facilitating the creation of new materials with which to build. These new materials freed the architect from engineering limitations of the past and allowed for new rational designs based on a buildingÕs function. But most importantly‚ these designs were given form by a new optimistic ideal - that rational design would make for a rational society. Technology transformed architecture into a tool for social and cultural reform. The industrial revolution gave three new materials to the architect of the 20th

| Introduction The term Diagrid is a portmanteau of ‘diagonal grid’ and is a technique typically used for constructing large steel buildings by creating external triangular structures with horizontal support rings. The diagonal members intersect each other and the horizontal rings at a single node. The members combine to create an element similar to a moment frame. In a Diagrid structure‚ gravity and lateral loads are resisted by all of the members‚ creating efficiency and large amounts of structural

Title: Critical Review of “ A Building LCA Case Study Using Autodesk Ecotect and BIM Model” Summary: The main objective of the paper was to prove that the BIM (Building Information Model) integrated with other software for energy analysis and CO2 emissions of buildings could lead to a comprehensive and successful LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) study. The authors claimed that using BIM would save much time and effort when conducting LCA studies. They also addressed a research question of how the

The section will follow the topography of the terrain‚ and the ground plan will be suitably aligned to the natural light. But what is more important is that the location also influences the choice of materials‚ the appearance of a building and the actual texture it finally possesses. If an architect takes these factors into account in
