Content: However, there are some differences between them and as we know there are no traces of the simplicity on the modern architecture in the “high-tech” architecture. Another difference is that for example if Modern architects show designs tools of a car, the “high-tech” architect represents the inside of the cabin and its components. The thinking and design principles of this style may be summarized in the following ten factors (Ghobadian, 2010)
Being optimistic about the progress of science and technology
Representing technology as the extract and achievement of the new era,
Representing building process,
transparence, layering and displaying the movement of the building,
Representing the structure and components of the building facade and the plan,
Using simple and bright colors,
Structure and construction as the design,
Applying light, tensile elements,
Separating the service provider parts from the parts that need to be serviced,
Roof design as the fifth façade (Ghobadian ,2010)
Skyscrapers have a special place in the “high-tech” architecture. Structurally building high buildings has two difficulties: Providing vertical elevators. The problem of retrofitting buildings against the top side loading such as the dynamic effects of the wind (Macdonald,1997). Expressing the Structure as a Function
The structure In addition to its role in three concepts of strength, performance and beauty has major influences on architecture. These effects have defined a wide range for structure that causes the structure be directly related to the strength and stability as an effective mental element and the related fitness besides its main role. On the other hand observing the dimensions and proportions of the structure stabilizes (Javaherian , 2007) Such as the Pyramids: The pyramids as the oldest buildings in architectural history can be a symbol of survival and sustainability (Figure 1).
