Skyscrapers are the headliners, and underground buildings are the virtually unnoticed understudies of architecture. Every day, tens of thousands of Americans use more than 450 public and commercial structures and 5,000 private homes that nestle within the earth. Major new subterranean structures are under construction or are on the drawing boards. SubsurfaceBuildings.com explores underground buildings, examines their impact on architecture and the environment, and addresses such questions as: Why would anyone want to bury a building? Are underground buildings safe How do architects feel about designing buildings that are hidden within the earth? What is the environmental impact of subterranean architecture? Dozens of SubsurfaceBuildings.com articles use photos, drawings, and descriptions to answer questions like these while showing that underground buildings are surprisingly common and appealing.

Wright, News Office September 26, 2001 Tall buildings will persist in high-density urban cores, but enthusiasm for "super-tall trophy towers" may soon wane, according to Professor William J. Mitchell, dean of the School of Architecture. Since the Sept. 11 attack on New York's World Trade Center, the vulnerability of very high towers may be another deterrent to building new ones, Mitchell said. Mitchell, author of the books "E-topia" and "City of Bits," acknowledged the symbolic power of "expensive, rare and conspicuous" structures in recent writing, including an article, "Do We Still Need Skyscrapers?" published in Scientific American. "In the 21st century, as in the time of Cheops [a king of Egypt in the 26th century B.C.], there will undoubtedly be taller and taller buildings, built at great effort and without real economic justification. The rich and powerful will still find satisfaction in traditional ways of saying they're on top of the heap," Mitchell said. Mitchell didn't dismiss skyscrapers as dinosaurs of urban design, but he noted how the digital revolution has created a "more mobile and connected workforce. When any placefrom an airport lounge to a bench under a treecan be a workplace, there is a lot less need for cubicle farms stacked up in towers."

Our musical tendency has probably been selected for its function (shared with religion and other artistic activities) of reinforcing tribal cohesion and the separation from other tribes: to encourage you to help all the people with whom you believe (subconsciously) that you share genes and kill all the others.

109. Skyscrapers, Churches, Tunnels And Homes - A Tour Of London's Architecture: Reen skyscrapers, churches, tunnels and homes a tour of London s architecture The buildings open ranged from Government buildings, skyscrapers, churches, http://www.reengage.org/go/Article_329.html

re.engage Monday, September 20 2004 Skyscrapers, churches, tunnels and homes - a tour of London's architecture by Seb Dance I should have posted this a little closer to the day, so apologies for this. This weekend gone was London Open House, a chance to go into and explore a huge array of buildings in London that are normally out of bounds to the public. The buildings open ranged from Government buildings, skyscrapers, churches, art-deco masterpieces and disused tram tunnels. I chose to go up the Gherkin (formally known as 30 St Mary Axe) which, although curiously absent from the Re.engage skyline has nonetheless become one of London’s skyline’s most recognised recent additions. At 40 odd storeys it may not be the tallest building in London, but owing to the lack of hundreds of tall buildings it does stand out, and the view is amazing. I have been to the top of neighbouring Tower 42, which is slightly taller, but the sleek design and 360 degree viewing gallery at the top of the Gherkin were simply breathtaking. It would be a real bonus being able to show clients the view in the observation champagne bar which has a glass, dome-topped ceiling over 3 storeys high! The streets of London were packed with thousands of Guardian-reading (it has to be said middle class) people all clutching their guides and meeting new people in the queues. It has to be said that I did spend four, yes four, hours waiting to ascend the new building. But to borrow a cliché it was worth the wait, but I hope next year I’ll have more time to squeeze in more than the 3 out of over 300 buildings which were open I did manage!

All the early stuff the windmills that powered flour mills in the 1700s and the forts that defined the city until 1827 has been lost. RELATED CONTENT Photo gallery: The Buildings Tricentennial guide Detroit Almanac: High points Appreciating architecture So you're visiting an architectural gem of Detroit. What should you look for? Ornamentation. Architects through much of Detroit's history liked to use stone carvings, Pewabic tiles, elaborate moldings and other devices to enliven their buildings. Often the ornament holds more interest than the rest of the building. Stop and take a look, especially in richly decorated examples like the Fisher Building or First Congregational Church near Woodward and Forest. Inspiration.

