There are 5 different soil types to consider throughout Qatar: ● Rawdha soils: these soils have a small amount of organic matter, low water retention properties and poor structural properties. Also, rawdha soils give rise to surface crusting which interferes with the plant-air-water relationship and

shelter movement. 1627- Francis Bacon experimented with filtration and desalination; and without his work, portable shelters would not be functional. 1601-1700- Steel was in industrial production by this time, and became one of the primary structural building materials in modern day architecture. 1700- The first commercial Pop-Up Shop was actually a kitchen in France, which started the mass trend around the world today. 1769- Without the invention of trucks, portable shelter transportation would not have

Even standing at a doorway can provide some involved feelings. Does the building seem to invite the viewer inside with elaborate carvings and an open view to the interior? Or

amazingly beautiful old historic and heritage-listed buildings. The Sirius building, for example, was designed and built between 1978 and 1979. The Rocks locality features Brutalist architecture, buildings which are now used as residential apartments. The historic architecture and history of The Rocks are not the only interesting things that make it appealing. Housing & Lifestyle Older terrace homes, 1960’s to 1980’s styled homes, historic buildings, and modern apartments are the primary residences

Somiani port of Sindh from Lakhpat for his onward journey to Mecca Medina in Saudi Arabia. <> The house in which Gurunanak had stayed has been converted to Gurudwara. The house has gone through heavy restoration work and now is one of well-maintained buildings of Lakhpat.

A UNESCO award for restoration work after the earth quake is credited to this Gurudwara, which is proudly

the building sector. In this paper we present the results of this multidisciplinary cooperation between designers, architects and engineers from Europe, USA, Japan and China. The project grew from this team, who led the “Reduce CO2 – With technology to zero emissions” workshop at the Holcim Forum in Mexico City. First, we address the Overall Problem of buildings and their current impact on the environment. Then we consider more in depth the Material Problem and the CO2 Problem of buildings. Next

nature (water and sunlight) and the movement of wave fabricated Time-Sensitive Space. In architecture, natural building materials continue to deteriorate and change every second by environment, as I observed the wave changing with sunlight and dynamic movement. The rate of deterioration is decided by the material characteristics, the regional environment and the division of building materials. Firstly, the rate of deterioration is mostly decided by the material characteristics, especially organic
