Masters Dissertation 2019
Architecture Principe’s seminal work - The Function of The Oblique - bridges the gap between the Le Corbusier modernist period and the Postmodern / Deconstructivist / Neo-Futuristic styles of contemporary architecture, typified by works of Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind and Coop Himmelb(l)au.
This dissertation sets out to analyse potential influences of Architecture Principe’s Function of the Oblique on contemporary architecture. By taking a sample of contemporary architecture through the use of case studies, the aim is to find out whether their ideas survive specifically in the works of Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, and Foreign Office Architects.
