Introduction The "Building Envelope" is the area that separates conditioned space from unconditioned space or the outdoors. A building envelope includes all elements of a building that enclose conditioned space. Building envelope components separate conditioned spaces from unconditioned spaces or from outside air. For example‚ walls and doors between living areas are part of the building envelope; walls separating a garage from the living areas are not. Besides that‚ floors of conditioned basements

arts and crafts and interested in working in concrete art‚ learning how to create your own simple statues is a great first step. It’s a relatively easy way to get your feet wet‚ learn how to properly mix concrete‚ create a mold‚ and craft the concrete into a great shape. Creating The Statue Mold While some expert concrete artists can create statues directly in the clay‚ newer concrete artists should create a small clay mold over which to pour the concrete. Creating your own statue mold is a much easier

Our course is entitled CE Practicum 1‚ also known as On-the-job training in which we are required to complete 80 hours of training on the project site and attend for at least 15 times in one term. And no single visit on the site to exceed for 6 hours. Our first goal is to find on-going project sites that must be at least 10 storeys high and in the superstructure stage of construction. The project should also still be on-going for at least the next six months since we will undergo another 80 hours

attain those achievements were the invention of concrete and arches. In this paper‚ I attempt to look into their origins‚ their effect on Roman’s life and what was the most notable works result from these inventions. Concrete was considered one of the most innovative invention in architecture. It enabled building construction to a whole new level. Before concrete‚ buildings were constructed using brick and stone and other natural materials. Concrete was the first man-made material that can be created
