Architecture: Form, Space, & Order, 4th Edition | Wiley

Over time, these have been imaginatively used for a tremendous variety of structural and decorative purposes, and you should keep them in mind as we investigate an array of buildings that reflect cultural concerns and human needs of all sorts. Author: Corey Parson. Source: Original Work.

The earliest types of shelters were likely caves found by humans as they wandered to hunt and gather food and to find refuge from bad weather or pursuing creatures. The first independently standing structures were made of materials that were impermanent, that is, those found in nature—

sticks, bones, animal pelts—and fashioned to create a covered space apparently as a protection from the elements.

We have little evidence left for us to know fully how they were built and used, but some vestiges do remain that have enabled scholars to make reconstructions. Source: Wikimedia Commons. As people became more settled, domesticated animals, and cultivated crops, they developed such construction techniques as wattle-and-daub sticks covered with mud , rammed earth moist dirt and sand or gravel compressed into a temporary frame , and clay bricks unfired and fired that developed alongside their evolving techniques for creating pottery vessels.

All of these types had certain common features to meet such everyday needs as warmth, cooking, sleeping, and storage, and were usually centered around a hearth with provision for smoke ventilation. The use of stone for building structures began in prehistoric times, and an example of such a structure can be seen the Scottish village of Skara Brae 3,, BCE.

The walls were made of stacked stone while entryways and some of the furniture were created using the post-and-lintel method. Additionally, covered walkways were created to facilitate movement among its eight units. Seven of these units apparently accommodated a family or small group, while the eighth was a common room, perhaps a workshop. In addition to cultivating crops, these villagers likely herded, fished, and hunted for food. Stone furnishing such as seating, beds, storage spaces, and other items within the single-room units were around a central fire pit. With these basic methods, the humble shelter types of the Neolithic Age c. Material choices eventually expanded to include first wood, brick, and stone, and later concrete and metal. Residential palaces appeared by the time of the two great early civilizations of the Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia and Egypt, as well as those of the Aegean Sea: Crete, Cyclades, and mainland Greece prior to the development of the Greek Empire.

The Palace at Knossos on the island of Crete was a grand residence for rulers of the Minoan civilization; the palace was built c. Drawing of Knossos The sprawling complex included residential areas, throne rooms, a central courtyard, and food storage magazines for crops and seafood used in the commercial trading, an important industry and mainstay in sustaining the people. Floorplan of Residential Palace An island civilization, the Minoans were in the rare position of not having to protect themselves from enemies. The Palace at Knossos and similar structures on Crete were not fortified, that is, built behind solid walls and gates to hold off invaders. The palaces were instead built with windows and colonnades , or covered rows of columns, on their exteriors, allowing free circulation of light and air. Another palace complex, that of Neo-Assyrian King Sargon II ruled BCE at DurSharrukin, today Khorsabad in Iran, was clearly much more militaristic in character, evident by the surrounding defensive walls that strictly controlled access to the royal precincts.

The structural presence was one of imposing power, as you can see from the enormous towered main portal. The complex also included temples for worship of the deities as well as quarters for high-ranking officials and servants. Author: Internet Archive Book Images. In some versions, the lower floors were for the wealthier people, while upper floors decreased in cost and desirability. The basic ideas of how to accommodate multi- family living were established by this time and have remained similar since.

What has changed over time are the material and decorations used, styles adopted, provisions for electricity, water, and sewage management, and eventually zoning policies that would dictate locations, sizes, required provisions for safety, and density of occupation. Private homes existed for the middle class and wealthy in towns and in the countryside; the latter were called villas whether they were primary residences or vacation homes.

Diagram of Roman Villa: Villa. A private garden was in a second area open to the elements. The mild climate led to provisions for a good measure of outdoor living as well as fresh air and sunlight during much of the year, even including indoor and outdoor dining rooms. There were rooms for sleeping, storage, and household work off the atrium and garden, as well as a space for worship, known as the lararium.

Roman royalty had grand palaces, and we have good evidence of such from the retirement compound created for the Emperor Diocletian r. The design, perhaps fitting for the aggressive persecutor of Christians and retired general, was quite militaristic in many ways, resembling a Roman military encampment, or castrum. The private and public imperial areas were luxurious by contrast. Like most palace complexes, provisions were made to house soldiers and servants, and it was lavishly decorated throughout with frescos, sculptures, and mosaics , images or designs created on a wall or floor made up of small pieces of stone, tile, or glass.

