LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM

THE CRYSTAL PALACE WAS DESIGN BY JOSEPH PAXTON, NOT

AN ARCHITECT BUT A GARDENER. THE STRUCTURE WAS
PREFABRICATED, ASSEMBLED ONSITE AND UTILIZED LARGE
QUANTITIES OF IRON AND GLASS- WHICH IS, IN A WAY, SIMILAR
TO MANY MODERN BUILDINGS TOO.

STEEL

GLASS

A COMMERCIAL BUILDING

GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE DURING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION SHOWED HOW BIG THE IMPACT OF IT IN
THE ARCHITECTURE WORLD IS. IT HAD BECOME A GAME-CHANGER, SPECIFICALLY WITH THE MATERIALS THAT WERE USED
BEFORE. THE FORGED IRON AND MILLED STEEL BEGAN TO REPLACE WOOD, BRICK, AND STONE AS PRIMARY MATERIALS
FOR LARGE BUILDINGS AND SKYSCRAPERS.

APPLYING THIS IN THE PRESENT TIME, WHERE THE POPULATION IS GETTING HIGHER, STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ESPECIALLY IN COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS. THERE IS NO OTHER MATERIAL AS VERSATILE AS STEEL
FOR USE IN SUCH APPLICATIONS. ONE OF THE RAREST MATERIALS WHICH HAS EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH
WHICH MAKES IT APPROPRIATE TO BEAR/ SUPPORT THE LOAD OF LARGE CONSTRUCTION.

“NO FANCY TYPES OF ARCHITECTURE, JUST PLAIN ARCHITECTURE THAT WAS CREATED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
FACILITY WORKED EFFICIENTLY”. THIS PHRASE HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE OF FUNCTION IN ARCHITECTURE. ASIDE FROM
AESTHETICS, GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE DURING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FOCUSED ENTIRELY ON HOW TO
DESIGN EFFICIENT SPACES, WHICH FOR ME, SHOULD BE APPLIED ALSO TO THE PRESENT TIMES.

TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES, EXPOSED METAL BEAMS IN COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS HIGHLY CREATE AESTHETICS AND ARE ALSO USED AS REINFORCEMENT MATERIAL. CEMENT IS ALSO ONE OF THE
MOST COMMON CONSTRUCTION INGREDIENTS AMONG OTHERS IS ITS ABILITY TO HOLD STRUCTURE TOGETHER. GLASS AND
IRON COMPLETES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A MODERN BUILDING AND I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST INFLUENCES
FROM THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION. THIS DOES NOT ONLY ADD TO THE BEAUTIFICATION OF THE BUILDINGS IN THE PRESENT
TIMES, BUT ALSO FOR THE EFFICIENT USE OF ITS PEOPLE.

HOW DID YOU OVERCOME OBSTACLES IN THE EFFORT TO BETTER

REPRESENT YOUR INSIGHTS ON THE GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
DURING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION FOR THE COMPLETION OF THIS
COURSEWORK?

PART 4

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES WHEN I DO COURSEWORKS IS NOT THAT EASY. MANAGING THE TIME FOR
PRIORITIES ESPECIALLY IN DECIDING WHAT I SHOULD DO FIRST. CREATING AN ARTWORK TAKES TIME, AND I
AM NOT THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO BELIEVES IN THE SAYING THAT "LESS IS MORE". IT COULD MEAN A LOT OF
THINGS BUT LESS IS MORE IF IT IS RIGHT TO BE LESS.

DOING COURSEWORKS SHOULD BE AN EFFORT, OR ELSE I CAN PROBABLY RECEIVE A "LESS GRADE".
THAT IS WHY I DO NOT USE THIS PHRASE IN MY STUDIES. HAVING A POSITIVE MIND IS ALSO ONE, AND OF
COURSE ENJOYING IT. I ENJOYED WATCHING DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT ARCHITECTURE AND ITS HISTORY. IT'S
FUN AND AT THE SAME TIME, INFORMATIVE.

THESE MINDSETS ALLOWED ME TO EXPRESS THOROUGHLY MY INSIGHTS ABOUT THE TOPIC. AT

FIRST, I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GONNA FINISH AND SUBMIT THIS ON TIME. BUT HERE IT IS! I AM HAPPY THAT
AT MY FIRST COURSEWORK, I AM SATISFIED WITH THE OUTCOME OF MY WORK. AND HOPING THAT THIS IS
HOW PRODUCTIVE I AM GONNA BE THROUGHOUT THE ACADEMIC YEAR.
