...Gio Ponti was one of the most influential and highly commended designers of the twentieth century. He worked in many design fields throughout his life, pursuing architecture, industrial design and furniture design. Ponti was born in Milan in 1891. His studies to become an architect were interrupted by the start of World War One, when he had to serve in the Italian army. After the war he completed his degree in architecture and then became art director of the ceramics manufacturer, Richard-Ginori. From 1923 to 1930, he turned the company into a model of industrial design excellence by decorating simple ceramic forms with elegant neo-classical motifs. "Industry is the style of the 20th century, its mode of creation," wrote Ponti after winning the Grand Prix at the 1925 Paris Expo. (intext) Ponti’s early interest in ceramics was a formative influence and changed his thinking regarding structure and shape in design. According to the New York Times art critic, Alice Rawsthorn, Ponti’s experience at Richard Ginori “fostered his love of rich colors, exuberant shapes and fine craftsmanship” (2011). This influence continued as he began to pursue architecture. He...

...Theory of Architecture 2: Manuals Architectural Design Process and Methodologies The question of the actual design process and methodology of design is more confusing when dealing with architectural design because architectural design more often involves in a team work. Before, most architects are considered more of an artist; they can design but was not able to explain or defends the need to add a significant amount of funds for the particular design. In today’s architectural trends, there are set of rules and guidelines to be followed that could affect or help in making a design. The process should involve the following step. [TSSF Inc.] 1. Assemble the team – As stated above the architectural design involves a team of people. At the outset of the project there should be a scheduling or at least a tentative assembly of efficient architects and consultant who identify the project’s scope and purpose. There should be a project’s team leader who holds the overall responsibility and identifying the right person/s in their fields. 2. Clear Communication – As again stated before, the design part involves a team. The communication should be always available for any enquiry of the different involves, especially for the owner or their representative/s. The Project Architect coordinates regular meetings to design staff, specialists and the Owner’s representative. 3. Budget and Cost Control - Cost control is critical to the success of any project.

...1 Challenges We Face in FM by John Vinken, IFMA Toronto President Vinken’s Views - President’s Message Spring has sprung in Southern Ontario and my mind races onward with ideas that I want to implement both at work and home. And what a better way to explore these ideas and develop some structure around them, than by hiring a person that is motivated, energetic, and able to acquire current knowledge easily. Yeah I know you are asking “Where do I get in line for someone like that?” Well what I have just described is a co-op student. I have my usual 2 co-op students already reserved and they will be starting in 3 weeks time. And let me tell you my whiteboard is filling with initiatives and ideas for these two to deal with. And with two facility management related college programs in the area (at Humber College and at Conestoga Collage) there are co-op students looking for jobs in the facility management field. If you want the contact information use the membership CD just sent to you and on the opening page are the hyperlinks for both of these institutions. This is the third year that IFMA Toronto has produced the membership CD rather than published a membership roster. There are, of course, issues with this year’s CD as there have been with every membership roster created in history I believe. Some of the problems are related to getting updated information about member. As an example when people renew their membership and if it is tardy the membership listing we acquire...

They have been a staple in Portuguese culture for the last five centuries and the tradition of their production and use is highly prevalent in Portuguese colonies the world over. In Portugal, azulejos1 are found on the interior and exterior of churches, palaces, ordinary houses and even train stations or subway stations. They constitute a major aspect of Portuguese architecture and are applied on walls, floors and even ceilings. Having said that, the Portuguese colonisation of Goa has left a major impact on the culture and the lifestyle transcending generations, fads and modern western influences. When the Portuguese left Goa after Liberation2 in 1961 the art form was completely abolished and then revived in Goa in 1998 by a few Goan artists. Turi Azulejos is the brainchild of Shankar Turi who participated in the revival of the azulejo in 1998 initially with a production centre in Goa Velha3 and then later opened up a second in Bicholim4.

...The bilateral relations between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh are influenced by the fact that Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan from 1947 to 1971, when it achieved independence after the Bangladesh Liberation War and the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. As part of historical Shimla Agreement, India sought to make sure that Pakistan would take steps to recognize Bangladesh. Pakistan sought China's help in blocking Bangladesh's entry into United Nations until 1974. Behind the scene India rallied behind Bangladesh to help gain international recognition. By end of March 1973, approximately 99 countries had recognized Bangladesh.[1] Pakistan eventually recognised Bangladesh in 1974. History Liberation war and independence After the partition of British Indian Empire by the United Kingdom in 1947, Bangladesh was integrated in Pakistan which was known as East Bengal until 1955 and thereafter as East-Pakistan following the One Unit program. Bilateral relations between the two wings grew strained over the lack of official recognition for the Bengali language, democracy, regional autonomy, disparity between the two wings, ethnic discrimination, and the central government's weak and inefficient relief efforts after the 1970 Bhola cyclone, which had affected millions in East Pakistan. These grievances led to several political agitations in East Bengal and ultimately a fight for full independence. In March 1971, the Pakistan Armed Forces began...

IMB 443 SEEMA GUPTA VOLKSWAGEN IN INDIA In just 4 years since Volkswagen (VW) set up its India operations, it had captured a 3.6% market share – something the Detroit giants had not been able to do after more than a decade in the country (Exhibit 1). VW was the flagship brand of the Volkswagen group, which also owned Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda. In India, the group was present with Skoda, Audi, and VW. 1 Maik Stephan, Managing Director, Volkswagen Group Sales India said: While three brands give us the collective power, we have to be careful to market them uniquely so that we are not chasing the same customer. i In 2011, the group’s worldwide revenues and net profit were Euro 159 billion and 15.8 billion, respectively. Headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany, the group operated more than 60 plants around the world. It was the second largest automaker behind General Motors. It had a market share of 12.3% in 2011.

Gayathri Submitted By: Group 12 Aditi Singh – 10004 Krishna Chandra – 10020 Rajiv N. – 10032 Srikiran C. Rai – 10048 1. INTRODUCTION BRIEF HISTORY OF THE INDIAN TWO-WHEELER INDUSTRY: In the 50s the two wheeler segment was largely dominated by Automobile Products of India (API) and Enfield. Later on towards the end of the 50s Bajaj Autos began importing Vespa scooters from the Italian company Piaggio. In the following decades, the automobile industry in India was mainly dominated by scooters with API and later Bajaj dominating the market. There were very few products and choices available as far as motorcycle is concerned and Enfield bullet and Rajdoot dominated the market. The 80s saw the entry of Japanese companies in the Indian market with the opening up of the market to foreign companies. Hero Honda and TVS Suzuki are companies formed in this era of market reform. The market was still predominantly scooter dominated and Bajaj and LML were the leading brands producing two-wheelers at that time. Scooter was viewed as a more family and utility friendly vehicle than motorcycle and hence was preferred. The Japanese companies not only collaborated with Indian companies to produce the already existing products but also brought in new technology as a result of which the ever conquering 100cc...
