workings of a building, garment, or other objects before it is built or made. It is twenty seventeen and we have already begun to see the future. In the past, design was beautiful, but simplistic. Now, everthing is changing expediently. I speculate that with a touch of your cell phone a house will be produced within seconds. Which I believe might cause design to become more of a competitive field, filled with innovators from the future, gives a new meaning to a whole new world. How will building and car

modeler, artist, linguist, priest, rationalist, renaissance humanist polymath in the early 1400′s. He is celebrated for composing "De picture" a treastise on point of view drawings, "De Statua" a article on figure lastly "De Re Aedificatoria" (Art of building) created on works of renowned Roman architect Vitruvius' Ten Books on Architecture. However inquiries emerge in perusing Alberti: since ornamentation as a methodology is done on the whole work, and decoration as a result of the procedure is

between 2014 and 2016 due to falling levels of investment on project activities. The economic deficits incurred in the construction industry would be offset by investments in the telecommunication and commercial construction, especially in apartment building. There however are challenges in the industry occasioned by uncertainty on future spending on construction projects by the government. Moreover, the cost of doing business and the ability to increasingly make revenue have created a challenging environment

continuous, habitable building with many floors usually more than 60 that can be used for residential, commercial or office use. Although, there is no proper definition of skyscrapers in dictionary or civil engineering term but they are often regarded as tall and heavy buildings. Speaking in terms of non technical language, a skyscraper is a tall building with various purposes, restaurant, market, offices, sometimes observatory for having a panoramic view of the city. A building can be called as skyscraper

energy consumption occurs in the construction industry (Shao, 2014). One means of reducing energy consumption in this sector is to increase the thermal efficiency of buildings. The building envelope has been developed to isolate the indoor environment from the outdoor environment, in order to raise the energy efficiency of a building, and to create a healthier indoor environment (Ge et al., 2013; Al-Sane and Zedan, 2012). Civil engineers must select appropriate materials, namely insulation materials

goes for commercial buildings. People need to buy more “stuff” to fill our big houses with. We as humans are always trying to make our lives bigger and better. Being a construction worker for a few years helps a person understand that the job is very selfless. All the time is spent building for others. Always trying to capture the perfect image of the product to satisfy the customer. This applies to all facets of construction from Heavy building construction of large buildings all the way to the small

Subarna Sivashanmugam Master of Science in construction project Management with BIM University of Northumbria, Newcastle ABSTRACT: Building Information Modelling, an introduced effective tool in AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) Industry worldwide, is a digital representation of physical and functional characteristics generating dramatically higher quality information and communication process augmenting predictability and profitability (Ray Crotty, 2012). BIM has been adopted

dividers and the top of a structure as per the arrangement of construction archives and local building codes. Since the 1830s, two strategies for wood framing have been utilized to encourage building a structure: balloon framing and platform framing. Balloon framing was genuinely well known on the east drift and parts of the Midwest previously. Today it isn't for the most part permitted by current building codes. Be that as it may, it regards know about the technique if it is experienced in the field

generations. It is hard to find a balance between sustainability and our economy. Economic growth however, also depends on a sustaining and functional environment. LEED is an organization that does not successfully evaluate the sustainability of a building. Instead some other organizations does better at evaluating in detail and continuously of how it is sustainable and how it has continued to be more eco-friendly. Politics is connected to natural resources, the issue of global warming, and sustainability
