1.What is Architecture? At least 3 meaning with references.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Architecture(Latinarchitectura, from the Greek arkhitekton,from- "chief" and"builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process

and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in

the material form ofbuildings, are often perceived as cultural and political

symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with

their surviving architectural achievements.

"Architecture" can mean:

The art and science ofdesign and erecting buildings and other physical

structures.

A general term to describe buildings and other infrastructures.

A style and method of design and construction of buildings and other

physical structures.

The practice of an architect, where architecture means to offer or render

professional services in connection with the design and construction of a

building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding

the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or

use.[1]

Design activity, from the macro-level (urban design, landscape

architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture).

The term "architecture" has been adopted to describe the activity of

designing any kind of system, and is commonly used in

describing information technology.

In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing

and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical,

social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative

manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow.

Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings

and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction

administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically

drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines

The meaning must take into account certain things in order to represent

architecture. They may include, in reference to a candidate for a piece of

architecture: it must be material, it must transcend mere function, it must be

aesthetic and it must be designed by an architect. But taking a quick look at

this, small arguments arise that challenge the validity of these claims.

2. Enumerate the types of Architectural construction and

materials used.

Neolithic or "stone age"architecture includes some of theoldest known structures made by humankind. Neolithic cultures aredistinguished from earlier Paleolithic and Mesolithic structures by thedomestication of plants and animals, and extensive making and use of

stone tools.

Neolithic cultures have been shown to have existed in southwest Asia as earlyas 8000 b.c. to 6000 b.c., and Neolithic cultures had existed around the globeby 1500 b.c. By 3500 b.c., Neolithic cultures in the Tigris and Euphrates river

valleys in the Middle East had developed into Bronze Age urban civilizations.

Modern concepts of architecture

The great 19th century architect of skyscrapers,Louis Sullivan, promoted an

overriding precept to architectural design: "Form follows function".

While the notion that structural and aesthetic considerations should be entirely

subject to functionality was met with both popularity and skepticism, it had the effect

of introducing the concept of "function" in place of Vitruvius' "utility". "Function"

came to be seen as encompassing all criteria of the use, perception and enjoyment of

abuilding, not only practical but also aesthetic, psychological and cultural.

Nunzia Rondanini stated, "Through its aesthetic dimension architecture goes beyond

the functional aspects that it has in common with other human sciences. Through its

own particular way of expressingvalues, architecture can stimulate and influence

social life without presuming that, in and of itself, it will promote social development.'

To restrict the meaning of (architectural) formalism to art for art's sake is not only

reactionary; it can also be a purposeless quest for perfection or originality which

degrades form into a mere instrumentality".[9]

Among the philosophies that have influenced modern architects and their approach to

building design arerationalism,empiricism,structuralism,poststructuralism,

andphenomenology.

In the late 20th century a new concept was added to those included in the compass of

both structure and function, the consideration ofsustainability. To satisfy the

contemporary ethos a building should be constructed in a manner which isenvironmentally friendly in terms of the production of its materials, its impact upon the

natural and built environment of its surrounding area and the demands that it makes

upon non-sustainable power sources for heating, cooling, water and waste management

andlighting.

Origins and vernacular architecture

Building first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (shelter, security, worship, etc.) and means

(availablebuilding materialsand attendant skills). As human cultures developed and knowledge beganto be formalized through oral traditions and practices, building became acraft, and "architecture"

is the name given to the most highly formalized and respected versions of that craft.

It is widely assumed that architectural success was the product of a process of trial and error, with

progressively less trial and more replication as the results of the process proved increasingly

satisfactory. What is termedvernacular architecturecontinues to be produced in many parts of the

world. Indeed, vernacular buildings make up most of the built world that people experience every

day. Early human settlements were mostlyrural. Due to a surplus in production the economy began

to expand resulting in urbanization thus creatingurban areaswhich grew and evolved very rapidly insome cases, such as that ofatal HykinAnatoliaandMohenjo Daroof the Indus Valley

Civilization in modern-dayPakistan.

