1.0 Introduction

I have been asked to critically compare and contrast a building constructed to today’s regulatory standards against a building of a similar type constructed in the 1970’s. I have chosen educational facilities for my building category and have chosen two buildings which I believe are fairly typical of the time in which they were constructed. I have compiled a breakdown on each building to better understand the techniques and materials used, then gone on to compare the design and engineering and look at how it has changed over time.
I have then investigated different techniques to help establish the most sustainable and economic manner in which my building category could hope to achieve net zero carbon

In Raymond Carver’s short story, Cathedral. The narrator seems to have difficulty understanding the deeper meanings of thoughts and feelings of people. As for the blind man, he should be envied the most because he sees a more precise view of the world than a person with two good eyes. Also the blind man has closer relationship with the narrator's wife, than the narrator does himself.…
