Neo-futurism is a late 20th–early 21st century movement in the arts, design, and architecture. It is a departure from the cynical attitude of post-modernism and represents an idealistic belief in a better future and "a need to periodize the modern rapport with the technological". This avant-garde movement is a futuristic rethinking of the aesthetic and functionality of rapidly growing cities.  The industrialization that began worldwide following the end of the Second World War gave wind to new streams of thought in life, art and architecture, leading to post-modernism, neo-modernism and then neo-futurism. In the Western countries, futurist architecture evolved into Art Deco, the Googie movement and high-tech architecture, and finally into Neo-Futurism. Neo-futuristic urbanists, architects, designers and artists believe in cities releasing emotions, driven by eco-sustainability, ethical values and implementing new materials and new technologies to provide a better quality of life for city-dwellers. Neo-futurism has absorbed sоme оf the high-tech architecture’s themes аnd ideas, incorporating elements оf high-tech industry аnd technology іntо building design: technology and context is the focus of some architects of this movement such as Buckminster Fuller, Norman Foster, Kenzo Tange, Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Frei Otto, and Santiago Calatrava.

• Neo-futurism is a late 20th–early 21st century movement in the arts, design, and architecture. It is a departure
from the cynical attitude of post-modernism and represents an idealistic belief in a better future and "a need

• This avant-garde movement is a futuristic rethinking of the aesthetic and functionality of rapidly growing
cities.
• The industrialization that began worldwide following the end of the Second World War gave wind to new
streams of thought in life, art and architecture, leading to post-modernism, neo-modernism and then neo-
futurism.
• In the Western countries, futurist architecture evolved into Art Deco, the Googie movement and high-tech
architecture, and finally into Neo-Futurism.
• Neo-futuristic urbanists, architects, designers and artists believe in cities releasing emotions, driven by eco-
sustainability, ethical values and implementing new materials and new technologies to provide a better quality

7. • It is a solid immobile building constructed in nine segments
of five-story pentagons that twist relative to each other as it
rises
• The topmost segment is twisted 90 degrees clockwise with
respect to the ground floor
• Each floor consists of an irregular pentagonal shape rotating
around the vertical core, which is supported by an exterior
steel framework.
• The two bottom segments are intended as office space.
Segments three to nine house 147 apartments
• Floor 53 and 54 in the Turning Torso are conference floors
booked and managed by Turning Torso Meetings.

17. Tropical Modernism
• Geoffrey Bawa explored modernism and its cultural implications and created a unique style of design
which had a lasting impact on architect’s across the world .
• Bawa was one of the original proponents of tropical modernism, a design movement in which
sensitivity for local context combines with form making principles of modernism.
• Bawa’s architecture led to the formation of a new architectural identity and aesthetic for many
tropical environment

18. • Deshamanya Geoffrey Manning Bawa was born on 23 july 1919 in Srilanka.
• Educated at Royal College and Middle Temple, London and became a Lawyer.
• Studied architecture in Architectural Association, London in 1956
• In 1957, at the age of 38 , returned to Sri Lanka qualified as an architect to
take over Reid's practice.
• He said.. A building can only be understood by moving around and through it and
by experiencing the modulation and feel the spaces one moves through- from the
outside into verandah, than rooms, passages, courtyards. Architecture cannot be
totally explained but must be experienced
Geoffrey Bawa

19. His Beliefs
•Highly personal in his approach, evoking the pleasures of the senses that go
hand in hand with the climate, landscape, and culture of ancient Ceylon(Present
day Sri Lanka).
•Brings together an appreciation of the Western humanist tradition in
architecture with needs and lifestyles of his own country.
•The principal force behind TROPICAL MODERNISM.
He is the most renowned architect in Sri Lanka and was among the most
influential Asian architects of his generation.

32. • The new Sri Lankan Parliament is an
asymmetric group of colonnaded pavilions with
striking copper roofs ‘floating’ on a man-made lake.
• The approach is along a causeway and across a
forecourt.
• The chamber, the focus of power, lies within the main
pavilion with balconies and galleries rising three
storeys. The tiered terraces below hold administrative
and committee offices. Other pavilions accommodate
rooms of varying functions.
• Traditional wood and stone columns, reminiscent of
ancient palaces and temples, support the stately
copper roofs.
• The Parliamentary complex is Bawa’s most symbolic
work, conceptualized as movements through spaces,
resulting in the asymmetrical configuration.

35. Sustainable Architecture
• Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings
by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
• Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the
built environment.
• The term "sustainable architecture" is used for the first time in 1998, from A. Trivelli instead of "green building"
or "sustainable construction" or "baubiologie".
• The idea of sustainability, or ecological design, is to ensure that our actions and decisions today do not inhibit
the opportunities of future generations.
• Energy efficiency over the entire life cycle of a building is the most important goal of sustainable
architecture. Architects use many different passive and active techniques to reduce the energy needs of
buildings and increase their ability to capture or generate their own energy. One of the keys to exploit local
environmental resources and influence energy-related factors such as daylight, solar heat gains and ventilation is
the use of site analysis.

45. • Born and raised in Amritsar , in the family of the steel industrialist
• In 1961, went to study engineering IIT Delhi and dropped within a
year.
• Joined department of architecture with J A Stein. With him he
explored the working of hyperbolic paraboloids.
• Went to study architecture at SPA Delhi.
• During the time immediately after college, he worked a lot with
wood and was known as carpenter laul.
• Influenced by his father, he developed interest in steel structure

48. • A simple yet splendid roofing system using natural
materials.
• Furnicular shells can take any shape square,
rectangle, trapezium, etc.
• The funicular shell roof is one such compression
structure which ensures conservation of natural
resources by utilising waste materials effectively
and optimizing the use of expensive steel and
cement.
• The arch distributes the point load in all directions
equally and is able to withstand impact loading at
any point
• He promotes Lakhori and Nanakshahi bricks and
criticises british and modular
