Bahrainguide · Architecture - Page 1 Due to Bahrain s long history, local architecture has had many influences And just like in any other hot country all the buildings were white to reflect http://www.bahrainguide.org/BG1/architecture.html
Extractions: The Siyadi House, home of a 19th century pearl merchant, is an excellent example of the best architecture from that period By Mika Michael Mika Michael'); //> For architects, Bahrain offers a truly unique experience. Here you can see the works of the most famous architects in the world, projects where only the sky has been the limit - not the thickness of the client's wallet. We remember the first time we arrived in the Gulf. "This must be the architect's paradise," we thought. Buildings you couldn't imagine even in your wildest dreams - and then some straight from the wildest nightmares, but which country is without those! What makes Bahrain unique for us is also its people, who unlike most other parts of the Gulf are extremely warm, welcoming you into their homes and allowing you to take in aspects of life in the Middle East you would not otherwise have experienced. It is as easy to approach a shaikh (member of the Ruling Family) as it is to strike up a conversation with a taxi driver, and it is this kind of friendliness that makes visiting Bahrain especially appealing. Being able to visit Bahraini homes also helped us observe close up the finer architectural points of a country which boasts a rich cultural heritage, a strong unique character and a history dating back almost to the very beginning of time.

We will explore what this massive construction activity takes from a technology standpoint in this AECbytes feature article. Overview of the DLF Group The DLF Group is one of the oldest construction companies of India, dating back to 1947. It started as a family business, and continues to be so to this day: it is a closely held public limited company where 99% of the shares are owned by the family. It is currently headed by one of the family members, Rajiv Singh, who serves as the Vice Chairman. In the early years of the company, it was based in India's capital city, Delhi, where it catered to the huge influx of people that resulted in the doubling of the city's population almost overnight. Anticipating the growing need for quality housing of an expanding market, DLF developed close to 21 urban townships in Delhi. Today, these townships house nearly a million people. In the 1990's, DLF shifted the focus of its development to a suburb called
Understanding Sthapatya Ved As time passes other systems of architecture become obsolete. This is becauseVastu also means town, country, Earth and all of creation. http://www.greenbuilder.com/general/articles/Sthapatya1.html
Extractions: Deepak Bakshi . All rights are reserved. All people are influenced by the buildings in which they reside, work and worship. According to the design of the structure, one will feel either comfort or discomfort. In correctly designed structures, one experiences a subtle sense of well-being and contentment. In improperly designed structures, one feels anxious, stressful and despondent. A well designed structure will produce a sense of bliss and calmness while poorly designed structure will produce sickness and depression. The ancient science of Sthapatya Ved provides extensive knowledge about life supporting building and design principles. A Sthapatya Ved designed home will promote harmony between parents and children, better physical health, and more financial success. However a carelessly designed home or building which out of harmony with the laws of nature will have the opposite effect- promoting family disputes, health problems, and financial difficulties. Unfortunately, the ancient science of Sthapatya Ved is not widely practiced.

At that time, Herzog and de Meuron were presented with a $100,000 grant and each received a bronze medallion. They are the first Swiss to become Pritzker Laureates, and the 24th and 25th honorees since the prize was established in 1979. The only other year that the jury selected two architects to share the prize was 1988 when the late Gordon Bunshaft of the United States and Oscar Niemeyer of Brazil were chosen. The selection of Herzog and de Meuron continues what has become a nine-year trend of laureates from the international community.

