Architectural plan

architect is responsible for producing the first set of drawings. They need to produce floor plans sections and elevations which other consultants need to work from and are needed for construction to…

What sells architecture? Landscape, writes David Heymann in his 2011 article “Landscape is Our Sex”. Heymann presents an interesting stance on the role of landscape in modern architecture, however, despite the conviction of Heymann’s beliefs, this article presents insufficient evidence to support many of his claims. “Landscape is Our Sex” discusses the trend in modern architecture to describe designs as a response to the site; correlating the built form with the landscape as a strategy to…

The sections we read were part of a larger study by Toby Huitson into the uses and purposes of the upper spaces in Gothic Cathedrals. Throughout the text, he looks at many possible uses for different spaces based on surviving texts and architectural cues. Huitson looks at why we don’t know their specific uses at the time of construction along with what they were used for later on as a possible window into the original intention of the spaces. In his research, Huitson looks at old writings…

Although the Cathedral of St. Raphael didn’t need to use these doric columns and barrel vaults as main support system for the architectural integrity, they use elegant cylinder shaped support pillars as design and minor support for the overall structure. Any building that has the Byzantium architectural era identity, it would certainly include artifacts, icons, elegant decorated manuscripts, displays, interior designing, and images that portray beauty, richness…

The buildings in the Elizabethan Era, were the biggest and most awkward looking things ever. The buildings were built out of wood, were decorated nicely, and were mostly built on hills in a village format. One question people tend to ask very often is, “What were these buildings made out of?” Most of these buildings were Half Timbered. Made up of mostly wood with extremely large windows. The timbers that the architects used were usually very tall and widely spaced out. People's houses…

Malfunctional is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of North Sioux City Downtown. The functions of a downtown are to be sociable, comfortable, and useful. North Sioux City has none of those aspects relating to their downtown. There are very few purposes to go downtown in North Sioux City, because the diversity of residents and businesses is low. The businesses there are either casinos, restaurants, or liquor store there are no shops, cafes, or other businesses besides one bank. All…

where we are going. Those two periods make up the rest of our lives, although there is no finite time for one to end and the other to begin. There is often little talk of what we are going to do to get there, wherever “there” might be. So people make plans. They begin to think about how they want their life to look like, then they form goals. Goals represent the finish line. You can talk about being there as much as you want but, if you do not take the necessary steps, you will be at a stand…

Is Success A Goal or a Wish? I came across a quote, recently, and it stated, “A goal without a plan is a wish.” As we approach the close of 2015, it was a reminder to ask myself questions about the goals I set back in 2014. Did I take steps towards those goals in 2015? Did the goals really have a plan to support them? Did I get the results I was looking for? If not, they were likely a wish and not a goal. In business or even personally, the difference between a wish and a goal is that…

This plan relies very heavily on the use of technology, without which I believe I could still make this plan work, although it would look very different and potentially not be as fluid. Through the use of Schoology.com, I am able to provide students with all of the information and materials from class digitally…

only creates the plan and lets his/her followers carry it out. A good leader is one who guides his/her followers. One way a good leader guides his/her followers is by being a responsible person.Having a responsible leader can have a domino effect causing his/her followers to also be responsible. An example of this is when Jack, who was an organized, accountable,…