Vernacular architecture inNorway

Ancient architecture

In many ancient civilizations, such as that of Egypt and Mesopotamia, architecture and urbanism

reflected the constant engagement with the divine and thesupernatural, and many ancient cultures

resorted to monumentality in architecture to represent symbolically the political power of the ruler,

the ruling elite, or the state itself.

The architecture andurbanismof theClassical civilizationssuch as theGreekand

theRomanevolved from civic ideals rather than religious or empirical ones and new building types

emerged. Architectural styles developed.

Texts on architecture have been written since ancient time. These texts provided both general

advice and specific formal prescriptions or canons. Some examples of canons are found in the

writings of the 1st-century BCE Roman military engineerVitruvius, the Kao Gong Jiof

ancientChina[Notes 1]andVaastu Shastraof ancientIndiaandManjusri Vasthu Vidya SastraofSri

Lanka. Some of the most important early examples of canonic architecture are religious.

Asian architecture

The architecture of different parts ofAsiadeveloped along different lines from that of Europe;

Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh architecture each having different characteristics. Buddhist

architecture, in particular, showed great regional diversity. In manyAsiancountries a pantheisticreligion led to architectural forms that were designed specifically to enhance thenatural landscape.

Kinkaku-ji(Golden Pavilion),Kyoto, JapanIslamic architecture

Islamic architecturebegan in the 7th centuryCE, incorporating a blend of architectural forms

from the ancientMiddle EastandByzantium, but also developing features to suit the religious

and social needs of the society. Examples can be found throughout the Middle East, NorthAfrica, Spain and the Indian Sub-continent. The widespread application of the pointed arch

was to influence European architecture of the Medieval period.

The medieval builder

Notre Dame de Paris,France

InEurope, in both theClassicalandMedievalperiods, buildings were not often attributed to

specific individuals and the names of architects remain frequently unknown, despite the vastscale of the many religious buildings extant from this period.

During the Medieval periodguildswere formed by craftsmen to organize their trade and

written contracts have survived, particularly in relation to ecclesiastical buildings. The role of

architect was usually one with that of master mason, or Magister lathomorumas they are

sometimes described in contemporary documents.

Renaissance and the architect

La Rotonda(1567),ItalybyPalladio

With theRenaissanceand its emphasis on the individual and humanity rather than religion, and

with all its attendant progress and achievements, a new chapter began. Buildings were ascribed

to specific architects Brunelleschi,Alberti,Michelangelo,Palladio and the cult of the

individual had begun.

There was still no dividing line betweenartist,architectandengineer, or any of the related

vocations, and the appellation was often one of regional preference. At this stage, it was still

possible for an artist to design a bridge as the level of structural calculations involved was

within the scope of the generalist.

Modernism and reaction of architecture

Main article:Modern architecture

TheBauhausDessau architecture department from 1925 byWalter Gropius

The dissatisfaction with such a general situation at the turn of the twentieth century gave rise

to many new lines of thought that served as precursors toModern Architecture. Many

architects felt that buildings had become overly decorated and burdened with various styles

that they could no longer be honest to the function. They felt that architecture should not be

an accumulation of past traditions but that it should be adapted toward the common man. The

Modernists wanted buildings that were beautiful not in overwelming decoration but beautiful

in simplicity Notable among these is theDeutscher Werkbund, formed in 1907 to produce

better quality machine made objects. The rise of the profession ofindustrial designis usually

placed here. Following this lead, theBauhausschool, founded inWeimar,Germanyin 1919,

redefined the architectural bounds prior set throughouthistory, viewing the creation of a

building as the ultimate synthesisthe apexof art, craft, and technology. The Bauhaus is

credited as one of the birthplaces of the modernist movement. Many notable artists, designers,

and architects taught at the Bauhaus such asMies van der Rohe,Marcel Breuer, andWalter

Gropius. After the outbreak ofWorld War II, the Bauhaus was closed by the Nazis. As a

result, many of the teachers and students fled to other countries and spread their ideas.

WhenModern architecturewas first practiced, it was anavant-gardemovement with moral,

philosophical, and aesthetic underpinnings. Immediately afterWorld War I, pioneering

modernist architects sought to develop a completely new style appropriate for a new post-warsocial and economic order, focused on meeting the needs of the middle and working classes.

