What are the mediums in architecture?

Mediums of Architecture

· Wood-Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.

· Stone- is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired.

· Concrete is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with ceme3nt. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger structure, Ferro-concrete or reinforced concrete is used. It is concrete reinforced with steel.

· Steel- it is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days.9

What is the largest man made structure in the world?

In terms of volume and length it is the Great Wall of China (just over 5000 Km). In area, it is the low lying area of the Netherlands that have been reclaimed from the Sea (which means that the usable land is technically "man made"). By height, it is currently the Burj Dubai. In extension (length) it would be the internet.

Why are drawing coordinates important?

Coordinates are important as they define the start and end points of a line, thus allowing a distance and direction to be known. Coordinates can either be based off a global coordinate system such as the UTM mapping projection, our as is more common in architectural projects, a local coordinate system, where a point on our near your site serves as an origin (0,0,0) or some other arbitrary number.

What is sculpture and architecture?

Sculpture can probably be defined many ways, but in order for something to be considered architecture - it has to be habitable. To say something is habitable typically means it can be maintained at a comfortable temperature and humidity, provide lighting levels needed, can withstand the forces of nature without collapsing (to a reasonable extent), and many other issues.

A building can be described as sculptural, but sculpture isn't architecture.

What do you have to have in order to be an architect?

At least two subjects at A level or one A and two AS levels, at least five GCSEs which include English Language, Mathematics and a double award at science, or a separate science such as Physics or Chemistry.
There are three main steps in becoming an architect. First is the attainment of a professional degree in architecture. Second is work experience through an internship, and third is licensure through the passing of the Architect Registration Exam. Education and training. In most States, the professional degree in architecture must be from one of the 114 schools of architecture that have degree programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. However, State architectural registration boards set their own standards, so graduation from a non-accredited program may meet the educational requirement for licensing in a few States. Three types of professional degrees in architecture are available: a 5-year bachelor's degree, which is most common and is intended for students with no previous architectural training; a 2-year master's degree for students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related area; and a 3- or 4-year master's degree for students with a degree in another discipline. The choice of degree depends on preference and educational background. Prospective architecture students should consider the options before committing to a program. For example, although the 5-year bachelor of architecture offers the fastest route to the professional degree, courses are specialized, and if the student does not complete the program, transferring to a program in another discipline may be difficult. A typical program includes courses in architectural history and theory, building design with an emphasis on CADD, structures, technology, construction methods, professional practice, math, physical sciences, and liberal arts. Central to most architectural programs is the design studio, where students apply the skills and concepts learned in the classroom, creating drawings and three-dimensional models of their designs. Many schools of architecture also offer postprofessional degrees for those who already have a bachelor's or master's degree in architecture or other areas. Although graduate education beyond the professional degree is not required for practicing architects, it may be required for research, teaching, and certain specialties. All State architectural registration boards require architecture graduates to complete a training period-usually at least 3 years-before they may sit for the licensing exam. Every State, with the exception of Arizona, has adopted the training standards established by the Intern Development Program, a branch of the American Institute of Architects and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). These standards stipulate broad training under the supervision of a licensed architect. Most new graduates complete their training period by working as interns at architectural firms. Some States allow a portion of the training to occur in the offices of related professionals, such as engineers or general contractors. Architecture students who complete internships while still in school can count some of that time toward the 3-year training period. Interns in architectural firms may assist in the design of one part of a project, help prepare architectural documents or drawings, build models, or prepare construction drawings on CADD. Interns also may research building codes and materials or write specifications for building materials, installation criteria, the quality of finishes, and other, related details. Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia require individuals to be licensed (registered) before they may call themselves architects and contract to provide architectural services. During the time between graduation and becoming licensed, architecture school graduates generally work in the field under the supervision of a licensed architect who takes legal responsibility for all work. Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training or internship, and a passing score on all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. The examination is broken into nine divisions consisting of either multiple choice or graphical questions. The eligibility period for completion of all divisions of the exam varies by State. Most States also require some form of continuing education to maintain a license, and many others are expected to adopt mandatory continuing education. Requirements vary by State but usually involve the completion of a certain number of credits annually or biennially through workshops, formal university classes, conferences, self-study courses, or other sources. Other qualifications. Architects must be able to communicate their ideas visually to their clients. Artistic and drawing ability is helpful, but not essential, to such communication. More important are a visual orientation and the ability to understand spatial relationships. Other important qualities for anyone interested in becoming an architect are creativity and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Computer skills are also required for writing specifications, for 2- and 3- dimensional drafting using CADD programs, and for financial management. Certification and advancement.A growing number of architects voluntarily seek certification by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. Certification is awarded after independent verification of the candidate's educational transcripts, employment record, and professional references. Certification can make it easier to become licensed across States. In fact, it is the primary requirement for reciprocity of licensing among State Boards that are NCARB members. In 2007, approximately one-third of all licensed architects had this certification. After becoming licensed and gaining experience, architects take on increasingly responsible duties, eventually managing entire projects. In large firms, architects may advance to supervisory or managerial positions. Some architects become partners in established firms, while others set up their own practices. Some graduates with degrees in architecture also enter related fields, such as graphic, interior, or industrial design; urban planning; real estate development; civil engineering; and construction management.

