Building a dam helps by blocking out water. Like in Canada Manitoba, the river there always floods, then overflows the city. So this summer they tried building a dam. In return, their city didn't flood, so that's the benefits of a dam.

Who completed the construction of Qutb Minar at Delhi?

The construction of Qutab Minar was started by Qutub-ud-udin Aibak in 1199 and it was completed by his son-in-law Iltutmish in 1236

Qutub-udin Aibak

Arab beduins, Turks and Mongols, the Muslims who invaded India were barbarians, nomadic, uncivilised people. They never had any buildings in their own countries which are still mainly deserts. They could not design a building like Qutub Minar or Taj Mahal.

Qutub Minar was a Hindy astronomical observatory. When the Turkish invader occupied Delhi, they destroyed more than 90 Hindu temples located in the same area along with the Asoke's steel pilar.

Uncivilized Turks did not know the significance of these; so they called it just a minar.

Why architectural drawing important for architects?

I would have never attempted to answer this question before I chose to become an architect. Funny how you sometimes think something this creative can be fun, when it's only a matter of time when you don't have time to sleep just because you are running late in completing your portfolios.

None the less; as hard as it seems, it's something that is painfully alluring and the degree of satisfaction one gets out of a beautifully created building is priceless! Anyways, coming back to the question. The "importance of architects"... It's funny how most architects are controlling our day to day mood, and our lives; and we still seem to be unaware about their importance.

It all started the day man decided to move out of his cave, and build something out of the earth to call his home. The rest is obviously history, but its funny to think that one would know everything about what he wants in his surroundings, and yet, doesn't seem to know how to put it all together in such a way that he can have them all in a space, yet not make the whole setting look claustrophobic, yet make sense out of it and have a concept behind what he did...

I thought it would be easy and creative, but heck; when I had to give a sensible reason for placing a fountain in my designs backyard garden... I was lost. A building is like a painting; but much more complicated and consuming, and one mistake leaves a dent forever, with the architects name on it

To make a building look beautiful, and yet, fully functional is a lot harder than it sounds... Not saying everyone gets it all at the end, but those who do are meant for the job. Yes it's not something that everyone has the patience or the passion for. Unless you love it, you can't do it.

This very question shows how little people know about this field, and how little people who are in this field know about whats going on on the outside. My point is, this profession consumes you; but if you can make people happy about the place they live in, and make it seem perfect; then its worth all those sleepless nights.

A contractor can build a shack, but an architect can make a home out of it. A civil engineer can give all the details he can about a block of concrete; but an architect could confuse you with his design to such an extent, that even after long hours of studying it's features, you would just be baffled. Unless, of course, you are an architecture student yourself; because you don't have an option.

If you want to know what I mean, then go through some of the works of deacon architects, like Frank O. Gehry. It's just how far your imagination can take you, but only as long as you can justify it.

Well; that, my friends, is the "importance of an architect". Always remember; an architect can replace a draftsman, a civil engineer, a contractor, a model maker, an interior designer, and a landscape artist; but none of them alone can replace an architect!

What types of columns were used to build the Parthenon?

Currently doing Classical Civilisation GCSE, not only did they have Doric style columns (characterised by their rather plain capital (that little ring thing at the top of the column) and lack of entasis/base) but they also housed Double Doric columns in the naos with it's cult statue.

I don't why but I find that so cute, they're like mini-versions of the regular Doric Columns. You should check out the Assasin's creed Parthenon and look at their columns, or some artist reconstructions as I can't really put these into words that well. Plus, I'm only at GCSE, this might not be the most informed explanation of their columns.

Feel free to correct me if need be

What is the height of a 2 story house?

There are many different styles of 2-story houses, but typically each story is about 10 feet, but could be a little less or quite a bit more. An attic above could add anywhere from 6 to 10 feet to the total height and a foundation wall or basement will usually add a few feet more. The absolute minimum, built on a slab with a flat roof and low ceilings, would be about 16 feet. Or if it were on a 3' foundation wall with high ceilings and a full attic, it could be 40 feet or more.

Suppose you were able to throw a ball in outer space would it slow down as quickly in space as it does on Earth?

No. There is no atmosphere in outer space. So there would be less resistance to slow the ball down.

Not so. There is no resistance in space, it is a vacuum. It would go on forever unless acted upon by an outside force, such as the gravitational pull of another object. Simple Newtonian physics.

How hard is architecture?

There are many things that are considered "hard" or difficult in the field of architecture. The level of difficulty is different for each person. I will try to answer your question by addressing the most difficult aspects within each stage of becoming an architect; education, licensure and professional experience.

1. Education - usually a five year program which requires an extensive study of planning, design, structure, materials and history. The most difficult aspect of this degree would be the courses in physics and calculus. If one obtains a master's degree, then the final year (thesis) is considered the most difficult.

2. Licensure - varies by state, but usually requires a minimum of three years internship/professional experience. Once all experience and education requirements have been fulfilled, a ten part exam must be completed. The fulfillment of internship requirements and the exams are all considered to be "difficult".

3. Professional Practice - it's difficult to pinpoint a single "thing" that is considered most difficult in the practice of architecture. However, on the list of the top five, I would include: clients that do not pay for services, on-site issues that alter the design, absent/uncooperative contractors, clients that expect miraculous spaces without the budget to provide for it and the constantly changing building code procedures and requirements.

What are the parts of a house and its function?

The mansion is unaccessible, except for the main entryway, the rooms off of that entryway, and the trophy garden out back. Even while using an Action Replay and the walk/run anywhere cheat, it is impossible to explore the rest of Mr. Blacklot's Mansion. A rumor that I have heard, however, states that Nintendo may have an event, where the rest of the coding for the mansion is added, and a fifth generation Pokemon will be available. That, however, is only a rumor.
