Technologies in modern architecture
Modern technological
innovations, smart materials, new construction technology, movable ingredient
and remote control structures have led to many developments and numerous
imitations. Technical inventions seem to be the point of departure for a new
sequence of ideas. Industrial achievements, High tech and contemporary details
have flexibility and changeability of forms, and point to a dynamic-active
condition. The moving components of buildings give a unity of expressions to
the design procedure. At the present time, buildings display distinguished
facades and features. Stadiums, Bridges, Museums, Stations, etc, have obtained
a technological identity.

Technology creates new
forms and
new shapes of materials,
Technology
creates new forms and new shapes of
materials, constructions and presents a new architectural style based on these
new forms. This architectural style is very different from previous generations
in form parameters and visionary models. Ultimately, nowadays architecture has
its unique characteristics which are derived from the latest and most developed
instruments. A new wave of architectural projects in the world has brought back
the question of aesthetics and technology. Although the aesthetics of handmade
is base, technology appears as a generative force in new aesthetic explorations
and qualities in buildings. It is important to note that the technical elements
on show to create the industrial aesthetic are not purely there for aesthetic
purposes as well.
Technology and Aesthetics:
On the other hand, the industrial
Revolution made possible new forms in architecture, although
some critics might call them
engineering rather than art. The development of new kinds of architecture
was advanced by the use of iron,
steel and later concrete. In about 1855 Henry Bessemer invented a
new method of making steel in
quantity so that it could be used profitably for large building
components . The most important
movement in appearing new architectural style was increasing
used of glazing in 20th century
buildings.
Science
and technology has a profound impact on all of humanity’s activities. Science and technology inventions and discoveries, including the theory of the origin of the universe, the theory of evolution, and the discovery of genes, have given
humanity many hints relating
to human existence from civilized
and cultural points of view. Science and technology have had an immeasurable
influence on the formation of our understanding of the world, our view of
society, and our outlook on nature.
