INTRODUCTION A courtyard is a common design feature, which has been applied for thousands of years in many parts of the world particularly in houses. Courtyard used in basic as a gathering place for house users and for daily purposes. It is one of the traditional architectural forms that contributed in determining climatic environment, physical and psychological in the courtyard house. It has existed for thousands of years in our country and can be traced back to the Indus valley civilization. Traditionally used as a central space between houses/rooms owned by individual families, courtyards served as the focal point of a settlement and strengthened interior relationships while keeping the outside separate; it also served as a protective barrier against the climate, enemies, animals and so encouraged social interactions and became an important interface for all communal activities. As one of the most primeval typology in architecture, courtyards have been seen in all types of buildings, be it commercial, residential, institutional, recreational or industrial; however, they have been most prominent in residential dwellings. They serve as source of air flow, illumination and provide thermal comfort to a residence by acting as a heat radiator in summers and absorber …show more content…
How well do these courts actually function? Do they serve the purpose(s) they were designed for? To date, the general tendency has been to study the built spaces, facade treatments, orientations, styles, internal efficiencies and structure of most buildings. There is lack of literature on how a court work on psyche of the user. How is a court in a residential area different from one in an institutional area? It is different because it serves a different purpose(s). In an institutional buildings, it would be used for light and ventilation, as a transition space, as a focus or maybe even a parking
No matter which city you go to, the courthouses are always located in a location where it is hard for people to transport there. Courthouses are placed in places where there are not many residential places and where it is often hard for people to have access to get there. For example, the Ottawa courthouse is located downtown. If you live in the west side of Ottawa and you are traveling to the courthouse by bus, the trip may take about an hour or two to arrive at the location because of the distance. In conclusion, courts are easier to have access to when they are located in smaller cities rather than larger
Municipal courts have limited jurisdiction over violations of city ordinances, the issuance of criminal warrants, and traffic violations within city limits. Municipal courts also conduct preliminary hearings. There are 370 municipal courts that are funded by the city or town in which they preside. 350 judges oversee the courts and they are either appointed or elected.
Built between 1550 and 1570, the Villa Rontonda, a Renaissance villa in Northern Italy, offered a new formula for the ideal Italian villa. The name “Rotunda” refers to the villa's circle within a square design. Palladio carefully used calculated mathematical equations to perfect the symmetry of the villa. Located on a hill, the Villa Rotonda features a centralized plan including four identical facades each with a projecting porch arranged symmetrically around a central round dome. Drawing from classical influences, each portico resembles an ionic temple front and each portico has a pediment adorned with statues. In fusing the temple porch onto a centrally planned dome covered building, Palladio clearly had the Pantheon in mind when designing the villa. Turning to antiquity, Palladio modeled his villa from Roman precedent, using distinctive elements to make his design innovative and contemporary. Like the aforementioned architects, though Palladio relied on classical ideals of symmetry and proportion, his ingenious design of the Villa Rontonda that allowed the landscape to be seen from all four sides of the villa was completely innovative at the time. Likewise, the Villa Rontonda differs from other buildings built at the time with centralistic plan and dome design. Additionally, Palladio introduced an innovation by combining a classic temple with a façade of a house. Traditionally, temple fronts were reserved for churches and public buildings, yet Palladio incorporates religious overtones into an otherwise secular space through adorning the villa with the temple façade. By designing a completely symmetrical building and using through the elegant use of circles and squares, Palladio created a sophisticated construction that emphasized balance and uniformity. Though seemingly simple from the exterior, the Villa
What do drug courts offer, that jails do not? Drug courts help spawn savings for our justice system, they help diminish recidivism, but most importantly, it helps substance abuse offenders reintegrate back into the community.

Proverbs 21:15 New Living Translation (NLT) states, “Justice is a joy to the godly, but it terrifies evildoers.” With that being said, there are “94 district courts, 13 circuit courts, and one Supreme Court throughout the country.” The court systems are not in place to be abused by the representative nor those that are looking for assistance. The court systems exist to provide justice for all.

To get an actual feel of the court, a visit to any of the High Courts or the Supreme Court may be worthwhile.
Problem solving courts can affect the entire judicial system by weeding out cases that can go to a drug court, traffic court, or whichever
The next component of the criminal justice system is the court. These courts are ran by judges that make sure the law is followed and oversees what happens in the courtroom. The courts are put in place so that the judges can decide whether to release offenders before the trial, except or reject plea agreements, or sentence convicted offenders (Hoffmann, 2011). The courts provide a set of guidelines that are used to resolve disputes and to test and enforce laws in a fair and rational
The courts have the function of giving the public a chance to present themselves whether to prosecute or defend themselves if any disputes against them rise. It is known to everyone that a court is a place where disputes can be settled while using the right and proper procedures. In the Criminal court is the luxury of going through a tedious process of breaking a law. Once you have been arrested and have to go to court because of the arrest, you now have a criminal case appointed against you. The court is also the place where a just, fair and unbiased trial can be heard so that it would not cause any disadvantage to either of the party involved in the dispute. The parties are given a chance to represent themselves or to choose to have a legal representative, which is mostly preferred by many.
Although this extremely close connection of the individual with nature, the basic principle of Japanese gardens, has remained the constant throughout its history, the ways in which this principle has come to be expressed has undergone many great changes. Perhaps the most notable occurred in the very distinct periods in Japanese history that popularized unique forms of garden style—Heian (781-1185), and the Kamakura (1186-1393). Resulting from these two golden ages of Japanese history came the stroll garden from the former period and the Zen garden from the latter. As we shall see, the composition of these gardens was remarkably effected by the norms of architecture and the ideals of popular religion in these eras. Therefore, in understanding each garden style in its context, it is essential to also take into account the social, historical, and theological elements as well as the main stylistic differences.
In conclusion, the courtroom is a very good place to learn and understand the practical side of the law than the theoretical part. This is because a person gets first hand information, and the counsels and the crown prosecutor brings out various facts that are supported by statutes and precedents. Additionally, one gets to see how justice is administered and whether what people say about the justice system is true or false. Therefore, by visiting the courtroom, I have to understand that the administration of justice is fair.

During the 10th to 12th centuries known as the Heian era, Japan was breaking away from the styles of the Chinese T'ang Dynasty. New ideas were developing as the Imperial court converted what it had learned. In the area of garden design, however, Chinese thought was still a powerful force. Most of the aesthetic principles we see as Japanese had not yet developed. The dominant architectural style, called Shinden, was essentially a modification of Chinese design. Buildings were arranged somewhat symmetrically and according to the laws of Chinese geomancy called Feng shui. Within the mansions, a central building, the shinden (sleeping hall) would be linked to other outlying buildings by covered causeways. Beyond the tile roofs and verandas was the gar...
