21676 Impacts of Technological Development on Architectural Expression This paper examines the significant role that technological development plays in influencing architectural expression. In order to do so, the paper discusses the Home Insurance Building by Jenney, the Fagus Factory by Gropius, and the Glass Pavilion by Taut. The common link between all three is argued, to be the introduction of cheap Bessemer steel into commercial architecture.

21823 A Brief Consideration of Some Modern Building Projects and Their Influence on Architecture This 4-page undergraduate paper answers four questions concerning architecture, including: ?Many large buildings from the last 100 years are built with a solid appearing base 2 or 3 stories high, a mid section with vertical or horizontal emphasis, and a large "cornice" consisting of a different treatment of the top 1 or 2 floors or a wide or decorated overhang. This theme can be seen in many buildings in San Francisco including many modern skyscrapers. Look around for an example of this and please tell me about it.?, ?Can you think of any projects in recent times attempting to make major changes within existing cities??, ?Look around for some columns that are not vertical and tell me about the particular building you choose?, and ?Think about large contemporary projects (not necessarily construction projects) that were not carried out by architects, but which nevertheless had an influence on architecture?. In answering these questions, this paper considers buildings as diverse as the Haas-Lilienthal House in San Francisco, the Team Disney headquarters in Burbank, California, The Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, the Pyramide du Louvre in Paris, and the New Globe Theater in England.
