The Importance Of Architecture

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.

The likeness of Lennox can be seen in capital of cluster columns in the main entrance. With the additional style and detail one can understand why it took the time it did and cost as much as it did. After opening in 1899 it was yet to be finished, it took a year for the bell in the tower the ring, and the stone carvers finish their work. On November of 1900 Lennox wrote a letter to the Canadian Architect and builder. Explaining how he would hoist the bells to the top of the Municipal building tower. The largest of the bells was 12,000, pounds, 1.8 meters, 6 feet high, and 2 meters in diameter a massive bell. Drawing on the similarity made regarding the Allegheny Court House Pittsburgh designed by Henry Richardson, and the Old City Hall designed by Lennox. The difference is massive clock at the top of the tower, give the building a little more authority, With a functional clock and bell. The Old City Hall look though it is clearly not a modern building, neither is it an 18th century one. A complement to the sophistication of late 19th century architecture, built in 1899. Once

Architecture has proven to be an important part of society and culture in both art history, and human history. Art is created to reflect the values of the society that creates it, and architecture is no different. Each piece of architecture can be identified by certain characteristics that makes it a part of a specific culture. Both the Great Stupa at Sanchi, located in central India, and the Parthenon, located in Greece, are examples of architecture that share similar characteristics, however can be specified to their location and time period because of their differences. The Great Stupa at Sanchi and the Parthenon, although created for different purposes, proved to be important because of its functionality to society.

In 2014, the sector accounted for 3.8% of the annual Gross Domestic Product (Bureau of Economic Analysis, 2016). Over the past 15 years, the sector have experienced quite a fluctuations and endured a challenging time. Starting with a decent share of 4.5% in the year 2000, the construction sector experienced a frenzy growth with flourishing US economy till 2006. The sector was badly hit during the December 2007-June 2009 recession with a net employment decline of 19.8% (Hadi, 2011). The loss of 1.5 million employment was the largest decline amongst the nonfarm industries. Residential construction was the most badly hit with effect starting almost a year before the start of the actual recession. The market and condition of this housing industry has improved ever since but this improvement is coming at a considerably slower pace (U.S. Census Bureau, Housing units started in the United States (2000-2015), 2016). As a result, the companies need to prepare themselves to face any similar market failure in future. Development of a robust business model with diverse market penetration could be one of the options to grow and prepare for any similar catastrophe (Baack, Harris, & Baack,

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.

The seven wonders of the world have a defined theories because of which those influential structures came into being. A regulatory forces that governed their architecture. What are the iconic buildings of this century which would serve as a wonders for the next generation.

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

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

Regions use the earth mixed with certain ingredients then to be left out in the sun to dry into bricks, when they lacked timber and stone.

Today the global architectural industry has an annual revenue of approximately $204 billion and has an expected growth of 3.0% a year (study by ibisworld.com). In the past century, this large and quickly growing industry had moved its focus on building taller buildings to making the buildings more abstract and almost gravity defying. The world of architecture has changed from decade to decade but throughout all ages some architectural influences have remained constant. The architectural innovations in places like Ancient Egypt, the Aztec civilization, and modern Tokyo were strongly influenced by religion and geography because they played key roles in the design and construction of the building projects.

"Architecture In Words", by Louise Pelletier outlines a comprehensible history of the development of art performance space. On his literature review, he focuses on the early development of theatre with tiered seating on a hill side and circular acting platform. Francis Reid followed this spatial which is stating the need to get audience and performers closer together was satisfied by placing seating in a semi circle around the performance. Theatre performance was a huge success from the development of the Globe theatre in 1559. The Globe Theatre was an open arena based on the Roman coliseum but it built on a much smaller scale. It was a thrust stage in an encircling courtyard which was surrounded by a 300 degree audience in galleries and on the ground (Reid, Theatre Space,2006,P.210)

As the saying goes “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” however long it took to build the capital, the days, months, years, centuries of work can be viewed as a long lasting landmark which paved the way for new and challenging architecture to come (How Roman architecture influenced modern architecture [sa]). According to Tony Rook (2013: [sp] ch.2) the typical Roman temple shows the Etruscan tradition combined with the Greek one. Although some of their premature concepts were acquired from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, Roman architects transformed the body of architecture for all time to come, offering buildings and structures that has never been before, along the side of public buildings and infrastructure that could be used by

The combination of the increased demand for inner-city housing against high vacancy rates for office buildings is providing lucrative development opportunities for adaption into residential apartments. The forecast for house price growth in 2016 was 17% in Perth, 6% in Adelaide, 6% in Melbourne, 8% in Darwin, 19% in Sydney and 16% in Brisbane. Developers are looking towards the adaptive reuse of C and D grade office space across Australia capital cities into residential buildings. The economic prospects for adaptive reuse as residential apartments across Australian capital cities were verified by research conducted by JLL

Engineering& Architects impacted our life today and Rome 's life many years ago. If you don 't think that engendering and Architects are the greatest impact, then what is? Think about this what would happen if these things were never created how would we live today. Roman was a very powerful city. Rome was very efficient they created many magnificent structures weather it 's building, art or langue. Rome was a very powerful city but slowly it started to loss it power. Many great leaders started to change everything but some changes were bad and good. "Rome fell but it 's legacy lived on." This means that even though roman was destroyed they technics they used were still being used even today. Their legacies still used like the art is still being created but by different people. Roman legacies are "mark that you leave". You can motivate people and inspire people. The architects were inspired to make Rome very beautiful and better with these features. Like building roads, the aqueducts, and coliseum. All of these features I believe are part of the roman legacy, don 't you?

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.
