Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture Design: Measurements of Irrational Human Factors

There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.

While many practical issues interrupted due to Modernist language, Robert Venturi wrote a book of “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” and published in 1966. Book expresses the postmodernism and its rebellion to the purism of architecture. He respond to the quote of Mies van der Rohe “Less is more” as “Less is Bore” and discuss the architecture which should bow down to the complexities and contradictions. Architecture should be in touch with it in the creation of cities. After Modernisation, public spaces introduced into society and in the book of "The Society of the Spectacle” which is written by Guy Debord in 1967, criticize contemporary consumer culture and product fetishism which bring up the alienation of classes, mass media and homogenization of culture which

According to Weber, rationalization refers to the process by which modern society has increasingly become concerned with efficiency, predictability, calculability, and control (Weber 2009). This leads to behaviors that are guided by reason and practicality. In the film Food, Inc. (2008), the owners of the meat companies wanted to produce their products in a rational manor. The film portrays the side of the food industry that the companies do not want the consumers to see. Although this rationalization may seem to be positive, there are many negative effects.

The Design Argument is an argument that says there is a “God” who is the creator of all things. Within this argument, it is stated that things have to be designed – the main example being used is a machine. Cleanthes compares the universe to a machine. They both have many different parts that all work together, but how? The Design Argument says that “God”, or some deity, designed these different elements and pieces in a way so that they can all work together. For a machine to work, all of the pieces must fit together purposefully. When you think about the creator of a machine, for example an engineer, you would most likely think of some intelligent person who created the pieces to make them all fit and work together. Because the world is similar to a machine, by analogy, it too must be created by something intelligent – but on a much grander scale than us.

Since the recognition of architectures aid in representing power leaders have deployed it to enhance their prestige and represent their value within their empire. Leaders of cities such as Versailles, Isfahan and Chinese Imperial cities have implemented architecture in countless ways to portray their own importance and power over their people. The use of axis and baroque planning is a prime example of how leaders use city planning to enhance their power by controlling views and how people travel though the city. Ornamentation and colour are other ideas often used to represent power and riches by monarchs. Leaders used multiple means of architectural design to further their power and influence over their city, not only did they use it to represent themselves but also to increase the control they had.

Take a moment to think about the world around you and all of its beauty. From the ever flowing Mississippi River, to the ledges of the mighty Grand Canyon, or even to the peak of Mt. Fuji there is an immense amount of things on this Earth that are so incredible it is hard to believe science and chance created these magnificent things. So what is the best explanation for these occurrences? I believe that these occurrences scream of an intelligent designer which also leads us to the existence of God. First I must explain what an argument for design is and then we will look at Paley’s Watchmaker Theory to give us better insight on this argument. Then I will point

In the past hundred years, a great debate has shaken the foundation religious and scientific beliefs of society. Philosophers have been arguing about such a debate for hundreds of years, but there does not seem to be any consensus on whether on the existence of god and the universe. The ancient world never battled over such questions, rather they had accepted the fact that the natural world was created by some being. However, as society made major advancements, the question about god 's existence and his creation arose causing many debates and arguments to come about. The design arguments are a popular example of such debates, which is very prevalent amongst philosophers and society at large. “Simply put, the design argument, or the argument from design, states that the order and purpose manifest in the works of nature indicate that they were designed by an intelligent being” (Velasquez 251). The greatest proponent of the design argument was philosopher William Paley, who formulated the argument. As a student of philosophy and avid proponent of god 's existence, I support the design argument and philosopher William Paley. I would like to argue against the beliefs of atheism and agnosticism while supporting the design argument as a means of god 's existence. I believe that god is the creator of that which surrounds us and science and nature is a means to prove the existence of god, not rebuttal it. Also I will support the design argument with the

A major concern was the lack of lighting around the school and near points of intrusion. My suggestion is to install security lighting around the building so people will be able to travel on foot or by vehicles safely. Proper lighting can help reduce crime and instances of vandalism around the facility.

Office Space provides many examples of the rationalization of the workforce. According to Weber, Rationalization is the process of replacing the traditional and emotional thought with reason and practicality.Weber believed that most societies throughout history were governed by tradition and that the most significant trend in modern sociology is an increasing rationalization of every part of our daily life. The movie Office Space is an example

Earlier, while making my routine rounds, maintenance personnel approached me to advise that the card readers at building one north entrance and building four west entrance lobby area were found not secure (please see attached pictures for more details). It appears that both readers accidently snap off the doors. I did make sure that they snap back on but these issues are a high priority and ought to fix ASAP as this is a safety matter. Please Note: It might be a good idea to submit a work order to ensure all card readers are properly secure. Thanks in

As society progresses in the advancement of technology, science, self-efficiency, the dichotomy of church and state increases in its separation. However, these advancements do not delete the moral dilemma man faces daily. Man no longer looks towards a higher power as a source of reason, truth, and morality, but rather looks to him/herself, basing their decisions on fallible human reasoning. Modernism, as the dominant worldview, is now the source of explanation, relying on human reasoning as the reference point in all areas of life, including vocation and business practices.

Rationalization is a product of scientific study and technological advances in the western world (Weber 1946). By reducing tradition 's hold on society, rationalization leads to new practices. Instead of human behavior being motivated by customs, traditions, values, and emotions, rationalization leads to behaviors that are guided by reason and practicality (1946). Rationalization not only transformed modern society, but it is also played an important role in the development and rising of Weber’s theory of disenchantment.

The success of this design will be assessed from the function and ergonomics of this design as it needs to function and solve the problem of the lack of security currently, yet whilst stricting the security make sure people that are trying to leave and enter the school properly can do so.Meaning that the system will be deemed successful if it is aesthetically pleasing and welcoming to students and and the community yet have a distinct look that will deter unwanted people. Also it will need to perform the the task of keeping people inside the school safe and the schools property safe as well
