The document discusses various architectural concepts including analogies, metaphors, essences, and programmatic concepts. It provides examples of each concept type, such as Face House in Kyoto using an analogy of a face, and the Sydney Opera House using metaphors of a sailing ship, hat, or pencil sketch. Essences focus on distilling information down to the major aspects or "heart of the matter". Programmatic concepts look at stated requirements.
The document discusses different types of architectural concepts that can drive the design process. It defines an architectural concept as the idea or thought that forms the foundation of a design project. The document then describes five expressions of architectural concepts: 1) architectural ideas that focus on spatial composition and structure, 2) themes that carry through a design, 3) super organizing ideas like geometric configurations, 4) parti and esquisse diagrams developed in Beaux-Arts schools, and 5) literal translations of original diagrams into finished buildings. Finally, it outlines five types of concepts: analogies, metaphors, essences, problem solving, and ideals.
This document discusses concepts in architecture. It defines concepts as ideas that integrate various elements into a whole. Developing strong concepts that tie together all aspects of a design project is important but challenging. The document outlines different types of concepts like architectural ideas, themes, and literal translations. It also discusses problems students may face in conceptualizing, such as communication issues, inexperience, and generating hierarchies. Overall, the document provides an overview of concepts and their role in architectural design.
The document discusses architectural concepts and how they are developed and expressed. It defines a concept as an idea or thought that provides identity and direction for a project. Concepts can come from a site, program, culture or influences. They should provide an exterior expression and interior experience. Concepts are expressed through diagrams, models, analogy, and metaphor to convey relationships and ideas. Developing a strong concept gives depth and meaning to a design.

This document provides an introduction to architectural theory and elements. It begins by defining architecture and its origins. It then discusses the functional, aesthetic and psychological contexts for architecture in satisfying human needs. It introduces various functional aspects like site, structure, skin, services, use and circulation. It also introduces Gestalt ideas of visual perception. Finally, it discusses fundamental architectural elements like point, line, plane, form and space.
This document discusses the concepts of program, function, architecture, and building. It defines four functions of buildings: protective, domain, social, and cultural. Architecture is distinguished from building in that a building only becomes architecture when it is part of cultural discussion. The document then discusses the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao designed by Frank Gehry. It was intended to revitalize the city of Bilbao economically and has attracted over 20 million visitors, bringing $500 million to the local economy in its first three years. It is considered one of the most important works of architecture since 1980 for uniting critics and the public.

Postmodern architecture emerged in the 1960s as a rejection of the strict functionalism of modern architecture. It sought to reintroduce ornamentation, color, and references to historical styles. Key characteristics included drawing from multiple sources rather than pure forms, moving away from neutral colors, and taking elements from different styles and combining them in new ways. Notable postmodern architects included Robert Venturi, Philip Johnson, and Michael Graves.
The document discusses architectural design processes and methodologies. It explains that architectural design often involves teamwork. It outlines key steps in the design process including assembling a team, clear communication, budget and cost control, and staying on track. It then describes the development process from schematic design to construction in more detail.
it is about dimensional, subtractive, additive, centralised, radial, clustered, grid forms.
it is about the design procedure and how can we make an innovative design follow ing a few simple transformation steps.
This document discusses different types of architectural space and spatial organizations. It describes enclosure as using four vertical planes to define a space. The degree of enclosure impacts spatial perception. Common spatial relationships include spaces within spaces, adjacent spaces, interlocking spaces, and spaces linked by a common intermediate space. Key spatial organizations are centralized around a central space, linear as a sequence, radial extending from a center, and clustered grouping similar spaces.
This document provides information about American architect Robert Venturi and his design philosophies and works. It discusses how Venturi rejected modernist ideas of simplicity and embraced complexity, contradiction, ambiguity, and references to popular and vernacular culture. It summarizes some of his key works like the Vanna Venturi House and additions to the Allen Memorial Art Museum. Venturi incorporated unexpected juxtapositions of elements and aimed to accommodate the inherent conflicts in a site or project. His buildings typically combine architectural styles and references in unconventional ways.
Frank Lloyd Wright was an influential American architect known for pioneering organic architecture that aimed to harmonize structures with their natural surroundings. One of his most famous works is Fallingwater, a house built in 1937 near Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Fallingwater is built directly over a 30-foot waterfall, with terraces that echo the rock ledges below. Wright designed the house so that its residents could experience the waterfall as part of their daily life, with water sounds heard throughout. The home exemplifies Wright's organic style through its integration with the surrounding forest and use of local materials like stone.
Circulation in architecture refers to the pathways that allow movement through buildings and spaces. Good circulation is essential to successful architecture as it determines how people experience the spaces. Circulation includes both horizontal pathways like hallways and vertical pathways like stairs. It also includes less obvious spaces like areas between furniture where people walk. The design of circulation significantly impacts how users experience and appreciate the architecture through movement.

