Tectonics

part of the Ring of Fire, and Krakatoa is one of them. Krakatoa is an active volcano located on an island, Rakata, in the Sunda Strait, Indonesia. The Sunda Strait is a body of water in between two islands, Java and Sumatra. The volcano is along the tectonic plates of the Indian-Australian and Eurasian, this area is known for its high activity of earthquakes and volcanoes. Krakatoa has erupted ten times within the last couple centuries and last erupted in September 2012, but on August 26th and…

RECOMMENDATION: - build and vitalize the surrounding neighborhood - reconfigure or redesign the physical organization of the playground - fulfill some of the visions the project set out to do KEY FACTS: Sherbourne Common improved the city life quality by redeveloping a brownfield site. The revitalization project consists of a stormwater treatment facility and a recreation park. Because this neighborhood is undergoing new developments, the Common is isolated and secluded, thus it felt empty and…

Introduction: If you have paid any attention to the news lately, you will hear a phrase that is becoming more and more widely used to describe one of the main dangers of hydraulic fracturing (fracking) in Alberta. This phrase is called “induced seismicity.” Numerous tremors have been felt in Alberta within the past six (6) months and a concern is growing that a large earthquake will be triggered in the immediate future. Residents of Alberta are worried that their homes and livelihoods will be…

So there's life in the deep oceans here on Earth, and I mean the deep oceans, two and three miles down, where light has never and will never reach. And this life lives without oxygen, or light, and they do it around deep sea vents, fissures in the tectonic plate, that spew heavy metals and toxic gases at scorching (or boiling, as the case may be) temperatures. These chemicals and metals build up around the fissure and form massive chimney like structures, that will eventually become covered in…

For what reason do elephant seals come ashore during the spring and summer? This and many other ocean questions are asked at competitions of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. I enjoy academic competitions like this because they allow me to share the knowledge I have accumulated over the years. In April 2016, myself and several friends travelled to Morehead City, North Carolina, to compete in the national competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. Earlier, in February, we had emerged…

repetition justify or interpret the meanings. According to Frampton: regional critic must rely global quality of modern architecture critic at the same time to give private answers for each context, taking into account the terrain, climate, light, shape tectonic rather than spectacular or scenography and perception tactile rather than visual. Regionalism refuses to give up local characteristics, and criticizes modern architecture inhuman. Regionalism want to build an environment in which the…

first phase of arts and crafts movement attempted to prevail over historicism with separation from its commercially produced ornament, the movement would now go through another enhancement, by detaching from linear art of painting to connect to tectonics and architecture. This…

Exclusively, students will build up a bunch of small-scale assemblages of tectonic drawn at 1:50 scale, and in isometric, with 30 degree angles x and y axes. The components that include a regular infrastructural layer in the urban space: vehicles, bus-stops, steps, portions, swimming pools, road signs, traffic lights, footbridges…

1000 years because these sediments accumulated from atmospheric dust like micrometeorites, volcanic ash and other dust that comes from the land. Scientists use sediment samples to dig deeper into a history of the ocean and the Earth, but due to tectonic activity the history age is not…

DECONSTRUCTION: THE DYNAMIC COMPLEXITY DILEMMA “ ‘The Belly of an Architect’ is like a jewel with a huge flaw, it is simultaneously dazzles and disappoints the audience.” (Michael Wilmington,1990). The movie critic states that the producer Greenaway yet again creates a comic-erotic parables about the artist's nightmare, who struggles to produce or create something timeless. In this case the Chicago star architect, Stourley Kracklite is the representative artist that struggles to understand the…
