Lecture 44 : High Tech Architecture – 2

This lecture further explores High-Tech Architecture through key concepts, technological strategies, and influential case studies. It examines how the movement emphasized structural expression, prefabrication, modular construction, and the externalization of building services, allowing greater flexibility and adaptability in architectural design. The lecture discusses ideas such as plug-in components, capsule architecture, and metabolic urban visions, illustrated through projects like the Nakagin Capsule Tower, Sony Tower, and Habitat 67. It also provides an in-depth analysis of Richard Rogers’ Lloyd’s Building in London, demonstrating how exposed services, modular planning, and a central atrium create highly flexible interior spaces while expressing the technological aesthetic of the machine age.
