concert was at the Oriental Theater in Denver, Colorado. While the theater is old, it still attracts families, friends and couples. The theater reopened after a facelift from new ownership 6 years ago, but the history still shines throughout the building. The new owners revitalized the architecture and exterior decorations to display the facelift perfectly, however they kept…

the structure of the roofing that was usually covered with tile. In domestic architecture, dwellings, shops, and other buildings, construction was much simpler. The use of the different elements of architecture in these ancient civilizations has improved greatly over time. Some tactics were more difficult than others. Architecture is the art of designing and creating buildings. Greek architecture is a very specific and influential type of design, which was based off of the post-and-lintel…

Civil Engineering and Architecture: Similarities and Differences It is sometimes easy to confuse the two fields of civil engineering and architecture. Civil engineering and architecture have a lot of similarities and differences. There are overlapping parts to both fields. One of the fundamental differences between civil engineering and architecture is that civil engineers have a much broader application in the work field. Civil engineers can design a house, but an architect cannot…

Space is arguably one of the most important and powerful elements of architecture. Before architecture was the building and making of buildings, now in more recent times architecture is also considered the study and interpretation of space. In terms of architecture space is not empty. It has the potential to become a place where people interact and go about their daily lives. Space utilizes many modifying elements for an architectural reason to enhance the experience of occupying a certain space…

physical manifestation of a quest to connect with the natural environment. The house is a reflection of the architect's creative sensibilities; its essence being simplicity in thought and expression - taking shape through the form, its spaces and building materials. The site has been defined by the coordinates of several existing majestic mango trees. Hence, the ‘function’ is the conservation of these 100-odd-year-old inhabitants; while the ‘form’ of the structure is governed by their location.…

An analytical study of Albert Speer’s work and how he created memory through works of ar¬¬chitecture. The scale of a building is usually driven by the client’s notion to create and establish an understanding that is derived from its appearance and structural might: an experience by the people that experience the spaces within the building. It’s also through the scale of the building that memory of the owner will transcend into the future to create a lasting memory. Grandeur in architecture is…

Theatre. The project consists of a new, modernist building that connects directly onto the existing Episcopal Palace that is situated on the beautiful banks of the river Ness. The palace was originally built in 1878 for Bishop Eden (from which it takes its name) and designed by Alexander Ross, who had previously designed the cathedral adjacent to the site. After much…

1437, all other buildings experiences roof leakage during rainfall. Buildings 1402 and 1408 are more egregious than others. In addition, with 1408 housing the main office, IC and Server localities, and leakage is problematic as it can lead to excessive loss of learning materials, i.e. computers and servers. More so, leakage within the main offices presents a disheartening picture to our community, parents and other visitors. AEC is currently performing extensive roof fix to building 1408. Work…

laws about engineering and architecture. According to a scientific view, as reported in Milliyet Newspaper, Japanese architects design flexible tall buildings. This avoids the building to collapse or break. And also for short buildings they invented a system. This system basically holds the building with giant hooks. At the time of the earthquake, building moves with the ground. This again avoids it to break. These examples show us how essential it is to adapt our structures as per nature…
