ARC 5205 Advanced Theory STUDENT NAME: Nathalie Restrepo BOOK TITLE: Digital Fabrications Architectural and Material Techniques by Lisa Iwamoto Theory Professor Neil Leach DATE: 10/06/16 PAGES READ: 34-59, 88-105 Digital technologies have become a key element in revitalizing architecture design, as Lisa Iwamoto clearly demonstrates in a wide array of project examples in her book Digital Fabrications Architectural and Material Techniques. Iwamoto, an Architect and Structural Engineer, delves into

Eden Project Biomes are an attraction located in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It features two large biomes that are multiple inter-linked geodesic dome structures, one in which has a Humid Tropical environment and the other having a Warm Mediterranean environment. The two biomes cover 2.2 hectares of land and encapsulate over 5,000 species of plants from two different climates. Conceived by Tim Smit, The Eden Project Biomes were completed April 2001 by the design team of Nicholas Grimshaw, Anthony

Many homeschool families choose to learn the lessons that are necessary without the use of text books or worksheets. Many use the lesson plan approach of homeschooling. A lesson plan usually takes one or more weeks to complete. It encompasses all, or most, or the subjects that a normal school day covers: math, science, history, language arts, writing, and art. Using lesson plans is often more enjoyable that doing straight reading and answering questions from a textbook. While it may seem very confusing

father decided to build a geodesic dome. Geodesic domes are founded on the principle that triangles are stronger than the typical square using “the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area” (Buckminster Fuller Institute). What this meant to my father is that he would have a place that look small, but was easily heated in the winter. Prior to building the dome my father had done some research to find out more about who created the first geodesic dome. It was while researching

the R.80, which was introduced and accepted at once. Following by the design of many others successful airships such as the R.100 and R.101., stated Alfred Pugsley and N. E. Rowe (1981). Moreover, this brilliant engineer was the first to implement geodesic design in engineering which was used in the development of the Wellesley and Wellington bombers. Above all, Barnes most well-known invention was the bouncing bomb used in the Operation Chastise that took place during the Second World War, in May

One can relate by using examples of comets. There are comets that approach earth but then drifts away from earth’s atmosphere. “However, on must realize that geodesics are paths of freely falling objects only”(Biswas 1) Thus the only object that has a chance to escape a black hole is one that has engine powered turbines, such as a space ship. An unpowered space ship that enters a black hole will surely fall into

When it comes to Euclidean Geometry, Spherical Geometry and Hyperbolic Geometry there are many similarities and differences among them. For example, what may be true for Euclidean Geometry may not be true for Spherical or Hyperbolic Geometry. Many instances exist where something is true for one or two geometries but not the other geometry. However, sometimes a property is true for all three geometries. These points bring us to the purpose of this paper. This paper is an opportunity for me to demonstrate

Henderson and Taimina, we formulated a summary of the properties of geodesics on the plane, spheres, and hyperbolic planes. I feel this is a good homework assignment to mention in this paper. For the first part of the problem we were to explain why for every geodesic on the plane, sphere, and hyperbolic plane there is a reflection of the whole space through the geodesic. For the second part of the problem I showed that every geodesic on the plane, sphere, and hyperbolic plane can be extended indefinitely

improvements – you might consider the use of a geodome for sports events. Such events are always moneymakers, and renting a geodesic dome gives you the option of utilizing the land for other purposes if you wish. Whether the events held on your land are for adult or student games, the profits from such endeavors will typically make your investment a wise one. Sports Events in a Geodesic Dome Athletic events aren’t always held at traditional arenas. Those venues may cost far more money than an amateur

Albert Einstein’s vs. Newton: General Theory of Relativity Albert Einstein, most famously known as a physicist, was a contributor to the scientific world with his many known researches and humanitarian work. As a Nobel Prize Winner in 1921, his chronicled and more important works include Special Theory of Relativity (1905), Relativity (English Translation, 1920 and 1950), General Theory of Relativity (1916), Investigations on Theory of Brownian Movement (1926), and The Evolution
