L’Ordre: The Case for the Tectonic’ identifies the issues in relation to the tectonic form‚ his intention is to make architecture step apart of just being part of a scenographic interpretation. The word tectonic is addressed from its different origins but overall referring to carpentry and its evolution into an aspect of poetry and art of construction. Tectonic objects are seen in two different forms; one being ontological which involves the nature of being and its existence and the other the representational

effects of this time period can still be widely seen even today. Since Greece was the birth place of democracy and we are a democratic nation‚ many of our government buildings draw inspiration from Greek architecture. The Greeks believed that man is the measure of all and in their art and architecture they constantly tried to achieve perfect balance‚ proportion‚ and unity. The Parthenon was the hugest temple in the Acropolis in Athens. The Acropolis or “high city” is an elevated rock supporting several

Architecture is all about the construction and design of buildings and other physical structures. It is often considered as a blend of art‚ science and imagination. In fact‚ architecture is also related to money and investments. Any piece of Architecture has a value beyond the quantitative materialistic point of view of the economics. But value added design refers to the measurable economic benefit gained due to a design. Well‚ Architecture is considered to be the practice of designing buildings

System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following

The history began between Relational Databases and SQL. In 1970‚ Edgar F. Codd wrote the now-famous paper on relational data modeling: "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks." The original relational database language‚ developed by IBM‚ was called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language) to support its prototype RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) called System/R. The name later was changed from SEQUEL to Structured Query Language. In the beginning Codd started out a

Green Architecture Green architecture is an approach to building which has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years. Also known as sustainable design‚ green architecture is a method of design that minimizes the impact of building on the environment. Once thought of as unconventional and nonstandard‚ both regulatory agencies and the public alike are quickly accepting green architecture as a socially responsible and logical means of construction. The beginnings of today ’s green revolution

A relationship is an important component of a relational database. A relationship exists between two tables when one or more key fields from one table are matched to one or more key fields in another table. The fields in both tables usually have the same name‚ data type‚ and size. It also helps to further refine table structures and minimize redundant data. The purpose of a query is to retrieve information from a table or tables‚ which can be based on some type of criteria. To put it simply‚ a query
