Residential architectural projects often address affordable housing in ways closely associated with cost as it pertains to design and construction. General affordable design, when applied to housing, often results in inferior, ill-equipped, and aesthetically unappealing projects. Without design standards, the consequences of low-cost designs are often unpleasant and severe. People commonly misunderstand that aesthetic value often suffers when less money is put into the design and the architectural project is “designed with an eye on quantity, not quality” (Casselman, 2007, para #3). The terms listed above support this misconception, as they are all associated with material qualities and conditions that rely on economic …show more content…

Randy Gragg wrote “A High-Security, Low-Risk Investment: Private Prisons Make Crime Pay” Gragg is the architecture and urban design critic for the Oregonian, Portland’s daily newspaper. Gragg has written on wars, visual art, film and performance. Randy has shifted his journalistic focus to writing on the built environment. Beyond reviewing completed projects, he has worked to build a larger constituency for better design by frequently writing about buildings and planning efforts in their generative phases when citizens and officials can still affect them through the public review process. Since moving to the Northwest from Nevada, Randy has pursued numerous writing and curatorial projects in art and design.
This is evidenced strongly allover the article. I strongly believe that Ms. Lowrey has denied the existence of colleges with their own professors and administration. Ms Lowrey sketches a perfect comparing example for readers by mentioning “the car labels” introduced by the Department of Transportation. “Consumer-friendly” term for
For the growth of any college to be possible, changes had to be made continuously. For changes to be made, there has to be a person or people with an innovative idea. In order to fulfill the vision of creating a college, there has to be sufficient funds and a team of support to undertake the task. Kennesaw State University and its College of Science has reflected tremendous growth in the past five decades and is continuing on the same path. The history and the organizational development of a college displays a contrast between what the college started with and the outcomes of all the efforts that built on the foundation of the institution.
Reich supports this claim that not everyone can succeed in a four-year liberal arts college by bringing up three key problems: financial instability, lack of employment, and eventual obsolete education due to four-year liberal arts degrees.. Reich believes the main cause these issues are experienced by students are because of lack of awareness of gateways and the fact that very few gateways are opened to students. Reich argues that another gateway for success that won’t cause financial instability is to pursue technician jobs. In order to achieve mastery over technical knowledge only two years of study at a community college is required which can lead to a preference for students versus a four-year liberal arts college because of extremely low cost and time. Reich also believes that since technology is constantly changing specific knowledge from a four-year liberal arts college may become obsolete.
The strict regulations of building codes concerning vibrations of the earth and San Francisco’s residents’ love of cars prevented loft conversions on a large scale. Around 1993, the new loft projects that were supposed to create affordable housing increased real estate figures dramatically to levels that were unreasonably high; this happened in the Soma area of San Francisco. There were also the beginnings of live-work occupancy lofts in individual zones designated by the Planning Department in 1989 at the south of Market Street. The key stipulation was that “work” be restricted to “arts activities.” Change began primarily with the zoning requirements in SoMA that permitted large-scale developments and prevented community-oriented designs.

The 60’s in the United States, the peak in popularity of postmodernism in architecture and philosophy, are also the years that mark the construction of millions of residential houses across the United States. But as the famous American architects such as Venturi, Graves and Neutra explore the modernist ideas of simplicity and functionality while building skyscrapers and residential complexes for wealthy clients, one architect decides to experiment on his own with the concept of a modern house, and builds one for himself trying to test some of his original ideas. The Moore House built in 1962 by Charles Moore in the outskirts of sunny Orinda, California, peacefully sits on the slope of a sunlit valley surrounded by an oak forest that gives the
The land grant universities in the United States have a rich history of public service, practical research, teaching and outreaching for ordinary citizens. The success in this system over decades working hard to meet the communities’ needs in the United States and the world at large did not help to avoid some challenges. The land grant universities are facing many challenges and these challenges will continue within the next five to twenty five years, such as the climate changing and its impact on agricultural productivity, the engagement with the community, and the increase of professors and undergraduate students’ ages in the land grant universities. One of the most important challenges that faced land grant universities is that the global
Midterm Paper A. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth History shows that the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex symbolizes how architects, politicians and policymakers have failed to their job. Relatively, if one tries to search of “Puritt-Igoe” online, the images shown reveal is legacy: an imploded building; broken windows; and vandalized hallways. The Myth Pruitt-Igoe Myth is centered on the impact of the 1949 Housing Act, because this legislated did not only build Pruitt-Igoe but it also built other high-rise public housing decades after the Second World War.

Professionally there here has been a consistent identification of differences in the beliefs and values between the architect and client concerning the built environment (Bali, 2009). Such differences in views between the architect and client are critical consideration in the management of relationships since it can ultimately results in gaps between expectations and
