Introduction to the Seattle Central Library, Seattle, Washington




Introduction to the Seattle Central Library, Seattle, Washington

Shannon Mattern quotes Herbert Muschamp, former architecture critic of the New York Times, who raves about this building saying, "In more than 30 years of writing about architecture, this is the most exciting new building it has been my honor to review" (78). The building has received many awards and seems in itself to signify that it is the city's most significant public building. As a library, it is clearly different from what we have come to expect. Traditional libraries like the New York Public Library or the Boston Public Library are engraved on the public consciousness. Rem Koolhaas of OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture) reinvented the traditional institution and designed a library for the 21st century. After all, the age of the book, if not disappearing, is supplemented by new types of information sources. And this building announces its modernity. Initially 29 architects applied for this international competition, which was reduced to a final five: a local Portland firm, Steven Holl (who designed the innovative St. Ignatius Chapel on the Seattle University campus), Koolhaas, Cesar Pelli, and Sir Norman Foster--although the last two dropped out at the late stage. The Gates Foundation donated 20 million toward the cost. Although some greeted Koolhaas' initial designs with skepticism, the library is a very popular spot today, patronized by the local clientele and visited by gawking tourists. Although it doesn't look like the traditional library, and although it doesn't have a northwestern look (whatever that means!), it was designed for Seattle's rainy climate. Koolhaas said it was a building designed "for drizzle, for mist, for greyness" (quoted in Mattern 72) and it takes advantage of its site--cramped though it is. It provides fantastic views of Elliott Bay and Mount Rainier. And it seems to be logical, functional, and user-friendly, as I hope the following pages and pictures illustrate.

Introduction to the Darwin Martin House complex in Buffalo, New York by Frank Lloyd Wright





Introduction to the Darwin Martin House complex in Buffalo, New York by Frank Lloyd Wright

The Darwin D. Martin House Complex is considered one of Wright's architectural masterpieces and one of his greatest residential works during his Prairie House period. Its excellence is partly evidenced in the unified composition set in a harmonious landscape, a composition comprised of six buildings which are linked in style and layout. See the plan. These structures include the main house (the Martin House) at about 15,000 square feet; the Barton House, built for Martin's sister Delta and her husband George; the 100 foot pergola, which links the main house with the conservatory; the conservatory which features a replica of the Nike of Samothrace; the carriage house/garage/stable with a chauffeur's apartment on the second level; and the gardener's cottage, built a bit later in 1908. The pergola, conservatory, and carriage house were demolished in 1960, and have been subsequently reconstructed, thus restoring the original unified composition. The site for this complex of buildings is one and half acres at the corner of Jewett Parkway and Summit Avenue in the Parkside suburb of Buffalo. "It is one of the three large-scale, multi-building complexes among more than sixty houses designed and built to Wright's specifications during the architect's prairie period" (Jack Quinan 13). As Quinan notes the Martin House is 167 feet long, about the equal of five or six typical neighborhood lots. While the entire complex illustrates Wright's emphasis on the integration of architecture with nature, both the Barton House and the Martin House are representative works in the Prairie architectural style. At this time, the typical Victorian house was vertical with decorative details. In contrast, Wright's Prairie style residences hug the ground. Their horizontality is achieved by low roofs with gentle slopes, cantilevered overhanging eaves, banded windows--creating a long horizontal as well as breaking down the barrier between inside and outside. Wright's plans during this period were often cross-axial (or cruciform) with porches or verandas that extend into the landscape, again making the distinction between outside and inside less dramatic. Often the chimneys are large as a way of anchoring the structure to the ground. Wright created this complex for Darwin D. Martin, an executive in the Larkin Company. (Wright's Larkin Administration Building (1904-06), a landmark in modern architecture, was demolished in 1950.) Hundred of letters of their correspondence still exist with many of their issues and arguments summarized in Jack Quinan's book (cited below). In spite of Martin's objections, Wright had pretty free rein in the development and budget of this outstanding project. Throughout Martin's life, he was to be a friend and economic support of the creative architect. According to Jack Quinan (quoting Edgar Tafel, one of the members of the Taliesin Fellowship), the plan of the Martin house was one of Wright's favorites; "he published it frequently (on five occasions during his lifetime), and he pinned it up over his drafting table and made frequent reference to it in discussions with this apprentices" (187). Visitors today may well agree. See the Darwin D. Martin House Complex website for information about tours of this wonderful complex.

Introduction to the John S. and James L. Knight Building, Akron Art Museum by Coop Himmelb(l)au




Coop Himmelb(l)au, a cooperative architectural firm (thus Coop, pronounced Co-op), originated in Vienna, Austria but now also has offices in Los Angeles and Guadalajara, Mexico. The punning name translates from German as 'sky blue' (Himmelblau) or as 'heaven construction' (Himmelbau). The design firm, founded by Wolf Prix, Helmut Swiczinsky and Michael Holzer, was one of several included in the 1988 MOMA exhibition entitled "Deconstructivist Architecture." Although some of the architects included in the exhibit have disavowed the designation (most notably Frank Gehry), many still design buildings in a generally deconstructivist style. These qualities may include fragmentation, non-rectilinear shapes, and a sense of unpredictability and a controlled chaos. Coop Himmelb(l)au designs asymmetrical structures with "open-planned, open-minded, open-ended" designs, made up of complex, undefined spaces. This addition to the Akron Art Museum was the product of an international competition. It is the first building in the United States by this firm and indeed one of the rules of the competition was that the architect chosen could not have built previously in Ohio (thus eliminating Gehry, Eisenman, Hadid, and other notable firms). Coop Himmelb(l)au was known for adaptive reuse of historic buildings, which may have also given them an edge in the competition. The new building is 63,000-square-feet with additional gallery space, an auditorium, museum shop and café. It is joined to the earlier building, dated at 1899, which in its even earlier incarnation had been a post office. (It is the red brick, red-roofed building seen in numerous photographs here.) The addition is defined by three parts: the Crystal (lobby and adjoining areas), the Gallery-Box (space made up of several gallery areas), and the Roof Cloud (the cantilevered roof). These areas will be described further in the respective pages.


 

Historic architecture

Dolmen in Belgium
Stonehenge in England

Start the dawn of human history, standing demand to protect themselves before the effects of natural weather, human history had to create architectural form first in order to survive. Thus, the architecture was first on the needs arising from the use of man's man. In the history of European architecture, theories about the origins of architecture Vitruvius mentioned in the book Ten works of architecture. Accordingly, the primitive hut is considered as beginning points for every form of architecture later.

In Neolithic period, people built the wall solidly to protect, such as stone walls are found in the famous Jericho, dating built in 8000 BC. They have also unearthed a cluster of residential populations, including the round house built by her husband ranked on different rocks in the village of Skara Brae in Scotland.

In Bronze Age, the first type of architecture was born. That is the type of the following:

    
* Room Stone (Dolmen)
    
* Pillar Stone (Menhir or monolith)
    
* Proximity (Cromlech)
    
* This initial type of the temple. 

Temple architecture was built to worship a god or a celebrity late. 


Many temples for the gods of religion or belief provinces. For example in China there are temples of the gods of Taoism as Tam Thanh Huyen De, Spirit of, Lao family fortune Log, Spirit Vu Bat Monitoring, Lao of the Teacher, Black Tiger Forum and Sung flexible Huyen Add period. ..; in Greece is the Temple of the Gods in Greek mythology as Delphi temple worship god Apollo.

In Vietnam there is a real character in history and was made a holy temple built in various places of the 3 regions of Tran Hung Dao. Tran Hung Dao temple also known as the Duc Thanh Tran.
