A sampling of Architectural Styles

2 thoughts on “A sampling of Architectural Styles”

1. Last night I was going through the Major Architectural Styles (mostly in the west) and I broke down the major periods and styles in nearly an identical way. (Only difference was I included victorian architecture, and art deco architecture). Weird. The way I summarized the styles nowadays includes deconstructionism, contemporary vernacular, contemporary impressionist (Think Calatrava, Gehry, Zaha Hadid etc) and yes, sustainable architecture. As this century continues I predict that automation and robotics are going to play a huge role in design. Buildings will mostly be built by machines or build themselves in ways resembling 3D printing albeit, more sophisticated. Reusable formwork will be essential. Amorphous structures will become quite common and material tolerance levels will become more and more precise due to laser precision and the automation process. Construction workers will mostly perform structural and material testing during assembly and inspect critical areas like waterproofing and control joints. Architects will essentially become programmers for the manufacturing process.

2. please use metric system thank you
