Biomimetic architecture
An innovation is a new idea, more effective device or a more efficient process. In the field of architecture this term is often used for new technologies, software, designs, materials etc. In this essay there will be elaborated about a new way off designing using the qualities and characteristics of nature, this method is called biomimetic architecture. This method is part of the larger movement: biomimicry, the examination of nature, gaining inspiration in order the solve sustainable problems for human problems. The goal is to create products and processes that are well adapted to life on earth over the long haul.
The sustainable problems, considering climate changes and depletion of fossil fuels, for the next generations are enormous. The building sector represents 40% of the energy consumption of humanity. If we are able to reduce the building materials and increase the efficiency of the building process. The energy consumption can be reduced enormously. Biometric architecture can provide lots of solutions for this questions. Seeking for sustainable solutions in

Biomimicry on the organism scale mimics a certain organism without considering how to organism adapts in her surroundings. This is certainly not sufficient for the design of a building, a building always adapts to her surroundings in a certain way. At the level of behavior the building mimics how an organism acts in the larger context. This already comes closer to the requirements of a building. On the level of ecosystem a building mimics the natural process and cycle of the greater environment. Ecosystems are dependent of sunlight, component, local conditions suitable for live etc. When designing a building it is necessary to implant these three scale levels in the design. In this way it is possible to create a building that is well adapted to life on earth over the long
Synthesis Essay A monument is a statue, building, or other structure built in order to honor a famous person or event. Monuments come in all different forms, they are important in which they help remind individuals about significant times in history. Society has different views on what should be considered when a group/agency is creating a memorial. For something to justify the creation of a monument, something important must take place in history.
Quality assurance from raw materials to construction techniques. Construction analysis for the best possible approach, especially in dealing with the challenges of building something great from scratch. Compliance of the building code ensure a structure is capable of performing as intended and built according to standards. It also ensure future inspection process will not be a cause for concern.
Albert Speer contributed to his period of time through numerous different ways, these includes; his contribution to the second world war as armaments minister, contribution to the consolidation of Nazi and their power in Germany, architectural designs during the period as the architect of the Reich and significantly, being opposed to the ‘scorched earth’ policy, that was implemented by Hitler. Through these events, it is evident that Speer was not just an architect or technocrat however, a criminal of war who ‘got away with murder’. Speer was not only known as a great architecture but also, an effective organiser due to his management skills. Through Speer, the architectural work for the Nazi propaganda was changed potentially forever. This
Planning and designing are the figurative part of the construction process. Taking thoughts and ideas and drawing them out on paper in order to maximize the beauty that nature intended are all the first part of the process. Understanding what plants and flowers would naturally grow in a specific habitat, that they would not only flourish but also add a certain degree of beauty is very important.

New designs have been adopted since the onset of architecture, and thus, with the concentration of a history of architecture, new phenomenon and innovations are realized that would help in further explanation and address of other necessities in the same sector. A concentration in the History of architecture and landscape architecture as a course incorporates more than one element of
“Biophilic design is the deliberate attempt to translate an understanding of biophilia into the design of the built environment” (Kellert, 2008). It involves building and landscape design that enhance human well-being by fostering positive connections between people and natural environment. It is an innovative design approach that aims to maintain, enhance and restore the benefits of experiencing nature in the built environment. It starts by observing the effect of the mutual interaction between the natural and the built environment. The learned knowledge is then reflected onto the design and construction of the built environment.
The authentication of Biometrics (i.e. the real authentication) which is used for identification and controlling the access which can be applied in the computer science. It is can be used in groups to identify the individuals under the surveillance. Biometric identifiers are used to labels the characteristics which can be measurable, the distinctive, and to describe the individuals. Biometric identifiers are being often categorized as behavioral versus physiological characteristics. Physiological are related to define the characteristics and the structure of the body.
Gottfried Semper was a major figure in the field of Interior designing. He was an architect and an art critic who contributed majorly to the study of interiors .He proposed his ideas and thoughts in his book, “Four elements of architecture”, in the year 1952 and it was a huge success. In his book, he developed the theory that origin of architecture could be dated back to the primitive era when human civilization was at its peak. As compared to the modern ideology that architecture consists of structures made from materials, his theory revolved around the four main elements of the primitive era that were essential to human life.
One of the most common drawbacks of the energy efficient construction is the high cost of enforcing. Although the additional costs are required to build and plan such buildings, they are balanced out by saving on energy expenditure; while, it is still extra money provided to build; thus, additional cost is valid criticism. In addition to this, building materials are not always available. The most noticeable negative feature of energy efficient construction is the environmental concern. Although it is environmentally friendly which produces less carbon emissions, it has slight unfavorable effects on the human health.
Tectonics is defined as the science or art of construction, both in relation to use and artistic design. It refers not just to the activity of making the materially requisite construction that answers certain needs but rather to the activity that raises this construction as an art form. It is concerned with the modeling of material to bring the material into presence - from the physical into the meta-physical world (Maulden, 1986). Since tectonics is primarily concerned with the making of architecture in a modern world, its value is seen as being a partial strategy for an architecture rooted in time and place therefore beginning to bring poetry in construction. Tectonics, however, has the capacity to create depth-ness of context resulting in the implicit story being told by the tectonic expression.
Fix or replace damaged tissue; biology has always been the main concern for scientists. Today, the most important instrument for tissue engineering scientists to produce replacement tissues and implants to repair or replace damaged tissue. Tissue engineering is generating a new field of study in which the principles of engineering and biology to correct the damaged tissue, uses and can renewal, operation and maintenance of tissue healing. In order to use an ideal scaffold Tissue engineering should have features such as non-toxic Cell and tissue properties to be fit.
THE FUNCTION OF ENGINEERS IN PROTECTING THE SOCIETY 1. MEANING OF ENGINEERING We often use the words “science and technology” for engineering. what can be done by engineers with science and technology? Researchers think about it and do some research which resulted in the understanding that engineering is about planning and designing something that helps society by regulating science and technology.
Eco friendly building material is those provide the appropriate service and lifetime, with the minimal maintenance, while minimizing the decimation the raw of material, the pollution from, and also energy consumption by production and use, and that have the maximum potential for the reuse. The use of the Eco friendly building materials and products are represents one important strategy in the design of a building. In addition, the Eco friendly building materials have benefits to the building users such as improved health and the productivity, in order to change the spatial configurations of the lower costs associated, reduced maintenance costs over the life of the building and so forth.
'We want to create the purely organic building, boldly emanating its inner laws, free of untruths or ornamentation. ' Walter Gropius Modernism design came in many forms from door handles to influential architectural feats. The Machine age made artists think differently and influence design today. In the following essay, I will analysis the work of Walter Gropius, an early modern German architect and how his designs had an impact on an improving society and his moral ideas. I will also discuss whether Modernist ideas and principles may still be relevant to contemporary design through the work of Gropius.
