  Futuristic Architecture would also be arcology based so more than just one type of facility would be in every building(e.g: restaurant, work, entertainment).]]> 2022-07-10 04:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240320822 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240324974 modernist architecture typically uses a steel frame and a lot of glass to let in sunlight]]> 2022-07-10 04:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240324974 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240326544 residential buildings in eastern bloc nations during the cold war(e.g: china, russia), they are typically constructed with concrete and steel.  Commie blocks are typically prefabricated inside large factories.  They were a product of the circumstance in the USSR, Eastern Europe and Asia where they were ravaged by scorched earth tactics and decades of war, they largely solved the housing crisis in the communist/socialist nations that built them. ]]> 2022-07-10 04:38:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240326544 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240573454 Colonial architecture is built around the world by the Major nations of Western Europe(UK, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany to a limited extent), they are typically made using wood or plaster with a large and luxurious interior(Grand staircases, crystal chandeliers) with a large garden but simplified for the common folks version exist, they eventually developed into modern housing in Nations considered western.]]> 2022-07-11 00:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2240573454 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2305841976 Colonial Architecture is a symbol of wealth for Europeans in colonies, 

Historical Context:
The Europeans had a very clear system of hierarchy so one can just look at a house and tell whether the inhabitant is higher up or lower down the social ladder.  Late colonial also started to feature a drainage system.

Physical Context:
Most areas that are colonized are "supposedly" underdeveloped and uncivilized so the colonizers, the settlers chopped down trees and opened up mines to build their houses.

Caves are cold, wet and overall uncomfortable, they are also not very well insulated so a malfunction overall, they are later used as storage because of how they are always kept at a constant and relatively low temperature.]]> 2022-09-27 22:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2316403068 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2322375047 Commie blocks became a trend after 1945 as a societal development in the Eastern Bloc.  The Eastern Bloc was hit the worst by Germany's scorched earth policies and even before the war people lived in medieval conditions.  The commie blocks were designed to solve the housing crisis, raise the living standards and they also allowed a sense of community develop between people.

Product vs Systems:
commie blocks are first invented to create cheap housing but grouping them together actually allowed for easy city planning]]> 2022-10-02 03:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2322375047 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2351929736 Malfunctions:
Medieval housing lacked a suitable drainage system so the streets are often not very hygienic.  Many medieval houses also lacked proper planning so the interiors may not always be pleasing to the eye and also lacked glass windows.]]> 2022-10-22 21:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2351929736 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2352837353 Societal development:
Built upon the idea of simplicity and image culture(more emphasis on outlook than on practicality), they are typically used as office buildings, hotels and these are the buildings which end up becoming the crowning jewels of a city]]> 2022-10-24 02:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2352837353 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2352893646 Mudbricks are prone to damage in rain, wind and thatched roofs are prone to rotting, Mould and discolourization.

Because of how easy these houses are to build, people would occasionally still use them to store things]]> 2022-10-24 03:04:27 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2352893646 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2353172563 Physical Nature, Functional Nature:

Materials:
Carbon nanotubes will be used for constructing the buildings as they have extremely high density, carbon nanotubes also have superconductive properties if coated with copper and titanium which can cut down energy use

Colours:
White and turquoise will be the primary choices with a tad of navy blue as shown in concept arts

Interiors:
Futurist architecture is supposedly utopian so buildings are self sufficient with its own shopping mall, power plant and water supply but people will still need to leave the building to go to larger entertainment areas.]]> 2022-10-24 07:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2353174777 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2356194973 2022-10-25 21:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2356194973 tomxuyixu https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2356198017 2022-10-25 21:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tomxuyixu/qehgaaorwm3yfbsa/wish/2356198017
