painting, an electronic sculpture welcomes
visitors. The black components of audio and video systems are set into a glossy, black metal wall on
shelves not visible to viewers. Recessed lighting along the wall edges adds to the effect.

INVISIBLE STRUCTURE
The plan is the foundation of a structure. It is the basis upon which the structure's scheme is built. It
connects the various units together. It is the most significant aspect of volume and should be taken
into account as soon as a solution to a problem is tried. "We should go from within to without," from
a satisfactory arrangement of the plan units to their enclosing by the shell known as the exterior.

VISIBLE STRUCTURE
Volume or mass is formed by enclosing space. If this area has no relevance to human activity, the
only geometric forms that exist are the cube, pyramid, and sphere. If the surfaces of these volumes
and the enclosed interiors are treated in such a way that the forms are related to human
requirements, they can be considered architecture. The visible structure is made up of form and
surface, as shown below:
