Neo-futurism• Neo-futurism is a late 20th–early 21st century movement in the arts, design,

and architecture. It is a departure from the cynical attitude of post-modernism and represents an idealistic belief in a better future and "a need to periodize the modern rapport with the technological".

• This avant-garde movement is a futuristic rethinking of the aesthetic and functionality of rapidly growing cities.

•  The industrialization that began worldwide following the end of the Second World War gave wind to new streams of thought in life, art and architecture, leading to post-modernism, neo-modernism and then neo-futurism.

• In the Western countries, futurist architecture evolved into Art Deco, the Googie movement and high-tech architecture, and finally into Neo-Futurism.

• Neo-futuristic urbanists, architects, designers and artists believe in cities releasing emotions, driven by eco-sustainability, ethical values and implementing new materials and new technologies to provide a better quality of life for city-dwellers.

• Neo-futurism has absorbed sоme оf the high-tech architecture’s themes аnd ideas, incorporating elements оf high-tech industry аnd technology іntо building design: technology and context is the focus of some architects of this movement such as Buckminster Fuller, Norman Foster, Kenzo Tange, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Frei Otto, and Santiago Calatrava.

HSB Turning Torso, Malmo, Sweden

Exterior view

• It is a solid immobile building constructed in nine segments of five-story pentagons that twist relative to each other as it rises

• The topmost segment is twisted 90 degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor

• Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior steel framework.

• The two bottom segments are intended as office space.

Segments three to nine house 147 apartments

• Floor 53 and 54 in the Turning Torso are conference floors booked and managed by Turning Torso Meetings.

Tropical Modernism

• Geoffrey Bawa explored modernism and its cultural implications and created a unique style of design which had a lasting impact on architect’s across the world .

• Bawa was one of the original proponents of tropical modernism, a design movement in which sensitivity for local context combines with form making principles of modernism.

• Bawa’s architecture led to the formation of a new architectural identity and aesthetic for many tropical environment

• Deshamanya Geoffrey Manning Bawa was born on 23 july 1919 in Srilanka.

• Educated at Royal College and Middle Temple, London and became a Lawyer.

• Studied architecture in Architectural Association, London in 1956

• In 1957, at the age of 38 , returned to Sri Lanka qualified as an architect to take over Reid's practice.

• He said.. A building can only be understood by moving around and through it and by experiencing the modulation and feel the spaces one moves through- from the outside into verandah, than rooms, passages, courtyards. Architecture cannot be totally explained but must be experienced

Geoffrey Bawa

His Beliefs

•Highly personal in his approach, evoking the pleasures of the senses that go hand in hand with the climate, landscape, and culture of ancient Ceylon(Present day Sri Lanka).

•Brings together an appreciation of the Western humanist tradition in architecture with needs and lifestyles of his own country.

•The principal force behind TROPICAL MODERNISM.

He is the most renowned architect in Sri Lanka and was among the most influential Asian architects of his generation.

• The new Sri Lankan Parliament is an asymmetric group of colonnaded pavilions with striking copper roofs ‘floating’ on a man-made lake.

• The approach is along a causeway and across a forecourt.

• The chamber, the focus of power, lies within the main pavilion with balconies and galleries rising three storeys. The tiered terraces below hold administrative and committee offices. Other pavilions accommodate rooms of varying functions.

• Traditional wood and stone columns, reminiscent of ancient palaces and temples, support the stately copper roofs.

• The Parliamentary complex is Bawa’s most symbolic work, conceptualized as movements through spaces, resulting in the asymmetrical configuration.

Sustainable Architecture

• Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.

• Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment.

• The term "sustainable architecture" is used for the first time in 1998, from A. Trivelli instead of "green building" or "sustainable construction" or "baubiologie".

• The idea of sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit the opportunities of future generations.

• Energy efficiency over the entire life cycle of a building is the most important goal of sustainable architecture. Architects use many different passive and active techniques to reduce the energy needs of buildings and increase their ability to capture or generate their own energy. One of the keys to exploit local environmental resources and influence energy-related factors such as daylight, solar heat gains and ventilation is the use of site analysis.

• Born and raised in Amritsar , in the family of the steel industrialist

• In 1961, went to study engineering IIT Delhi and dropped within a year.

• Joined department of architecture with J A Stein. With him he explored the working of hyperbolic paraboloids.

• Went to study architecture at SPA Delhi.

• During the time immediately after college, he worked a lot with wood and was known as carpenter laul.

• Influenced by his father, he developed interest in steel structure

Anil Laul

• A simple yet splendid roofing system using natural materials.

• Furnicular shells can take any shape square, rectangle, trapezium, etc.

• The funicular shell roof is one such compression structure which ensures conservation of natural resources by utilising waste materials effectively and optimizing the use of expensive steel and cement.

• The arch distributes the point load in all directions equally and is able to withstand impact loading at any point

• He promotes Lakhori and Nanakshahi bricks and criticises british and modular
