Ancient Architecture

Architecture begins not with shelter but with ceremony. The first monumental buildings predate agriculture; they predate writing; in some cases they predate the wheel.

Brutalism

Brutalism is the most aggressively unloved style in the history of modern architecture, and also one of the most photographed. Half its buildings have been demolished or scheduled for it. The other half are listed monuments and Instagram backdrops.

Classical Architecture

For two and a half millennia, "to build well" in the West has meant something close to: build the way the Greeks and Romans built. The argument is not yet over.

Gothic Architecture

Romanesque churches are thick walls with small holes for light. Gothic churches reverse the proposition: thin stone screens framing immense windows. The wall, structurally, dissolves.

Landscape Architecture

Landscape architecture is the only design discipline that improves over decades. A garden completes itself in 30 years; a park reaches its character in 50; a designed forest becomes its imagined self in a century. Most landscape architects never see their best work.

Modernist Architecture

Modernism is the architecture that decided history was over. From roughly 1910 to roughly 1970, an international generation of architects argued that the new materials of industry — steel, glass, reinforced concrete — required a new architectural language without historical reference, applied ornament, or regional inflection. They were partly right and partly catastrophically wrong, and the buildings they made now...

Renaissance & Baroque Architecture

The Renaissance is the rebirth of classical architecture. The Baroque is what classical architecture does once it has stopped being self-conscious about it.

Skyscrapers

A skyscraper is not a tall building. It is a tall building made possible by three specific 19th-century inventions — the steel frame, the safety elevator, and the central HVAC system — that together permitted occupied space to rise hundreds of metres above the ground.

Sustainable Architecture

Buildings are responsible for roughly 37% of global energy-related greenhouse-gas emissions — about 27% from operating energy and 10% from embodied carbon in construction materials. The decarbonisation of architecture is not a sub-discipline; it is the central design problem of the next forty years.

Vernacular Architecture

Vernacular architecture is the architecture of the people who would live in the result. It is built without architects, refined over centuries by trial and adaptation, sourced from local materials, attuned to local climate, and shaped by the social patterns of the community that builds it. Until 1964 it was largely invisible to the discipline of architecture; since then it has been one of the discipline's...
