In today’s society the landscape of the city is constantly changing to accommodate for technological innovations, greater populations, and economic opportunity. As the skyline of cities across America are changing at a rate faster than ever seen before, one immense community is being left in the dust. The suburbs of America have refused to change, allowing a great resemblance of what they looked like 50 years ago. The stubbornness of the suburbs to change has led to many issues economically and environmentally. In her essay, “Seventy-Five Percent”, Ellen Dunham-Jones puts forth that 75% of construction in the past decade occurs in the suburban landscape. Yet, in today’s society much of the architectural community contains a strong bias against the suburbs. However, with over half the country’s

As millions of people flooded into the nation’s cities, engineers and architects developed new approaches to housing and transporting such a large number of people. Demand raised the price of land, inducing owners to grow upward rather than outward.

Then many Americans have become refocused on the constitution in a spirit of returning the country to its original objectives and values. Small wonder that many Americans are hoping for a return to the simplicity and unified focus that can be found in the country’s original. Industry contributes £ 92 billion years to UK economic output and employs more than 2.1 million years people. But with the global construction market forecast to grow more than 70 per cent by 2025 the sector must focus its efforts on longer-term talent acquisition remedying its poor public image and closing the skills

A place where practically all of design’s disciplines collide is the home which is why it fascinates me to think how the rental market will change come the arrival of the V&A of Design - Post Transformation Dundee. Are you living in a flat pickled in decades of accumulated tobacco smoke? Carbon dating wallpaper way back to the 80’s? Had your marigolds hermetically sealed since moving in? I can relate.

The Ottawa-Gatineau non- residential construction industry is also a key contributor to the Ottawa-Gatineau economy, especially in the upcoming years as this sectors has seen a surplus of major projects that will continue for years. The city of Ottawa has started phase 1 of the 2.1 billion dollar Light-Rail-Transit project, and is expected to be finished by 2018, with (upon approval) phase 2 would begin and have a similar investment, this is the largest construction project in Ottawa’s history. The city has also invested millions of dollars in the renovations and enhancements of some of its buildings. Some of these building include the Government Conference Centre with a $190 million dollars investment, $360 million investment in the Rideau

Over the years, the consensus appears to be that public and social housing is, in reality, a decaying, crime-ridden, unpromising housing block. This is in stark contrast to the early 20th-century architect, planner, and politician’s utopian dream of public and social housing. Now, according to the endless list of demolished projects, it has failed in every possible way (Bloom, 2015, p.1). For many critics, the problem lies with its architecture. They are large-scale, high-rise, unadorned, monstrosities that stigmatize public and social housing residents. That said, the idea that the architecture is the problem does not account for the complex reality of interaction between design and social outcomes.

Being Intelligent was a vital part of the construction process. The working individuals had to reamin thinking ahead at all times. Many struggled would be proposed, leaving the 'architect' responsible for their fixation. The city had to be both requirdley stable and offering a comfortable lifestyle to it's citizens. For instance, "No privately owned building...could be higher than twice the width of the street... This ensured that the sunlight always reached the street." The city layout was preplanned, resulting in a efficient buildng effort. The poeple would be content, for the sunlight lit up the streets and was a visable factor to the city.

My hobby is loved to travel and I enjoy travelling to another country and places on different cities and learn their architecture, culture and urbanism as a whole. Nowadays, sustainable architecture its one of the most factors we need to think and care about for user at the future because I believe that someday that Sustainable Architecture will become a vital role and become the most important thing and have potential to improve user's quality of life at the future. So, nowadays architecture was one of the important roles to upgrade and provided a vital role to a community daily life at the future. I choose UK one of the places that I want further my study in Architecture because I hope that can adapt with community around the world to make me more matured and sensitive about the local culture. I also choose to further my study in Architecture especially in UK because I believe that strong communities between another races are created from good neighborhoods. From there we can communicate each other, exchange views and learns together because I believe we can more matured enough in study, working and improved our views in architecture if we learn and gets a feedback from other people, community and

There are urgent calls for the building industry be renovated, as Auckland Council’s failing up to 40% of its building inspections. Auckland Council building control manager, Ian McCormick, says the push for Auckland to ramp up its housing supply is putting the construction industry under pressure, and seeing the quality of work take a dangerous dive (Tibshraeny, 2015). Shoddy buildings are going up in Auckland as the council struggles with "significant" quality issues including unskilled construction workers without proper supervision. The warning comes as more land is opened up for development in an effort to take some heat out of the property market. In this essay I will talk about the reasons and causes of the shoddy buildings increased, the quality of home buildings regulated in New Zealand, the measures to improve the situations and the key elements of the quality system for building of a residential home.

The major political influences on the construction industry in London at the moment are the Mayor of London’s Sustainable Design and Construction Supplementary Planning Guidance to the London Plan, the Climate Change Action Plan, and the Governments lack of response to the effects of the recession. The recession has almost completely stopped the building of new houses and has led to the mothballing of most of the

Keeping all this in mind, builders have to work alongside clients to satisfy their project needs. Projects are also being built quicker because of the demand to occupy them instantly.

Substandard building work is on the ascent, with protests to the administration run Licensed Building Practitioners plan up 30 for each penny this year. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment which runs the plan says more developers and different exchanges individuals are coming into the business, some of whom don 't have the right stuff to meet the guidelines. The Auckland Council is likewise seeing an ascent in poor building practices, its general director of building control Ian McCormick says it 's as of now coming up short around 33% of building assessments in the city. He examines the issues alongside Paul Hobbs, the Registrar of Building Practitioner Licensing for the Ministry of Building, Innovation and Employment.

The construction industry much like other industries is dependant with the distribution of “scarce resources” (Drake,1994). Many of its resources known as the factors or production i.e. labour, capital, land etc. are limited (Gregory-Mankiw, 2008), however, wants and desires within the industry are infinite (Myers, 2013). Kishtainy notes that this creates two problems; at any given time, there will be a fixed number of resource, against numerous wants. Sloman 2003 adds that in an effort to rectify this, he argues that we must make choices, in terms of choices within the construction industry Myers suggested that firms need to considered their investments made, how they construct and for whom they construct for.
