I live in a country with a rich architectural history that for the most part relates to Persia Empire (550 BC-650 AD). My father never lost a chance to remind me of this fact by taking me to all those magnificent historical buildings during our many trips to different parts of the country. There is this vivid memory sealed in my mind; the little me, stunned by all the grandeur and appeal of the fascinating Golestan Palace, with amazed eyes stared at those peerless decorations of stone carving, mirror works, fretworks, paintings and especially tile works with astonishing and beautiful forms and designs. The influential role of those past moments in shaping my interest in building industry years later is clear to me now.
Years later, I succeeded at NODET entrance exams (National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents) that allowed me to enter their national selective schools. Being in the midst of so much talent and competition was so transformational for me. Many might say a competitive environment will be stressful for students, yet I always found challenges highly inspiring for me, as I am challenging myself with applying to study abroad right now as well. As a top student, I always was the first to volunteer for extracurricular activities and especially took an interest into blossoming my teamwork spirits, which I believe, served me well in the following years at university, where I was considered a natural leader in every group project in Architecture courses.
In 2010, I had to take the nationwide university entrance exam in which I ranked 240th among more than 270,000 participants in mathematics and physics field and I also ranked 49th among more than 120,000 participants in English field. These outstanding result...

...that promotes innovation in the framework of traditional construction practices, by integrating abilities of Building Information Management models. In addition, I am interested on researching the impacts of advanced digital modelling technologies on construction management practices, since I believe in the emerging world of digital architecture; where robotic-arms and machinery replace human resources; construction management is in need of a more sensitive approach.
I find the Construction Management graduate program uniquely tailored to my interests. First and foremost I am very happy to see that X University offers rich resources of ...

As a final word, I am confident that with my Interdisciplinary background, my supportive family, my ambitious nature and your desirable program and faculty resources, I can devote myself fully to this new exciting path.
It is somewhat by accident that I find myself drawn towards the field of Construction Science. I have always enjoyed building with an incorporation of moving parts. When I was young, I started building toy cars, airplanes, dinosaurs, and everything an eight-year-old boy would imagine. It was like striking gold! I could build tracks, and cars with wheels to go on the tracks. I could even build towers with moving parts that reached the living room ceiling. Needless to say this unassuming box of used gadgets fostered a growing excitement towards construction and architecture. As my knowledge of the field grew, so did my curiosity about the assembly and preparation it takes to build useful assets like houses, hotels, even parking garages. I am pursuing a degree in Construction Science, which encompasses not only creating new spheres of urban development, but also a supporting a structure that helps a community grow. After attending Blinn College, I feel the need to expand my knowledge in the field of architecture by attending the highly credited University of Texas A&M.
Architecture is one important aspect of Byzantine culture. One of the most famous Byzantine architectural achievements is the Hagia Sophia, which is located in modern-day Istanbul. The basic design of the cathedral has a dome over a square base, which required a new innovation. At the time, it was kn...
When walking around a city, you may notice that the architecture and art look similar to other works. Many of these designs have changed along the course of history and time whilst others have not. The designs that many people still see in society and day to day living is from two of the many cultures of the old civilizations, Roman and Islamic. The art and architecture forms from the Islamic and Roman cultures have many comparisons and contrasts between them. They, the Islamic and Roman nations, have both adopted from other cultures and have made their own discoveries in the art and architecture worlds. The Roman and Islamic architecture and art vary drastically from each other and yet have varying comparisons between the two.
In the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, the general held belief is that the construction sector has not be willing to adapt to changes that comes with information technology. Nevertheless, the AEC industry has several practical applications that facilitate the technology, outsourcing and exchange of information within the industry, the roles of technology adopted are important to sustain the quality of life (QOL) to mankind [1].

I have always had a considerable interest in architecture, ever since studying Fine Arts in Tunisia. Thereafter, I have looked at it in detail through my study in the University of Tripoli (UT); where I spent five years, and gathered a huge amount of architectural knowledge. This interest would suggest that I would be well suited to the job of an architect. I have always believed that it would be a very interesting career for me which needs a lot of imagination, visualization and artistic sense.

