Architecture
Chapter 12
![Page 2: Art Appreciation-Chapter 12-Architecture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020709/54c71a214a7959353d8b457f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Architecture
• Architecture is essentially just a shelter from the elements
• BUT, it can be an important record of a society
![Page 3: Art Appreciation-Chapter 12-Architecture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020709/54c71a214a7959353d8b457f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Three Key Issues in Architecture
• Function-how a building is used
• Form-how it looks
• Structure-how it stands up
![Page 4: Art Appreciation-Chapter 12-Architecture](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020709/54c71a214a7959353d8b457f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
An Art and Science
• As an art, architecture creates indoor spaces and an exterior that can be beautiful
• As a science, architecture has to be able to withstand weather and stress
• Three essential components– Supporting skeleton– Outer skin– Operating equipment

Styles, Materials, and Methods
• Dry Masonry– Basically piling stones on top of one
another– If the stones have been cut befores
stacking they are dressed

The Great Zimbabwe
• Built in the 12th century
• It’s walls are made up of dressed stone
• The walls are 15 feet thick at the bottom to add stability
• There are no windows as these could weaken the structure

• Round arch,Vault, and Dome– The round arch enabled builders to move their beams
further apart– An arch can be supported by a column or a pier, a
massive column– A vault is a curving ceiling or roof structure– A barrel vault is when the arch is extended in depth to
create a tunnel– Groin vault is an intersection of two barrel vaults– Keystone is the last stone placed in an arch at the top– Arches supported by column creates and arcade

Recent Innovations
• We now have computers to help us plan structures and analyze structural physics
• Suspension Structure and new materials like carbon fiber allow for exciting new designs

Designing with Nature
• Most innovations in the 20th century did not involve working in conjunction with the surrounding environment
• Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the most influential architects of the era– He was the first to use open planning in houses,
eliminating wall between rooms– He often used the surrounding environment to
plan his structures