Housing And Architecture - Indian Country Wisconsin Housing and architecture. Navigate this page Wigwam Summer House The otherimportant dwelling was the summer house, a rectangular structure of peeled http://www.mpm.edu/wirp/ICW-30.html
Extractions: Great Lakes Indian tribes depended on the forests for raw materials for their homes and they built a variety of dwellings depending on the season. The most common was the dome-shaped wigwam, which served from late fall through spring. With the exception of the Iroquois, all Woodland tribes from New England to the Mississippi River built this style of structure. The general living pattern of Great Lakes Indians consisted of residence in a wigwam for a six-month period during the late fall, winter, and early spring, while the other six months were spent in the summer house, sometimes a considerable distance from the wigwam. When it was time to shift from one house to another, they merely removed the mats from the first house and placed them on the other. The framework of the abandoned house was left standing, to be used at the next semiannual shift. The floor pattern was circular or more commonly oval. Saplings of an inch or more in diameter were cut and sharpened at the large end. Beginning at the doorway, these were set into the ground vertically and spaced about two feet apart. One pole and its opposite were bent toward the center to form an arch, and the ends were tied together with basswood-bark strips or other cordage. When all the vertical poles were tied, other saplings were tied on horizontally, to brace the frame and provide attachments for the bark or mat covering. More saplings were added to the top portion to form a sturdy framework. Then, beginning at the doorway, a mat was unrolled along the base, and its upper edge tied to the first horizontal pole. Other mats were added to cover the circumference of the framework. Inner layers of mats and grass were added inside for warmth and insulation. Raised platforms built inside the wigwam created beds and storage spaces and were covered with mats and furs .

Architectural Advice Books: Other Writers Calvert Vaux, an English architect recruited by A. J. Downing as a junior partner, ranked Downing's obvious successor. Through Villas and Cottages , Vaux exhibited an amazing familiarity with the tangled issues of home design and cultural identity that consumed some Americans. Unlike Downing, who often published designs by a variety of working architects, the plans Vaux chose for Villas and Cottages were his own. Vaux is best known for his partnership with Frederick Law Olmsted in the creation of Central Park, but the content of Villas and Cottages accords him lasting status as an architectural and social critic.
From Weaver To Web - Calderdale Architecture To a great extent the style of architecture in Calderdale has followed the general a house was still an erection of timber, in many parts of the country http://www.calderdale.gov.uk/wtw/sources/themes/architecture.html
Extractions: Please note that external links open in a new browser window. Although Yorkshire was no more than a province the varied evidence of changing life-styles throughout these periods was clear to be seen, although to some extent Calderdale was more an area of Roman roads and wayside camps than of villas and full-scale forts, and the Norman occupation too, in this northern district, brought fewer changes than in the south. For the ordinary person a house was still an erection of timber, in many parts of the country roofed with straw or the more intricately woven thatch, although in Yorkshire the method of covering a roof with stone and later with slate was soon to be adopted. Indeed the thatched roof was a refinement which failed to find widespread favour in the north, unlike many southern parts of the country where this type of housing became popular and is still to be seen in many towns and villages today. In the Middle Ages stone was a material reserved almost entirely for the building of churches and abbeys and its use in domestic architecture was to come much later. It was common practice in Calderdale, as in many other places, to strengthen old timber buildings and render them more weather-proof by encasing the original timber and plaster structure in an outer covering of stone; it was considerably later that new houses were to be built entirely from this local product at the outset. The stone was quarried locally and in addition to its use in constructing houses and other buildings in this area it was conveyed to other parts of the country and later to other parts of the world.

Numerous early examples of this form of dwelling have been found in remains of Roman and medieval cities and in the 17th-cent. Pueblo villages of North America. Its most important development came with the Industrial Revolution. After 1850 crowded slums began to develop in the cities of Europe and the United States. Few good, low-cost multiple dwellings were built before World War I, but great progress was made in the development of more luxurious apartment buildings, particularly in Paris and Vienna. In the 1880s fireproof steel-frame construction, the improvement of the elevator, and the introduction of electric lighting made possible the rapid evolution of the apartment building. In 1901 New York City put into effect a tenement-house law; its purpose was to protect occupants against fire hazards and unsanitary and unsafe conditions. Between 1919 and 1934 there appeared in Europe many commendable low-cost housing developments. Important examples are projects by
