The original World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City consisted of seven buildings including two landmark twin towers that were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks. The towers were designed in the early 1960s and constructed between 1966-1973, becoming the tallest buildings in the world at the time. On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked two planes and crashed them into the North and South towers, causing both to collapse and killing over 2,600 people. A memorial now stands at the site, known as Ground Zero.

Minoru Yamasaki was an American architect known for his modern designs that emphasized beauty over function. Some of his most prominent works included the World Trade Center, Rainier Tower, and the Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. Yamasaki was influenced by Gothic architecture and strove to create designs with elements of surprise, serenity, and delight through the innovative use of pools, plants, skylights, and intricate materials. Despite designing many tall skyscrapers, Yamasaki had a fear of heights, which led him to incorporate narrow windows and numerous columns in his high-rise designs.MINORU YAMASAKI- A life in architecture (World trade center)

MODERNISM FIRST EMERGED IN THE 1920.THE PROMINENT FIGURES OF THE MOVEMENT ARE LE CORBUSIER ,WALTER GROPIUS AND LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE.
HOWEVER IT WAS NOT UNTIL AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR THAT IT GAINED MASS POPULARITY, AFTER MODERNIST PLANNING WAS IMPLEMENTED AS A SOLUTION TO THE PREVIOUS FAILURE OF ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN TO MEET BASIC SOCIAL NEEDS.
IN THE POST WAR ERA, THE AMBITIONS OF THE MODERNIST AND THEIR STRONG SENSE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IS THAT ARCHITECTURE SHOULD RAISE THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF THE MASSES.
CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERNISM:
THE NOTION THAT "FORM FOLLOW FUNCTION, EXPRESSED BY FLW,S EARLY MENTOR LOUIS SULLIVAN, MEANING THAT THE RESULT OF DESIGN SHOULD DERIVE DIRECTLY FROM ITS PURPOSE.
SIMPLICITY AND CLARITY OF FORMS AND ELIMINATION OF UNNECESSARY DETAIL.
MATERIALS AT GO DEGREES TO EACH OTHER.
VISUAL EXPRESSION OF STRUCTURE (AS OPPOSED TO THE HIDING OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS)
THE RELATED CONCEPT OF TRUTH TO MATERIAL, MEANING THAT THE TRUE NATURE OR NATURAL APPEARANCE OF MATERIAL OUGHT TO BE SEEN RATHER THAN CONCEALED OR ALTERED TO REPRESENT SOMETHING ELSE.
USE OF INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED MATERIALS; ADOPTION OF THE MACHINE AESTHETICS.
PARTICULARLY IN INTERNATIONAL STYLE MODERNISM, A VISUAL EMPHASIS ON HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL LINES.

Postmodern architecture is a reaction and evolution to the modern architecture that came before it. Not only did designers begin to make use of new innovations, but at the same time they appropriated design elements from the past. Buildings became an eclectic mix of old and new as the old "Form follows function" mantra was forgotten. One of the iconic postmodern examples is the Sony Building in New York City.
As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by aesthetics: form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound.
Classic examples of modern architecture are the Lever House and the Seagram Building in commercial space, and the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright or the Bauhaus movement in private or communal spaces.
Transitional examples of postmodern architecture are the Portland Building in Portland, Oregon and the Sony Building in New York City, which borrows elements and references from the past and reintroduces color and symbolism to architecture.

Some key characteristics included prominently displaying technical and functional building components, using steel frames and glass curtain walls. Major architects in the style included Norman Foster, Renzo Piano, and Indian architect Hafeez Contractor. Examples of high-tech buildings discussed include Foster's HSBC building in Hong Kong and Lake Castle residential building in Mumbai designed by Contractor.Chicago Architecture.

Le Corbusier was a pioneering Swiss-French architect who is considered one of the pioneers of modern architecture. Some of his most notable works include the Villa Savoye, which demonstrated his "Five Points of Architecture", and the city of Chandigarh, India, where he designed many government buildings including the Secretariat, High Court, and Assembly Hall. His buildings were characterized by features like pilotis, free facades, open floor plans, ribbon windows, and roof gardens.Deconstruction Ppt

Deconstructive architecture emerged in the 1980s and is characterized by buildings that seem to be composed of abstract, disjointed forms rather than having a coherent visual logic. It was influenced by the ideas of French philosopher Jacques Derrida. Some key examples of deconstructive buildings include Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, known for its curvy forms, and Daniel Libeskind's angular Metal Food Theater Caf辿 in London.

Louis I. Kahn designed the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Ahmedabad, India in the 1960s. The campus features exposed brick architecture with numerous arches and square structures intersected by circles. Kahn conceived of a design that blended austerity and majesty while capturing the spirit of timeless India. The layout enhances interaction through broad corridors, amphitheater-like classrooms, and outdoor spaces. Though rooted in modernism, Kahn's IIM design responded to the local climate and culture through traditional brick construction. The campus remains influential for inspiring excellence and community among generations of students.Architecture in Perspective

The early stages of modern architecture developed from 1850-1900 with the rise of iron and steel frame construction. This allowed for taller, wider buildings like the Eiffel Tower and Crystal Palace. In Chicago, architects pioneered the steel-framed skyscraper like Louis Sullivan, who coined the phrase "form follows function." The Chicago School emphasized plain designs with reduced ornamentation that accelerated the modern aesthetic. Sullivan was influential in developing the modern style through his organic yet geometric designs.Richard meier

Architecture in which the images, ideas, and motifs of the Modern Movement were taken to extremes, structure, technology, and services being grossly over stated at a time when Modernism was being questioned.
In the year 1980s the high tech architecture started to look different from the post modern architecture. Many of the themes and ideas which originated during the post modern times were added to the high tech architecture.
Modern architecture is primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, and it is true that the availability o f new building materials such as iron, steel, and glass drove the invention of new building techniques as part of the Industrial Revolution.

Time Square in New York City has gone through many changes over the years. Originally a rural area with streams, it became the center of the horse carriage industry in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s it was renamed Times Square after the New York Times moved its headquarters there. Throughout the 20th century it went from a thriving entertainment district to a seedy area known for crime and corruption, before being revitalized starting in the 1980s through new development and restoration of historic theaters.Freedom T Ower

Fruits and vegetables are necessary for good health as they contain vitamins that protect against disease. Examples of healthy fruits include oranges, apples, bananas, and strawberries, while vegetables such as corn, carrots, potatoes, and celery are also important. Meat, eggs, milk, and sausages provide protein, fat, and help form bones and teeth. However, fatty foods like chocolate, ice cream, cake, french fries, hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza are considered "junk food" as they contain a lot of fat and can lead to obesity, heart problems, and poor diet if consumed too often.

Anorexiamagiequ

Anorexia is a severe eating disorder where individuals see themselves as fat in the mirror even though their perception is altered and they see the opposite of reality. It affects more women than men and typically develops at an earlier age, and is becoming more frequent over time. There are clinics and hospital centers that treat people with anorexia, and it is recommended to consult a specialist if any food disorder alarms arise before a problem develops. This disease only affects people who worry too much about their weight and become obsessed with slimming down, which can result in them stopping eating even when hungry. Untreated eating disorders can become more complicated to recover from over time as other vital organs become compromised.27228288 webquest-ana-8-6