They rejected the architectural practice of the academic refinement of historical styles which

served the rapidly declining aristocratic order. The approach of the Modernist architects was

to reduce buildings to pure forms, removing historical references and ornament in favor of

functionalist details. Buildings displayed their functional and structural elements, exposing

steel beams and concrete surfaces instead of hiding them behind decorative forms.

TheCrystal Cathedral,California, byPhilip Johnson(1980)

Architects such asMies van der Rohe,Philip JohnsonandMarcel Breuerworked to create

beauty based on the inherent qualities of building materials and modern construction

techniques, trading traditional historic forms for simplified geometric forms, celebrating the

new means and methods made possible by theIndustrial Revolution, including steel-frame

construction, which gave birth to high-rise superstructures. By mid-century, Modernism hadmorphed into theInternational Style, an aesthetic epitomized in many ways by the Twin Towers

of New York'sWorld Trade Center.

Many architects resisted Modernism, finding it devoid of the decorative richness of

ornamented styles and as the founders of that movement lost influence in the late

1970s,Postmodernismdeveloped as a reaction against its austerity. Postmodernism viewed

Modernism as being too extreme and even harsh in regards to design. Instead, Postmodernists

combined Modernism with older styles from before the 1900's to form a middle ground. Robert

Venturi's contention that a "decorated shed" (an ordinary building which is functionallydesigned inside and embellished on the outside) was better than a "duck" (an ungainly building in

which the whole form and its function are tied together) gives an idea of this approach.

Part of the architectural profession, and also some non-architects, responded

toModernismandPostmodernismby going to what they considered the root of the problem.

They felt that architecture was not a personal philosophical or aesthetic pursuit by

individualists; rather it had to consider everyday needs of people and use technology to give a

livable environment.

The Design Methodology Movementinvolving people such asChristopher Alexanderstarted

searching for more people-oriented designs. Extensive studies on areas such as behavioral,

environmental, and social sciences were done and started informing the design process. As the

complexity of buildings began to increase (in terms of structural systems, services, energy and

technologies), architecture started becoming more multi-disciplinary. Architecture today

usually requires a team of specialist professionals, with the architect being one of many,

although usually the team leader.

Green roof planted with native species at L'Historial de la Vende, a new museum in westernFrance

Starting in the 1980s and into the new millennium, the field of architecture saw the rise of

specializations for each project type, technological expertise or project delivery methods. In

addition, there has been an increased separation of the 'design' from the 'project'

architect. The main reason for the shift is because architecture has become much more

complicated. Architecture has become more than just building but has morphed into an

extensive process involving durability, quality, money, and compliance to local laws. Every detail

must be taken into account by the architecture firm. A great structure can no longer be the

design of one person but must be the work of many.

Moving the issues of environmentalsustainabilityinto the mainstream is a significant

development in the architecture profession. Within the past several decades, architects have

realized that buildings must take into account their effect upon the environment. Major

examples of this can be found in greener roof designs, biodegradable materials,and more

attention to a structure's energy usage. This major shift in architecture has also changed

architecture schools to focus more the environment. Sustainability in architecture was

pioneered in the 1960s by architects such asBuckminster Fuller,Frank Lloyd Wright,Sim Van

3. Describe the Philippine architecture and famous Filipino

Architects.

Thearchitectureof thePhilippinesis a reflection of the history and heritage of the country.The most prominent historic constructions in the archipelago are from

theSpanish,Japanese,Malay,Hindu,Chinese, and American cultures.

The pre-colonial architecture of the Philippines consisted of the Nipa hut made from natural

materials but there are some traces of large-scale construction before the Spanish colonizers

came but not well documented. An example of this is the pre-colonial walled city of Maynilad

although later after the Spanish colonization, dismantled by the Spaniards and rebuilt as

Intramuros. There are also other minor pre-colonial walled cities like Betis and Macabebe.

During three hundred years of Spanish colonialization the philippine architecture was

dominated by the Spanish culture. During this period Intramuros, the walled city, of Manila,

was built with its walls, houses, churches and fortresses. The Augustinian friars built a large

number of grand churches all over the Philippine Islands.

