The recommended building is then measured at every floor level, there will be no deductions for any internal walls, stairs or any elevator areas. Previously similar building costs are divided by the construction cost due to the internal floor space. Adjustments could be made especially for the location or the inflation; where as specification adjustments are much more harder to estimate. Specific judgements are made for the size & shape, the amount of storeys, services, ground conditions aswell as the conditions and the standard of the completed works. A separate evaluation ought to be made for any external works, demolitions, drainage and any incoming services which can be seen as being very different for comparative

During its history, Sufism has had a significant and profound influence on Architecture. Sufism applies the knowledge of the sacred to tangible forms that represent the creative power of the soul. The exceptional and captivating beauty of Sufi art echoes the sacred harmony and unity principles. It should be noted that in the different Islamic civilizations, like Iranian Architectural School, Sufism has radiated far beyond spiritual paths and greatly inspired the whole society (Ahadi, 2011). The important elements of human arts are moulded by Sufism and Mysticism; they present reflections of human sensitivity, refinement, and profundity in different styles. As is apparent in Iranian Architectural history, Sufism and Mysticism have particular impact upon building civilizations. Aim of this research is to observe the role of Sufism and significance of Mysticism in shaping Iranian Architectural School.

Under the trend of globalization Chinese architects are always struggling in how to engage in the trend of globalization and keep its unique culture and tradition. There are a large of numbers of cities in China undergoing a delirious wave of development. Traditional dwellings are demolished everyday replaced by high-rise commercial high-rise buildings which has no characteristic. The image of cities became similar and lost their identity. There are normally two ways to deal with this identity crisis. One way is to build landmark to display it character which always ignore the tradition of the city. An example is the Galaxy Soho designed Zaha Hadid, which as a giant out-space invader intrude in a historical area of Beijing Hutong area without any considering the surrounding texture and culture. The other way is considering the tradition but in fact it just superficially make a direct reference to tradition forms. For example, on the street of Xi’an the first capital city in China, there are a lots of buildings topped with a pitched roof on high-rise to structure or Shanghai Museum which directly mimic a form of traditional cooking vessel. Those buildings always as kitsch for their superficial mimic.

As an architecture student, I am always fancy with the design and construction of a building. Although there are a lot of amazing modern buildings that have been constructed in the recent centuries, it doesn’t mean that there are less impressive structures in the past. History has given us many great examples of incredible and exquisite architectures: the Great Wall in China, The Colosseum in Rome, The Great Pyramid of Giza, and many others.

Typology is the taxonomic classification of characteristics found in buildings and urban places, according to their association with different groups, such as degrees of development, levels of formality, and thought processes. It stands to reason that 2 buildings with the same typology would have more similarities than they would differences. However this is not always the case. More often than not buildings with the same typology can differ greatly. Take for example the Bertram House and the Tubac House. These two buildings are both a house typology however they represent this same typology in varying ways – some ways similar others vastly different. These differences have come about due to many influences such as style, lighting, form, spatial organization, plan of the building, school of thought, separation of private, semi-private and public space, materiality, and focus of the building. This essay aims to theorize how buildings with the same typology can have such massive differences between them.

Modern architecture was produced during a period of transformation broadly categorized as modernity. Modernity should not be equipped with the social, political, economic, and technological transformation which began in the seventeenth century and continued well into the twentieth century. Rather, it must be understood at the attitudes towards whose changes. Modernity has been variously described as: a slow transformation and re-evaluation of our relationship with the past; a complete break from the past; a celebration of the chaos brought about by technological changes in industry, transportation and communication; a loss of tradition and home; a project of modernization and progress towards a better world; and a permanent state of transformation and change. Modern architecture is defined as a term used to describe simplified and unornamented building styles of the late 19th and 20th century, as a reaction towards the design of excesses to the design excesses of the Victorian and Edwardian period. Qualities of this style consist of being inspired by the machine aesthetics. In other words letting the materials and structuring help determine the form and define the building according to its functional requirements and materials to be used. Clean and simplified forms were preferred and all unnecessary details were banished. An example of modern architecture can be explained and seen by Zaha Hadid’s Vitra Fire Station built in 1990. Constructed as a closure at the end of a