Zaha Hadid was an Iraqi-British architect known for her innovative deconstructivist designs. Her MAXXI Museum of 21st Century Arts in Rome, completed in 2009, exemplifies her style through fluid, curving forms that blur indoor and outdoor spaces. Key aspects of her philosophy included fluidity, using light and sharp angles to create a sense of dynamism. She received many awards throughout her career for pushing the boundaries of architecture and was the first woman to receive the Pritzker Prize in 2004.
The document discusses Expressionist architecture, an avant-garde movement that sought to transform reality rather than imitate it. Expressionism emerged from Art Nouveau in the early 20th century and was influenced by the trauma of World War I, during which architects were freed from practical constraints. Notable Expressionist architects included Erich Mendelsohn, Joseph Maria Olbrich, Rudolph Steiner, Eero Saarinen, and Frank Gehry. Their works featured organic, non-rectilinear forms meant to express deeper meanings rather than mimic surface appearances.
The document discusses principles of tropical architecture and design through two case studies - the Belarocca Island Resort in the Philippines and a house in Maui, Hawaii. It outlines how these projects utilize passive design elements like orientation, ventilation, shading and natural materials to promote thermal comfort without mechanical cooling. Key strategies include maximizing air flow, removing hot air via convection currents, and using vegetation for shade and fresh air.
This document provides information about a seminar on contemporary architecture presented by Palvi Kadam. It begins with background on how the Industrial Revolution and French Revolution led to changes in architecture. It then discusses various styles that emerged over time like Modernism and provides characteristics of contemporary architecture like asymmetrical plans, large windows, and green building materials. Specific projects are presented like the Ribbon Chapel in Japan, which uses a unique spiral design, and a farmhouse also in Japan that uses local soil and grass to blend with the natural environment.
The document discusses several architectural theories and styles including deconstructivism, postmodernism, parametric design, futuristic design, and cybertecture. Deconstructivism focuses on non-rectilinear forms and fragmented features. Postmodernism incorporates references from multiple historical styles. Parametric design uses computer software to generate complex shapes. Futuristic designs presented use bio-inspired vertical designs and sustainability. Cybertecture proposes buildings that incorporate technology, multimedia, and intelligence.
The document outlines the overview and units of a course on theory of architecture. It discusses key concepts like definition of architecture, how it satisfies human needs through functional, aesthetic and psychological aspects. It examines elements of architecture like point, line, plane etc and form elements like sphere, cube etc. It also covers principles of architecture like proportion, scale, balance etc and components that define architectural form like site, structure, materials etc. Finally, it introduces gestalt ideas of visual perception and gestalt theory principles that help understand how humans perceive objects and group visual elements.
Neoclassical style produced both as a reaction against the Rococo style of anti-tectonic naturalistic ornament, and an outgrowth of some classicizing features of Late Baroque.

1. Analogies
a similarity between like features of two things, on which a
comparison may be based. Analogy is a cognitive process of
transferring information from a particular subject (the analogue or
source) to another particular subject (the target), and a linguistic
expression corresponding to such a process.
A comparison based on such similarity.
a. superficial analogy: to take the same shape of
something without any change. (direct)
b. structural analogy: to make a structure of building
from a shape or something.
c. holistic analogy: combination of both.
An analogy is more like a simile
11. Aysheh ALShdaifat
2. Metaphors
A metaphor is more like an allegory.
A metaphor is an implicit simile, while analogy is an explicit one.
Put differently, a metaphor is literally false, while an analogy is
literally true.
Metaphors need a bit more imagination to interpret, while
analogies are readily apparent.
Example of difference between metaphor and analogy
"My cat is affectionate" is an analogy. You can literally see the
cat shows behavior deemed affectionate. The comparison is
straightforward, between the cat's behavior and our idea of what
"affectionate" looks like.
"My cat is a rock" is a metaphor. You can see literally the cat
isn't a rock. The comparison isn't straight forward and asks us to
imagine more so what it means to for the cat to be a "rock".
"My cat is an affectionate rock" is both, an analogy and a
metaphor. "Affectionate" is apparent, while "rock" isn't.

14. The process of transformation of intangible or abstract aspects into physical
or visual image is known as the process of “Metaphoric Process”. The most
successful metaphoric process is probably Notre Dame du Haute - Ron
champ Chapel, built by Le Corbusier in France in 1955. The architectural
form of the chapel begins the idea of a ship, but the viewers could interpret it
in many different ways such as a crab, a hat or a bird.

15. Metaphor Example The Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Opera House, by Jorn Utzon, 1957 is another remarkable
example, which expresses extraordinary popular metaphors. The building is
characterized by its organic shape, and abstracted unadorned surface. In fact,
this building demonstrated how architecture can add and integrate to the
environment as well as extending its metaphorical architecture to future
generations.

Metaphor Example The Milwaukee Art Museum
Another expressive example to metaphor in architecture is the Milwaukee Art Museum,
Wisconsin, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. This sculptural building
featured a cathedral-like space, a vaulted glass ceiling, a moveable sunscreen with a wingspan
that unfolds and folds twice daily. The museum is rich with metaphors and was interpreted as
“ships and birds” that move up and down in the lakefront site.
17. Another impressive piece of architecture is the Bahia temple at New Delhi,
built by Fariborz Sahbathe in 1986. The structure of the building is made of
reinforced concrete shells, which metaphorically could be perceived as the
petals of a flower.

