Site context
The Regents Place pavilion is a freestanding structure installed in 2009 in a 13-acre retail, leisure and office development situated near Euston, London. It is the product of an architectural and engineering collaboration between Carmody Groarke Architects and Arup Engineers and is the winner of the 2010 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Award for architectural excellence. The pavilion stands between two Terry Farrell office buildings on Osnaburgh Street, and faces John Soane’s 1825 Holy Trinity Church located near the circular traffic island of Great Portland Street tube station.
The design was submitted for The Architecture Foundation competition in 2007. The competition was part of the Terry Farrell master

Danby is a key figure in the work by British Land in Regents Place, which began in 1996 with the demolition of the studios and head office of Thames Television, a former ITV company. The redevelopment of the Euston road frontage involved four new office buildings and Triton Square, a pedestrian plaza. On the western part of the site was the development of Osnaburgh Street, which was completed in 2009. This included
The comedian Kenneth Williams’ Marlborough house had to be demolished in order for the development to be undertaken by British Land. This was Kenneth’s home from 1972 to 1988.

The pavilion is 20 metres by 5 metres in plan, consisting of 258 three-millimetre hollow rectangular elements, measuring 50 millimetres by 50 millimetres. The thickness of the stainless steel is 4 millimetres. These are standing without any cross bracing, in order to comply harmoniously with the design of the pavilion, and are joined only at the top with a decorative structural lattice. The vertical elements reach 7.8 metres in height, usually rounded up to 8 metres. This is also the extent of the colonnades of the surrounding buildings. A 3mm plate stainless steel canopy is held up by the vertical elements.
The structure is standing at 45 degrees in order for it to be seen from the street front and create unison with the
Then, on the other side of that, there is a triangular roofed structure with an ally behind it and the beginning of more buildings on the other side. On the very bottom of the image, in front of the triangular building, there is a parking lot with a couple of dark colored cars. Lining the bottom edge, is the top of a chain-link fence.
King Island Council is custodian of an extensive range of community assets that it provides to facilitate the delivery of its services to the community. Buildings are an important component of Council’s asset portfolio. In order to facilitate the provision of its services to the community, KI Council manages an extensive range of community assets and one of the more significant asset groups are buildings. In developing this plan, it was identified that Council’s interests historically (and in line with community’s expectations) extended beyond Council owned assets to other community facilities. The purpose of this Buildings Asset Management Plan is to:
On June 23, 2006 Clarence Eggleton sold his 1/4 of ownership of the property at 1237
With this project comes heavy opposition from people all over the Sunshine Coast. Many people feel that the design of this project is not aesthetically pleasing and will not fit in with the “quaint” style of our town. I would like to pose the question what is the style of this town? Is there a style of architecture that is recognizable feature of Gibsons or does the the differentiation of all buildings make Gibsons unique. One other problem that has been posed is the breaking of the OCP height restrictions. The proposed height for The George is 25 metres which is approximately 8 stories, double the current OCP restrictions. People worry that if we were to change the rules for one building would other developers run in and try slip under the rules too. For this town to further flourish we need to think about changing some of the rules of the OCP to allow projects that will help further our community culturally, and economically.
Those of us who are now here carry on the vision of people like Don Hanauer, former Director of Operations for St. Albans. He saw the beauty in this building and had a vision of restoring it to its former glory. As outlined in the final chapter of this book, we have worked on a number of special events developed to generate funding for the structure’s restoration.
The range of housing choice was discussed, which Dr. Laura Johnson talked about the re-planning of Regent Park and Dr. Markus Moos talked about the housing for young adults.
The Queens house, his first residential project gave him the chance to implement these ideas in practice. Jones career was prolific, although a lot of what he created or modified has since disappeared. Some of the buildings that remain include Banqueting Hall at Whitehall, the Queen's Chapel at St James's Palace and St Paul's Church. He also consulted on the reconstruction of Somerset House and the Covent Garden Piazza.
From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as
When the Provincial Government announced the purchase of this land, in 1980, it was planned that this historical marvel would be demolished. It was only after some special interest groups came together that this beautiful building was saved.
Taking a design that was once used for events, now abandoned and derelict, and reinventing its potential to be used by all to enrich their lives and provide a social and content atmosphere is a goal of attaining. It will be something extraordinary to redesign a building and mix existing features to make a new design that everyone can appreciate. “Instead of downplaying the 110-year-old building, S&T made enthusiastic use of the old timber floors, brick walls and open trusses, celebrating heritage alongside contemporary design.” (Arch Daily). No matter what materials, space, or structure is being used within a design, in the end, it is always about the creativity for its achievement. “Creativity is about play and a kind of willingness to go with your intuition. It’s crucial for an artist. If you know where you are going and what you are going to do, why do it?” (Freshome). Capturing memories and expressing them into a design that tells a story that has never been told is what makes this project, inimitable; it cannot be special if it was heard or seen before. Everyone has a way of
Linda Loman is often the metaphorical glue holding her family together through support and encouragement yet, when unable to get her children to assist their father is willing to force her children to leave in order to protect her husband from further harm. For Example, “Either he's your father and you pay him that respect, or else you're not to come here.” (Miller Act 1: 1579) this is important as it depicts the love she has for her husband as she will not continue to tolerate the amount of stress her children continue to bring to Willy. Through her encouragement her family attempted to progress which gave Willy the courage to ask Howard if he can work in New York and Biff to ask for a job which resulted in Willy getting fired and Biff feeling
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. This may involve a selective analysis of compositional design practices, material fabrication production and the experiential reception of built outcomes of the projects.
To what extent is the relationship between China’s economic prosperity and its population’s quality of life a positive one?
Human resources policies are at the heart of every business but when companies deviate from those policies or create a culture of their own polices that can be a recipe for disaster. Having strong human resource policies can distinguish companies from the rest and set them out to be the best but in the case of the following companies human resource policies we either neglected or altered and it cost the company more in the end. The nature of business is to make money and the policies set forth by human resources are the ethical guidelines that enable companies to accomplish that with respect to the financial world that they are involved. I will look into the policies and see whether they were a sound from the beginning or whether the policies were doomed from the start. I will see whether the policies had any ethical merits and how this was overlooked it there was a good foundation. I will look into some problems with human resource policies then I will go over companies polices that caused a near bankruptcy and a company policy that caused a complete failure.
Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls. These vertical and horizontal planes further dictate a rhythmic continuity throughout the building. Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)
