Finally, any ethical issues involving future actions and decisions…
relationship that exists between materials used in building Physics is a vital field that touches on different aspects of life. This means that with it, people can analyze and seek reasons to various things that happen in the surrounding. There is an excellent relationship between the structure of a building, materials used and damage that can be done in case of an earthquake (Harirchian et al., 2020). Earthquakes are common, and it is only through having a well thought out buildings that the problem can be addressed. Therefore, contractors and architects should always be keen on various projects that they undertake to ensure that they take into account multiple epidemics that may arise. Buildings that considers various architectural dimensions and policies bring forth magnificent building that can withstand multiple unanticipated perils. Lumber is critical in coming up with these buildings. It refers to the type of wood that is usually processed in blanks and beams during the process of producing wood (Chopra & McKenna, 2016). To empathize more on this subject matter, I will look at the relationship that…
The Screen Theory Introduction The screen theory is developed diagrammatically to enable free interpretation of the meaning of numerous sections. Ideally, a diagram can elaborately be specific, not rigid on the interpretation and application. The main aim is not to come up with a theory of every item that tries to build a common area of presuppositions. Instead, it should be ideal for establishing a working space that allows intercomparison to a larger scale (Constable, 487). Analogy, systems of substitution, and comparison are regarded as the most useful. However, the demand for a more structural design that is specific in nature fore open flow of strategies and topics in different limits of culture, historical periods, and media. Three main ideas can, therefore, help in the interpretation of Carol. These central ideas from semiotics that explains the connection metonymy and metaphor to allow generation of new meanings from the preceding sections. Secondly, the notion from film criticism the “future” and the idea from popular culture theory that explains the objects being invested through shifts in the point of view symbolically. The…

RESEARCH ETHICS Potential Risks The participation in the study is generally safe because the individuals will not be forced to provide personal details unless they want to. The study will be conducted during the day to avoid inconveniences that might occur when criminals pretend to be part of the team and rob respondents (Cook, 2016). Besides, the team members will provide official identification details before administering the methods of collecting information. However, there is the risk of getting personal information exposed to the public if the respondent uses their official name on the questionnaire. This can be intimidating, but the risk will be minimized by handling the data carefully and encouraging respondents to avoid using their real names (Cook, 2016). It is advisable to use codes instead of names. Obtaining Informed Consent The consent will be obtained from different respondents by first explaining to them the main agendas of the study. The respondents will be made to understand the purpose, the length of the activity, the safety of the collected data, and the advantages they can gain from taking part…
Transport and Urban Development in the USA Constant developmental changes have been occurring in the USA since the 1950s and the 1960s. Significant cities and roads have been constructed. Various road projects have been implemented, while others have been opposed. This study explicitly focuses on the development of Boston, Massachusetts. Inner Belt Crisis and alternative Project The inner belt highway was a planned road that would have stretch six lanes and would have provided limited access of the highway services to the citizens of Boston. However, it was just a plan which was never implemented. This was due to various crises that occurred, which are commonly referred to as the “inner belt Crisis.” Various issues prevented the actualization of the plan. Business owners were not keen to relocate their businesses due to having identified with the area, there was noise which would mean building the high highway would cause even more noise levels, many residents of the communities opposed the plan as they thought the having the highway cut through their community would fragment their society and most residents would…
The Basics of Wall Framing Wall framing is a conventional construction aspect that involves the addition of frames on the walls. The primary aim of adding wall frames is to increase the strength of the building. Buildings that have the wall frames tend to last for long since they rarely get the effects of extreme weather changes. Architects and professional roofers use many types of frame materials. Timber, however, is the popular material in Australia. Wood is a readily available material; it is affordable and has excellent versatility features. Timber is also naturally beautiful, meaning that its frames provide a valuable addition to the aesthetics of the house. Benefits of wall framing Wall frames increase the strength and stability of the structure. The frames enhance the resistance of the building to vibrations and other external factors that could damage it. Wall framing makes planning easier. The frames offer a clear idea of how the outcome will look like, thus allowing the owner to make the necessary changes before creating a permanent structure. Wall framing facilitates the construction process and…
Leadership in Architectural and Engineering Design Offices As we use our own individual imagination to design and construct new building projects, we are sometimes forced to cope with many different viewpoints, and our imperfections are often being judged by others. When a large number of people are working on a project, a high level of successful teamwork is required, and leadership is a key component to keep the team happy, motivated and thriving as one complete unit. All architect firms need an architectural design team leader or, depending on size, various team managers, project managers and engineers, while the owner of the office (CEO) is the formal leader of the entire organisation. Effective leadership is much more than developing an appropriate vision for the company, motivating people to follow that vision is critical. The right skills of a leader and a supportive work environment are key factors to keep the momentum going. Destructive leadership style can have devastating consequences for a company, not only for the financial stability and reputation but also for the motivation of employees and the confidence…
Winter Break Housing Advocacy Every day, many students struggle to find a place to sleep. Imagine attending lectures without having enough sleep and completing your daily lecturers without knowing where you will lay your head to sleep. We have students who have dreams to achieve, but they fail to meet the goals because of the challenges they face. We recognize the new partnership between San Jose State University and Airbnb to address the issue of many students lacking a place to reside. It is a remarkable milestone because most of us will have a chance to get a place to call home. We will sleep, not worrying about where we will sleep the next day. Many students qualify for the new project that aims to address the issue of homeliness, but they feel that the university has not made sure that they reach out to assist the students. They feel neglected in their university. They hope that the university may come up with ways in which they can reach out to students who don’t have homes and assist them. My…
Resilient recommendation plan Introduction Currently, we in a society that has been considered to be very challenging. There is a very heightened sense of uncertainty and constant reminders of the unpredictability of what might happen anytime. There are unpredictable events that may occur at any time, which include climate events, terrorist attacks, youth riots, the credit crunch, and mass redundancies. For most of the planners in South Melbourne beach, Australia, there is a full sense of unease that has been occasioned by rising levels of seawater that has proved that it can be a disaster to the installments that are found to beach adjustments to the sea line. Among the suggested solutions that have been advised that can be useful in dealing with situations of sea-level rise in the South Melbourne beach is resilience It appears that resilience is replacing sustainability in everyday discourses in much the same way as the environment has been subsumed in the hegemonic imperatives of climate change (Davoudi, 2012).In that, all activities that have been carried out in the name of building up a resilient…