During this period the traditional Filipino "Bahay na Bato" style for the large mansion emerged.

These were large houses built of stone and wood combining Filipino, Spanish and Chinese style

elements. The best preserved examples of these houses can be found in Vigan, Ilocos Sur and

Taal, Batangas.

After the Spanish American war the architecture of the Philippines was dominated by the

American style. In this period the plan for the modern city of Manila was designed, with a large

number of art deco buildings, by famous American and Filipino architects. During the

liberation of Manila by the Americans in 1945 large portions of Intramuros and Manila were

destroyed. In the period after the second world war many of the destroyed buildings were

rebuilt.

At the end of the 20th century modern architecture with straight lines and functional aspects

was introduced. During this period many of the older structures fell into decay. Early in the

21st Century a revival of the respect for the traditional Filipino elements in the architecture

returned.

Famous Filipino Architects

There are many great Filipino Architects but the following are among the Famous

Filipino Architects who was recogrnized as the National Artists of the Philippines for

their best and exceptional works:

Pablo Antonio -The facade of the main building of the Far Eastern University,

designed by Pablo Antonio in the late 1930s.

Juan Nakpil- He designed the International Eucharistic Congress altar and improved

the Quiapo Church in 1930.

Leandro Locsin- Church of the Holy Sacrifice, Cultural Center of the Philippines,

Philippine International Convention Center, Istana Nurul Iman.

Francisco Maosa- He designed The Coconut Palace.

4. What is music, and the main properties of music?

Medium and Elements of music

Music is anartform whosemediumissoundand silence. Common elements of musicarepitch(which governsmelodyandharmony),rhythm(and its associated

conceptstempo,meter, andarticulation),dynamics, and the sonic qualities

oftimbreandtexture. The word derives fromGreek(mousike; "art of

theMuses").[1]

The creation,performance, significance, and even thedefinition of musicvary

according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized

compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music

toaleatoricforms. Music can be divided intogenresandsubgenres, although thedividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open

to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts", music

may be classified as aperforming art, afine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong

connection betweenmusic and mathematics.

To many people in many cultures, music is an important part of their way of life.Greek

philosophersandancient Indian philosophersdefined music as tones ordered

horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the

harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is

often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composerJohn

Cagethought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is nonoise, only

sound."[2]MusicologistJean-Jacques Nattiezsummarizes the relativist, post-modern

viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally definedwhich

implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the

same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is

no singleand interculturaluniversal concept defining what music might be."

Four Properties of Music Notes

Sheet music records the language of music.

Music has been considered a universal language with much of its makeup based in mathwhile at the same time having the ability to evoke a wide range of individual emotionsbased on style and the person playing. Music of all types is made up of individual noteswhich display four main properties.

Note Nameso Notes are assigned one of seven letters ranging from A through G. Typically a musician

uses middle C as a reference for all other notes available on an instrument. From middle C,the notes progress in alphabetical order until G, after which the notes go back to A andcontinue progressing to G. This sequence continues all the way up the scale, or reversewhen heading down the scale.

16/19

Pitch

o Pitch is another property of a musical note. Pitch consists of a perceived frequency ofsound. The higher you progress up a scale, the faster the frequency vibrates, and thehigher the pitch of the note becomes. The lower you progress down the scale, the slower

the frequency vibrates, resulting in a lower sounding pitch.

Length

o The length of the note is a property that contributes to rhythm. The most common lengthsfor notes are whole, half, quarter, eight and sixteenth notes, which are held for varyingamounts of time depending on the time signature of a piece of music. Shorter notes aredefined by how short they are compared to a whole note. Lengths can be extremely longthrough the use of ties, or can be as short as a thirty-second note or less.

Dynamic

o Notes can also contribute different properties based on dynamics. Dynamics measure howloud or soft a note is played. The most common dynamics for a note range from soft or"piano" referred to by the letter "p," to loud or "forte" portrayed by the letter "f." The mostcommon dynamics are piano "p," mezzo piano "mp," mezzo forte "mf," and forte "f."Dynamics can be louder or softer than these with the softest being pianississimo "ppp," andthe loudest note being fortississimo "fff."

