...use in the world of Design? In my assignment, I will be looking at how the general use of certain software’s and digital technology has taken the world of architecture and Interior Design in another era. And how other articles and journals supports that view and don’t. At the moment, we are living in a world of advanced technology where everything is taught using digital technology, whether it be a mobile device, an iPad or a computer, in a preschool or third level facility. It shows that we are ingrained with it nowadays and even more with the future generation to come. The impact that it has on my chosen career, Architecture and Interior Design has gone on leaps and bounds since I started out as a professional. In my own opinion, as well as looking at different articles and journals, I think it has benefited us as a designer nowadays and the way we think differently productivity. But I also can’t help wondering how it all worked out many years ago without the aid of technology The changes we see nowadays digitally started when the industrial revolution came about! Steel and electricity were new on the scene and designer had to bring them into the design of the future builds. At the time of the industrial revolution, the structure of skyscrapers had to bring in the new elements (Steel and Electricity) and, therefore it had an impact on designers and teams, and how they were going to introduce the elements. This in effect made them think more about technology and how it could be...

...A Critique of Design in History by Victor Margolin The article Design in History by Victor Margolin discusses the issues between design and the broader subjects within the field of history. He argues that design should be considered of enough importance to be studied as its topic. Margolin also emphasises that the history of design is also significant in other areas of history. Margolin acknowledges the accomplishments of design historians including the wide variety of research that has been conducted and the “growing collection of academic publications.” (Margolin, 2009) However, he criticises the lack of generalisation to other components of history like the social aspects. “Yet despite these accomplishments, the community continues to operate within an intellectual framework that frequently isolates design from much of what other historians do.” (Margolin, 2009) He goes on to describe how subjects such as history of technology, engineering, material culture and many more may also be relevant but that design has failed to engage with these other topics. In the second part of the article, Margolin talks about the successes of technology historians who manage to link subjects of technology and invention to a wider range of other topics. He refers to a book American Genesis: A Century of Invention and Technological Enthusiasm, 1870-1970, by Thomas Hughes who described technological inventions in terms of “systems” rather than “individual objects.” According to Margolin, this...

...a broader reflection on Australian design history’s ‘modernity problem’. We argue that although the examination of Australia as a socio-cultural context for the practice of design continues to engage scholars, the will to profess the existence of progressive Australian design has precluded significant examination of design’s regressive effects. The current environmental crisis is, as Arturo Escobar argues, ‘a crisis of modernity, to the extent that modernity has failed to enable sustainable worlds.’[1] Design is implicated here for its contribution to environmental degradation, as is design history for accounts that validate designers’ development of concepts, processes and products that impose the unsustainable on societies. The latter is pronounced in Australian design history. When modernity and its cultural manifestations are understood as European inventions, admitting limited scope for cultural exchange, claiming historical significance for Australian design inevitably involves the uncritical application of imported principles.[2] The halting attempts to write Australian design history are mostly bound up in proselytizing for the values and benefits of the modern and eulogising designers’ efforts to force change in the face of conservative cultural establishments and indifferent publics. Even the most recent treatments continue to be engulfed by discussions of derivativeness, marginality and uniqueness.[3] Elsewhere, however, the culture of ‘peripheral’ localities is seen...

...Art And Culture Art and Culture Since the beginning of time, artists have labored extensively to find innovative ways to convey sentiment, passion, and feeling. Telling stories and trying to unlock the minds of people through different avenues of artistic labors. Art touches and affects people in unique ways; it can have special or unusual meaning on the person depending on how one views it. Artists’ rendering of their art is interpreted in numerous ways by others who view it unless it is explained by the artist on its meaning giving a clear example of what they are portraying. Two people looking at the same painting, sculpture, portrait, or photo may come to different views on the arts meaning even though they are looking at the same item. Art is how one interprets it and what that person sees. In today’s society art is done in so many other forms and diverse categories. This essay will concentrate and bring together four art forms, photojournalism, painting, architecture, and sculpture. The in-depth examination of the subsequent arts will be concentrated to the following: The influence of technology on the evolution of each of the art forms: architecture, photography, sculpture, and painting. Diversity’s role in the development of the arts and how it changed throughout the 20th century. Art and popular culture’s relationship and how this developed during the 20th century.

