Text: STANDARDIZATION, THE SOUL OF THE MACHINEAuthor: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHTYear Written: 1927
Purpose of the theory (Please tick X; you may tick more than one box)
X Identifying an issue or problem within the contemporary contextAnalyzing an architecture to identify a problem or solve a problemSolving an issue in a broader context outside of architecture: presenting a theory/manifesto
X Solving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a design methodSolving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a theoryOthers:
Please complete the following:
What are the issuesaddressed?
- standardized architecture was presumed to be monotonous andrepetitive- reluctancy to understand standardization- fail to realize that regular basis of art lies the primitive principle ofstandardization
What are the designmethods/strategy/theoriesproposed?
- embracing the “machine”, new technology and materials- understanding standardization as a tool intelligently before applying
Relate the text toarchitectural/urban formsby illustrating one keyimage.

Usonian House, Seattle- use of wood and glass in a standardized form yet is able to expressits beauty and enhance aesthetic value

Purpose of the theory (Please tick X; you may tick more than one box)
X Identifying an issue or problem within the contemporary contextAnalyzing an architecture to identify a problem or solve a problemSolving an issue in a broader context outside of architecture: presenting a theory/manifestoSolving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a design methodSolving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a theoryOthers:
Please complete the following:
What are the issuesaddressed?
- ornamention has become less symbolic but rather functional or foradvertisement- form of building are visible but remain secondary to the sign
What are the designmethods/strategy/theoriesproposed?
- put in more thought and time into designing the building as the sign- find a balance between designing building form and sign as symbol
Relate the text toarchitectural/urban formsby illustrating one keyimage.
Justify the selection.
- The sign overpowers the building

Text: THE EYES OF THE SKIN : ARCHITECTURE AND THE SENSESAuthor: JUHANI PALLASMAYear Written: 2005
Purpose of the theory (Please tick X; you may tick more than one box)
Identifying an issue or problem within the contemporary contextAnalyzing an architecture to identify a problem or solve a problemSolving an issue in a broader context outside of architecture: presenting a theory/manifestoSolving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a design methodSolving an issue within the context of architecture: presenting a theory
X Others: Analyzing an architectural theory
Please complete the following:
What are the issuesaddressed?
There is no issue raised in the synopsis text
What are the designmethods/strategy/theoriesproposed?
- The human body as the center of the experiential world- Every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory- Images of presence give rise to images of memory, imaginationand dream- How architecture touches us would be different for every individualas it will arise different memories, imagination and dream. (owninterpretation)
Relate the text toarchitectural/urban formsby illustrating one keyimage.

- Jewish Museum- As we walk through the narrowvoid of 10,000 iron faces, it givesrise to the feeling of cold, fear andterror, expressing the memory of theHolocaust incident- Visual, Sound, Touch
THE EYES OF THE SKINJuhani Pallasma
THE BODY IN THE CENTRE
human body as the centre of the experiential world
bodies and movement in constant interaction with environment
visual images are developed fundamentally from haptic and orientating experience early in life
THE EYES OF THE SKINJuhani Pallasma
MULTI-SENSORY EXPERIENCE
every touching experience of architecture is multi-sensory
all senses, including vision, can be regarded as extensions of the sense of the touch
images of presence give rise to images of memory, imagination and dream
THE TASK OF ARCHITECTURE IS TO MAKE VISIBLEHOW THE WORLD TOUCHES US
THE EYES OF THE SKINJuhani Pallasma
HOW ARCHITECTURE TOUCHES US WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL AS IT WILL
ARISE DIFFERENT MEMORIES, IMAGINATION AND DREAM.

Please complete the following:
What are the issuesaddressed?
- Placelessness resulted from universal technique- Attention to topography, context, climate, light and tectonic form- Emphasize on the experience of senses as potential to withstandglobal modernization (Scenographic)
What are the designmethods/strategy/theoriesproposed?
- Embrace the topography and ‘ Build the site ‘- Contextual to create ‘ Place-conscious poetic’- Prioritize tectonic over scenographic

Falling Water by Frank Lloyd Wright- how it incorporates the waterfall into the building and existing rocksinto the foundation.- spatial framework represent landform and roof suggests forestcanopy- emphasize on the experience of the senses instead of just visual
