The Current State Of The Architecture Industry

In the Board of Architecture (BAR) meeting on November 10th at 4:30, Margie Longshore of SMHa requested for the approval to demolish 1970s addition on 51 Pitt Street located in the Old Historic District. Mrs. Longshore needed the approval for the demolition for one of the first phases of the project. If the BAR motioned her approval, the next phase would involve the construction of a two-story addition and the renovation of the existing building for an Education Center. In 1902, a one-story addition was added to the west side of the building, but in 1951, only portions of the addition still resided on the house. The Bethel United Methodist Church wants more space to put offices and a storage room so that they can store food for the food bank and create administrative offices to keep the Church running. Mrs. Longshore said that before the demolition takes place, the existed walls will be renovated. The BAR approved the first phase of the project. Mrs. Longshore spoke again to request approval for the second phase of the project—“conceptual approval for the new construction of a two-story addition and renovation to the existing building” (BAR Meeting Agenda sheet). The first

developed and articulated in well architectural drawings that will play part in setting the platform

The goal fo architectural and engineered construction drawings is to organize, clarify, and effectively convey an enormous amount of detailed information in order to describe how a complicated building, such as a medical clinic or net-zero house must be built. Andrew's construction drawings have a quality of sophistication that demonstrates his genuine understanding of the complex codes and project criteria. It is important to note, on all of the projects Andrew has been involved in, I have never had a change order; this is undoubetly due to the consistant high quality of his work. I have no doubt that his concetrated attention to detail will be a critical asset in his future career.

To discuss Lanier’s keen views and anticipations regarding Virtual Reality back in the mid 1980s, it would be useful to first cover exactly how far Virtual Reality has progressed up until today. This essay will begin by discussing the history of Virtual Reality and the usage trends. That discussion will then be used to preface a discussion about Lanier’s views that were expressed in A Vintage Virtual Reality Interview. The essay will then finish off by looking at particularly interesting views held by some of today’s futurists and these views will be related back to Lanier’s original exuberant view of Virtual

In the first place, what is a cell phone? Turns out, the real definition, regardless of the source, is very ambiguous. Merriam-Webster compactly calls a cell phone "a PDA that incorporates extra programming capacities (as email or an Internet program)." Oxford Dictionaries, then again, gets somewhat more exact by saying a cell phone "has the capacity perform a hefty portion of the elements of a PC, commonly having a moderately expansive screen and a working framework equipped for running universally useful applications."

Welcome to The Five! Every two weeks I will present you with a list of five things that pertain to the architecture and engineering world. This blog will serve as a valuable resource for those in the building industry, designers, and owners alike. It is my intent that you will find the information useful in your daily business practices.

In my assignment, I will be looking at how the general use of certain software’s and digital technology has taken the world of architecture and Interior Design in another era. And how other articles and journals supports that view and don’t. At the moment, we are living in a world of advanced technology where everything is taught using digital technology, whether it be a mobile device, an iPad or a computer, in a preschool or third level facility. It shows that we are ingrained with it nowadays and even more with the future generation to come. The impact that it has on my chosen career, Architecture and Interior Design has gone on

Advanced mobile phone are gadgets that do altogether more than just make calls and send compositions. They have cameras; they play music and recordings, they send and get the email they skim the web they have GPS satellite course. They also have QWERTY comforts (veritable, virtual onscreen or both) and perhaps most indispensable of all, they run applications. Applications (or applications) are pre-presented or downloadable bits of programming that can do things being what they are, almost anything. They could be preoccupations, they could be business and office gadgets, they could be near and dear organizers or they could be silly time-misusing traps. Applications make advanced cells more like minimal PCs, which is definitely what they are. The depiction of a front line advanced cell sounds just like a PC, with multi-focus processors, gigabytes of memory, and a veritable working structure. In this way, an advanced mobile phone is a gadget that carries on from various perspectives like an adaptable PC that is always connected to the web and a

All kinds of strange landmarks in China has exceeded “the Tyrant city: Dubai” where its was also described as the contemporary architectural museum. Chinese cities are entering the era of the craziest, however, its soon coming to an end.

There are mobile applications for just about everything. There are “apps” for games, social networking, banking, shopping, web browsers, word processors, weather, GPS,

The first handheld mobile device was first marketed in 1983, and it was called Motorola DynaTac 8000X. The mobile device has a dimension of 13x1.75x3.5, and weighed 2.5 pounds (Clark, John F.).The functionality of the Motorola DynaTac 8000X had a fairly low efficiency compared to our recent mobile handheld devices such as the Samsung

Modern building and designing practices have come a long way away from traditional methodologies. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has emerged onto the forefront as a critical technology in the contemporary building design practice and construction industry (Mandhar, & Mandhar, 2013; Panuwatwanich, et. al, 2013; Abbasnejad, & Moud, 2013; Arnett & Quadrato, 2012). There are however, several gaps observed in its adoption due to gaps between the industry and academia. These gaps will be studied during the course of this research in an exploratory manner with the ultimate objective to aid the adoption of BIM in industry.

Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses. Very few people, however, really know what VR is and what are its open problems are. In this report a historical overview of virtual reality is presented, basic terminology as an introduction are listed, followed by applications of this technology in science, work, and entertainment areas. Its present developments are thoroughly discussed in this report. Finally, the future of VR is considered in two aspects: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR on life of average people is speculated.

There are different ways of invitation to tender. Once the client chooses to take the project in mind further, either directly approaches the contractor or through an architect. Client directly approaches the builder for the simple or low value work such as house decoration or house extension. The builder comes to the premises where the job will carry out, client explains the job and awaits for the offer. Then builder’s estimator measures the work, price it and makes the offer according to builder’s own terms and conditions.

More and more applications that were used in the PC and laptop began to be used with the mobile. It was with the availability of internet with the mobile that made companies like Nokia look for platforms to deliver the service- including surfing and connecting to social media that prompted developers to begin developing programs for this segment. It was also this development that made Microsoft consider going into the mobile sector since the company had already established itself in the tablet segment.
