Allen) “A diagram architecture is not necessary an architecture produced through diagrams.... Instead‚ diagram architecture is an architecture that behaves like a diagram‚ indifferent to the specific means of its realization." (Par. 13) This paragraph points out the answer that beginners architecture students struggled to find. In the process of design‚ I try to find the potential through the translation from reality to the abstract diagram. While I wonder if the architecture should carefully be

Geometry PJ Architecture and Geometry Architecture and geometry are perfect complements of each other they go hand to hand in so many ways let’s discuss some of these ways. Architecture has geometry written all over it if geometry never existed Architecture wouldn’t have existed either.

protagonists in Gothic Literature‚ in order to determine the validity of Gothic as a serious genre rather than the merely macabre” The three texts; Bram Stoker’s Dracula‚ The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and Selected poems by John Keats project images of female characters in very different ways.
