 Odin - Architecture in Norway   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
This is why monumental buildings are lacking and folk traditions have dominated architecture, especially in the use of wood, based on centuries of craftsmanship and experience with the material.
In 1905 several architectural contests were launched, and a major ground rule was the use of a Norwegian style.
Architecturally, the Police Headquarters has been followed up by several similar structures in which a sub-division of the building's main body, as in the example with the open hand, creates open spaces which can be covered in glass.

 Learning Architecture: 02
Architecture has been recognized as one of the learned professions from the earliest times of recorded history, but its roots lie in the prehistoric agricultural revolution, which brought people together in villages, towns and cities and resulted in the rise of specialized occupations.
Architecture graduates generally are not the source of grants or endowments, nor is there an industry that can benefit by endowing chairs and sponsoring architectural studies.
Architectural educators have historically resisted calls from practitioners to provide more well-trained graduates who understand how a building is put together, who know how to make technical drawings (as opposed to conceptual sketches), who can communicate coherently orally or in writing, work with others, and manage their time effectively.

 Greek Architecture
The earliest existing structure in Greece possessing architectural merit; and of regular form, is the so-called Treasury of Atreus at Mycenae.
The chief architectural feature of the building was the entrance doorway, flanked by columns entirely covered with elaborate zigzag ornamentation, showing a fairly developed style, with traces of Egyptian and Asiatic influences.
But it was not until the time of the Persian wars that the noblest architecture of Greece was developed, when the Athenians gave vent to their enthusiasm, after the invaders had been defeated, by the rebuilding of the national monuments.

 Architecture & Macaroni
To further understand the nature of macaronic thinking in architecture, a crucial corollary to append to the fundamental analogy between cooking and designing elaborated by Scarpa and his entourage is that, in traveling to see architecture in other places outside of their own region, architects cannot visit buildings without tasting local dishes and wines.
They perform a metabolic transubstantiation: foodstuffs and building materials are metabolized into the substances of cuisine and architecture and the "accidents" of the materials and stuff of construction and cooking transmogrify by formal and sensuous blends.(12) On the one hand, three basic types of accidental rules control these transmogrifications.
Architectural and culinary thinking makes macaronic thinking alive by shaping and regulating conceptual development by considering the necessary and positive interchanges that take place between impressions of subjective and objective qualities.

Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century.
There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural ‘model’ in relation to Gandy's understanding of ‘trans-historical’ architecture.
I argue that this is the architectural project through which Soane and Gandy's common interest in universal symbolism was made manifest, as evidenced by the design and presentation drawings held at the Soane Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Pasley’s work was first written in 1826 as a course of architecture for his students at the Royal Engineer’s School in Chatham.
The original title of the book, Outline of a Course of Practical Architecture is therefore a little misleading to the modern reader as the course was primarily concerned with building construction, concentrating on all aspects of brickwork.
Practical Architecture will be of interest to architects, surveyors and structural engineers and all those involved in the repair and conservation of brick structures.
