Term
De Stijl
Definition
  • Precursor to Bauhaus
  • Reduce, simplify, make abstract
  • Straight lines, right angles, primary colors
  • No ornament, no historic reference
  • Bring order out of chaos and achieve universal harmony
  • "The new architecture is anti-cubic...architecture requires a more or less floating aspect."
Term
Characteristics of International Style

Le Corbusier's five points
Definition
  1. Reinforced concrete stilts (support, use the land efficiently by providing another functional area right below the main living area, takes advantage of the views from the interior)
  2. Free-facade (Facades only serve as a skin of a wall, unconstrained by load bearing considerations)
  3. An open floor plan (Floor plan relieved of load bearing walls, allowing walls to be placed only where aesthetically needed)
  4. Ribbon windows (Long horizontal windows providing illumination and ventilation, echo industrial architecture)
  5. Roof garden (Functional space on the roof, allows an efficient use of the land because it is giving a function to the space that is displaced by the building)
Term
"House as a machine for living."
Definition
Le Corbusier
Term
"...we didn't avoid older styles because they were ugly or because we couldn't reproduce them, but because our own times demand their own form."

  • Lowbrow, anti-elitist pop culture
  • Advocates a greater consideration of the context of the place and relating the design to its purpose
Term
Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, by Robert Venturi (1966)
Definition
  • In collaboratio with Denise Scott Brown
  • Alternative form of expression to the Int'l Style
  • Book is published by MoMA
  • Architecture can never be PURE and NEW because the past is always there
  • Less is a bore
  • “Architects can no longer afford to be intimidated by the puritanically moral language of orthodox Modern architecture…I like elements that are hybrid rather than pure, compromising rather than clean, distorted rather than straightforward, ambiguous rather than articulated, perverse as well as impersonal, boring as well as interesting…I am for messy vitality over obvious unity.”
Term

·      “As museums, libraries, airports, hospitals, and schools become increasingly indistinguishable from shopping centers…What if the equation were reversed so that customers were no longer identified as consumers, but recognized as researchers, students, patients, museum goers? What if the shopping experience were not one of impoverishment, but of enrichment?”

Definition
Rem Koolhaus
Term

·      “My mainstay in selecting the solutions…is my independent architectural theory ordered on the basis of a geometry of simple forms, my own ideas of life, and my emotions as a Japanese.”

Definition
Tadao Ando (Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth)
Term

·      “Architecture is basically a container of something…I hope they will enjoy not so much the teacup, but the tea.”
