Understanding Architecture's Evolution and Impact on Urban Form

This course explores the essence of architecture, how it has shaped urban forms over time, and the evolution of new architectural practices. We will examine the historical context of building vs. dwelling, the separation of design from construction, and the burgeoning field of urban planning post-World War II. Special focus will be given to contemporary architectural figures like Frank Gehry and their innovative approaches. Through discussions, students will reflect on key insights and apply learnings to real-life design projects, such as the Cowley March Park.

  3. THE NATURE OF ARCHITECTURE

  4. Even in Britain, long ago, most people made their own buildings

  5. Gradually a gap developed between ‘building’ and ‘dwelling’

  6. Later, as economies developed, a gap opened up between ‘designing’ and ‘building’

  7. Industrialisation created a market for ever more specialised design services: • Engineers: specialists in new materials and structure • Architects: specialists in art

  8. Post world war two, a market for town planning was developed: • Architects: move even more into the art camp • Planners: specialists in social and management issues

  9. Architecture Design Art

  10. CULTURAL LANDSCAPE Components: Indeterminate Buildings: Decades Plots: Centuries Public Space Network: Millennia Environmental Infrastructure: Aeons

  11. FRANK GEHRY: $130,000,000

  12. TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE NATURE OF ARCHITECTURE HAS AFFECTED URBAN FORM

  13. Buildings: the unique selling proposition

  14. Permeability Integrated network Perimeter block Active interface In the end this creates a problem The Admirable Types of Responsive Environments Vitality

  15. From perimeter blocks to monuments

  16. TO UNDERSTAND HOW A NEW URBAN ARCHITECTURE IS EVOLVING

  17. For discussion on Friday Week 5 at 9am I’ll ask each student: • To highlight one key point from the lecture and explain why you thought it was interesting; • To discuss what you learnt from the lecture that can be applied to the design of the Cowley march park.
