Unique Capabilities Of Modelling Construction Materials

It could be seen that the influence on the conception of this craftwork are based on Keyser’s living place. The exterior of the craftwork is likely to store a traditional value and symbolize her community custom. The simplicity portrayed by the design indicates its friendly function as it serves either as a place to keep miscellaneous items or acts as a collection to the people.

This research essay explores the culture, climate and material resources of the Haida Gwaii (Haida People) First Nation of British Columbia, Canada.

Native American architecture varies greatly from region to region throughout North America, and was influenced by factors such as climate, kind of community, and the natural environment. Whereas some buildings were designed and constructed for specified functions, others, such as Anasazi great houses, were massive multi-purpose structures. Because great houses from Chaco Canyon are so well preserved, it is possible to have a decent understanding of the structure of Anasazi architecture for analysis. A close examination of the innovative Anasazi great house architecture of the Chaco Canyon region reveals its utilitarian value.

Inuit Identity is a complex and ultimately impossible to narrow into one specific idea. Inuit culture, like any culture, is varied and changes constantly. However, it is possible to observe some of the complexities of Inuit culture through the development of Inuit Art. Sculptures and carvings have been a major part of Inuit art, and have been intertwined with ideas of Inuit Identity. Therefore, Contemporary Inuit Sculpture is demonstrative of Inuit Culture. Sculpture developed from the Inuit’s first contact with Quallunaat artists, it feature scenes of everyday life, has a distinct style in each region and has evolved with time and influence.

One of the principal artwork that described in this episode is how the artist used the fallen tree into the building structure. The artist’s point of doing this is that the building is created for the nature purpose, and the tree is helpful for his study. As we all can see in the episode, in the beginning part of the episode, we can see that the artist organize people to focus on the research about specific area from the forest, such as moss, fungi, herbariums, and insects. Those things can be easily found in the tree or the surrounding areas. The reason that the artist choose the fallen tree

This work does address to part of my cultural heritage by being Hawaiian.

Discussions with MBIE continue as we strive to achieve resolution of their controversial Guidance document on Manufactured Building Solutions. As it currently stands this document defines production of frames and trusses as Building Work and /or Restricted Building Work with the potential for major implications for both F&T Fabricators and their customers, and the construction sector in general.

Furthermore, the rooms created for living, storage, and ceremonies, provided places for the skilled artisans to fashion stone tools like axes, knives, and awls.

While the raku (meaning enjoyment, comfort, or ease) ware is commonly used when creating tea bowls, Kenzan avoided this technique due to having a cousin who adopted into the Raku family (Wilson). So rather than using the hand molded approach that is often used for objects later to be used in a tea ceremony, he decided to use his own methods and approach that still fitted the aesthetics of the tea ceremony. The bowl, which was treated like a three-dimensional canvas, is distinctive to Kenzan’s background in painting and calligraphy.

Throughout Essays in Idleness, Yoshida Kenko occasionally discusses his taste in houses, interior decorations, and gardens. His preference in houses and decorations is based on the idea that “It is excellent for a man to be simple in his tastes, to avoid extravagance” (Kenko 17). He writes that a house, even if it is outdated and plain, is appealing because of its “unassuming beauty” (Kenko 10). Kenko then explains what exactly makes a house so beautiful. He describes an ideal house as having a grove of trees that look almost ancient, a garden filled with charming plants, a veranda, and a hand-made wooden fence. Lastly, the house should have some personal effects lying around, so the house feels lived in. On the contrary, a fancy house that was built by many workers and is filled with modern, exotic furnishings is ugly and depressing. The house and its environment looks and feels unnatural, and is unpleasant to live in for a

This essay will explore an understanding into stilt houses built over water on the island of Borneo of Southeast Asia before the nineteenth century. I chose to specifically investigate the value of stilt houses in Borneo because as a singular building how it became the container of a life for various the tribes. Following the migratory patterns of these tribes into Borneo and across it, I hope to unravel how these tribes ‘fashion’ their environment but more importantly the characteristics of the stilt house and its value to its community. The map below shows where Borneo is in relation to the Southeast Asia area.

When thinking about modern architecture, the simplified appearance is the first impression to me, which is a significant difference from the designs before. And then the intentionally showed texture on the exterior walls of these houses would always draw my attention. The arrangement of space in modern houses experienced a significant change as well, the free floor plan, considered as one of the key points of new architecture, which is supported by the improvement in strength of materials is also worth to be analysed. Moving indoors, the use of materials in interior decorations aimed to show the texture and natural feeling of materials as well. Furthermore, designs are nothing without light, the interaction of materials with lighting is the highlight of indoor designs. When placed in pleasing surroundings, outdoor elements are sometimes directly use as another material in decorating the spaces, so that owners could

NX is a solid modeling program created by Siemons which is used by multiple companies around the world and is deemed an industry standard. This semester was the first time I had heard of NX and at first, I was a little weary as to how I would adjust to using it. I previously had only used AutoDesk Inventor and AutoCAD, but due to NX’s layout being extremely similar to that of Inventor it made the transition very smooth.
