The Impact Of Using Computer Aided Architectural Design

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.

Creativity is an abstract concept that is crucial as part of our advancements of mankind whether that be in the scientific fields with new inventions and research or in the artistic fields with new paintings and amazing portraits, but most people do not understand that the gift of creativity can be a crucial source of innovative ideas. As a result of the need of creativity, schools must include creativity as part of the daily curriculum that students learn. Students already spent seven hours a day at school, exposing them to a class that helps them efficiently and correctly use creativity would be beneficial to not only students but to all members of society. Places of education such as high schools must include classes in creativity in order to create

Our beliefs, time, money, and actions are all being fought over with design as the arsenal. The graphic designer learns how to participate in this fight through education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills. Though helpful, a formal education in design is not what is meant here. The education needed is more about understanding the previously mentioned rules we are working with. Intuition is required in order to know when it is appropriate to adjust or disregard these rules. Creativity is needed because redundancy will not break through the wall into the internal world. Technical skills are essential because poor craft reduces credibility. This idea of the world as an arena is a reoccurring theme in The Cheese Monkeys, and the importance of education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills have been further reinforced to us through the grading process and classroom discussions in Graphic Design

We also learn that creativity in the classroom has a positive effect on vocabulary, increases creative problem solving skills, increases the enjoyability of learning, and if used in conjunction with technology can help develop skills in the creative use of technology that will stay with them throughout their lives.

Creativity is often more about the process rather than the end project, it is useful for many reasons:

In this document, George has begun building his credibility by clearly describing his experience in the industry, and convincing to his audience by citing the facts from his own experience. For instance, he is by emphasizing the difficulties and struggles in the real design industry. Therefore, at the end of the document, he is given a message to his audience that it is important to understand that there are things they should remember in order to search for succeed. One of the examples he is making a statement to the present and future designers/ design students, “you have to ask yourself one question”, which he wants them to understand that it is important to ask themselves a question when they are about to give up and put themselves in a positive mindset for reaching their goals.

At a local level and as an educator and parent, I see no indication that schooling is preparing students for innovation and creativity. Even when influenced by constructivist or universal design ideas, school tasks - starting in elementary school, up until CEGEP- are generally highly structured, predictable and offered in cookie cutter format. There is little room for creativity and few subjects are regularly offered, such as music or visual arts, that support creativity and out of the box thinking to allow for a more well-rounded approach to education as suggested in the discussion forum (Hector,

Get creativity flowing as students don their hardhats to learn the complexities of designing structures! From integrating mechanics into structures to investigating the impacts of external forces, learners move through advanced, hands-on building and design activities. With new buildings reaching higher into the sky, architects and engineers are constantly working through questions of structure and style. Each day, students tackle those same challenges as they team up to develop an understanding of the real-world applications of

I began to gain experience technical expertise starting in high school at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. There was a gap between the technical skills that I obtained over time, including that of AutoCAD and Revit Architecture, and a true sense of design. For the most part, I learned through self teaching and trial and error. There was still a gap between what I was able to produce digitally and physically, and the design intent. Working with the Lawrence Design Group firm during my Senior year of High School, I gained an understanding of how the workplace functioned in the Architectural Field.

My creativity is not only expressed by design but also immerses into other aspects of my life. I started writing a new story-line in which the hero didn't survive after I finished reading the science fiction The End of Eternity; when Lady Gaga's voice conquered my classroom, new melodies resounded in my head and pounded against my ventricles; I designed a new traffic signal system that could alleviate the traffic jams after getting stuck on the roads every day. Creating makes me sensitive to new ideas and able to propose solutions to problems.

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

To conclude, creativity appears to be a general term. It's meaning differs from one person to another. Therefore, the question of "do schools kill creativity?" remains unrevealed. Some think that schools do kill creativity and others don’t, and the answers are based on the individual's idea about creativity. Moreover, the findings of the study about creativity learning are promising. As a result, we may be able to facilitate creativity learning in

Architecture had a great influence on graphic design from the 1900's to 1950's. Many art movements and artists influenced Graphic Design. Peter Behrens, El Lissitesky, Bauhaus, and Futurism all greatly impacted the Graphic Design concepts of today. Design was blended with architecture, especially in the Bauhaus school in Germany.

Third year has marked a turning point in my attitudes towards architecture as a began to fully embrace the use of technology in design. Previously, I had limited my use of technology and mostly relied on traditional methods from the production of design drawings and models. However, the use of technology in the
