Buildings are products of the imagination‚ that is what connects us to them. Some go further than that and become just a romantic obsession. Throughout time we have begun to modify the landscape in which surround us‚ This leading us to create large industrial cities with many buildings of disuse. As time passes buildings are being left derelict due to many factors such as dying trades‚ for example‚ coal and mining villages. Buildings to this day have been changed and modified and have housed so many

an overview of the smart materials. The various types of smart material are also presented in this paper. To get the clear idea about the smart materials‚ its definition and types are explained briefly. Some of the types of these include piezoelectric materials‚ magneto-rheostatic materials‚ electro-rheostatic materials‚ and shape memory alloys piezoelectric‚ Varieties of smart materials already exist‚ and research is being carried out extensively to derive new materials.

industrialized building system (IBS) can be generally interpreted as in which all building components such as floors‚ walls‚ columns‚ beams‚ and roofs are mass produced either in a factory or at site factory according to specifications with standardize shapes and dimensions and transported to the construction projects site to be assembled into a structure with minimal site wet work and erected on the site properly joined to form the final units. The development of industrialized building system (IBS)

Light wooden framed buildings were originally discovered when light partition walls were capable of forming a construction system by themselves. The system consists of timber studs frames assembled on site and tilted vertically or horizontally depending and what is needed. The idea was improved and accelerated with the availability of cheap mass produced nails and properly planed and cut pieces of wood. The first step to building a light timber platform building is to lay foundation walls to support
