These places may be private or public; indoors or outdoors; or rooms, buildings, or complexes; and together, they make up neighborhoods, towns, suburbs, and cities. Architects Architects design the overall aesthetic and look of buildings and other structures, but the design of a building involves far more than its appearance. Buildings also must be functional, safe, and economical and must suit the needs of the people who use them. Architects consider all these factors when they design buildings and other structures.

Extractions: Geraldton Mine Project Technical constraints were key to the final form of the earthwork. The different types and sizes of earth moving equipment and their turning radii provided guidelines for the grading plan. A primary objective in the project is to balance cut and fill, and to maintain a maximum total earth moving of 150,000 cubic meters. Cut is kept to a minimum as arsenic levels are higher toward the bottom of the pile. There is a cap at the bottom of the pile of tailings, and there is a maximum of an additional 5 meters that can occur on top. Standing water has been considered as a design element, but the water table has been respected by the regrading. Storm drainage is maintained and the proposed earthwork will not impede sight lines for traffic safety. Six to twelve inches of peat topsoil will be added to disturbed areas to aid in revegetation. A planting plan for the project focuses primarily on native grasses, especially those golden in color. The soil can support plants, although plants will not be watered. The master plan also details tree plantings along Highway 11.

Extractions: For persons with disabilities, this document is available in large print, Braille, audio tape, and computer disk. Reproduction of this document is encouraged. This guide provides an overview of Federal civil rights laws that ensure equal opportunity for people with disabilities. To find out more about how these laws may apply to you, contact the agencies and organizations listed below. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) The ADA prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in employment, State and local government, public accommodations, commercial facilities, transportation, and telecommunications. It also applies to the United States Congress. To be protected by the ADA, one must have a disability or have a relationship or association with an individual with a disability. An individual with a disability is defined by the ADA as a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a person who has a history or record of such an impairment, or a person who is perceived by others as having such an impairment. The ADA does not specifically name all of the impairments that are covered. ADA Title I: Employment Title I requires employers with 15 or more employees to provide qualified individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. For example, it prohibits discrimination in recruitment, hiring, promotions, training, pay, social activities, and other privileges of employment. It restricts questions that can be asked about an applicant's disability before a job offer is made, and it requires that employers make reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of otherwise qualified individuals with disabilities, unless it results in undue hardship. Religious entities with 15 or more employees are covered under title I.

2Bangkok.com - The Suvanabhumi Airport The Netherlands airport Consultants BV and Louis Berger (us) completed their This design immediately attracted criticism from architectural circles in http://www.angkor.com/2bangkok/2bangkok/sbia/history.shtml
Extractions: Bangkok's long delayed second international airport is frequently cited as a classic example of Thailand's poor track record of economic planning and management for large infrastructure projects. The second airport project has been bogged down for the past three decades particularly as a result of endless political inference. The project's completion has passed through two initial deadlines, the first in 1990 and the second in 2000. Previous governments have already invested considerable resources to expand the existing Don Muang Airport to cope with growing traffic volume. Don Muang has already reached its full capacity at 30 million passengers per annum. What is at stake is not just another high profile infrastructure project, but Thailand's chance of becoming the aviation hub for South East Asia. Conceived in the 1960s The New Bangkok International Airport or Suvanabhumi Airport as it is now known, has been in planning since 1960 when the government of the day commissioned a master plan for the 1990 Bangkok Metropolis. The airport's site, Nong Ngu Hao - which translates as Cobra Swamp - is well situated about 30 kilometers east of Bangkok in Samut Prakan province. The government finalized the purchase of this boggy 3,100 hectare site in 1973. The project looked set to take off but came one day short of being approved in 1973 when a popular student uprising succeeded in overthrowing the government and the project has been shelved indefinitely.
Extractions: Home With the increasing attention being devoted to historic preservation in recent years, architectural records have taken on greater importance. Less than two decades ago, no more than a handful of repositories were actively collecting and preserving these documents. Today, it is difficult to find a state in which a repository of architectural records does not exist. The Northwest Architectural Archives was begun in 1970. The archives collects the records of architects, engineers, contractors, landscape architects, and interior designers from a region which includes Minnesota, western Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and the eastern Dakotas. Every type of document generated by these individuals and firms is collected: drawings of all kinds, specifications, job files, and photographs are chiefly sought. The collections span nearly 130 years of work by many notable practitioners.

Architecture In China architecture in China will class replace class? They said, Give us ideasfor a place like nowhere else in the world. He nods happily. http://www.gluckman.com/ShanghaiArchGeo.html
Extractions: Flash city The world's most renowned architects are flocking to Shanghai, where they are building the world's biggest skyscrapers and hotels, futuristic model towns, theme cities and numerous other never-seen-before projects. All the innovative puts this Chinese city in the vanguard for style, ambition and experimentation. Once again. By Ron Gluckman /Shanghai "I T'S GIGANTIC, LIKE A BIG THRILL," says Johannes Dell, hands twisting as if trying to wring the right adjectives from the air. Silently reflective for a few seconds, he finally adds: "It's like paragliding, which I do. It's that same feeling, like jumping off a cliff." Dell, from Frankfurt, isn't describing an action sport, but his occupation, surprising since he is an architect, stereotypically a straight-laced field defined by sharp lines and well-tested designs. Perhaps elsewhere, but Dell sits in his office in Shanghai, 22 floors high, affording dazzling views of a cityscape crackling with energy. In every direction, enormous cranes flank forests of fast-rising skyscrapers, while swarms of cars zip on spaghetti strands of spanking-new elevated motorways encircling them.
Extractions: "If the power of architecture is to imagine, create and transform, then its form should inspire," said Anita Bizzotto, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, U.S. Postal Service, who dedicated the stamps. "It should elevate the things of everyday life- from commerce, to learning, to living- into the realm of the extraordinary. And Masterpieces of Modern American Architecture celebrated on these postage stamps do just that." Joining Bizzotto at the ceremony from the Postal Service were Al Iniguez, Vice President, Pacific Area Operations, and Dr. Douglas Lewis, Chairman, Postmaster General's Citizens' Stamp Advisory Committee. From the American Institute of Architects were Norman L. Koonce, Chief Executive Officer; Douglas L. Steidl, President; and Kate L. Schwennsen, First Vice President.
