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.

Religion was very important in the Ottoman Empire, and it had a great influence on various activities done in the empire.

When you have buildings that fall to the ground you often have a lot of questions and don’t know where to start the process of questioning the people that were directly involved with the construction of the towers. Yet even those who worked to build the towers were stuck looking at each other because they had no idea how what occurred with the falling of the towers could have happened. The architects who built the towers were on tape to testify against the reports. The towers were built to withstand the impact of more than one airliner. Yet Frank De Martini, (WTC construction manager) said with the attacks there was not enough damage caused to the structures to force any type of collapse especially in the manor that they did.

In conclusion, it is clear that both the Arab Empires and the Ottoman-Turks Empire have major accomplishments in different fields.

At a point in history a lot of moors occupied a great portion of Spain and they created some beautiful architecture with a Spanish twist to it which includes the great mosque of Cordoba which has a church embedded in it. Throughout history the Spanish architecture has been shaped by the changing trends in Europe. In the start of the 12th century the gothic style was introduced which greatly influenced the styles in the buildings like the cathedral of Toledo, Burgos and Leon. The renaissance trend in Europe greatly influenced the Spanish architecture. Spanish architectures were not just about buildings they were also a means of communication. Each architecture that was created reflected the community’s values, pursuits and culture. Each Spanish building erected showed the dominance of a cultural group in the community and the geographical area it was erected in showed the extent of their power and dominance. Such buildings often bore an identifying sign for example the sign of a church was different from that of a mosque. The church’s sign was significantly that of a cross while that of a mosque bore that of a crescent moon and a star and it signified the significance or dominance of a religious group or cultural group in that area. The middle ages were an exciting period in the history of Spanish architecture and it was at that time there was the entrance of the moors which means Muslim in Spanish. And there was a clash between Muslims and Christians in that time of history. At that time the Christians and Muslims emerged their cultures together to form the Mozarabic architecture. It was not uncommon to see a church being converted to a mosque and vice versa. The great church of Cordoba with a church embedded in it was a good opportunity to see how Christians and Muslims saw their relationship with

As Winston Churchill once said “History is written by the victors”. When looking into past events there will always be more than one side to a story, yet for many centuries the study of history concentrated on the retail of an specific person or group who would generally impose their own ideas and perspective of the past. This creates something called historical bias which in term makes most of the historical documents fallacious. Architectural history is no stranger to this trend; since most of of our records come from Western historians (Greek, Roman, European). Western movements and architects are depicted as artistic and influential architecture while Eastern architecture is rarely credited or talked about. The Ottomans had equally significant contributions to architecture development thanks to architects such as Koca Sinan (1538-1588). While western architects such as Michelangelo are commonly known as some of the greatest architects of the century,

The splendor and beauty of Iranian architecture, especially during the Islamic era, are related to decoration and design. After the invasion of Iran by the Arabs and the introduction of Islam to Iran, the Iranian classical architecture advent significantly changed, and we saw the Arabic calligraphy decoration of the mosques in Iran. The principles of aesthetics in the art of calligraphy in Iran are based precisely on the principles of the beauty of ancient Iranian and Islamic art.

Larkin put "The Building" in the middle of his collection for a reason, it is a pillar that supports the rest of the collection with its long lines and many verses, and because of this, is maybe a bit more clearer than some of his other poems in the ideas and views that are expressed through it. Of course, being a Larkin a poem, there is the obligatory underlayer which so many people miss, but in "The Building" it is easier to discern and comprehend.

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

It is noticed from the literature and results that Taj Mahal is among the prominent Mughal buildings that has unique interior characteristics. One of the most prominent characteristics of the Mughal Interior Architecture and Design is the Synthesis of Indian and Persian Style. The buildings contain the style of both the culture and tradition due to which their designs are exceptional and unique. The construction is also made in the manner that makes the existence of these buildings inimitable. The Taj Mahal is based on square platform and made up of white marble all over the building. This type of structure and design is not found in any other building. Therefore, based on the case study of Taj Mahal, it is noticed that Mughal interior architecture and design is distinctive. The complete Mughal architecture is an excellent combination of different local and foreign characteristics, which relates it globally with different particular types of architecture. These are also a source of motivation to some other types of architecture with particular cultural