116. UNH Professor's Expertise Is The Architecture Of Skyscrapers UNH Professor s Expertise Is the architecture of skyscrapers. By Erika Mantz UNH News Bureau 603862-1567. October 23, 2001 http://www.unh.edu/news/news_releases/2001/october/em_20011023andrew.html

UNH Professor's Expertise Is the Architecture of Skyscrapers By Erika Mantz UNH News Bureau October 23, 2001 Editors and News Directors: We offer the following as a story idea you may wish to follow up on for a feature. Professor Andrew can be reached at 862-4693. DURHAM, N.H. The first skyscraper was built in Chicago in 1884 by William LeBaron Jenney. Professor David Andrew, an art historian in the University of New Hampshire's Department of Art and Art History since 1976, teaches modern architectural history and has made a particular study of skyscrapers. After the collapse of the World Trade Center towers, Andrew says, "I have no doubt skyscrapers will continue to be built. They are an investor's dream come true, but I have great reservations about the skyscraper as a building type. The terrible events of Sept. 11 reminded us how vulnerable these structures are, especially at that scale and with that kind of construction. This would probably be a good time for a review of the practicality and safety of these structures." Prior to the WTC, skyscrapers employed a steel skeletal frame with columns and girders distributed throughout the entire building. This is true of the Empire State Building, for example, which remained standing after a B-25 accidentally struck it in 1945. But the WTC, designed by Minoru Yamasaki in the mid-1960s, introduced a revolutionary new method for skyscraper construction in which the exterior walls, with their many steel-reinforced concrete columns, did most of the work. The Trade Towers were basically big hollow tubes.

From Skyscrapers to Barns and Everything in Between By Paulette Campbell Virginia's most enduring legact lies in its architecture, says Richard Guy Wilson, a professor at the University of Virginia, far more than through painting, literature, or any other traditional art form. He mentions Mount Vernon and Monticello as two of the most famous historic houses in the country, and cites Colonial Williamsburg as the touchstone for understanding life in the eighteenth century. But there are unexpected architectural treasures to be found, he says, among the county courthouses, the rural churches, the Civil War cemeteries, and even the shopping malls. They are all part of a new guidebook: Buildings of Virginia: Tidewater and Piedmont Structures both famous and obscure can be found on its pages. There is Pear Valley on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, a one-room, yeoman farmer’s cottage believed to date from 1740 with a chimney that measures ten feet across at the base. A number of churches are included, among them St. Luke’s Church in Isle of Wight County, the earliest surviving Anglican church in the state. Anglicanism had been the state’s official religion until disestablishment in 1786. Another, Christ Church in Lancaster County, dating from pre-Revolutionary Virginia, offers testimony to the power of the patron, in this case Robert “King” Carter. “In churches such as this . . . the local gentry would express their status by having their family pews raised higher than those of the lesser members of the congregation,” Wilson writes. Still another is the Third Street Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Richmond, which dates back to 1859, a reminder of the existence of a sizable free black population in the state before the Civil War.

118. Architecture & Skyscrapers There are skyscrapers of financial distict next to a district still living in past. The architecture is of excellent quality imho. http://www.sky.s64.pl/home/W/Sing/Sing_e.htm

Singapore by night January 2002 Most of the skyscrapers are located in the financial district right next to the bay but there are also many high-rises all over the city. It's due to very high land prices so it's worth building high. Even residential districts consist of 20-, 30-floors or higher buildings. Unfortunately there is a limit of 280m due to air traffic so nothing higher will be ever built in Singapore (or they change the limit). Really dunno why it's limited to 280m :0 The airport is far away from the financial district. I couldn't c any danger for higher buildings as we were approaching the airport. July 2002 This time I had more luck and the weather was very nice so the pics r much better than last time :))) I hope they will give you at least a bit of city's charm. This time I stayed at Westin Stamford (highest hotel in town) so the view was incredible (but watch out Westin isn't economic class hotel ;) February and April 2003 I have to admit that my love for this city is constantly growing :) Some ppl say it's no longer Asian but I don't care since it's the most beautiful city I've ever seen.

Monday, October 8, 2001 Article Use computer to design skyscrapers Sumesh Raizada A RCHITECTURE is perhaps among the oldest craft that mankind has known after inventing hunting tools or a wheel. We have since ages witnessed a number of civilisation and each of them had a distinct feature that distinguished them from the others. Today, one can easily differentiate Roman civilisation from the Egyptian, Chinese from the Indus valley or even within our country, say Gupta dynasty from the Mughal. The most prominent feature, which helps historians or a laymen in understanding the civilisation are its buildings, monuments and worship places, constructed during those periods. While we may not be able to see the live photographs of our ancestors who lived thousands of years ago, we can very well understand their lifestyle, culture, society or economic status, from the architecture of their times. Architecture of any nation is its priceless heritage that continues to live for thousands of years and thus reminds people of their glorified or horrified past. We have witnessed wonders like Taj Mahal, Egyptian Pyramids, Statue of Liberty, Great Wall of China, built hundreds of years ago or recent ones like Eiffel Tower, Binatone Bridge or Petronis Towers, all created by great architects. Art and science of architecture is age-old and those who are working in this field have either inherited the skills from their ancestors or have undergone learning and training courses at various architecture schools.
