Einstein Tower

The Einstein Tower, designed by architect Erich Mendelsohn, was built between 1919 and 1921.
Located in Potsdam, Germany in a science park, it's surrounded by grassy lawn and trees.
The building, a solar observatory, is made of brick covered with cement. It's all curving edges and
undulating forms and seems almost to emerge from the ground below it like some kind of organic or
scientific organism. And that's not an accident because it was made to reflect Einstein's Theory of
Relativity.

The Times Square Building is an Art Deco skyscraper designed by Ralph Thomas Walker of the

firm Voorhees, Gmelin, and Walker located in Rochester, New York, United States. At 260 feet
(79 m), it is the eighth-tallest building in Rochester, with 14 floors. 

The Barcelona Pavilion (Catalan: Pavelló alemany; Spanish: Pabellón alemán; "German Pavilion"),

designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, was the German Pavilion for the 1929
International Exposition in Barcelona, Spain.[1] Aim was to develop a free flowing space and use

least components and that is done by using walls as

planes.

Antoni Gaudí i Cornet (/ˈɡaʊdi/; Catalan: [ənˈtɔni ɣəwˈði]; 25 June 1852 – 10 June 1926) was
a Catalan architect known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism.[3] Gaudí's works have a
highly individualized, sui generis style. Most are located in Barcelona, including his main work, the
church of the Sagrada Família.
Gaudí's work was influenced by his passions in life: architecture, nature, and religion.[4] He
considered every detail of his creations and integrated into his architecture such crafts
as ceramics, stained glass, wrought ironwork forging and carpentry. He also introduced new
techniques in the treatment of materials, such as trencadís which used waste ceramic pieces.

Description
Artist: Antoni Gaudí

"Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the
creator."

Hugo Alvar Henrik Aalto (pronounced [ˈhuɡo ˈɑlʋɑr ˈhenrik ˈɑːlto]; 3 February 1898 – 11 May 1976)
was a Finnish architect and designer.[1] His work includes architecture,
furniture, textiles and glassware, as well as sculptures and paintings. He never regarded himself as
an artist, seeing painting and sculpture as "branches of the tree whose trunk is architecture."[2] Aalto's
early career ran in parallel with the rapid economic growth and industrialization of Finland during the
first half of the 20th century. Many of his clients were industrialists, among them the Ahlström-
Gullichsen family.[3] The span of his career, from the 1920s to the 1970s, is reflected in the styles of
his work, ranging from Nordic Classicism of the early work, to a rational International
Style Modernism during the 1930s to a more organic modernist style from the 1940s onwards.
"God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is at least for me
an abuse of paper."

"We should work for simple, good, undecorated things" and he continues, "but things which are in
harmony with the human being and organically suited to the little man in the street."

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (6 October 1887 – 27 August 1965), known as Le

Corbusier (UK: /lə kɔːrˈbjuːzieɪ/ lə kor-BEW-zee-ay,[2] US: /lə ˌkɔːrbuːˈzjeɪ, -ˈsjeɪ/ lə  KOR-boo-ZYAY,
-SYAY,[3][4] French: [lə kɔʁbyzje]), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner,
writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now regarded as modern architecture. He was born
in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, and he
designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, and North and South America.
Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was
influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture
Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and
contributed specific designs for several buildings there, especially the government buildings.

“Philippine Architecture is an elusive thing, because while it makes full use of modern technology, it is a residue of the different
overlays of foreign influences left in the Philippines over the centuries

Francisco "Bobby" Mañosa (12 February 1931 – 20 February 2019) was a Filipino architect
considered as one of the most influential Filipino architects of the 20th century[1] for having pioneered
the art of Philippine neovernacular architecture.[2] His contributions to the development of Philippine
architecture led to his recognition as a National Artist of the Philippines for Architecture in 2018.[3][4][5]
Although he was popularly known as the architect of the Coconut Palace,[6] his other notable works
include the EDSA Shrine, the Davao Pearl Farm, and Amanpulo resorts.[2][7]
Mañosa devoted his life's work to creating a Filipino identity in architecture, advocating design
philosophies that harken "back to the bahay kubo and the bahay na bato,” and other traditional
vernacular forms. Mañosa became known for combining these traditional forms and indigenous
materials with modern building technology to create structures which he felt were those best suited
to the Philippines' tropical climate.[2]
