2. Start of Contemporary Architecture  In 1796, Charles Bage created a “fireproof design” of cast iron and brick.  The Crystal Palace by Joseph Paxton 1851.  Criticism of contemporary design was common starting in the 1960’s.  Contemporary design is more widely accepted today.

3. Number of Stories and Materials  Materials typically include a variety of metal, glass, and stone.  Polymers and other “green” materials are being used.  The majority of residential structures are 1 to 3 stories.  Industrial and commercial structures have a wide variety of levels.

4. Characteristics  An adoption of the machine/industrial aesthetics  Rejection of ornamentation  Long straight lines

5. Principles of Design  Transition- one material to another (metal to glass)  Unity- repeating shapes and surfaces  Proportion- windows and beams can overpower the scale of other elements  Emphasis and Subordination- focal points can vary from metal columns to large glass walls.

6. Contemporary Residential  Provide owners the chance to develop unique structures.  Opportunity to incorporate a wide variety of shapes and materials.  Found most commonly on coastal areas, but may be currently found in many regions.

7. Where This Style is Found, Not Just on the Coasts  - The expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum by Santiago Calatrava.  - The current expansion of the Art Institute of Chicago, designed by Renzo Piano.  - The expansion of the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis by Herzog and de Meuron.

8. Contemporary Architect  Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, who chose to be known as Le Corbusier (October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was a Swiss- born contemporary architect.October 61887August 27 1965  Designed structures that reflected various stages in his life.

10. This form of art is of the post 1960 – modernist period. It was this period of the late 1900s which saw major socio- economic, cultural, political and also educational changes the world over, which undoubtedly influenced art, amongst many other productive fields.

11. Contemporary artists chose to highlight the idea or impulse behind their work rather than concentrate on the medium or method used. They unlike earlier artists were not deterred by the thought of using various media and techniques in combination.

12. Topics like racism, global warming, cloning and biotechnology, international politics, human rights, spirituality and economics are reflected in the work of contemporary artists

14. Architecture and Contemporary Art  The interactive relations between contemporary art and contemporary architecture bring about a brand-new concept of art  In the meantime, the definition and function of the architecture are changing constantly with the development of contemporary art.

15.  Contemporary architecture is the architecture being made at the present time. It also includes that of the last few decades, from the 1980s to the present. The Gherkin, Swiss Re building by Sir Norman Foster, in the City of London.

16. CHARACTERISTICS OF CONTEMPORARY ART Attempt to push the boundaries of material and technology and especially geometry Changes to accepted tradition and accepted taste Use of new materials in an innovative way Use of nature Employment of contemporary technology

22. Ideal House Zaha Hadid approached this cube as a huge block to be hollowed out and morphed into a charming sequence of rooms that lead into one another and also open up wide to the outside. Compared to the more open structures of fukasawa’s project, hadid’s ideal house retains the traditional form of the home as a unit and protective shell. The two-story structure has no roof, the walls and furniture appear to grow directly out of a floor that in some cases is totally uneven, and the ceiling is an arched sky.

38. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer technology to aid in the design of a product, particularly the drafting of a part or the product—a part visual (drawing) and part symbol method of communications particular to a specific technical field. It is in origination, the use of computers to aid the art of drafting—the integral communications of technical drawings — which for a three dimensional object are typically represented by three projected views at right angles —drafting is the Industrial arts sub-discipline which underlies all involved technical endeavors. Current CAD software packages range from 2D vector base drafting systems to 3D solid and surface modelers Computer-aided design

41. Critical regionalism Critical regionalism is an approach to architecture that strives to counter the placelessness and lack of meaning in Modern Architecture by using contextual forces to give a sense of place and meaning.

42. Deconstructivism  Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester comprises three apparently intersecting curved volumes.  Deconstructivism in architecture, also called deconstruction, is a development of postmodern architecture that began in the late 1980s. It is characterized by ideas of fragmentation, an interest in manipulating ideas of a structure's surface or skin, non- rectilinear shapes which serve to distort and dislocate some of the elements of architecture, such as structure and envelope. The finished visual appearance of buildings that exhibit the many deconstructivist "styles" is characterized by a stimulating unpredictability and a controlled chaos. Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North in Manchester comprises three apparently intersecting curved volumes.

43. Sustainable design Sustainable design (also referred to as "green design", "eco-design", or "design for environment") is the art of designing physical objects and the built environment to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability. It ranges from the microcosm of designing small objects for everyday use, through to the macrocosm of designing buildings, cities, and the earth's physical surface. It is a growing trend within the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, urban planning, engineering, graphic design, industrial design, interior design and fashion design.

44.  High-tech architecture  High-tech architecture, or Late Modernism, is an architectural style that emerged in the 1970s, incorporating elements of high-tech industry and technology into building design. High-tech architecture appeared as a revamped modernism, an extension of those previous ideas aided by even more advances in technological achievements. This category serves as a bridge between modernism and post-modernism, however there remain gray areas as to where one category ends and the other begins. In the 1980s, high-tech architecture became more difficult to distinguish from post-modern architecture. Many of its themes and ideas were absorbed into the language of the post-modern architectural schools.

47.  Novelty architecture  Novelty architecture is a type of architecture in which buildings and other structures are given unusual shapes as a novelty, such as advertising, notoriety as a landmark, or simple eccentricity of the owner or architect. Many examples of novelty architecture take the form of buildings that resemble the products sold inside to attract drive-by customers. Others are attractions all by themselves, such as giant animals, fruits, and vegetables, or replicas of famous buildings. And others are merely unusual shapes or made of unusual building materials.

49.  Postmodern architecture  Postmodern architecture was an international style whose first examples are generally cited as being from the 1950s, and which continues to influence present-day architecture. Postmodernity in architecture is generally thought to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism.
