Combined Rigour Of Rational Decisions And Computational

In my robotics team, I learn all about programming in languages such as Java and C and the engineering design process. I am given the opportunity to design in CAD and to formally document our process in a professional Engineering

Architectural design today has moved from designing by hand to designing with several different software programs that have made the job much easier. Two of the main programs in many architectural firms today are AutoCAD2000 and ArchiCAD 6.5. Both are very productive design tools but each has its own defects in certain areas of the design process.

It appears that from the very beginning, Frank Lloyd Wright was destined by fate or determination to be one of the most celebrated architects of the twentieth century. Not only did Wright possess genius skills in the spatial cognition, his approach to architecture through geometric manipulation demonstrates one aspect of his creativeness. Forever a great businessman, Wright seemed to know how to please his clients and still produce some of the most innovative and ridiculed buildings of

In the essay entitled “Structure, Construction, and Tectonics,” Eduard Sekler defined tectonics in architecture as an observable expression which cannot be explained in terms of structure and construction

Shape: The monumental structure in the shape of an archway often designed to span road; consists of two massive piers connected by an arch and crowned with entablature attic where a statue may stand on.

The teacher will review the element of art shape. I will provide the children with a definition. Shape: A two-dimensional area or plane that may be open or closed, free-form or geometric. It can be found in nature or is made by humans. I will explain that artists throughout time have used basic shapes in their works. Shapes are flat with actual or implied lines that define a space. It may be a square, rectangle, oval, circle, triangle, or amorphous. Also, I will introduce the definition of Form. Form: A three-dimensional volume or the illusion of three dimensions (related to shape, which is two-dimensional); the particular characteristics of the visual elements of a work of art. I will show students examples of different shapes that I used in my picture.

traditions and religions as well as over searching stylistic trends and dates. A variety of styles have been used in the idea of architecture. The science of architecture begins with gravity. Gravity added with the creative manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow. Architecture comes with the durability, utility, and creativity. Through each generation these theories have developed and changed. The newly developed standards of today’s public safety has made an immense affect on the redesign of modern buildings. Modern buildings should be redesigned using these new standards because the security needs to be improved, materials have to be restored and replaced, and designs need to be modified or updated. Safety and security are very important in today’s society. There are thousands to millions of precautions taken to prevent harmful and dangerous things from happening. A couple years ago on the day of September 11, 2001 a series of events occurred that would change the United States forever. In between the states of New York and Washington D.C four events of terrorist attacks were made. Planes had been hijacked and flown into buildings attempting to be suicide attacks. Nevertheless these attacks ended up being more of a tragedy then suicide. In New York, The World

My final recommendation is for the Vixify to use the rational decision-making process.The rational decision- making process allowed the company to weight out which decision would have had a better outcome. The Entrepreneurial model is more of a complex decision -making the process that makes you put more thought into your decisions. At the time I do not think that Vizify had a lot of time to think about their decisions. Another tool the company could have used was the six hats of thinking. The six hats of thinking would have allowed the company to think about the risks, feelings, and criticism from choice each solution. I think the risk was a strong factor in the decision-making process however, I do not think emotional (red hat) was something

Data is very important and critical to any organisation, so is in the telecommunication industries. Information that can be easily used must be available so that the decisions makers within an industry can make informed decisions based on visible facts projected by the data available. If this is not the case, decision-making processes can become extremely challenging and, in some cases, impossible. The flow of information within an organization is critical to the success of that organization (Davenport & Prusak, 1998). Organizations struggle in collecting data, retrieving information and making decisions based on the extracted information. A decision making process consists of making judgments based on the qualitative data.

I made use of morphological analysis that is good for generating alternative solution ideas for the components and subsystems of products. The MET matrix is good for evaluating the potential envi-ronmental impacts of the concept design, although at this stage of development the impacts can only be roughly assessed.

The book Structures: Or Why Things Don’t Fall Down is aptly named, as it is an inviting title for people who have not had any exposure to tedious engineering classes. If a person were to see the book in the bookstore and flip through the pages many diagrams and pictures would be seen. However, the almost four hundred page book seems a little daunting as society today lacks avid readers who want to learn about the world. Many people would rather read about history or biology. J. E. Gordon, the author, was smart in this way to include history, ancient and more recent, as well as biology and even dressmaking in his lengthy book. It is the history and wide range of examples that makes Structures bearable to read.

Architecture is more than a compilation of materials assembled to create a building. Rather, architecture is greater than the sum of its individual building components, it is a structural system (Hurrol 2015, Rappaport 2012). The quintessential elements of architecture – masses, frames and planes – provide limitless opportunities for the creation of form and the articulation of space (Eckler 2012). The assembly of the mass, frame and plane uses one of two antithetic construction orders; stereometrics and tectonics. Stereometric construction utilises “the repetitious piling up of heavyweight elements” (Frampton 1995, 5). Heavy, telluric and searching for light; the stereometric structure resembles a cave (Baeza 2009). In contrast, tectonic constructions

Architectural works have been conceived from ingenuity and principles accumulated since the dawn of time when we lived in primitive caves and sought shelter for survival. Architects interpret these conventions and use the physical environment to bring them to life using tectonic and stereotomic expression. Tectonics is defined as “The science, or the art, by which implements, vessels, dwellings, or other edifices, are constructed" ("Tectonics" 1913). Baeza (2009) further explains tectonics architecture to be “a structural system of knots and joints in which the construction is articulated”. Conversely, Francesco Cacciatore describes stereotomics as “the gradual removal of matter from an initial shape” (Cacciatore 2011). Stereotomic and tectonics

The construction stage had many complex construction methods that had to be implemented to construct the extremely unique façade and framework of the buildings, along with the sites famous “Labyrinth” and well know platform “The Deck”.

Architecture can be viewed with two different types of properties. Properties that can be seen like shapes, their composition, the spaces they create and, the colours and textures that make up their appearance. These properties are considered to be visual while other properties are considered to be abstract. These properties can only be described using words; the meanings behind the architecture and the stories that can be told about it. The context, its cultural background and its function also affects how we view architecture. The question is, what
