In this essay, I am going to discuss what ornaments mean to both Christopher Dresser and John Ruskin, showing the main differences between their thoughts about ornaments, then I will compare their thoughts with the contemporary meaning of ornamentation, which is the meaning of ornamentation today, and at the end, I am going to share my own thoughts about ornaments. Ornamentation, which is the state of decorating an object, a room, or a building, is one of the visual elements in architecture…

A scenario that best elucidates the operation of a 24 hour knowledge factory involves three or more geographically and temporally distributed software R&D teams. Traditionally, this scenario required that the complete project is sequentially moderated and assigned alternately to each of the teams. Collaboration between the teams, in this case, is minimal, restricted to communicating through the various interface provided. Unlike the traditional development model, the 24-h knowledge factory…

Scope Creep When a project fails, it has a multitude of negative consequences. The loss of time, money, and other resources coupled with the effects on the morale of the project team are all high costs to pay if the project’s failure is the result of not following project management best practices. There is no definitive definition of what makes a project a failure; however, a good definition of a project is a failure when the projects needed resources erode the value of the project past a…

of evaluation tools to assist this process, appropriate to the situation. For example, Evaluation Matrices may be used to determine the relative priorities of a list of objectives or project criteria , These matrices are especially beneficial when considering issues and/or objectives at the earliest stages of project development (Graham et.al. , (2006 ) And also this phase aim to discard ideas that might lead to additional re-design or to a disruption of the program. and also time is considered…

The Importance of the Triple Constraint In project management the primary objectives of any project should include Scope, Time, and Cost, and these three objectives are referred to as the Triple Constraint (Meredith, Mantel, and Shafer, 2014). In order for a project to be successful it is imperative that the project start off on the right footing and that the triple constraint be clearly defined. Defining the triple constraint would include spelling out the intended deliverables known as scope…

Toyo Ito in “Diagram Architecture” describes the architecture of Kazuyo Seijima and the spirit of her structures as ‘diagram architecture’ for the close similarity between the buildings themselves and the scale drawings representing them. Thus, Sejima’s works of architecture merge with the diagrams, as the diagrams showing functional conditions are transformed into constructed spatial forms in the greatest brevity. For Sejima, the architectural convention of planning rests mainly on the spatial…

art”. The architecture of buildings can be defined as, “The process and the product of planning, designing, and the construction of buildings.” The anatomy of buildings within architecture takes the knowledge of art and science to have a successful project. You can do multiple things to be considered an architect, it’s only producing blueprints of residential buildings that make me want to be an architect. Furthermore, there are millions of buildings in the world, many of which are very…

1.1 PROJECT GOALS Despite the evolvement of mobile communication networks, there is still a huge gap in network coverage in remote areas. As of present, satellite broadband is still the leading provider of network services in remote areas, but due to the high cost involve in setting up satellites systems and the cost involve in owning a satellite phone, this is not readily available to all users in remote locations. In situations where satellite signals are not available due to various factors…

will need to avoid to be successful. The errors are deviation, high pressure, accountability and elevate. Studies have found that these errors can cause projects to fail and should be avoided. Proper planning and awareness will decrease the probability of setbacks due to errors. 1. Deviations According to Tinsley, Dillon, & Madsen (2011), project managers should seek out operational deviations from the norm and examine whether their reasons for allowing the related risk have merit. Managers…

In order to monitor and evaluate a program, a written evaluation plan is needed. An evaluation plan (for a particular evaluation) usually specifies: what will be evaluated; the purpose and criteria for the evaluation; the key evaluation questions; and how data will be collected, analyzed, synthesized and reported. (Better Evaluation, n.d.). Therefore, an evaluation plan is use to evaluated the results of a program for improvement and decision making. It clarifies the steps needed to assess the…
