Topic: 1960 in architecture

	architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		As an art, architecture is essentially abstract and nonrepresentational and involves the manipulation of the relationships of spaces, volumes, planes, masses, and voids.
		there were three great developments in architectural construction—the post-and-lintel, or trabeated, system; the arch system, either the cohesive type, employing plastic materials hardening into a homogeneous mass, or the thrust type, in which the loads are received and counterbalanced at definite points; and the modern steel-skeleton system.
		The birth of Renaissance architecture (15th cent.) inaugurated a period of several hundred years in Western architecture during which the multiple and complex buildings of the modern world began to emerge, while at the same time no new and compelling structural conceptions appeared.

	\|Sigfried Giedion\|Architecture of the 1960's\|

	On The Road: Kentucky's Roadside Commercial Architecture
		Roadside commercial architecture of the early-to-mid twentieth century is often taken for granted by contemporary observers.
		Seen as unattractive reminders of a less-sophisticated past, these gas stations, motor courts, and refreshment stands were part and parcel of a movement which drew commerce away from the downtown core and relocated it on the city's edge and throughout the countryside.
		This exhibit focuses on commercial architecture of the roadside in its infancy---from 1920 to 1960.

	INTBAU: Proportion and Traditional Architecture
		The neglect of proportions in modern architecture, the disregard of unified diversity, including fractal qualities, and the lack of "human dimensionality" are the main reasons for the ugliness, the shapelessness and missing "kindness" of modern architecture.
		Traditional architecture was normally proportioned either by systematic means or with the help of a highly developed feeling of form and the ability to transform this into shape, as I can show in many hundreds of proportion analyses.
		Contrary to this, Gothic high architecture was completely dominated by "pure Triangulature", not only because of the symbolic meaning of the three in PLATO (Timaeus) and in Christianity, but also because of the overwhelming superiority of its statics for the construction of vaults and arches.

		Information Architecture can be defined as the creation of structures, systems, and principles of information organization which allow others to find, use and understand information.