While the locations for palaces were always strategically selected, the rationale was not always defensive in character. When Charlemagne selected Aachen, Germany, as the site for his main palace he had several , among the attractions were its centralized site within his growing empire and the healing waters of the natural spa there. In examining the reconstruction of his complex, you will notice the baths, shown to the left of the palace complex, are an important feature, as they had been in Roman society.

The church was an important statement for this model Christian ruler, and although it has been enlarged from its original central-plan design, the structure still carries notable features that were both impressive and influential for later medieval church architecture. This emphasis on the western entryway was developed into the grand western facades of Romanesque and Gothic churches. As an official governmental center and residence, this Venetian palace included private quarters for the Doge along with meeting rooms and council chambers, all richly decorated with marble, stucco, and fresco and including iconographic themes related to Venice, its history, and civic identity.

Author: Bojin. In Japan, the fourteenth-century Himeji Castle, built as a fort by the samurai Akamatsu Norimura, was situated dramatically atop Himeyana Hill. The complex, again, has many purposes and comprises eighty-three different structures. The grounds include huge warehouses, lush gardens, and intricate mazes. Despite its fairytale looks, its defensive systems are complex and effective, including moats, keeps, gates, towers, turrets, and mounts and brackets for a variety of weapons.

It has withstood numerous attacks and natural disasters over the centuries. The final such royal complex we will explore is the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, established in by the fifth Dalai Lama; the palace functioned as the spiritual and governmental center for Tibetan Buddhism until the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso b. The palace is named after Mount Potalaka, the mythical abode of the Bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara, and the paradisiac implications are meaningful to devotees. As at Himeji, the hillside is a striking component of its appearance, and the enormous complex makes a very dramatic presentation. Indeed, whether intended for defensive purposes or not, its imposing appearance is often a very important feature for royal architecture.

The complex includes living quarters for the Dalai Lama and the monks as well as governmental offices, a seminary, assembly halls, shrines, libraries, storage rooms, and numerous chapels. It includes statues and portraits of historical and spiritual leaders and many devotional and didactic depictions painted on walls and banners, and works for meditation and prayer. Burial mounds and tombs contain the remains of lamas and important scriptures. The residential structures of the wealthy of previous eras have often been lost to us; however, we can examine some of the aristocratic family homes of the last several centuries to gain insight into some of the additional trends for creating dwellings that go far beyond the need for simple shelter and that show some of the design ideas devised by artists and architects.

The house created for Lord Burlington in in Chiswick, England, is a good example of the Neo-Palladian style of architecture. His ideas were popular and have remained widely influential throughout the West to this day. The basic idea here derives from a combination of a Greek temple front and a Roman dome, here supported by an octagonal drum , or circular or multi-sided base. Lord Burlington planned the house to showcase his fine collection of pictures and furniture and his architectural library as well as to provide comfort for his family living there. Great attention was paid to the surrounding gardens, and their design was very much a part of the overall scheme. Inspired by Roman gardens, they were designed by his friend William Kent c.

Ambassador to France by using humbler materials such as the red brick made from local clay that he considered a better choice for a less pretentious statement than marble or limestone. At Monticello, he also brought the structure lower to the ground and added a wooden balustrade , a railing supported by upright supports, to the roofline. Nonetheless, its Palladian design origins are clear. Photographer: Matt Kozlowski. In the United States of the late nineteenth-century Gilded Age c. Among these, the Vanderbilt family whose wealth came from shipping and railroads commissioned several notable residences, mostly in the French-inspired Beaux Arts style, a period and style known in the U.

One of these residences was The Breakers in Newport, Rhode Island, a lavish resort area replete with such structures. It was built with the most lavish material such as marble and wood from around the world and was decorated with rich and sumptuous furniture, fittings, and valuable artwork, as can be seen here in the library. Photographer: Matt Wade. By contrast to design ideas of the architects who catered to the wealthiest Americans, a new conception for providing living space came into being in the early twentieth century with Frank Lloyd Wright, who developed what he called the Prairie Style. He sought to counter the blocky forms that had become the standard for American homes with a structural sweep that hugged the ground, echoed the landscape, and fostered communication between the spaces in the house and the natural elements around it.

