influence of Buddhism in Japan grew, the Japanese built many temples and shrines, shaping Japan’s architecture and religious styles of writing and art such as with the rising necessity for creating many Buddha statues and sculptures.
I will be discussing Frank Lloyd Wrights work in depth and how he influenced modernism in America. I picked Wright because I think his vision and passion for design and architecture is reflected in his work. I will be talking about his ‘organic architecture’ and how nature and technology played a part in his work, I’ll talk about this philosophy and how I think he expressed this through his public and private buildings.. I will look into how Wright invited the environment into his designs and houses

Mark Hudson explains ethnogenesis as the ongoing formation of ethnic groups (Hudson). Some of these formations have come out of the political climate in Japan. The Heian period can be used as an example of Japanese artistic achievement
tool for further morphological explorations in the architectural design process. Based on undertaking a data collection exercise with architecture students, origami has proved to be a rich source of inspiration and has found its way into a wide range of design applications. It has even led to the discovery of new forms and methods of construction. Keywords: Architecture; Design; Education; Origami; Paper folding 1.

Postmodernism can be described as “a diverse, unstable concept that has denoted particular aesthetic approaches in literary criticism, art, film, theatre and architecture” (Ghirardo 1996: 7).

what was possible with architecture and in turn became famous around the world. He lived from 1867 to 1959 and in his lifetime developed a distinctively modern style of architecture which rejected the old traditional style of architecture as well as placing an important emphasis on what he called organic architecture.

Art Nouveau was an international style of modern art and promulgated the idea of art and design as part of everyday life, which I will explain in this essay. The aim is to understand and locate an object within a historical context by identifying the characteristics of the style and by writing a formal and contextual analysis of the object, to not only get a beter understanding of the object but the art movement as well. The Industrial Revolution brought about significant economic developments
