Building Information Modeling

Apart from relating the underground buildings with technology, underground space could be designed into an interesting space to be appreciated. (People’s perception on underground space – relating to the real world, imaginative world is mentioned.) Underground space in the imaginative world…

It is vital to understand the difference between cohesive and non-cohesive subsoils as described in the assignment scenario. Non-Cohesive Non-cohesive subsoils are sandy in nature and they present less of a problem for building on. They are composed mainly of sand and gravel, and they are closely compacted together which means that they are not affected by water. Therefore, their load bearing capacity does not change with the various seasons, summer or winter, drought or flood, it makes no…

how 3D modeling has changed the presentation world of architecture designs. It's like pulling out the multi-dimensional images from your brain and painting them on a paper to see how it looks. The impact 3D modeling has, on presenting architectural services is the most transforming thing to have happened. Architecture and construction businesses started using 3D models on job sites and presentations of projects. 3D modeling is done by computers and machines through a long process. 3D modeling…

environment features over the time which the building itself and the occupants should be overcome those to provide sustainability in building and comfortless to the occupants. Natural environment constraints  warm and humid climate  High winds  Different high levels of sounds (mount lavinia hotel located near the coast and near a railway. Therefore it should mitigate the sounds from sea waves and trains from entering inside) Building environment constraints Mount lavania hotel…

Abstract: The risks and uncertainties involved in construction industry are far more than in any other industries. It is due to its vastness and the complexity of activities and processes. It is known but is always sidelined. Due to this the construction projects are failing to meet the time schedule, budget and quality of work. There is a requirement for a good risk assessment and management system in construction industry. The purpose of this paper is to critically analyse the journal titled…

Architecture is a thing and an intellectual activity by which we can judge and acknowledge architecture by the presence of these both. Ranging from all types of material culture, architecture is the most expressive and experiencing medium. As a medium, architecture has a language also through which we can identify the culture and society of a particular era. Architecture also discloses the desires, power struggles and material culture of a society along with the aesthetic and formal presence of…

when critiquing a building our thoughts are based on the buildings form as a whole, one defined object or boundary made up of different components which creates the overall look, structure and how it fits into the contextual surroundings. In the text “Why Architecture Matters” Paul Goldberger, shows that not only the outer boundary or façade is important but that there is another dimension which is often open to wider interpretation and often disregarded when thinking about a building. This…

Washington DC: 11th Street [The Need] Bridges are no different than any other form of infrastructure, eventually they break down and need to be either repaired or replaced. Inspection occurs at least every two years, yet bridges are often pushed to their absolute limits of usability. In Washington DC, the 11th Street Bridge Project aims to replace two bridges built in the 1960s with three new bridges. With these bridges having been in place for nearly 50 years, there were numerous issues. For…

make this haunted house the creepiest ever. Instead of ignoring the event, I decided to gather some people from both classes and start to plan about the haunted house. First of all, we needed to find a place for it. Because we had moved to the new buildings, there were limited places for us to use for the haunted house. At first, we thought about the place that the last year seniors had used, but Amanda, one of the representatives from the other class, said that we got more students this year,…