Analogy Example Face House
Face House in Kyoto, Japan by Kazumasa Yamashita.
Face House - the client is a graphic designer
‘The face was emphasized so that we couldn't see anything
else ‘’(Jencks, 1993,p.183(.
A joke applied to the very unjokey box-like form of the whole
Yamashita’s ‘I tried to find a solution by employing a simple
and economic box structure [reinforced concrete], adding
small but effective and functional accessories to the facade’

Analogy (between Two building) james c.snyder
Until the rise of the modern movement in the first half of the twentieth century, it was
assumed by clients and architects alike that all the great architecture of the world had
already been built. The task of the architect was to figure out which previous building
was the appropriate model for the new building being designed. At one point the initial
assumption was that Gothic was the appropriate model for churches, colleges, and
universities; Greek Doric was the appropriate model for banks.
Some analogies seem to turn up more than others. A recent example is Diamond
and Meyers' use of both a village street and the Galleria as an analogy for the
design of a building for the University of Alberta in Edmonton that combines
a student union with married students’ housing. The apartments are located along
the interior street with a curved dome and delighting similar to the Galleria in
Milan.
In developing this project, the architects were concerned with the basic validity
and how to develop and carry out the analogy. An example of one refinement of
the original analogy is in the use of panel windows that open onto the street. The
architects noticed that the perspective view down the street in an early
version of the design did not match the vitality and colourfulness.

A statement of the essence of something can also be the result of
discovering and identifying the roots of an issue.
Programming requires abstracting ( distilling( to the essence to
bring out only the major aspects of information.
3. Essences
Architects are taught to bring order out of chaos, to establish an order
of importance, to get to the heart of the matter.
Abstracting (distilling( to the essence must be an essential talent of
the programmer. There must be a filtering process that brings out
only the major aspects of information.
The major aspects
22. Aysheh ALShdaifat
Focus on the heart of the matter, one should distill the
information reduction down to the essence; however, there is
always the danger of oversimplification. In the search for
the problem (programming( and the search for the solution
(design(, both kinds of thinking have their place. The trick is
to decide when one should take precedence over the other.
‘One reason for limiting one thought, one fact per card, is to be
able to reduce the number of cards without losing something
important.’’
- Steve Parshall
There is need to amplify in order to view the whole problem,
but there is also need to abstract.
You amplify and then narrow down; you seek the
ramifications of the information gathered, and then turn
around to determine the bare implication. It’s a continual
process. You must be able to see the trees and the forest—
not both at once but consecutively, from two different points
of view.

4. Programmatic concepts
Not all concept capture the essence of a project, nor do they all
symbolize (analogy, metaphor( the function of all the activities in a
building.
The difference between programmatic concepts and design
concepts.
Programmatic concepts refer to abstract ideas intended mainly as
functional solutions to clients’ performance problems
without regard to the physical response.
On the other hand, design concepts refer to concrete ideas
intended as physical solutions to clients’ architectural problems,
this being the physical response. The key to comprehension is that
programmatic concepts relate to performance problems and
design concepts relate to architectural problems.
29. Aysheh ALShdaifat
Develop abstract ideas that are functional solutions to problems.
A programmatic concept is a performance requirement related to
methods of solving a problem or satisfying a need.
Programmatic concepts answer questions that LEAD to design.
It’s important to search for and find the whole problem.
To accomplish this, the problem must be identified in terms of
Function, Form, Economy, and Time.
Programmatic concepts
30. There should be a minimum of four statements concerning the
four major considerations, components of the whole problem:
Function, Form, Economy, and Time.
Typically, they cover the functional program, the site, the
budget, and the implications of time. Rarely should there be
more than ten statements.
Programmatic concepts

in the cadet zone and in the family housing/community

separation of pedestrian movement and vehicular traffic.

31. Economy
Since the Academy will be a military showcase, the quality of
design and construction must be of a high level.
Form
Since the cadet zone must locate facilities within a 5-to-6-
minute walking distance, the master plan must respond with
the appropriate density.
Since the area is barren and austere, the master plan should
create green planted areas for the psychological effect.
Since the projected image of the academic campus must
reflect the military values of strength, order, and discipline,
the master plan should respond to this image.
Time
Since the Academy may grow even beyond the two planned
phases, the master plan must allow an open-ended
framework for expansion.
32. Aysheh ALShdaifat
In contrast to the previous categories of concepts, which
suggest that the architect look inside the problem or at a
similar problem to discover appropriate concepts, ideal
concepts are those that architects bring to the problem.
If architects bring the right concept to the project, they are
praised for their genius. If their choice is inappropriate, it
becomes a preconception and their basic competence is
questioned. Ideal concepts represent the highest aspirations
and goals of the architect.

50. The internal layout is derived from the technique
for lacquer, which, like a ‘Swiss cheese” with
innumerable bubbles, joins the horizontal with
the vertical by means of its filaments stretching
from floor to ceiling, thereby creating perfect
continuity. While the technique for lacquer
determines the distribution of the spaces, the
wet wool technique determines the building’s
roof. The various models then developed were
part of a complex process of modeling the form,
leading to the overall coherence of the whole.