...restoring process, the illness is completely eradicated and allows the patient to gain maximum health before the illness. Healing is required for those who are suffering from serious illness. Healing is the way to obtain wellness and restoration of spirituality. Eric Chapman, who is the chief executive officer of the Baptist Healing Trust in Tennessee, Nashville suggest a healing hospital, which is capable of healing the illness and restore the spirituality and emotional elements of one’s life (Chapman, 2007). Advancement in technology, physical facility design, and culture also played a big role in the healing hospital. A healing hospital has many vital components and these components of a healing hospital are related to the spirituality. According to the author of Radical loving care: Building the healing hospital in America, a healing hospital has three key components they are healing physical environment, the integration of work design and technology, and culture of radical loving care (Chapman, 2007). In addition, there are several challenges of creating a healing environment in the complexities of a hospital environment. First and foremost, a healing physical environment is one of the core elements or a prerequisite for a healing hospital setting and it is related to spirituality. A healing physical environment is similar to a healing environment, which increases rest and privacy...

...1. What do you think is the most important emerging issue in the design of work? I think the most important issue in the design of work is the sociotechnical system. Sociotechnical systems (STS) in organizational development are approaches to complex organizational work design that recognizes the interaction between people and technology in workplaces. The term also refers to the interaction between society's complex infrastructures and human behavior. In this sense, society itself, and most of its substructures, are complex sociotechnical systems. Sociotechnical systems theory is theory about the social aspects of people and society and technical aspects of organizational structure and processes. Here, technical does not imply technology. "Technical" was a term used in those times to refer to structure and a broader sense of technicalities. Sociotechnical refers to the interrelatedness of social and technical aspects of an organization. Sociotechnical theory therefore is about joint optimization, with a shared emphasis on achievement of both excellence in technical performance and quality in people's work lives. Sociotechnical theory, as distinct from sociotechnical systems, proposes a number of different ways of achieving joint optimization. They are usually based on designing different kinds of organization, ones in which the relationships between socio and technical elements lead to the emergence of productivity and wellbeing. Sociotechnical refers to the interrelatedness...

...Discuss the role of architecture as art in terms of the four roles of an artist with a real world example. According to Webster’s dictionary, architecture is defined as “an art or science of building.” While I believe buildings are mostly engineering processes, structures can be artistic. Architecture comes with design and design usually has some kind of creative element to it. This creativity to reflect the architect’s artistic ability in a building, the thought processes, functional aspects, is art. There is a lot of effort put into making a building. Apart from the engineering process and scientific principles of manipulating mass, volume, materials, and pragmatic elements such as keeping in mind cost, technology, an architect has to be creative to make the building or structures very pleasurable to view. This is because architecture, in essence, fulfills all the roles of an artist. I believe architecture primarily reflects the history, time, culture of the people, technology, and is very symbolic of that time in several different ways. Several examples can be attributed to the artistic roles of architecture. I personally love the fig 494 on page 370 of our text. It is structure called Turning Torso Residential Tower in Sweden. This particular building reflects the third and fourth role of artists of making the structure pleasurable and give hidden meaning of stronger powers. Another impressive building is the Burj Khalifa (fig 501, pg 373, name changed in 2010) in Dubai...

