Synopsis

Colomina argues that architecture is not just an envelopment of space; an enclosure of space where people get solace from the elements of nature and other forms of physical threat. Colomina further argues that the impression of the interior of an architectural space is not just what is left by the users of the space; the imprint of their daily activities. Instead, he argues that the interior of an architectural contains hidden mechanisms that may not be overt to the untrained eye. These hidden mechanisms help describe the construction of the interior space of the building (Colomina 233). Based ...

The pollution in the highly urbanized areas allows the phenomenon called ‘greenhouse effect’ wherein the heat from the Sun is trapped on the land causing tremendous amounts of heat and leads to numerous issues such as the rise of temperature, drought, the melting of icebergs, and high evaporation of water. Unfortunately, the cities contribute to this effect, the use products containing CFC’s and the pollution of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to the destruction of the ozone layers. With the destruction of the atmospheric barrier, the excessive radiation from the sun cannot be prevented. In ...

The design and construction of the Commerzbank saw the “[b]reaking away from the American model of deep-planned, air-conditioned structures” that have a “central service core” (Arend, Benkert, deFilippis, & ...

Q1. The view of Seventh Avenue comes across as artistic since the photograph carries several elements of artistic expression in images. Among the elements, texture is captured through the angle chosen, where the contours made by the buildings represent the diversity of the city. Light use is artistic, with the street surface being lighter, thus easily marking it out (Sonnentaga, Hufkens, and Teshera-Sternea, 165). This perspective of the city would thrill a New Yorker, by giving them a perspective of the city from above the ground. Q2. Abbot means photography that attempts to be as representative as possible to ...

Improving Sustainability: Yum Brands

Business Sustainability is often defined as the process by which an organization manages its financial standing, social risks and opportunities.

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Abstract Most buildings once completed take at least one year to settle and require repairs and maintenance. However, many older multiple dwelling buildings have suffered unforeseen issues. The most common problem is water ingress through the building envelope. The reason why residential buildings are critical and require closer and immediate attention is because these buildings belong to people who have invested their life savings into them for comfort and spend most of their time in those places. Commercial and industrial buildings do not require as much attention and their environmental separation requirements vary because they are only occupied ...

1.0 Introduction

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took ...

Like all ancient people, the Greek thought of temples as houses for the gods. While in Greece the temple plan was derived from the megaron found in Mycenaean palaces, Roman temples were derived from Greek and Etruscan precedents. The Greek temples were decorated with an exterior colonnade, and the statue of the god was housed in the main room (the naos) facing the east where an outdoor altar for sacrifices was placed. The Roman temples borrowed the podium (base) and the frontality of the temple from Etruscan temples. From Greece came the columns, the cella (central room), the porch ( ...
