Post Modern : the break down

A hugh slab in the face for modernism, post-modern is here for a revolution! modernism is what hold people back into a box, that's why post-modern is here!!

Whey I put the heading as the break down? simply because post-modern is here to kill modernism. With a little time people are bored with the same pattern over and over again. They want something unique and brilliant. This is where post-modern arrive in 1950s but not until 1970s when it is accepted as one of the architectural style. So what's so good about this post-modernism? Robert Venturi call it grey. It's neither black or white, but gray, in between the two. It have little of ornamentation but still unique enough to extract it from modernism.

In my opinion, modernism isn't a bad-ass who controlled the architecture, it just a teacher who want their student (i.e. the building) to be in the same pattern, on the other hand, post-modern is one of the teenagers who doesn't want to be like others. So he tried to blend every thing he learn from the book, history and what his teacher told, and come up with a new idea to show his own identity.

5 points from Le Corbusier

Le Corbusier design a series of house base on dom-ino house as an inexpensive house and quick construction to rebuild a town from a destroyed state. He describe

"So we designed a structural system, a frame, completely independent of the functions of the plan of the house: this frame simply supports the flooring and the staircase…"

This was the pioneering moment in the use of reinforced concrete, the one which from the outset was designed in the broadest perspective of architecture and town-planning. From his repeated efforts to introduce the standardized house and standardized house features, he arrived at his most famous 'Five Points of Architecture' :

1. 1. pilotis raising the house from the ground - to introduce more light and to free the ground space for parking or a garden

1. 2. a roof garden for private exterior space

1. 3. the free plan, facilitated by the skeleton structure, allowing independent interior partitions

1. 4. ribbon windows to improve lighting

1. 5. the free facade, free in the structural sense from the basic skeleton

By using this theory, he endeavored to open up the house, to create new possibilities for connections between its interior and exterior and within the interior itself. His Five Points concept is most purely demonstrated in Villa Savoye, poissy, Seine-et-Oise, France, 1929-3