Minimum size for master bathroom?

Depends on your personal taste! Things to consider... Bathrooms and kitchens sell houses. You probably spend more awake time in the bathroom than you do in the bedroom. A big bathroom with tall ceilings can be drafty and cold in the winter. Unheated tile floors can suck the heat out of bare feet. It's much more functional to have the master closets tied to the bath than the bedroom.

The modern overall trend is to build smaller quality built homes. The trend in master bedrooms is to build them smaller with large master closets and well appointed master baths. I like baths broken into areas that have the bath area (shower/ tub) separate from the dressing make-up area (sink, desk) Also include a toilet/ bidet room and a linen closet. Also have at least one full length window that has nothing in front of it. The natural lighting from a full length window will amaze you.

With all this said. Cut the size of the bedroom and focus on the well appointed feng shui inspired "spa" for the master bath with a huge closet.

What is the scientific word for NOT moving?

In physics,

There's no clearcut answer for this. Typically physicists speak of an objects momentum, velocity, speed, or energy when referring its motion, and likewise refer to an object as being motionless, still, or stationary for objects that aren't moving. The bold words are what I would say are the most commonly used for "moving" and "not moving".

Motion is relative, though, and so there's no concrete or scientific way to designate motion. So, scientists don't say "the box is moving" instead they say "the box is moving with respect to the wall". To someone's point of view, the box isn't moving, but instead the wall is. the scientific word is moving out lol

In zoology,

A sessile animal is one of several kinds of animals that are not able to move about, but are permanently attached to some substrate, such as a rock, a plant, or the hull of a ship.

The opposite of sessile is motile, able to move about. There are a huge number of more specific words for various ways of moving -- ambulatory, free-swimming, etc.

Where can you pee in a bathroom?

wat kind of answer is this. unless ur mentally chanllenged. anywhere with the sign 'bathroom' on it. cept for stores or grocery store wat kind of answer is this. unless ur mentally chanllenged. anywhere with the sign 'bathroom' on it. cept for stores or grocery store Well here are some of the many answers: Typically, most houses use a tool called a toilet. This tool is where a human can dispose of waste such as urine. However, since most houses are differently built differently because a lot are built custom, there is no specific place to find a bathroom. Schools also have bathrooms, usually having one for boys, one for girls, and sometimes some for women. Unlike home bathrooms where there is a single utility (a more technical term for bathroom), they are segregated, each also contains more toilets for the more number of people who will use the bathroom. Of course, malls have bathrooms too. Most malls that are quite sized have a directory. There, directory’s show you were certain stores are or where the restrooms are (another name for bathroom). There is a thousand places you could find a bathroom, but for now, I will give three more common places.
