campaign to convince architects, builders, engineers to design multi- story office blocks using steel rather than concrete for the structural frame of buildings. Product diversification involves addition of new products to existing products either being manufactured or being marketed. Expansion of the existing product line with related products is one such method adopted by many businesses. Adding tooth brushes to tooth paste or tooth powders or mouthwash under the same brand or under different brands

2.1 Introduction: “What is a change order? A change order is a written agreement between the owner and the general contractor to change a building or other construction contract. Change orders add to, delete from, or otherwise alter the work set forth in the contract documents at the time that the construction contract was made. As the legal means for changing contracts, change orders are standard in the construction industry. A change can occur at any stage of a construction project. According
economy, and above all technology.39 However, the architectural expression of the essence of this 'Technological Age' was not equivalent to the literal, direct display of the building's skeleton as in a work of engineering.40 Even if intended by the architect, this direct exposure was often hampered by the other various factors that influenced the architectural design, such as the fireproof regulations, as notably exemplified by Mies's buildings in Chicago. Moreover, an essential expression entailed the
Bielfeld (p.13) Based on Nova Scotia Association of Architects (2014), Architecture is the art, science, and business of building; and in line with this are we, the Architects, who are described by the word versatile. We create and build designs for a certain structure such as a residential home, office, skyscrapers, schools, malls, parks, churches, etc. Everything starts with a commission-or contract- from a client who demands something an architect must give. Steven Hall (2013) described Architecture

Most of the structural design of buildings worldwide follows the codes of practice which are produced either through the experts in the country or through adoption of design codes from other countries. These codes of practice are document which drawn up by experienced engineers and a team of professionals as baseline or guideline for engineer in the general appraisal of the overall structural scheme, detailed analysis and design including the framework for addressing issues of safety and serviceability
the true architect of Confederation takes analysis, time, and effort; one cannot judge the book of Confederation just by glancing at its cover, instead one must delve into the topic in order to fully realize what is going on and uncover the truth. In reality, the legitimate leader and architect of Confederation is George-Étienne Cartier, while the commonly known characters of John A. MacDonald and George Brown are simply figureheads and puppets, easily manipulated into the role of architect. Cartier
One day I hope to design and create exquisite living and public spaces all over the world. As an Architect I have the ability to do so but there’s a path to get to that point. It would take a lot of my studies, opportunity and the ability to build myself into an efficient person to achieve the goal I desire. I gained so much knowledge, that it would be compared to the size of a bible. In reality my education in the past, current, and future is the bible in itself, it is a guide to proceed to the
exploration is needed to further demonstrate how this can be done. Armed with the understanding that the definition of food encompasses individual ingredients, its preparation, and consumption, this section considers the transformative methodology of architect Sarah Wigglesworth and Jeremy Till as a point of departure. This chapter is divided into three sections beginning with an analysis of Wigglesworth and Till’s approach in Section 3.1, followed by Section 3.2, which demonstrates how this attitude
Bob the Builder asked, “Can we can build it?” The answer was always a loud, “YES WE CAN!” This quote relates to what I am writing about. Bob the Builder was a construction laborer. The career I will like to follow is being a construction laborer. Being a construction worker can be a hard laboring job with many disadvantages, but it comes with good benefits and salary. Being in this job, career can be tough. Here are some of descriptions of being a construction laborer. They might need to advance

This year I was given a chance and was elected class representative. This role gave me the chance to speak out for my peers

Because he didn’t study architecture, he felt that he didn’t fit with the other architects. He admitted that he felt like a stranger among them, so he tended to work alone sometimes. Barragan was born in March 9, 1902 in Guadalajara (Jalisco), Mexico. His work influenced contemporary architects through visual and conceptual aspects. He was known for evocative houses, gardens, plazas

My aim is also to gain membership of the Royal Town Planning Institute in the future and relevant RIBA qualifications. I have a general interest all aspects of planning, construction and design from dealing with urban decay to securing new infrastructure. I am currently studying Art, 3-D design and Maths all of which I enjoy and I feel they are all relevant
modern avant-garde architecture, Frampton constituted a theoretical background representing critical regionalism. In addition to that critical regionalism adopts the principle of the tectonic reality and place in architecture. In other words, the architect should create the tectonic reality by using the physical dimensions of the site consisting of topography, climate; the sensual features consisting of light, heat, weather movements as well as the visual features and even the materials that are taken
to build the form using materials like glass and steel to create the void effect. Thereby, the perceptual void in the form is actually created depending on the effect of transparency created by the material. (Rowe and Slutzky, 1963) Unlike other architects who sought to solidify the void, Koolhaas seeks to capture its energy by conceptualizing the void as a latent force contained between layers of solid floors. (Koolhaas, 1995a) The Jussieu Libraries at Jussieu Campus is one of the greatest buildings
My preferences are INTJ. Some call it, the architect. Others call it, the mastermind. Either one sound pretty cool if I am being honest. Systems and decisions that are not just good in the moment but that potentially change how things are done forever are right up my ally. An idealist? Yes. But, not blindly or based off of emotion. Instead vision is thought through, rationalized and then acted on. I’m not the best socially but I consider myself to have some EI and continue to strive to enact what
