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

the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. A significant part of the watershed is covered with impervious surface, which prevents the natural process of infiltration and causes a greatly increased surface water runoff. Also, urbanization has replaced most of the watershed 's natural stream channels with an elaborate network of storm sewers. These sewers carry the increased volume of surface runoff quicker than it would in natural channels causing

In Africa, body modification is a sign of prosperity, wealth, power, and is a method of showing a person’s life story. The art form has existed for centuries and holds massive amounts of cultural significance for African tribes. The village of Umuofia in Chinua Achebe’s novel Things Fall Apart is no exception. The Igbo utilize tattooing as a manner of reflecting the character and life experiences of a person in a form visible to the people around them. In the novel, Okonkwo was the epitome of manliness

From the surface morphology, it was estimated that the unique hierarchical ZnSnO2@G nanocomposite offers a high surface area which makes it a potential candidate for the SC’s application. The N2 adsorption–desorption curves of the composites are presented in Figure 5(a). Clearly, the presence of a hysteresis loop within relative pressure (P/P0 =1) confirms the capillary condensation of N2 gas within the as-prepared nanocomposite, thus demonstrating the porous characteristic of the electrode material

southeastern part of Arlington County. The area is partially protected by a short levee on the left bank near its confluence with Four Mile Run. Streams Tech personnel conducted a limited detailed study to develop a HEC-RAS model, establish water surface elevations, delineate floodplain boundaries and assist the Arlington County in evaluating floodplain management scenarios. GIS data were obtained from Arlington County to support a limited detailed study of the stream. Since no surveyed cross-section

Chapter 9 on biodiversity and the ecosystem was interesting, especially the section on forests. Living in a forest area and being surrounded by them my entire life it was really interesting to learn so much more about forests. Even when humans think they are being responsible, they can still cause great harm. The building of roads to farm trees for instance, can cause damage to a forest because it increases erosion, water runoff, and it can harm the diversity of an ecosystem (Miller & Spoolman, 2010)

Sustainable Drainage for highways infrastructure Introduction Construction of no porous highway surfaces and pavements areas have high possibility of modifying the hydrological cycle with larger volumes of runoff being conveyed over short periods of time at increased flow rates to nearby water courses. Highway drainage has been designed to rapidly remove surface runoff from the carriageway and discharge directly and positively into nearest watercourses. It is now recognised that runoff from highways

consultants of Somersworth, New Hampshire (2010) a new Master Plan has been revised for a vision into 2020 due to significant investment in both the private and public sector. Somersworth is currently undergoing significant change since 2000 and these modifications to the city allow for several social and economic opportunities in the area. Development and redevelopment that has occurred since 2000 has been the relocation of both City Hall and the Police Department, the renovation of an old mill building

continued growth. It is interesting to observe the way in which this urbanized land reacts to human interference. One of the more interesting aspects of urbanization is the use and management of water. With the continued expansion of cities, and the modification of the land in which these concrete jungles cover, changes to land are inevitable. In his book “Urban Storm Water Management,” Hormoz Pazwash briefly summarizes some of the impacts urbanization has to land, and water quality stating. “Urban development
