Architect who practiced the concept of form over function?
Louis Sullivan was the first American architect to declare that "form should follow function". Frank Lloyd Wright, who was one of his followers, also designed buildings following that principle.
Is education needed to become an architect?
No, you can just rock up and get paid cash money to be an architect. Everyone knows they just scribble some crud on a piece of paper and let the builders do all the work.
I would suggest taking up the smoking of crack cocaine and possibly impregnating as many women as possible while you are at high school...I assume you are still at high school?
I would also get my first murder under my belt early.
Entrance essay, arts degree from a community college, bam! Youre an architecht baby.
The bed of a lathe is the central beam that runs down the machine. The head, which holds and turns the workpiece, is fixed at one end, there is a tailstock at the other end which can be adjusted along the bed, and usually a carraige in between, which holds turning tools. The workpiece that can be turned in the lathe is limited to what will fit in the head without hitting the bed. A gap bed lathe has a gap in the bed near the head, so a larger workpiece can be turned.
What are the contribution of romanesque architecture?
Romanesque Architecture is a form of medieval architecture that adapts the roman styles of construction (as in the phrase "roman"-esque), seen distinctly in its rounded arches. It developed around 6th century AD and is often compared to its descendant, Gothic Architecture. What makes it different is the lack of large penetrations in the walls (examples are taken from the medieval churches as little else constructed from that time remains standing). Most of these churches often used tapestries rather than stained glass (as in the high Gothic ages) to document and/or tell stories. The romanesque churches have a rather heavy feel to them with very solid and large wall structures with attached (rather than flying) buttresses.

What is the defintition of gothic architecture?
In terms of architecture, the Gothic style is exemplified by Gothic churches and cathedrals. These structures tend to be very ornate and quite tall, with tall spires and towers. They also typically possess Gothic, or pointed, arches. Because of the height of these structures and the resulting instability of such tall walls made only of stone, they are commonly supported on the outside walls by structural supports called flying buttresses. The overall idea is to give the structure the appearance, and in most cases the reality, of vertical height, which is meant not only to convey the importance of God, but also to point directly to heaven.
The Gothic style of architecture flourished in the high and late medieval period in Europe. It evolved from the Romanesque architectural style and was succeeded by the Renaissance style. It originated in France in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century, and the style includes the pointed arch, ribbed vault, and flying buttress.
Gothic architecture is most familiar as the architecture of many of the great cathedrals, abbeys, and parish churches of Europe. It is also the architecture of many castles, palaces, town halls, guild halls, universities, and to a less prominent extent, private dwellings.
Other common indicators of Gothic cathedrals:
1. The Rose Window (large, round stained-glass window)
2. Stylized statues (saints & holy figures have cylindrical, almost androgynous bodies)
3. Floor plan is in the shape of a cross, as in the design of St. Peter's Basilica.
4. The carved facades usually contain vertical elements in continuous repetition (the illusion of height, as stated above).

Gothic style clothing is normally all black. Sometimes they may wear colors but very light colors and their nails will more than likely be black.
The link between architectural design and climate?
Climate is link between any architectural design features including layout, window orientation, shading and ventiliation condition on indoor climate.
Climate also affect outdoor architectural design by the temperature, wind speed and humidity. These aspects then affect building's height and design.

Why did Romans maintain consistency in their architecture of temples?
The Roman's maintained consistency in their art and architecture to exhibit the wealth of their city to visitors and to the citizens alike. It showed people how lucky they were to be living in such a rich and bountiful city. When structures were built in other cities conquered by the Roman Empire, the Romans flaunted their wealth on their monuments to other citizens to show how rich the Romans were, and that they were better than the other cities. The wealth of the empire also allowed the Romans to be able to invent new materials and new structures, such as the invention of concrete and different types of structures. Before the invention of concrete, marble was the main building material for the Romans. They used it of most of their structures. This showed the how wealthy the Roman Empire was, as they would have to excavate the marble from places like Carrara - (of which Carrara Marble comes from, which is used on Trajan's Column). This was pricey and so the marble was worth a lot. It was a rich material of which was used for its strength and its beauty. To get the most out of the marble, after it was excavated it would also have to be refined and polished to look the best it could, which would have taken time and money as well. Because of the worth of it, it was only to be used on the most important of things. However, the Roman's thought most of their structures were important enough to invest on using marble on.
Difference between Islamic architecture and Muslim architecture?
Islamic architecture represents common features that are shared among Muslim societies and respond to the requirements, recommendations and restrictions emanating from Islamic religion. It does not exist as a physical model, style or type but rather a set of principles that shape social conduct and individual's behaviour of Muslim societies.
On the other hand,
Muslim architecture:Practice of Islam by Muslims (as individuals and communities) reflecting the difference of types and styles over geography and history.
Physical heritage in the Islamic world such as famous mosques, courtyard houses and various architectural styles are Muslim architecture. They have come out as an interaction between the Islamic principles, the place and the people who adopted Islam as a religion and way of life. But they don't necessarily reflect Islam.
Muslim Architecturereflects the product of Muslims both as a society and individuals at a certain time and in a given place. It could be revived as it could be outdated for nowadays needs.

Is Architecture is strictly a science concerned with physics?
While physics isn't very important to the day to day activities of an architect, engineering is most definitely integral to the building industry. Since physics is the "heart and soul" of engineering, it is by extension vital to the design and construction of modern buildings.
Modern buildings have very advanced heating and cooling, electrical circuitry, structural design of very unusually shaped buildings, material science, plumbing (fluid dynamics), and many other aspects that are designed into the building engineering.
Furthermore, physics and engineering research is what provides for the continuing advancement of technology that goes into a building. Modern day examples include technologies aimed at increasing energy efficiency - such as optic systems that sense daylight and automatically adjust the output of artificial lighting in response, photovoltaic cells, batteries for these photovoltaic cells, highly advanced electronics that integrate and optimize multiple building systems together, and cutting edge heating and cooling technologies.
At this level, physics is vital to just about every profession that exists.
a. multiagency coordiantion system
b. incident management team

How can you eliminate condensation in the bathroom?
Better insulation in the walls can help. The warm water is condensing on cold surfaces. Insuring good heating in the bathroom can also help reduce the condensation. Leaving the door open to the rest of the house can also help dissipate the moisture.
You may need to install a more powerful vent fan.
