Brunelleschi vs Corbusier vs Venturi
For this response I tried to look close at different period and examined how these three period adopt and use history in different ways.
Within last lecture of history of architecture,we were traveled back through time to the period of Renaissance architecture which was began in Florence since C.I420 and developed until C.I770. The main topic is focusing on the pioneer architect of the era “ Filippo Brunelleschi”. His name become famous from his career by putting the finishing touch to Gothic architecture and invented dome of Florence cathedral. This dome which what we can called as a “new” construction technique which done by studied from how the “ Pantheon “ constructed. He apply the knowledge from what he has been extracted from Pantheon and develop to his dome in Florence cathedral. This show how history become significant in order to further develop the a new advance construction method and technology.
Moving on to the next era, where modernism come to play a role after the world war where architecture try to create what is called a new “utopian world”. This era is a void of history, modernism attempt to simplify the richness ornaments in the past and turn them into pure abstract form. But does modernism really reject the idea of bringing back the history ? Le Corbusier, his name is embodied in the name as a great architect of the modern era, but his writing “ Toward a new architecture”; he tried to draw a connection between history and the new industrial age of automobile. Le Corbusier’s work reflect the idea of anthropology where the forms were derived form human proportions.This proportion was evoked since the Greek architecture which the order of the column derived from scale of human proportion , for instance the doric column can be refer to the proportion of men.
In Post-modernism, history become arise again as it played a role against modernism era. History and architecture are combined together in a way to create what we called “ hybrid” architecture. In this case history is being use in different way to how Brunelleschi and Corbusier did in the past. Robert Venturi attempt to extract the history in a conceptual way.He apply it with the technology to create his work of architecture that define himself as an opposition to modern architecture. In this way, history is used to communicate Venturi's languages through architecture.
