This Presentation is a Small Book about High-tech Architecture.

2. An architectural style is
characterized by:
the features that make a building
or other structure notable or
historically identifiable.
It includes elements such as:
1- form
2- method of construction
3- building material
4- regional character.
What
“architectural style”
means ?

3. The architectural style changes
according to:
-Time:
such as post-modernism
(meaning "after modernism")
-Place:
For instance, Renaissance ideas
emerged in Italy around 1425 and
spread to all of Europe over the
next 200 years, with the French,
Belgian, German, English,
and Spanish Renaissances showing
recognizably the same style, but
with unique characteristics.

4. DEFINITION
High-tech architecture,
also known as:
- Late Modernism
- Structural Expressionism
is an architectural style that
emerged in the, incorporating
elements of high-tech industry and
technology into building design.

5. At the beginning of the 20th
century ,as technology has
greatly evolved, new materials
and modern equipment started to
be used in the construction
industry.
Thus born a new architectural
design developed using advanced
technology, known as
high-tech

6. High-tech architecture appeared as
a revamped modernism, an
extension of those previous ideas
aided by even more advances in
technological achievements.
This category serves as a bridge
between modernisms and post-
modernism, however there remain
gray areas as to where one
category ends and the other
begins. ( Overlapping )
In the 1980s, high-tech
architecture became more difficult
to distinguish from post-modern
architecture.

7. Like Brutalism, Structural
Expressionist buildings reveal
their structure on the outside as
well as the inside, but with visual
emphasis placed on the internal
steel and/or concrete skeletal
structure as opposed to
exterior concrete walls.
High-tech buildings are often
called machine-like.
Steel, aluminum, and glass
combine with brightly colored
braces, girders, and beams.

8. Many of the building parts are
prefabricated in a factory
and assembled later. The support
beams, duct work, and other
functional elements are
placed on the exterior of the
building, where they become the
focus of attention.
The interior spaces are open and
adaptable for many uses.

9. AIMS
However prominent the industrial
look appeared, the functional
element of modern architecture
was very much retained.
High-tech architecture aimed to
give everything an industrial
appearance.
conversion of former industrial
spaces into residential spaces
The pieces still served a purpose
in the building's function.
This strengthens the impact of the
object in a high-tech style, both in
terms of functional and visual
matter.

INTEGRATION
Technical elements, such as blinds

put together in repetitive sequence.

known for combining traditional
architectural elements with
progressive designs based on
simple geometric patterns. As
one critic writes: "Pei has been
aptly described as combining a
classical sense of form with a
contemporary mastery of

The GLA - GREATER LONDON
AUTHORITY- is located in an
area needing the
redevelopment, and with such a
location, the government was
able to claim their part in the
regeneration process.
The design of this building is
also one that provided a
symbolic break from the past.
Contrary to some believe, the
London Authority doesn’t

50. The building has an unusual,
bulbous shape,
intended to reduce its
surface area and thus
improve energy efficiency.
ORIENTATION:
To further improved the
shape and performance of
this building the sphere
shape was skewed to more
of an egg shape that leans
South blocking the direct
sunlight with it’s own shape

51. SHADING:
The egg shape is in itself a
strategy for passive design.
The South side of the building
leans back so the floor-
plates step out over the
windows below each other
providing shade for the
naturally ventilated offices

maximising shading and
minimising the surface area

quarter of the energy consumed
by a typical air-conditioned

painted different colors to
distinguish their different roles.

61. Interior
In this way, within the building
will get the same picture of
chaos and mass of its own
technological elements from
outside. Renzo Piano placed on

roof and avoid the gaze be
distracted looking at the work

the interior is quite bright as
the glass is continuous. By
passing all the roofs inside
the piping and that there are
elements in the facades, all
these elements are in sight.

63. Rabat is proud of its past but
also eager to look to the
future. The city could not,
therefore, avoid the necessity
to grow while combining
tradition and modernity.
The building, instead of oppose
these aspects, try to put in
relationship in order to
restore the subtle dialectic
that we can
found in the most beautiful
buildings of Morocco:
simplicity
richness
warmth and fresh
Clear
golden.

64. The proposed architectural
concept stems from a work on
a relationship between inside
and outside , the interior and
exterior architecture.
The project has a
very communicative
nature, Both in his
own Volumes than
in the relationship
with the outside
world
revealing the
"original“
interior of the
form. Only the
base of the
tower remains
intact as if
rooted in the
ground.
The tower rises from a large,
pure parallelepiped-shaped
volume covering the whole
surface area. Two prisms are
formed by sliding two halves of
the volume diagonally, thereby

65. This creates an architectural
style combining shade and light,
delicacy and power. The building
is topped off by a 27-metre
overhang, which makes a
powerful impression on the
observer.

66. The facades
The other facades are
naturally protected from the
sun by the different volumes
and the orientation of the
building, which allows a simple
and modern approach.

the external ones are “high
performance” facades, very
expressive with varying shades
integrated into a “skin” or
double thick skin equipped with
opening on the inside.

69. • The structure is made up of a
“Diagrid,” comprised of steel
pieces coming together at
triangular nodes to support
the outer weight of the
structure.
• This design allows for
uninterrupted office
interiors with
revolving triangular
atriums that
connect the spaces
floor-to-floor
and allow for
ventilation.
•
• External skeleton of the
building is made of cross-linked
steel pieces,
which are then
clad by the
diamond-shaped
double glazing.
The structure
• Giant double glazed structure
lets natural light in, enhancing
the work
environment
and reducing
lighting costs.

70. • The steel nodes used in the
construction of the frame of the
building had to be tested and
simulated in order to make
absolutely sure that the building
would fit together and perform
properly.
• The design team constructed
mock-ups of the structural
connections, and then using
sophisticated computers,
calculated the amount of
deflection and compaction that
would take place over 40 stories
of construction.
“Pre-cambering.”

71. • Constructed on a diagrid

• Made of 5,500 glass panels
• Only piece of curved glass is

• Radial floor design with each
floor is rotated 5°
• Set of six atriums two to six

Features
• Tapers outward from the
base and the narrows.
• Smaller footprint allows
for a public plaza.
• Aerodynamic shape creates
less downdraft.
• Building shape allows for
natural light

72. • The triangulated perimeter
also provides enough
stiffness to the building to
resist high wind turbulence
at greater height, also the
slender shape provides
minimum resistance to winds.
• The narrower base is in line
with the narrow London
roads, which does not
make the building massive
or imposing, even after its
huge scale

• Building was supposed to
consume 50% less energy
• Temperature can be
controlled in several
separate zones on each
floor.
• Building can potentially turn
off mechanical temperature
system 40% of the year
• Windows open when external
temperature is between 20°C
and 26°C and wind speed is
less than 10 mph

75. Panoramic dome
On the building's
top level (the
40th floor), there is a bar for
tenants and their
guests featuring
a 360° view of

on the 39th floor, and private
dining rooms on the 38th.

• there is less heat loss over

with smoother air flows
through the area.
• This low-pressure system

otherwise unfeasible

76. The double wall contains
venting flaps, built into the
triangular façade, to allow
hot air to travel up and out the
building. There is a built-in heat
exchange system built into the
ceiling of each floor unit, with
exchangers for cooling of
spaces, running off a cold-
water well for summer
months.