There were others throughout history that had somewhat more pointed community needs in mind for their creation but were often combined with other purposes as well. From the time of the rise of the earliest civilizations, the needs for government and religious expression often coalesced.

Figures 7. The pathways to the temple at the summit were steep and the approach to the gods was appropriately aggrandized and formalized. At the same time, the basic platform structure was part of a complex that included the provisions for a variety of other community services, record keeping, and commercial and governmental functions.

The compact complex was located at the center of the community and in many aspects became the hub of life. License: CC BY 3. The people of the ancient Near East built with mud brick, sometimes baked, that has not proven to be durable, so the remains of these structures, constructed from around 2, BCE until the sixth century BCE, are generally not well preserved.

Still, there are sufficient clues in the ruins to reconstruct the ways they were built and used. The Romans generally made provisions for community functions in the forum , an open public space at the center of each city; the cities were often laid out in a grid plan organized with areas dedicated to various types of industrial, commercial, communal, and residential needs. The Master Plan of Verbonia The number and types of buildings varied, but they often included temples, libraries, markets, public baths thermae , and judicial structures. The Forum at the heart of Rome was the site of numerous architectural statements and additions for the public good that were created by successive rulers. One of the most influential of the buildings in the Forum of Trajan in Rome was the Basilica Ulpia, a center for law courts, business, and public gatherings.

For more than forty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has served as the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. The updated and revised Fourth Edition features the fundamental elements of space and form and is designed to encourage critical thought in order to promote a more evocative understanding of architecture.

Architecture: Form, Space, and Order distills complex concepts of design into a clear focus and brings difficult abstractions to life. The book explains form and space in relation to light, view, openings, and enclosures and explores the organization of space, and the elements and

relationships of circulation, as well as proportion and scale. View Instructor Companion Site. Forms aren't just important only in exteriors, it plays equally important in role in interiors as well to create a dramatic effect with its distinctive features in the ceiling, walls, arches, flooring, columns etc.

Different forms in interior create different kind of moods be it mysterious, romantic, extravagant, bold, lavish etc. By putting few key elements together, one can enjoy unique form in its own way.

So this ideology believes the framework that the Form of the Architectural Object is the most important concept in design. The Form is the ultimate definition of the design and it is paramount to all other elements. Once the form is designed then the program is put into the Form that has been created. Often times squished or molded into some spaces possibly not well suited for the function. In my opinion, this is what many people think all Architects believe, mainly because many of the most well-known architects fall into this camp. In some ways, I think this is the detriment to our profession as the built works feel very disassociated from the general public and ideologies they readily understand or maybe simply relate to.

While as an architect, I can understand the work and see it has some merit, I think that it is very focused on Architecture as Art and Object. And this has given away some of our authority in the world as a whole. I know that others may state that the loss of full creativity is the reason for our depreciation in agency also. It is a consistent argument within our ranks. Then I think there is also a third and final faction of architects that attempts to join these two separate ideologies into one.

I think that many current architects may fall into this category to some extent. They understand the importance of programmed space but also strive to create meaningful and expressive forms. But even in this pursuit of duality, one element will take precedent over the other. They cannot be equals. While that may be a possibility, I think it is in all honesty very improbable. If I am incorrect, please provide me some examples. Yet the power of this faction comes from the acknowledgment that the two other factions have it incorrect in their singular view. So the success here comes in the attempts to resolve the previous conflicts of the 20th-century theories about Architecture into a solution that is both extremely functional and extremely expressive.

So is one of these attitudes the correct point of view? I am honestly not certain these days. While I have always been a strong proponent of Form Follows Function, I am starting to think that the third option is really what Architecture needs to regain its relevance. In my humble opinion, this may be one of the greatest challenges currently in architecture.

Yes, after climate change This has been brewing in the back of my mind for some time, but now as I spend more time in academia and theory; it has pushed itself into my forefront and urged me to reevaluate my position. An act that I think may be forever in progress, but a healthy process for sure. There is a sector of the work being done currently that has taken the idea even to the point of Function Dictates Form, which produces some very benign and possibly loathsome architecture. This is what will give us a return to our influence over the built environment as a whole and allow our profession to do what it does best and solve problems in a holistic and meaningful way.
