First.... he was one of 3 designers of the reconstruction of the Clock Tower that houses Big Ben (The largest of the bells in the clock tower) and the Palace of Westminster after the fire of 1834. He made working drawings for Charles barry to design with. His part was help with detailings, fittings and furniture. I believe his inspiration came from Charles Barry woh won the job from open competition. Pugin cared little for the gothic styles but worked under Charles barry to get the reconstruction completed. answer: Charles Barry and his restoration project inspired him, not his taste but Pugin simply did his work as a job. I say motivation more than inspiration. Skunkfarmer

Mainly for transportaion/commuting. The downsize is when the river swells. A town near where I live had two (2) bridges to access it here in Arizona. They both were washed away during monsoon and the town was officially declared an "island" for a short while.

Dubai's potable (drinking) water is obtained from desalination; the process is: They take the sea water, boil it and let the steam cool. The condensed water is then filtered and treated to make if fit for human consumption, washing and industrial use.

The byproduct is concentrated brine (salt) water which is then pumped back into the Gulf.

In actual fact the water is used first in the Dubai Aluminium (Jebel Ali) works before final cleaning at the DEWA (Jebel Ali) plant. This way they are able to utilise the water first to cool the aluminum smelters before it is cleaned for further domestic/ commercial consumption.

All dookie water (bath, toilet etc.) from houses and industry is collected by a fleet of waste water truck as Dubai does not have a sewer system. This is taken to the processing plant in Al Awir where the solids are removed (and safely processed), the water component is then treated and utilised as grey/ non-potable water - this is piped out to the Dubai Municipality and utilised to water the green municipal areas of Dubai including the road verges and numerous parks.

German houses are typically made using white plaster or stucco. The windows open from the inside out like a door. Older houses use a cross-timbered or fachwerk style where wooden beams form an X on the sides of the building. There are normally gates which open up into the yard and lead to the door. There is also generally an entry hall so that residents and guests can change into house shoes before walking inside. There are generally no closets attached to the walls but armoirs and wardrobes are used instead.
