function, and the honesty of true beauty defined by a paradigm of, “firmness, commodity and delight.” Vitruvius’ writings established a concept that influenced the craft of architecture developed to be the essential components of successful architectural design as the craft progressed through centuries. Book I, emphasizes the importance of education in many branches of study an architect should be trained in. “……
leader and a member that takes the role of the mechanic and/or the brains of the group. He conveys his perspective in “La Vida Robot”, where he shows that “[Lorenzo] had grown up rebuilding car engines with his brother and cousin. Now he was ready to build something of his own. The team had found its mechanics man…”(David 189). This…
the program of the opera house proves yet again that she focused more on the form and designated more of her time designing the form rather than thinking deeply about the function. The combination of complexity and simplicity that took place in the design process of this building reflect back on Gregotti’s argument, that explains that simplicity and complexity exist…

buyers requirement. CAD or Computer-aided design has brought a revolution in the Textile Industry. The time consuming and cumbersome process of textile designing has been made easier by CAD. Now thoughtful and innovative designs are available to the textile designers and textile manufacturers at the click of a mouse. When the products in pre-manufacturing stage are designed with the help of computer-based tools, it is termed as CAD or Computer-aided design. Sometimes the acronyms such as CADD or…
Introduction: Plastic materials simplifies life for most humans. Plastic has amazing properties, for example it is durable, strong, flexible, lightweight, inexpensive, stainless , and insulates against heat and electricity. Plastic can be used to make almost any object, which is evident just by looking around. Trying to spend a day without touching anything plastic is almost impossible in a modern society. Plastic is present in things that are often very close to the user, as the mattress of the…
Design and Simulation of Microcantilevers for Sensing Applications Abstract- MEMS is the integration of active and passive elements on a single chip, which combine electronics, electrical as well as mechanical elements to use in sensing and actuation. MEMS technology used in sensing applications with use of basic mechanical elements such as microcantilevers, beams, diaphragms, springs, gears and so on. In this research paper, microcantilevers are used as basic elements for design of Sensors.…
necessity of pattern maker in apparel industry is inexpressible. A pattern maker can convert fashion designers imagination to the materialized. A pattern maker is he who makes garment pattern based on Fashion designers/Design team provided idea/sketch. The sustainable of a design mostly depends on pattern makers expertise, efficiency and capability. As we know the fabric cost of a garment is required 50% (percent) of total value. So, if 1% fabric cost is possible to save by efficient pattern…
