Modernist structure   This qualifies as a modern structure due to the plans of Yale University Art gallery. If you take a look at the plan, you will notice that it follow the modernist movement of a free plan instead of the neoclassical style of the existing structure. Also starting using reinforced concrete and glass glazing instead of standard wood frame and standard windows. But they do relate it back to the old structure always. (Ari & Delando)

System- Façade System   Louis Kahn designs a system that would help improve the previous façade system Yale University Art gallery. This system would be triple pain glass facade windows with a translucent spandrel panels to also help filter the natural light. The exterior windows played a greater roll than just a window; it also played as an exterior wall. Therefore being Louis Kahn signature wall-window system. These wall-windows system played a big part in Louis Kahn design; he believes strongly in natural light and natural heating from the sun. (Ari & Delando)

also add a quote by the architect in at least one post- where applicable) "You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see." This philosophy of Tadao Ando is ever apparent in his design.

After encircling the wall L, the visitor ascends and descends a few steps around a space defined by four crosses, which defines a virtual cube understood as a divine disperses into the corners. The space inside the crossings is a small square of glass roof, which some seats are arranged on its perimeter. Crosses, 50 cm in thickness are arranged in such a way that their extreme points are separated by just 5 centimeters, the dramatic rise of the composition The floor is covered with slabs of black granite.

Steel frame structure

Concrete, glass, and steel frame.

Next to the chapel lies a concrete porch of 6.2 m high, holding a beam that stretches 15.9 m. This gate symbolically reinforces the idea of transition from the sacred to the profane, while functionally hosts limiting sliding screen between the chapel and the pond

Ando's architecture is based on a clear geometric order. The composition of the church is based on water at the intersection of two volumes (a prism of a square base of 15 m square and a cube of side 10 meters) that share a corner in an area of 5 x 5 m Wrapped in an aesthetic devoid of ornament, many of the works of Tadao Ando base their wealth in building the relationship with nature.

Modernist structure - Yale Art Gallery   This qualifies as a modern structure due to it breaking away from neoclassical architecture and start using glass glazing as a facade system. Also starting using reinforced concrete instead of standard wood frame. Louis also us color to help symbolize each space, this style was also part of the modernist era. (Ari & Delando)

Spatial order- Yale Art Gallery   If you look at the photo above you can see the ceiling of the art galleries has an array of triangle that flows between the beams of the ceiling. The articulations of the triangle from the ceiling help form the triangle shape of the stairs located in a light shaft. To control the light that would get into the light shaft; they continued with the triangle spatial order by putting a triangle shape in front of the skylight. This acted like a screen to help control the nature light. (Ari & Delando)

Program- Yale Art Gallery   The program with in the Yale art gallery consists of five floors, including the basement. The basement level is where you can find the sculpture court collection storage and management quarters. Then on the first level there is a gathering spaces, lobby and prints/ drawings gallery. The second and the third level is where you can find the permanent art exhibit. And the top floor is a fixture of permanent and temporary exhibits. (Ari & Delando)     

System- Yale Art Gallery   Louis Kahn designs two different types of facade systems for the Yale university art gallery. One system was a wood louver system, which would help control the direct natural light. The second system would be triple pain glass facade windows with a translucent spandrel panels to also help filter the natural light. These panels and louver system played a big part in Louis Kahn design. He believes strongly in natural light and natural heating from the natural light. (Ari & Delando)

Unlike the old Roman perfect uniformed brick Rafael Moneo used a thing long brick to articulate the spaces in the museum. The bricks were gold and reddish, which really became vibrant when the skylights allowed in the natural light.

Rafael Moneo used arches to merge the old (Ancient Rome) and new ideas (Modernism)  of design. He uses a modern take on the basilica type by expanding the nave and allowing the natural light to come into the space.

Ancient city on the below level, exhibition space was on the ground level.

The lower level shows the excavation of the ancient Roman city, this is ordered by the column grid.

As one of the fathers of the modern architecture movement, Le Corbusier has mostly stayed true to his modernist intentions when it comes to his work.  This project can be seen as a little bit of a stray away from his 5 points (Lifted, Ribbon Window, Free facade, Free plan, and to occupy the roof).  Some of things things can be seen in the project.  He has occupied the roof as a roof garden but controversy can be throughout many more of his moves throughout the design.  There was concern with the ground, structure and to have a very limited budget, Le Corbusier had to design around these restrictions rather then him mostly doing whatever he wanted.

A small percentage of the site is treated with a daily portion of the sun that run dominantly through the site.  A portion of the site consists of a walled-garden.

For materials used in the project, it was mainly structure used for structure and distributing loads throughout spaces.  The use of the most common and crudest materials can be seen in exterior and interior spaces due to a very lost budget.
