    The Art of Travel Rheotrical Analysis

    “There was only one way to possess beauty properly, and that was by understanding it, by making oneself conscious of the factors (psychological and visual) responsible for it” (de Botton 216). In The Art of Travel, Alain de Botton encourages the reader to view the world through an artistic eye, one which is attuned to detail. By doing so, one can comprehend beauty by becoming ardently interested in the minutiae of life. In the literal sense, beauty is an adjective attributed to the aesthetically pleasing, however de Botton alludes to a more complex sense of beauty by using it as a metaphor for happiness. Although it seems as if de Botton’s overarching theme is to recognize beauty through detail, it becomes more apparent that he feels seeing beauty requires not only attention to detail, but also delving even deeper into our consciousness and recognizing that beauty is heavily dependent on darkness. De Botton says, “The twin purposes of art: to make sense of pain and fathom the sources of beauty” (de Botton 233), suggesting that one must see the dark in order to see the light.…

    Ada Louise Huxtable Summary

    The title of Ada Louise Huxtable’s book is not the only thing that alludes to Louis Sullivan’s article in 1896, “The Tall Office Building Artistically Considered.” Sullivan’s article is concerned with how “form follows function”. However, the overarching question within Sullivan’s article asks: What type of decoration or façade should these steel skeleton multi-storied office towers be wrapped in? Huxtable believes that this very question is one that needs repeating. Huxtable not only gives us a look back, but also offers her expectations for the future in the answering of this very question.…

    Geoffrey Scott and Architectural Modernism

    Geoffrey Scott and Architectural Modernism

    Introduction In Geoffrey Scott’s book The Architecture of Humanism (1914) formulates a series of arguments against a number of theoretical positions. Scott identifies these theoretical positions as fallacies underlying architectural theory which is not proper to architecture. The four types of fallacy he distinguishes are the ‘Romantic Fallacy’, the ‘Mechanical Fallacy’, the ‘Ethical Fallacy’ and the ‘Biological Fallacy’. This paper is to analyze these ‘fallacies’ with those of the main proponents of the Modernist movement and the subsequent critics of Modernism. In how far would Scott support the views of the critics of modernism and their position? For Scott the ‘romantic fallacy’ lies in overloading attitudes towards architecture with literary associations with its symbolical religious and political implications. The romantic fallacy takes a detail from an era and changes it into a complete vision of that particular era; therefore simultaneously destroying the interest which was felt in its principles, and replaced it by misunderstood concepts out of which no principles of value could ever be recovered. The catastrophe for style was equally a catastrophe for thought 1. This laid on qualities that essentially belonged to literature which associated with significant experiences can be different for every individual spectator in every age, rather than the ‘necessarily direct and sensuous experience’ which Scott claims architecture requires. Modernist architect Le Corbusier 2 concentrated his efforts on redefining artistic standards by glorifying industrial forms and promoting deterministic belief in the advancement of civilization. Le Corbusier selected a concept from his time (machine) and created his own architectural expression for that period. His Villa Savoye 1931 3 is a good modernist example to Scott’s romantic fallacy – representing architecture in its own age as an association with a machine itself…

    Williamson Rites Of Passage Summary

    The dissertation that Williamson wrote reflects on many issues that architects and like-minded designers face; a true battle with the in-betweens. These are often overlooked in most practices and if it must be addressed, it is often misrepresented. The writer has elaborate and express this study in a sequential research based on many readings that have touched on the matter. The exploration began with the inquisition towards architectural practices in the current age and its obsession with undisturbed lines and edges, expansion of city boundaries and also the value emphasis on real estate. The argument takes a turn at the evaluation of the muddles edges and the shambolic outcome that happens in between.…

    Disjunction of Senses in Modern City Life

    In his chapter “City Life and the Senses,” John Urry discusses how the senses system operates in “open societies” of streams of crowds in open space. The five senses are comprised by the visual, auditory, touch, taste, and olfactory. Urry views visuality as an ambivalent force that is prioritized above the other sense through the developments of centuries and somewhat abused by as visual sense becomes increasingly accelerated in the city life dominated by technology. The imbalance in the sensed environment is magnified by the physical natures of the senses themselves, but the inexpedience in this discrepancy is a product of civilization, implying that visuality and other senses are capable of interacting collaboratively under a hierarchy for a city life that “plays to all the senses.”…

    Psychology and Architecture

    Alain De Botton’s recent book ‘The Architecture of Happiness’3 concludes “Bad architecture is in the end as much a failure of psychology as of design.” However, there is little within his book to support this assertion. During this dissertation I have attempted to carry out a systematic review1 of the history of ‘architectural psychology’ in order to show that a better understanding of (i) the psychology of the architect, (ii) the psychology of the end user , including issues of personal space, identity and universal ‘innate’ needs, and (iii) how the user interacts with his immediate…

    Image and Representation

    Architecture is understood and studied from drawings and images. Drawings possess a life of their own and express the intentions of the architect. In the following essay, I would annotate the various arguments brought forth in the two readings, “The Necessity for Drawing: Tangible Speculation” by Michael Grave and “Architectural Drawings and the Intent of the Architect” by James Smith Pierce. Both the readings discuss about the importance of the language of drawing in architecture. Grave discusses the speculative nature of the language and the three different types of architectural drawings and their nature and purpose in design. Pierce, on the other hand explains how the analysis of the subject of these drawings, their presentation and the medium used can tell us about the intent and approach of the architect.…
