The design argument, also known as the teleological argument essentially means that the universe and everything within it has a specific design and purpose. (Perry, Bratman, Fischer 57) The Greek term; ‘telos’ is the derivative form of teleology which means end or purpose. This argument is entirely a posteriori and we learn about the existence of God through experience and empirical knowledge. This argument was developed by Thomas Aquinas and his fifth version. In this essay, I will explore the merits and flaws of this viewpoint by quoting Aquinas, William Paley, Richard Swinburne, Mark Twain, Frederick Tennant and David Hume who contributed comprehensively to this idea.…

In the beginning, "The Bungalow craze did not arise in a cultural vacuum, but was one expression of a boarder artistic movement at the turn of the century known as Arts and Crafts" (110). In the nineteenth century, the Progressive reform era promoted simple architectural styles. As the era progressed society changed living styles. But did they keep them conservative or radical? "The Bungalow's appeal was also related to dramatic changes overtaking women in late nineteenth century" (111). The supporters of the Bungalow style of architecture were radical because of the progression or era, and simplicity that proceeded throughout society.…
The first house my father built was constructed room by room and took more than 25 years to be built, a continuous work in progress. The original house was built in the standard square format without standard electricity and started with just four rooms: living room, dining room, kitchen and bedroom. The bathroom was located about 70 feet away in a little draw or valley from the house, which during the winter could be cold as the wind blew snow in during the most inopportune moments. New square rooms were attached to old square rooms as the house expanded outward to accommodate our growing family.…
I chose the movie I am Sam to challenge my own opinion on how people with disabilities should be treated under certain circumstances. I am Sam is a movie about a mentally challenged man, named Sam, striving to raise his daughter, Lucy, alone. Diagnosed with Autism, Sam’s intellectual capacity cannot exceed the age of 7. As we watch Lucy grow up under Sam’s roof, we are able to see the love they have for each other. When Lucy reaches the age of 8, social workers see this as an issue, so they place Lucy in a temporary home while Sam goes to court to try to win Lucy back. Sam’s lawyer, Rita, took this “pro bono” case to impress her coworkers. At first, Rita doesn’t believe Sam is capable of raising Lucy along with the social workers who want to take her away from Sam. Although, as she forms a connection with Sam, she realizes and learns from Sam that love is the key aspect of raising a child. She shifts her beliefs and begins to see Sam as a role model who eventually helps aid her own relationship with her son. This story seems to accurately explore the prejudice and difficulties people with disabilities face in everyday life.…
The iPod shuffle mp3 player is a product that I continue to increasingly enjoy since my acquisition. Apple and namely Steve Jobs are notorious for design thinking and adherence to principles that govern good design with many rumored stories in circulation about product development and Jobs’ reaction to new Apple products. With combination of a great design, sound technology, and the addition of philanthropic support of a cause this product has quickly become a treasure.…
As already stated, architectural design is based on arranging spaces. This led us to the idea that another way to “look” at the drawing is to globally analyze the large whit e “loops”, which are candidates for representing rooms, and to propagate the analysis from these rooms to the walls. We therefore started investigating this second, more original approach.…
If UCD is the method that guides an effective development process, usability may be perceived as the end result. Usability was once known simply as "user-friendliness" (Norman & Draper, 1986), nowadays usability has become the quality software measurement for interactive software. The usability testing perhaps is one of the most valuable tools for designers. This method allows the designers to observe the actions of the target user population first-hand. Usability testing allows designers to observe genuine users performing real tasks and situation.…
“With such signs of forethought in the design of living creature, can you doubt they are the work of choice or design?” (Socrates). The word ‘Telos’ is Greek for purpose. The Teleological argument thus argues that the universe is being directed towards a telos, an end purpose, and the posteriori evidence of an apparent intelligent design in the world. A posteriori argument is based on observations and/or experiences. Furthermore, the teleological argument is based on the character of the world and the universe. For example, our world is a place of such extraordinary interlocking complexity that the only rational explanation is the presence of an intelligent designer. There are two main arguments within the design argument; the first is an…

Robert Venturi was only thirty-four when he was requested by his mother to design and build a house for her. Up until this time all of Venturi’s designs had been mostly theoretical. He was now given a chance to make them concrete.2 It could be understood that Robert’s mother’s house was designed to help him with his career; he was given an opportunity to design and construct a building instead of writing and teaching about them. The Vanna Venturi House was to be Robert Venturi’s first building. Like many architects he was driven to test his ideas through construction.3 The house went through six basic schemes and six models were made to clearly exhibit the form of the house and Venturi’s evolving ideas.4…
