Urbanisation also causes faster run off because of the non permeable surfaces such as roads, roofs and car parks. This also creates drainage problems that can lead to contamination and erosion of natural water courses. CONSTRUCTION AND ITS EFTFECTS Have you ever thought about how construction that goes on everyday on our planet as well as the demolition that goes on affects our planet and our environment? landfills in the country with the resources

PrecisionCraft, our architectural capabilities set us apart from many competitors. We would not attract as many customers without our extremely “life-like” 3D rendering capability that people are attracted to on our website. Also, we align the architecture with manufacturing technology that is also the latest and greatest. The technology is becoming so good that it will not be long before the architectural drawings will be “automatically” manufactured with no human communication necessary. A streamlined

Society & Architectural Design Architecture is defined as the complex or carefully designed structure of an object. In this case architecture can apply to a variety of different examples that are not just buildings, or objects, but as a reflection upon the thoughts and ideas of the time period in history. In this essay I will be discussing the dramatic impact that architecture has had on the major civilizations throughout time by being able to display them in their works, which not only was

perspective of how the different components of end-‐points, devices and links might fit together. Comparing this generalized architecture framework to what is currently offered by the market leads to an interesting observation: much of what is currently called an Internet of Things resembles a very simple architecture, the client-‐server relationship. This one-‐to-‐many structure with centralized control makes security easier, but concentrates

TELL US THREE SETBACKS YOU HAVE FACED One major setback occurred during my final year in Architectural school. I had developed an interest in traditional African building techniques involving mud blocks. After some research I believed that mud block technology would not only reduce the cost of construction considerably which currently relied on Portland cement but also go a long way to solve the housing deficit facing Ghana. Having chosen traditional African building techniques as my thesis topic

studies to widen its commercial scope”(, 2012, ). Since algae are freely available, the use of algae in any industry could help reduce cost and increase profitability. One of the recent research studies was composed by a team from the School of Architecture and the Built Environment of Singapore Polytechnic. The team was focused on the use of algae in the construction industry. Algae from the catchment areas of water bodies are known for its binding ability. The team used this binding ability of algae
