Functions And Spaces Of A Building

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.

Line of Sight—one important kinds of implied line is a function of line of sigh, the direction the figures in a given composition are looking. Titian artwork together the three separate horizontal area of the piece; God the father above, the Virgin Mary in the middle and the Apostles below. The lines that are create are simple, interlocking, symmetrical triangles. The lines are to serve to unify the worlds of the divine and the mortal.

When designing and building structures, the social and political pressures influence the way they appear.

Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls. These vertical and horizontal planes further dictate a rhythmic continuity throughout the building. Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)

It is a line joining the centre of the nose to the centre of the tail. It is also referred as the roll axis because the aircraft, when externally disturbed or in reaction to the control input from the pilot, raise one wing and drops the other. Thus it rolls along the longitudinal or horizontal axis.

Axis mundi is often represented as vertical line what reaches towards heaven such a s pillar, ladder,

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

a two-dimensional object with real or implied lines that create the sense of direction and movement:

Diversity surrounds us in our every day lives. Diversity is the individual differences and similarities that exist

Everyday we live and move through spaces without realizing the influence they can have on our daily lives. Built environments are designed to directly affect behaviour and attitudes in a specific and intended way; this can be referred to as architectural determinism (Marmot 2002). Almost all architectural patterns use the physical arrangement of elements, and materials to influence behavior. This can range from placing design elements in specific places to encourage or discourage people’s interaction with them, placing them to prevent access to a specific area, or placing them to direct or

“ Architecture organizes and structures space for us, and its interiors and the objects enclosing and inhabiting its rooms can facilitate or inhibit our activities by the way they use this language”(Lawson pg.6).

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

Finally, many tools were used to document our site visits that would used during the modeling of the buildings. As stated before, PlanGrid was very useful when viewing the construction sheets. PlanGrid was used on an iPad for easy access during the site visit. The iPad, as well as our phones, was used to take pictures of any notable changes or major features of the buildings. The pictures were used as references during the modeling portion of the project. A measuring tape was also used to take the dimensions of sections of the buildings that were not clearly labeled on the construction sheets. For example, the Architecture Annex’s terrance needed a measuring tape to measure its dimensions because the top-down view was absent from the
