The beauty of cities largely depends on the contribution of architects. The designs in Victoria and elsewhere in the world are products of the architects. Definitely, not all architectural designs in the cities we visit appeal to us. When the architects were designing the same, a number of factors presided over the choices that they would make. The architectural designs in Victoria are unique and they tend to attract various questions. This paper therefore seeks to address some of the factors that greatly influenced some of the designs in Victoria. For example what factors influenced the architects to develop such ...

Conflict resolution and ethic Intervention Communication is a central part in the conflict and ethnic intervention. Conflict can be termed as a misunderstanding between two or more parties. In addition to that, conflict can further be grouped to gender conflict, social conflict, economic conflict or political conflict.

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Abstract Most buildings once completed take at least one year to settle and require repairs and maintenance. However, many older multiple dwelling buildings have suffered unforeseen issues. The most common problem is water ingress through the building envelope. The reason why residential buildings are critical and require closer and immediate attention is because these buildings belong to people who have invested their life savings into them for comfort and spend most of their time in those places. Commercial and industrial buildings do not require as much attention and their environmental separation requirements vary because they are only occupied ...

Question1

For this particular scenario, I would use several layers of security because this compound is comprised of various components or buildings each having different significance or importance. Using different security for each layer would ensure that even if intruders are able to breach through one layer, they will be incapable of breaching the other layers using the same techniques that they might have used for the previous one (Bernard, 2007). I would, therefore, invite the best security experts to ensure the particular component of security that has been used one layer is not used on the other. The corporate ...

Built as tombs for the Egyptian Pharaohs and their Queens, the three largest examples of pyramids in Egypt are situated at Giza on the west bank of the River Nile. Of those three, the largest of all, known as the “Great Pyramid” was built for the pharaoh Khufu and is the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that is still in existence. According to “The Egyptian Pyramid” – an article on the Smithsonian website – that pyramid's base covered an area in excess of 13 acres and the triangular side faces were at an angle ...

Introduction

Vernacular coding for buildings offers a viable architecture that can fit varied conditions based on its nature, reflected as being open ended in nature. For this reason, vernacular coding is applicable in both natural and manmade conditions (Lane, 45). For adequate classification of buildings using the vernacular method, it is necessary to have an adequate understanding of the geographical area. For this purpose, the climate of Riyadh will be put into context to facilitate designing of buildings with the technique. The mentioned City is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

1.0 Introduction

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took ...

Shoring

A shoring system is necessary so as to ensure safety for the workers. The basement construction process will involve excavation near the neighboring building. The neighboring building is delicate because it was constructed long before the Australian standards of footing were set up. If shoring is not done, the workers will be at danger of a collapsing building. Shoring will help to offer support to the building so that it does not collapse in the process of constructing the basement. Shoring will also help in speeding up the excavation process. Secant pile walls and sheet piling systems are two good ...

Robert colescott

His works are satirical and vibrant and address the issues on the history and racial stereotypes keenly with much humor. His works represented the classical art from the western culture, but the phenomenal figures are portrayed to be black. This aspect of his works represents the multiplicity of the African-American experience. (Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design, 2014)

Introduction

The term ventilation is constantly used by fire fighters and the fire marshals department. In simple terms, ventilation is the process through which toxic gases, smoke and heat is removed from a burning building and consequently replaced with cleaner, cooler and air rich in oxygen. This is part of the rehabilitation process of a burning building. The process has two distinct components. The first component involves the removal of hot air, smoke and toxic gases. The second component of the ventilation process is pumping in cleaner, cooler and air rich in oxygen. While performing this process, it is important to exercise ...

Being attracted to huge structures, I always found myself dwelling deeper into their existence, rather than just marveling at their beauty. Whenever I look at a historical building or a modern skyscraper, I find myself thinking about how it must have been built. I imagine ...

The basic aim behind depreciation is that it simply spreads the value of asset over its useful life hence expensing out its value in proportion to the period it has been used. In this way, the asset is fully expensed out once it reaches the end of its life and is useless or scraps. Hence, the book value of an asset at any time is its cost less the accumulated depreciation from date to the date of purchase. Therefore, the depreciated vale may or may not be equivalent to the market value of the asset at any time. This ...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) represents “A firm’s sense of responsibility towards the community and environment, (both ecological and social) in which it operates and draws resources and sustenance from. Firms express this citizenship through their waste and pollution reduction processes, by contributing to the educational and social programs and by earning adequate returns on the employed resources” (Business Dictionary).

This definition identifies the companies’ role in sustaining CSR initiatives and their contributions to the welfare of the community. Frederick, Davis and Post define the companies’ sense of responsibility and their interventions in the society’s ...

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

Types of Windstorms

Introduction

Since its emergence in the 1950s, the field of community development has emphasized resident participation in decision-making and leadership. From a normative perspective, resident participation is an end in itself. From an instrumental standpoint, the knowledge, skills, and energy that resident participants bring to initiatives are seen as invaluable to the achievement of meaningful outcomes. Most rural communities in the United States do not have the chance to enjoy most of the recreational as well as employment opportunities that their counterparts (urban dwellers) enjoy. One of the factors that have led to this disparity is the lack of such facilities ...

This study provides a critical analysis on the changing notion of comfort standards in building systems through a critique of Cole, Robinson, Brown and O’Shea’s (2008) “Re-Contextualizing the Notion of Comfort”. Diverse climate conditions across several locations around the world highly characterize standards of comfort met through the construction of residential and commercial buildings, thus the understanding that people derive comfort based on the normal weather conditions in their respective locales. Various standards for buildings –where people use spaces for habitation or work, ensure comfortable living in accordance to distinct climate conditions. Climate change, in this case, ...
