    Architectural Design Process

    Architectural Design Process Programming Phase -Programming is the activity of determining the "program", or set of needs that a building needs to fulfill. Any project should begin with a thorough examination of these needs, goals and constraints, to form as complete as possible an understanding of these issues. This includes an examination of who the users of the building will be, what use they will make of the building, what rooms/spaces they need, what mood the building should create, and

    Spirit of Place

    Diwa ng Lunan: Understanding Filipino Architecture In this world, there are places that give people strong mental images, a memory or created one, which make them unique and different from other spaces. The spirit of place, or diwa ng Lunan, is a belief that each place has its own identity, character and uniqueness that differ from others. It has its own meanings that its inhabitants give value to. There are different factors that may have brought on the individuality to these places – the architectural

    Japanese Artchitecture

    Jane Doe Art 205 M4 Among many other things Japanese architecture was originally heavily influenced by Chinese architecture. At the same time it has developed many unique differences and aspects indigenous to Japan as a result of dynamic changes throughout its long history. Just like Chinese and Japanese painting focused on nature, Japanese architecture integrate the man-made structures with nature. The architects blended the design of the structure into the surrounding landscape. Japanese

    Architecture in Texas

    Timeline of Architecture in Texas BY: SM Early settlers brought to Texas their cultural values and traditions. These values and historical civilization features were reflected through the settlers’ survived architectural achievements. Texas architecture compromises diverse structures and legacy from the Spanish colonies to the European expenditures to the Anglo pioneers’ log cabins. The architecture of Texas through the centuries has indeed outlined the cultural history and gave the state a

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Construction Methods

    The study also showed that 4 of the 5 developers who were part of the study had used construction methods that were not certified. Advantages found in the study were that these alternative construction methods were cost-effective on the part of developers, enhanced speedy delivery, and some construction methods were found to be easy to maintain. The disadvantages were the inability of the houses to resist extreme weather conditions, structural defects such as cracks that are not easy to repair in

    Formation Embedded Design 构型的嵌入式设计 1. 简介: 这篇论文主要讨论一种通过定制编写的方法来制造结构设计的限制范围内整合的方法。该方法将三维几何形状或者算法自动生成的数据转变成经过适当格式化的机器代码以便在单一的CAD建模环境下直接进行数控。这个过程是传统的单向进程,它通过专用机器编程软件将部分文件编译成可数控的文件。在一个开放框架中,将路径创建集成放入设计封装,就可以实现部分机器代码的自动化翻译,而其中的参数可以通过生成算法产生或者由用户明确建模。这种集成方法使得制作约束和设计意图之间的即时反馈成为可能。这个研究的价值在于它加强了构型设计流程和材料建构核心之间的关系网络。 关键字: 开源代码制造 参数化建模 计算设计 多轴 设计实现: 这里提出的方法的目标是从根本上去除设计过程和最终制作操作间的鸿沟。在此方法中设计和生产的流程必须重新构思,自顶向下的流程存在着诸多瑕疵,相比之下将这流程当做一个双向的连续统一体可能会更好,在此统一体中我们可以引入多个反馈回路以加强设计意图和其它影响设计或生产的因素例如制作约束,材料性能和环境压力。要实现

    Reciprocal Architecture

    RECIPROCAL ARCHITECTURE Reciprocal frames comprise a family of structural systems characterized by the interdependent relations of their constituent parts. The term “reciprocal frame” was coined by the English designer and builder Graham Brown in order to describe a structural paradigm that had, until that time, been without a name. Reciprocal frame building types have a long, though somewhat obscure history, having been developed seemingly in parallel by different cultures in response