Music is an art form whose medium is sound

Common elements of music include

Pitch, rythym, tempo and dynamics

Rythym, tempo, dynamics

Music can be divided into genres and subgenres

Although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle

Sometimes open to individual interpretation

And occasionally controversial

At the highest "level" of compositional thinking a composerbegins a composition with Four areas of composition that mustbe determined: (1) the instrumental and/or vocal combinationsthat will be employed (media), (2) the basic model of compositionthat will be used throughout the work (genre), (3) the large andsmall sectional units of the composition including in some casesthe entire composition (form) and (4) The (texture(s) of the work.

These areas constitute the Four Combinational Operations ofMusic. These "operations" are what a composer determinesbefore any specific music making begins. Once these aredetermined, the work with the Eight Basic Elements and the

Three Foundational Procedures begins and the FourCombinational Operations become a "road map" for thecomposer's general use.The term medium (pl. media) in music refers to the type ofperforming ensemble that is selected for a given work. There arethree general categories of Western performing ensembles - (1)instrumental, (2) vocal and (3) mixed vocal and instrumental.Under each general category below there are sub-categories.

Below is a list of the general categories and sub-categories ofperformance media found in Western music: Large ensembles areknown appropriately as "large" ensembles while small ensemblesare known as "chamber" groups. Music for one solo player (withor without keyboard or guitar accompaniment) is known as "sololiterature".

5. Give the essence of music.

Music-isnt that something which is so close to all of our hearts. I just cant imagine lifewithout something so important. Though you may not realize there is some part of you cravingfor music every time, but the only thing is that most of us suppress it. In todays modern worldof rushing and hurrying music always proves to be an ideal stress buster.Music is one of the very few things which qualify among the things that I always keep close tomy heart. While writing, while playing or while doing any damn thing I hum to myself (though notduring lectures or classes as I am sure Ill be butchered if I hum when someone isteaching).Through experience I have found that music when it is playing in the background orwhen you are enjoying it helps you to be focused on your work.Music is something which just cant be discarded or disowned. Music belongs to everyone andit plays a vital part in ones character formation. Those who dont have time to spare forcrooning or listening to melodies are often found to be gloomy, dull and short tempered. Onthe other hand music lovers are often those who are the most loved in gatherings and are verycheerful.Music will indubitably help us to transform into hip, fun loving teens.

Music is a very colorful thread woven into the entire fabric of our lives. Soon after birthwe hear our first melodies as our mothers hum soothing lullabies to help us sleep. Welearnnursery rhymesthat are designed to both entertain and educate us in our preschoolyears, which help build the framework for the social and language skills we need tofunction in society.6. Describe the History of Music.

Music history, sometimes called historical musicology, is the highly diverse subfield ofthe broader discipline ofmusicologythat studies the composition, performance,

reception, and criticism ofmusicovertime. Historical studies of music are for

example concerned with a composer's life and works, the developments of styles and

genres (such as baroque concertos), the social function of music for a particular

group of people (such as music at the court), or the modes of performance at aparticular place and time (such as the performance forces of Johann Sebastian Bach's

choir in Leipzig).

In theory, "music history" could refer to the study of the history of any type or genre

of music (e.g., the history ofIndian musicor the history ofrock). In practice, these

research topics are nearly always categorized as part ofethnomusicologyorcultural

studies, whether or not they areethnographically based.

The methods of music history include source studies

(esp.manuscriptstudies),paleography,philology(especiallytextual criticism), style

criticism, historiography (the choice ofhistorical method),musical analysis,

andiconography. The application of musical analysis to further these goals is often a

part of music history, though pure analysis or the development of new tools of music

analysis is more likely to be seen in the field ofmusic theory. (For a more detailed

discussion of the methods see the section on "Research in Music History" below) Some

of the intellectual products of music historians include editions of musical

works,biographyof composers and other musicians, studies of the relationship

betweenwordsand music, and the reflections upon the place of music insociety.
