Ningbo’s newly completed Central Business District (CBD) belies its status as one of China’s oldest cities. The austere downtown landscape is the equivalent of architecture’s white-washed wall: a place of erasure, forgetting, and dubious progress. With the completion of Wang Shu’s Ningbo Museum in 2008, however, the Ningbo of the present is confronted by the forgotten landscape of its not too distant past. A craggy mountain of a building inspired by the region’s natural topographical features as well its unique crafts and architectural traditions, the Ningbo Museum is not simply an obligatory nod to ...

Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss and describe the application of mathematics in architecture. Starting from the explanation of the meaning of architecture, we will consider the relationship between architecture and mathematics since ancient times. One of the most significant contribution of mathematics in architecture is strengthening the building constructions. This property can be traced in many ancient structures (for example, the Parthenon, the Colosseum, Stonehenge). The evolution of the types of construction design was tightly related to mathematics. In our research, we will discuss various designs, such as pyramidal, post-and-lintel and carcass construction systems. Special attention will be ...

The intensive growth and more new scientific and technological developments give builders practically unlimited possibilities. But to the fore, the problem of choice comes – how to rationally determine the most appropriate technology? Particularly heated is the debate between supporters and defenders of monolithic construction of prefabricated concrete (bibm.eu, 2016). The main difference of the prefabricated concrete construction from the monolith is manufacturing of building structures in the factory with careful laboratory monitoring of the whole process (concretenetwork.com, 2016). Impact of human factors on the quality of the product is reduced to an absolute minimum, and perhaps it can be ...

The happy times as well as the dire times are combined and shared inside the walls of the kingdom in Beowulf, mutually as one community. All through ‘Odyssey’, the perpetual gods rule the world with the ethical standard of caring the home as well as community. Anybody who deliberately ...
