Architectural drafting plays a big role in our lives. It is the process by which all architectural things around us are made. Drafting the builds before hand in their entirety makes it so you can make sure that you are following all the rules that go along with architecture, say you didn’t draft a building you were going to make and on the construction you decide to make a bedroom with only one access. If there was a fire and you were in that room and that fire spread to your room you would have
Behind every architectural work there is an architect, whether the architect is one man or woman, a small group, or an entire people. The structure created by any of these architects conveys a message about the architect: their culture, their identity, their struggles. Because of the human element architects offer to their work not just a building is made, but a work of art, a symbol of a people, a representation, is also created. “The history of the world’s great architecture is the astonishing
Introduction The aim of this report is to explore Georgian architecture and design, its history and its status. The Georgian architectural period has been referred to as the “long century” as it covers from August 1714 when King George I [figure 1] came to power right up until the death of George IV in June 1830.

History Of Digital Architectural Design Abstract Digital design technology rapid evaluation and development have affected architecture and urban design in general. Digital design became an integral part of the architectural design process. Computer aided design and digital simulation have led to new forms as well as to an increasingly strategic approach to architecture. From the early sketching process all the way to the production of building components, digital tools offer new possibilities
With the help of architectural engineers, our world has become very civilized and advanced over the past decades. Like all other engineers, architectural engineers use logic and creativity to solve problems. They come up with effective designs to assist people in their everyday tasks. In our daily lives we are surrounded by buildings. Places that were once a dessert are turned into cities that now hold amazing buildings. Houses, schools, shopping centers, offices, apartments, airports, etc. are very
acclaimed and original. Famous moments pop up through the history of France’s art, such as the impressionistic artworks by Monet, the École des Beaux-Arts teachings of classicism, and the iconic Eiffel Tower by Stephen Sauvestre. Paris augments itself with numerous museums to catalog countless masterpieces and sculptures throughout France’s enduring, yet sometimes gritty, history.

Introduction Buildings, like individuals, are embellished distinctively, making some look excellent and critical and others plain and customary. Each building has an exceptional history. Like individuals, buildings age and change with the times. A few buildings are offered "surgery" to restore them to their unique state; others buildings "kick the bucket" from disregard, mis chances and ailment. An alternate probability is that a building of one style might later experience a significant conversion
its historical time line thus far. It begs the question though, does it work as an architectural treasure of Northern Ireland or is it a reaction to turbulent periods in Belfast’s history. Within this critique it is hoped that it can be proven that this museum has gone from a prestigious neoclassical style building standing alone on the southern edge of the botanic garden, to an embracing contextural architectural element that is trying to make a correlation with is surroundings. It’s this embrace
learning about the History of Modern Architecture as a product of Industrialization, now I can identify what type of process in history some cities and neighborhoods had gone through. Still, this new knowledge brings me many questions: What is the architectural style of city where I live? Is my old city a modern city?

Coffered ceilings are an option to add visual and architectural interest and instant personality to any space, no matter a large or a smaller one. Actually, coffers are repeated sunken panels, usually yet not necessarily square or rectangular, trimmed with boxed beams. This ceiling treatment, which can be traced back in architectural history to ancient Rome, was reinvented by the 1800s. Whether using wood, including reclaimed panels and beams, drywall, plaster, tin tiles, moldings, hand-painted
Similarly, H.H. Richardson applied his own style toward his Trinity Church located in Boston. Upjohn and Richardson were both influenced by the architectural styles that originated before them. These styles laid the foundation for their design aesthetics; as well as reasoning, making them influential in religious communities throughout the architectural scene that was taking place in the United States at the time. Upjohn’s essays dealing with the Romanesque style was part of the movement which primed
experimental, modern ideas, reinforcing the idea that aesthetic beauty is absolutely timeless. The early 20th century saw a great deal of influence in terms of classical design. A classical revival had brought a return of emphasis on Palladian architectural motifs, which could be seen in large cities throughout the world, but especially in New York and Boston. In terms of interior design, Edith Wharton and Ogden Codman advocated a similar classical revival, which gave a sense of classical order to
Architectural design Architectural Design (AD) was first launched in 1930 in the UK as its architectural based journal.

It was comparable with any other form of art, whether it is music, fashion
The reference to Rudolf Wittkower, and his 1952 publication Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism was conspicuous here. By the time of the New Brutalism’s publication Wittkower’s works had already, in his own word, “caused more than a polite stir” in post-war architecture. His analysis of proportion, rationality, and abstraction in Palladian architecture was seen as an endorsement on the “hard” Modernist architecture over the “soft” Scandinavian Modernism. The controversy was further fueled
The Gothic Revival The gothic architectural style came about after the fall of the Roman Empire and was well received by the Catholic Church in England. Evolving from Romanesque styles, gothic style incorporates ribbed vaults, large pained and painted windows, and flying buttresses. Gothic styles also having pointed roofs and arches was popular during the mid to late medieval period. The gothic style of architecture is not only important, it was vital to the church, the people, and to the commonwealth
rectangular towers composed of gray concrete blocks. Although the piece of work was made in 2005, it did not become a part of the University of Texas at Austin’s recognized landmarks until the opening of the Dell Gates Complex in September 2012. The history, design, and simplicity of the sculpture form the creative nature of the artwork which makes it stand out as a unique landmark on the university’s campus. An interesting fact about LeWitt is that he never referred to his 3D work as sculptures but
into the architectural expression his buildings, not just as structural elements. The concepts that Labrouste explored through his buildings can be traced through history to the high-rises in the United States of America. Labrouste became a leading architect of the nineteenth century because of his revolutionary ideas and scrutinization of orthodox French architecture theories. The inspiration that Labrouste drew from his early years in Italy lead to the rise of a new concept of architectural composition
building’s purpose was, for example, a Gothic style church and a Classical bank building. Revivalists, on the other hand, felt a nation should choose a shared style which draws on the history of that particular nation. This led to disagreements in many European nations as to what style best fit their national history and would evoke pride among its citizens. Two distinct styles came about during this era, the light and highly decorated Gothic Revival, and the simpler and firmer Romanesque Revival
