The website continues from the Sims 2 Create a Sim and explanation into Sims 3. The Sims 3 was created in 2009; is the third generation for the franchise. Because of this is the third instalment for The Sims, the site explains the steps that the developers focused on to bring the game to life. As explained in a video; The developers really focused on creating the animations in the game and at one point in order for The Sims to look believable but goofy, they shot real life references of people doing
a series of sequencial steps that take place, creating a process to complete a task. The process, generally speaking, involves two or more individuals and creates or adds value to an organization. Workflows are a standardization of work that takes into account quality, productivity, cost, safety and moral depending on the type of process flow (Liker & Meier, 2006). Workflow analysis includes observation and documentation of the process to better understand the current state. Viewing the current
design process. In that sense, changes in architecture are created by the change in design values. To avoid, or at least, decrease repeating history, Noori’s study provided a perspective on adapting a promising concept in architecture, borrowed from philosophy: the “transvaluation” of values. Besides, since architecture is mainly connected to human life, the study considered and examined Nietzsche's “transvaluation” project. In order to do so, the study took the state of contemporary architecture as
With the interaction between the development of computational approaches in architecture and the contemporary forms of spatial design intelligence, some new architectural design theories emerged to make differences between architects and control designing processes. These theories are almost employed in all designing realms, from architecture to urban design to provide fields of ideas and solutions that privilege by complexity. Most of these theories are oriented to relay on understanding and using
In the history of architecture there often was a discrepancy between what the architect wants to design and what the client wants to have. In fact, sometimes an architect will do a great design and acquire awards for his design but maybe the client or user have an aversion to it. Stater (2002) and Misra (2002) argue this issue in a distinct way. In the article " it is just not Cricket", Stater (2002) explain the relationships between the architect and clients in different cases and gives two
the process could lead to the distortion of the meaning and value of its original form. It is imperative to process the data carefully since this data becomes information needed to be stored. The main purpose of information storage system is to preserve the information gathered used for making plans and decisions at present and in the future. Arguments in which data warehouse architecture is best among consultants and vendors never cease since each one of them claims that the architecture they
perceptions of computer in architecture. Some criticize computer use because computers—by their nature mechanistic and algorithmic—support only uncreative thinking and production. However, some increasingly view computers as valuable tools of creative production. Educational research indicates that there is no single "effect" of the computer on creativity; technology can support either uncreative drill or creative production. In recent years, contemporary architecture has been changed by the evolution
last four years of studying architecture, I have seen the power that it has to shape communities, shape lives, and to create new ways that people interact with each other. The way architecture can help enhance living and allow for creation of new interactions of people is one of the reasons I find the subject so interesting. The way architecture can shape a whole culture and the way that the culture then in turn shapes the architecture is fascinating to me. Architecture is also not a static subject
The history of architecture is quite long and there is so much to learn! There is so much to learn and I have so many questions! I wish I could ask famous architects, as the reason they built it, there's a particular pattern of colors or patterns they chose for that building, there's a reason they built that building, or if they were going through something that has influenced their reasoning on why they built it as they did. The branches of architecture are civil, religious, naval, military and
susceptible to the force of nature. They had to make shelter for themselves. Material was one of the most basic tools to create shelter. By development of building construction, selection and use of materials also developed. The relationship between the architecture and the materials before invention of modern materials was simple and generally naturally [1]; in the past, architects always use tradition materials according their experimental skills. For choosing structural materials, they had attention to
forward the tactility of design in practicing architecture. He aimed at connecting the intellect with senses, idea with phenomena and body with environment. For Holl, the experiential potential of architecture provides the discipline to establish such a connection; the connecting dimension of architecture is because of the phenomenal properties of a built form. Architecture, as the art of changing the environment and the space, involves a dialectic process between the physical and the intangible world
Traditional culture in architecture is being eroded by modernity of the present architecture in China. Analyze the causes and effects of this problem and possible solutions. In China, urbanization is at dramatic pace but in static patterns. This leads to the Chinese cities losing their own styles, and being built in the static architecture modes which are introduced from developed countries. Moreover, the traditional architecture cultures are being eroded by the static modern architecture patterns. Some
Type refers to an object that belongs to class with similar characteristics. In architecture type refers to the objects with same formal structure or use. Typology in turn signifies the study of types And analysis their characteristics. In order to understand the work of architecture, we need to understand the concept of type. The work of architecture can either be characterized by a condition of individuality or it can also be referred as a class of repeated objects. The concept of type is
Architecture today is more focusing on aesthetic instead of the surrounding environment. In the result, the importance of the relationship between architecture and environment have been neglected and forgotten. Figure1.1: Falling water by Frank Lloyd Wright, an example of showing the harmony between the environment with architecture itself. Nowadays, the importance of the relationship between the residents’ satisfaction and the residential housing design is getting more concerned than ever before
understand the story of sustainable architecture we trace it back from modernism to postmodernism. To be honest, there is no doubt that there are always controversy between sustainable development and modernism. Some critics criticized that the rapid development of technology during the industrial revolution led to lots of social and environmental problems. Meanwhile, there is other trend that some critics believed that present sustainability with its green architecture are the result of modernism.
aspects can be interpreted through the feelings evoked from a space, the cohesiveness of two spaces conjoined, and the differences between additive and divisive plans. Architecture and society has changed in a drastic way since the works of Vitruvius and through these changes many of his ideas no longer apply to modern day architecture. Furthermore, Rapson Hall can still fall under the criteria of many different ideals of the past and the modern. Rapson Hall captures, in an eloquent way, the intricate
“The history of the world’s great architecture is the astonishing story of how individuals and groups have taken that basic necessity of building and transformed it into possibly the greatest manifestation of the human spirit—more profound, more lasting, more inexhaustible than any other art, a vital and truly wonderful expression of the experience of mankind, in every part of the world (Nuttgens 9).” As Nuttgens eloquently expressed, architecture is a “vital…expression of the experience
a gradual transformation of public space, a metamorphic process, without relying on a hypothetical time in the future when everything will be perfect. The mistake of planners and architects is to believe that fifty years from now Alexanderplatz will be perfected.” –Daniel Libeskind In the world of architecture, it is important that one make their mark, but in a way that will be able to stand out from the rest. Unlike many things, architecture is very hard to change. With that being said, how can one
designs. Many societies, empires, and time periods have architecture that is distinct, and religion has had a definite presence in shaping that architecture. In particular Islamic architecture has strong influences from Islamic teachings from the Quran, as well as secondary sources of religious influence mostly Christianity (and some influence Judaism). The impact of the Christian religion on architecture spread into influencing future architecture built for the Islamic religion, in addition to the influence
New Technologies in Modern Architecture and Design “Technology” is a terminology which has just entered the contemporary literature of architecture. Despite the high significance and the widespread use of it, there is much ambiguity and inconsistency in the use of this term. It is certainly arguable that during the past decades, the world has been undergoing the most significant period of technological innovation and global restructuring since the first decades of the 20th century. Cities have always
