In addition, urban design is a profession that concerns ideas and possibilities in creative articulation of space in this kind of field. In short, it shapes environments with the experiential quality of the physical forms and spaces. The creation of space in urban design is also regarded as the most prominent aspect of urban design. The artistic principles that are an part of creating form and spatial definition consists of multiple elements such as order, unity, balance, scale, symmetry, rhythm, contrast, and texture, etc. With the elements all combined together, it creates a stunning scene of beauty. Not surprisingly, like indicated before, urban design involves place-making, the creation of a setting that imparts a sense of place to an area. This process of place-making is achieved by establishing unique architecture in neighborhood to make it identifiable. The lovely vistas, identifiable landmarks and focal points, and a human element established by compatible scales of development

1. The reasons why some buildings are in the floodplains is because of agricultural industry. Another reason is population growth and expansion into those areas where people felt safe because of improvements of levees. Even though people were told about the dangers most people relied on disaster insurance instead of flood insurance. There should be laws that prohibit further development of these areas because it is costing the taxpayers lots of money for people that want to live in these areas that know the risks. If there were laws in place they could use some of the land as soccer fields and football fields as overflow ponds if they do want to build in a floodplain they need to raise the ground up by hauling in soils that will let the water pass through into those overfill ponds.

RMIT UNIVERSITY HISTORY OF 20TH CENTURY WESTERN ARCHITECTURE CRITICAL ESSAY : QUESTION 1 Name : Valerie Joe C Arnesto Student ID : S3427083 Tutorial Day & Time : Monday 12.30pm Tutor : Christine Phillips Question 1. Choose an architect or practice whose work is covered by or relevant to this course and discuss critically one or more of their design projects or drawings or urban proposals as precedent case-studies. Selectively situate this work in relation to their body of work, and against the practices and concerns of the period. Focus on the architectural qualities of a specific key aspect of the design of the projects. Selectively consider how they might relate to the historical situation, cultural values, theoretical concerns and design practices of the time.

Jeremiah R. Blocker Final Term Paper December 3, 2013 Seaside: The Development of a Charming American Town There is a movement among architects, city planners, designers and real estate developers that desire to return to a simpler way of living. A way of designing communities that at its essence captures the design traditions of years past while also avoiding some of the pitfalls of modern city development. A desire exists to avoid the prefabricated homes and endless urban sprawl of strip malls that have arisen all over the modern American landscape. Some see this as a return to classical traditions of city design that incorporates the rich architectural planning of traditional, small southern towns. For these people, the

The old saying, “form follows function”, implies that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based on its intended function or purpose. This principle, which I find intriguing and was introduced to me during my undergraduate architecture study, was propounded by Louis Henry Sullivan, an American Architect who is also referred to as the "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". Hence, I have developed a keen interest in the science, technology, construction, and functionality of sophisticated edifices. Also, I envision myself being globally competitive, and as a professional asset to my home country and beyond. These has led to a deep desire to further my education and pursue a Master of Architecture program and I believe the Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is the right academic environment in which to do so. The quality education offered by the outstanding faculty as well as the effort at promoting innovative concepts, cross-cultural diversity, and great alumni networks, are undeniable perks obtainable at Bowling Green State University. Studying at the Bowling Green State University will provide the opportunity that would expose me to new innovations and concepts, nurture and enhance my skills, as well as make me a competent and seasoned architect that clients can rely on.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines architecture as the art or science of designing and creating buildings. Almost all locations around the world have at least one or several buildings that are of historical significance or greatly admired. These buildings not only identify its citizens and government, but the state.

Urban Design Urban Design means many things to different people, consequently the term is often misunderstood, and greatly misused. Urban design may loose some of it’s ambivalence if considered as a process to accomodate a changing environment. This process which emphasizes design possibilities rather than design finalities develops from consideration of long range needs and goals and the city’s character. The ends (the built enviroment) develop from the means, the cities decision making process. The city regulates and approves development, suggests development scenerioes, and various guidelines. By going through this process the character of the city is identified.

Before the end of my second year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute School of Architecture, I began to ponder on the possibility of quitting architecture. It was a convoluted time of uncertainty; I wasn’t sure whether I was prepared to become an architect and take on the responsibility and commitment to better the built environment. Nevertheless, I decided to give myself one last shot at architecture before giving up – I accepted the internship offer from MAD Architects in Beijing, China. There, I got to meet many young architects

Arch 8011 Research Methods 2013 Jonathan Jordan, 1361176 ARCHITECTURE: WORDS OR SHAPES Introduction 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
