 50's Home Architecture
Architecture first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (shelter, security, worship, etc.) and means (available building materials and attendant skills).
They felt that architecture was not a personal philosophical or aesthetic pursuit by individualists; rather it had to consider everyday needs of people and use technology to give a livable environment.
Architecture now required a team of professionals in its making, an architect being one among the many, sometimes the leader, sometimes not.

Architecture originated in the religious impulse and thus was originally symbolic.
The architecture that developed during this period came to be called the 'International Style' because it spread throughout Europe and the United States.
Some architecture graduates gain further qualifications in such specialist field such as planning, landscape or conservation while other may move on to work in television or theatre, or to become teachers or writers.

Topics ranged from the impact of qat in Yemen to the ‘rose of eros’ in Judaism or the visionary rose of Persian culture, and from cherry gardening in ancient Japan to the chinampas or “floating gardens” of the Aztecs.
In this methodology, the “Little Ice Age” becomes an unsettling agent, undermining the stasis of Baroque formality; and harvests, health, and horticulture are all seen to move in tandem with weather and climate.
But it is primarily intended for students of landscape architecture, who will have the opportunity through varied assignments to develop an innovative approach to design that draws on both history and horticulture.

 H-Net Review: David Monteyne on The New Spirit: Modern Architecture in Vancouver, 1938-1963
The CCA should be applauded for sponsoring an exhibition on this fascinating and vital period in architectural history in which the tenets of international Modernism were applied and altered within a vibrant local context.
The transatlantic literary, pedagogical, and visual resources of Modernism presented to UBC architectural students was very far from being the universalist, authoritarian, sterile, anti-naturalistic, and anti-humanistic discipline attacked by later detractors.
The limitations of this approach have been exposed for some time in the history community: the separation of Architecture from mere building, which ignores a large (and growing) percentage of what is actually built; the idea of Architecture as self-referential art somehow distinct from social issues; and the associated problems of glorifying an individual artist/architect.

This professional degree program allows students to investigate an area of knowledge within the broad field of landscape architecture in collaboration with faculty who may be engaged in research or consulting activity in that area.
The research thesis requires the student to synthesize existing knowledge in landscape architecture and related fields to produce a new understanding in the field.
Additional courses may be required beyond the total number of credits normally prescribed for the degree, particularly for candidates from design disciplines other than landscape architecture.

In the period of classic modernism, from the 1920s through the 1940s, there was an intense awareness of the impact of relativistic space-time on architecture as evidenced in Gideon's Space Time and Architecture.
We today are in the midst of an equally revolutionary upheaval in our awareness of space and time, yet we have not systematically rethought this most fundamental aspect of architecture.

Hitler considered that monumental public architecture would be an important Nazi legacy, envisioning the massive buildings he commissioned and sometimes helped to design, as enduring for centuries.
He rejected the modern design, calling it "degenerate." When creating new public structures, Hitler looked to the style of classical Greece and Rome, and other classical motifs in this "modern" architecture.
This reference to the past was intended to associate the Third Reich with the qualities of permanence and solidity.
