Sustainable Architecture for a Sustainable Future Our environment today suffers from many issues. The most important one from a constructor’s point of view would be the resources depletion problem. Freshwater resources are declining‚ the soil is loosing its fertility‚ and there is a crucial shortage in basic minerals such as zinc‚ copper‚ and phosphorus. These deficiencies would definitely lead to a slowdown in construction growth. According to Rehan Ahmed (2012) construction is the less sustainable

Soviet Constructivist Architecture …and its influences The Russian architectural profession was relatively intact after the revolution in October 1917‚ at least compared to the other arts in this unstable time. Foreign architects worked freely in the larger cities and the demand for private building was relatively high. This period was short lived as civil war wreaked havoc with the economy and infrastructure of the country. A major turning point for the profession‚ and the Russian people as

From these great architectural wonders developed styles used in architecture until today.

When comparing Greek and Roman architecture and design we see many similarities as well as differences. Greek culture and society came into fruition roughly 1250 years before the rise of the Roman Empire and Roman artisans were strongly influenced by their Greek predecessors. However‚ the Greeks were not without their own influences. Egyptian building styles and art were refined by the Greeks as seen in their use of column and lintel construction. It is notable that influence from Persia and the Ancient

‘how network architecture has changed over the decade’. In this report‚ I’d be talking about different network architecture that has been adopted over the past years. I would as well put light upon early network architecture and the advantages and disadvantages of former and why and how latter architecture were needed and adopted. Network architecture is the design of communication network. It is the complete framework of computer network. The diagram of the network architecture provides a full

Description The phrase “parti pris” (also known as "esquisse" or "maquette") is the basic scheme or concept for an architectural design from which an architectural project will be developed. It is the functional arrangement and underlying organisational idea of a building’s plan or its elevation. The phrase is often referred to as the “big idea” and is the chief organizing thought or decision behind an architect’s design presented in the form of a basic diagram and / or a simple statement. A

the Romans capitalized on its usefulness by improving the design through flattening the arch and using concrete to construct them (Gascoigne). This allowed the Romans to use arches to create bigger‚ heavier structures. The use of arches in Roman architecture helped to distribute the weight of a structure better‚ so that buildings‚ like the Colosseum‚ would not collapse under their own weight. Arches were also key in the construction of bridges aqueducts. The use of arches helped to make these larger

Abstract Software architecture plays an important role in the achievement of particular qualities we want to see in our software under development. On the other hand specific software demands some distinct qualities in software architecture. Now question arises how software architecture becomes the base to achieve the certain qualities and how qualities influence the architecture. Architecture provides the base for the development of the core product so by inspecting the architecture we can predict
