'The architectural technologist draws design inspiration from the development of divergent architectural genres over time'The objective of this report is to explore the above statement in relation to a building of my choice, the building can be modern, post modern or post post modern. In doing so I was asked to discuss the historical formation of the movement and to analyze the building I chose with particular reference to technologies. The 'History of Architecture' module itself and the topic of this assignment was interesting and rewarding. It's amazing to see how building design has evolved throughout history. I decided to choose a post-post modern building as I am particularly interested in this area. These buildings are very interesting to me because they are so well designed to function in today's world, where there are huge demands to reduce our impact on the environment. The materials and technology used, as well as the ingenious ways in which passive techniques are created, fascinate me. In the first section I will briefly discuss how we got to where we are today, in terms of the post-postmodern movement. In the Second Section, I will shift attention to the building of my choice where I will analyze the features and technologies of the building. In the final section I will offer my conclusions and recommendations.SECTION 1Every architectural style that has occurred throughout human civilization on this planet has been in response to something; the need for things to change. Whether it is fashion, beliefs, religions or the emergence of new technologies that have allowed us to build differently, everything happened for a reason as a result of something. For example, in the... middle of paper... ...threatening shape. The new dominant form we currently refer to as post-postmodernism is emerging. Like every other architectural form that has emerged in the past, this new form emerged for a reason, as a result of something. Post-post modernism was formed through our desire to reduce our impact on the environment. The need to address climate change while offering occupants the comfort they need. These buildings are masterpieces of intelligent design, using the most innovative technologies to reduce energy consumption and maximize user experience. Post-postmodern buildings are overtaking traditional construction techniques, intricate plaster details, fancy Corinthian columns seem to no longer matter, especially when building such things risks causing further damage to the environment.
