Why Hose Tower Matters

The building was a marvel of modern engineering. A carbon neutral, solar and geothermal powered monument to the future. The outside of the building a sleek combination of recycled redwood and interlocking solar panels. The inside’s high vaulted ceilings and sleek white pillars formed a cavernous inner space. Three classrooms divided the building into working spaces. The bright L.E.D lighting and modern fixtures completed the buildings futuristic design. This building was the newest in a long line of additions to my middle school's campus.

Because of the his brilliant idea, he broke “all the standard rules of the day” in its design by using steel to replace wood to build the water tower. He explained to use the eight column were better preference to four, as it can bring the task placed upon the metal of the tank shell to transmit the loads to the post well within the limits which existing structures have shown to be safe. The height and capacity of the water tower were monumental at that time, nevertheless they were considered the requirement for a thriving

I contribute my birth to the building of that plant as well as the force that helped bring together everything that has impacted my life. A couple of decades after the plant had opened its doors, the economic opportunity that encompassed Rockdale

People drive past El Paso High School every day and never bother to admire the beautiful architecture of the 100-year-old building that towers above them. I’ve always thought it was a striking building but, like many other El Pasoans, had no idea about the history behind why it was built the way it was. A couple of books and a nice long look at the school, I now have a better understanding and appreciation for Henry Trost’s marvelous works. Geoffrey Wright, an El Paso architect, describes Henry Trost’s grand design of El Paso High School as a “renaissance revival” in a 1991 article in the Austin American-Statesman, which wasn’t entirely accurate. Although he was inaccurate in this remark, he made another observation that was spot-on,

Over the years, gentrification has been given many definitions from simply referring to, “…instances of new arrivals who were buying and bidding up old housing stock”, (Sanneh, 2016) to, “…disinvested areas of the city that are now experiencing rapid and significant increases in land and real estate values” (Jennings, Terrell, Douglas, Barnett & Harding, 2016, pg. 9) and many more. As noted previously gentrification is occurring throughout the world and the Midwest is not immune. The process of gentrification tends to go like so: visitors stumble upon a disinvested area that they take an interest in. Whether because the rent is cheap or the area is vibrant, they fall in love and decide to pack up their home and relocate. This scenario, from one point of view, can be seen as a story of a person deciding to broaden their horizon and see what other parts of the world has to offer. While the other point of view may see this as a possible financial burden, a cause for the major changes in the place they call their home and the likelihood of displacement.

3) They design the plumbing systems for the buildings which include water supply and drains.

Gentrification was something I was experiencing it first hand without noticing for years and when I did realizing it I believe that gentrification is considered a positive change from a concrete perspective and it may be very difficult and unacceptable for many local people to sacrifice the culture they have valued and built over many generations. In other words, gentrification is a “just” process and although there are sacrifices that comes along with the process to improve the city or a district, it will eventually happen over the course of time for economical and social benefits in a big picture. For example, the city of belmont has been recorded as one of the gentrified areas in the San Francisco Bay Area by Urban Displacement Map and

DISCUSSION: Commissioner Everett introduced those present in regards to Jack Robinson and Randy Edie’s concerns regarding access to their property, which they feel is obstructed by a gate along State Dam Rd. (installed by Warwick Township) to the entrance of Trenton Heritage Park. Also present were Philip Knisely, Warwick Township Trustee, Dan Heter, property owner, and Matt Durbin, leasee of county property (pays taxes on the property and maintains the levy).

If a neighborhood this elegant is rarely used, it begs the question; why bother with its expensive upkeep instead of putting up modern developments? How does the preservation of St. James' homes benefit other

Ralph and your family contributed a foundation gift to the rebuilding of the Mary Winspear Centre at a critical time in 2000. You believed in the idea when it was still just a dream and as a result encouraged others to follow your leadership - this leadership gift was so important and continues as a great legacy as the Bodine Family Hall is in daily use by so many users.

The non-profit organization SEED (South East Economic Development) was established to rehabilitate the neighborhood in 1986. The neighborhood was designated as a historic district by the city of Grand Rapids in 1997 because of its historic significance in community planning

Once one got nearer, the archway opened up until one could see the whole front of the house in a somehow eerie way. Around the windows grew ivy and creepers, twisting their way up to the roof in a claw like fashion. The windows

One of the reasons clean innovations grabs my attention because it’s about civil engineering, which is my major. I was happy to understand my major more from Chesbrough and the Stevens the author. According to the book, Chesbrough was a water-supply engineer. “Other structures had to be moved as well as lifted to make way for the sewer”, this quote means, In Chicago, working lifted it the build to makes sewer system under the build and Chesbrough was observing this view. This quote shows so many different moments at a one time. My idea was how workers can lift the whole building with people in it and instand sewer in the building. On another side, I think it a good idea to do that so people do not waste time to come out and go in, but it could be dangers also. I like Chesbrough because he was a great person and he likes to think out of the box, comes up with advantageous ideas and distribute that great idea in the USA. As an engineering student, I also believe it a good idea to think out of the box. In this case, I am a person who also likes to think outside of the box and I also like to look forth in future, basically, this topic connects with

Buildings have lifespan, and eventually it comes to its end. A physical permanence of the building is paradoxical. ‘Everything ages: buildings and place weather. The process of deterioration of architecture is part of a natural evolution of elements, natural or artificial in the environment.’ (Hornstein, 2011, p.86)

The tower gets its name from Gustave Eiffel, the man who designed the monument, and also did the girder work for the Statue of Liberty now in New York harbor. Looking at its open frame, it comes as no surprise that Eiffel was a bridge engineer when he entered the competition along with 100 other people to design this lasting monument to French culture. In fact, it took just two years and 300 steel workers for it to reach its pre-television height of 984 feet. The construction work began in January 1887 and was finished on March 31 1889. In spite of this height, the Eiffel Tower has just four floors. All are served by specially designed elevators that, instead of running up a vertical track, move along a curve dictated by the
