Natural building

Innovating Building material Solar –thermal cladding (solar activated façade) The innovating building material I am going to write about is The Solar –thermal cladding . This type of cladding is the new type of cladding whereby solar panels are added to the cladding to form a more efficient and sustainable materials for all sorts of buildings. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) This is a new style where by the solar panels are hidden and are covered by materials such as wood , at this moment in time this kind of technology is building done and placed onto building in the USA., however it has been available in Switzerland for some time . ( Eco building pulse, 2016) The building material is also known as solar activated façade and has been developed by a few companies however predominantly by a company in Switzerland named Luciodo Solar AG who got the idea from Switzerland-based architect Giuseppe Fent. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) This type of material is used for cooler cliamtes , as the building material is a use of a thermal storage device , the outer material ( wood for example ) will be angled in the summer to allow for the suns rays to come in and allow the solar energy to be stored up. ( Eco building pulse, 2016) The way in which this material function is better explained by Swiss innovators Nelson solar that “Solar radiation from the low winter sun is transmitted through the glass facade and absorbed in the louver-structured wooden absorber. Slowly the wood is warmed…

disaster happened. According to the article, more than 40 buildings collapsed throughout the city. Many people were trapped under the rubble of the fallen buildings. Mexico was first built on top of a lake. This makes for a slightly different urban structure than we are used to. The soft soil has made it difficult for city planners and geographers create a solid urban structure that can withstand natural disasters like this earthquake. Although a city built on a lake isn’t ideal, that is not…

Mohammed Waseem Chiraagh 1380983 ARCH 6313 - Critical Studies 3 Major Assignment Traditionally as humans, when critiquing a building our thoughts are based on the buildings form as a whole, one defined object or boundary made up of different components which creates the overall look, structure and how it fits into the contextual surroundings. In the text “Why Architecture Matters” Paul Goldberger, shows that not only the outer boundary or façade is important but that there is another dimension…

Space is arguably one of the most important and powerful elements of architecture. Before architecture was the building and making of buildings, now in more recent times architecture is also considered the study and interpretation of space. In terms of architecture space is not empty. It has the potential to become a place where people interact and go about their daily lives. Space utilizes many modifying elements for an architectural reason to enhance the experience of occupying a certain…

fashions. Additionally, both forms are constructed in a fashion that allows them to be apart of its surrounding site. However, they do have divergences. They differ mainly in how they relate to their surroundings, and how their different constructions allow the surroundings to affect the forms. Additionally, tectonics and material expression are both still very important and relevant in modern day architecture, and there are many buildings that show this. The houses similarly share the concept…

Part 3: Preamble and Justification of the Four Policies Part 3.1: Policy Safety 1: Rebuilding, Monitoring and Assessments of Building Safety The council will grant planning permission for the development where safety will be maintained and enhanced, with its main focuses on:  Rebuilding damaged buildings by flooding or other disasters which improve their quality of safety to live in, and to ensure safety is valued during the development.  Ensuring that the quality of buildings will be…

Building structure is a combination of several aspects that act as a building. The information about the building structure is significant to assess the structural vulnerability of a building from various hazards. The construction materials, style and type of the buildings depends on the usage such as residential, commercial, light industrial and special buildings. The building construction types for the residential buildings are separate houses, semi-detached and apartment buildings.…

time. The art of building amazing things from basic materials has always been in trend. Carpenters are skilled in many areas of home improvement. Their functions include building and installing staircases, doors and windows, making “built-ins” of various kinds, interior wall modifications, framing for walls and closets, all trim and molding and many more. Basically, all works connected with cutting, repairing and installing wood are performed by carpenters. When it comes to building or…

theatre but it was demolished in 1971 in order to accommodate for a new dramatic arts space. The growing city needed a more modern approach to theatrical design and so the city council appointed Architects, Law & Dunbar-Naismith to commission a much larger and practical public realm for Inverness: Eden Court Theatre. The project consists of a new, modernist building that connects directly onto the existing Episcopal Palace that is situated on the beautiful banks of the river Ness. The palace…

code. Neither of his promises was kept. The buildings were either built too fast and not safely, or took too long to be rebuilt. The end result of the effort to rebuild was a town that was just as unstable and unsafe as before. So, when the disaster hit in 2016 the town was not prepared by any means. In 2009 more then 300 people died. When the 2016 earthquake hit the numbers were no better, with more then 1000 people displaced and almost 250 people killed. After 2009 the construction of the…