I have completed Bsc (Hons) Construction management at the University of West London, and I would now like to further my career by studying MSC Project enterprise and management at UCL. I have made this decision after understanding that this course will enable me to develop a broad understating of construction management of large and complex projects and increase my commercial awareness of these projects. I also expect this course to be taught with both academic rigour and place consistent emphasis on practical application of what I learn to construction environment. After working in construction for industry for almost 2 years, and studying a bachelor’s degree I feel I am more than capable of completing Msc Project Entriprise with success as I have already experienced the rigors & dynamics of university education.
Technological advances are benefiting the construction business in many different ways. On-line services, estimating software, and blueprint design (CAD) are just some of the areas that have enhanced the building world. Commercial and residential contractors are suddenly seeing how computer technology can benefit their business and are now utilizing it more and more everyday.
This paper explores what it takes to be a construction manager and the responsibilities of being a construction manager and the skills that a construction manager should have. It also explores what good construction managers do to have success on their construction projects and the steps that a construction manager must follow to end a project and meet their deadlines at the same
Our architecture empire has changed dramatically over the past several decades. Architecture started with the Greek and their developing of Arch’s and domes such as the Coliseum. Since, then technology have advanced so much we have furniture and elaborate building design. We used bricks and clay material in the beginning to build buildings. We have steel, and concrete and much durable material and that’s why our building are more stable and reliable during most natural disaster. Without the advanced of technology such as materials, supplies and equipment. We used to use basic geometric now we used more advanced math and more complex building codes. In the beginning we used plans and rope to lift and move materials; now we have machine that
Looking back, I completed my primary education in VPS school, one of the best schools in my city. It is the place where my roots for career got established. Qualities like discipline and focus are inculcated in me and I completed my High School with 62.1% which was not up to the mark as I had to focus on both academics and sports during my schooling. During my high school, I performed dances during the school anniversary functions and participated in many tournaments that were held on that occasion .That was the turning point in my life when I had to resist my passion towards sports as hobby and started to concentrate on my education. During my Intermediate Education, in Narayana Junior College, I recognized that my problem solving skills, analytical skills and efficiency improved at a good pace. This was the stepping stone for me to decide to opt for computer science engineering as my career. I opted for Mathematics, physics and chemistry in my intermediate and concluded it with 79.2%. Later on, my obvious choice was to pursue my under graduation in computers, thus I opted for Computer Science and Engineering branch in B.Tech and currently am pursuing it with cgpa of 6.56. I am privileged to be chosen to pursue under graduate education at G. Pulla Reddy Engine...
The demand for Civil Engineers is rapidly growing day after day. Historically, Civil Engineering has been vital to the advancement of society. In fact, Civil Engineering is the oldest division of engineering, since it dates back at least five millenniums when "master builders" began constructing structures, such as pyramids, temples and irrigation canals. Even if Engineering has changed significantly since it was first used in a construction, the essential foundations of Civil Engineering have stayed the same over the years. Today, the problems that Civil Engineers face every day are getting more complex from day to day, but Engineers are always able to solve those difficulties with applied science and the technological innovations that surely
The construction industry is one of the most competitive environments, where only the morphing players have the ability to compete, adapt and readapt to constant international scenario changes. In 2016, the construction market had an international revenue of around 468.1 billion U.S. dollars (Statista, 2017), therefore constituting an immense challenge to assert the adequate managerial strategies approach for business to thrive.
The world is always expanding and growing. Since the beginning of time, people have relied on buildings and roads to support them in some way. Whether they are complex or simple, they are necessary in everyday life. Society’s constant need for growth is what makes civil engineering a unique career path. The world would be under-developed and it would be difficult for today’s society to function without the technology and knowledge in this industry. When researching the career of civil engineering, it is important to detail the history, skills, and education and positive and negative aspects of the profession.