...multinational corporation that designs and sells consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers. The company's best-known hardware products are the Macintosh line of computers, the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. Apple’s software includes the Mac OS X operating system; the iTunes media browser; Aperture, a professional photography package; the Safari web browser; and iOS, a mobile operating system. Fortune magazine named Apple the most admired company in the world from 2008 to 2011. But Apple experienced its share of difficulties in the 80s and was nearly bankrupt when Steve Jobs returned to the company to reclaim his position as CEO in 1997, after a 12 year hiatus. Jobs’ return signaled Apple’s turnaround, and the company’s strategy was redefined as it evolved to focus on the mobile world and the digital lifestyle of home consumers. This report will review Apple’s core competencies and the competitive advantage that has contributed to its unprecedented market success and phenomenal profitability. Apple inc. Core Competencies Apple’s most significant core competency has without a doubt been its ability to continuously innovate. In the past 10 years, Apple has successfully launched five legitimately life-changing innovations: the ipod, itunes, the ipad, the iphone and the Apple Apps have each altered the way people across the globe live their daily lives. Apple has continuously invested in research and development to design and develop new products and peripherals...

...new ideas about what hospitals should be and how they should function are creating new challenges for hospital designers and caregivers” (Research Design Connections, 2004, ¶ 1). The healing hospital paradigm is a new concept that some hospitals are implementing to achieve a healing environment. This paper will: explore the reasoning behind this new model; discuss components of healing hospitals, including their connection to spirituality; and identify the challenges of implementing such a paradigm. Reasoning for Healing Hospital The healing hospital model both provides and reaps many benefits. The paradigm not only benefits the patient but also the healthcare team and the community in which it serves. It has been shown to result in “patient satisfaction, improved outcomes, caregiver satisfaction with increased chance for a positive sense of meaning in work and community satisfaction” (Zarren, n.d., p. 5). The institution that implements the healing hospital model receives remuneration with business success that follows superior healthcare delivery. The healing hospital paradigm also serves to provide a useful model for hospitals that desire to move toward a more holistic approach to healthcare (Zarren). Healing Culture Promotes Wellness The healing hospital paradigm strives for wellness by creating a culture of healing. This holistic...

...Mechanistic Versus Organic Organizational structures vary in designs depending to the extent or type of key elements they have. The designs that will be discussed are “matrix structures”, “organic structures”, “hollow design” and one of the recent structure is “virtual organization” design. Designs can either be describe as “mechanistic” or “organic”. Keep in mind that there were decades in the past that reflect a certain organizational designs because of the change in environment or situations. This in turn made an impact on members of organizations. Mechanistic Mechanistic structure work on more stable environment, low differentiation of tasks, low integration of departments and functional areas, centralized decision-making and formalized and standardized tasks (Burns & Stalker, 2010). Organic Organic structures work on uncertain and dynamic environment, tasks is more differentiated, different department and functional sections are closely integrated, lower levels of staffs are empowered and therefore decision making is decentralized, and minor tasks is standardized and formalized (Burns & Stalker, 2010). Google adopts this type of model that aligns with their culture (Deutschman, 2010). Althougth supervisors are responsible in managing employees, these employees see their supervisors as leaders than managers because they choose their metric for tracking to achieve their goals (Deutschman, 2010). The employees sense the cross-functional leadership environment within...

...Apple Vs. Microsoft Since the mid-80s Apple and Microsoft have been locked in a heavy weight battle to become king in the technology industry. While Apple released its first Macintosh computer in 1984, Microsoft followed shortly after with the release of Windows 1.0 just a year later. The two struggled to gain a foothold on the market, and have been trying to outdo one another ever since. Corporate Culture Apple has long been known to have a very uncompromising corporate culture. For years Steve Jobs ran the company as a perfectionist who, while very successful, was not typically willing to alter his vision in any way. Where some corporations are a collaboration between the ideas of many individuals with some give and take, Apple products were almost one hundred percent Steve Jobs uncompromising vision. With Microsoft Windows maintaining a huge market share in the personal computing business, Apple never swayed from the concept of putting their Mac OS only on Apple hardware, instead of licensing it to various hardware manufacturers so that it may be on a wide variety of systems. Apple has always been about the vision of Steve Jobs, and the man was almost more of a designer than a technology guru, which is an indication of why the Apple iPhone with its superior design has been so successful. Another noticeable concept of Apple’s corporate culture is its secrecy with new products. Whether it is the new iPhone, iPad, or Mac OS operating system Apple does not let any information...
