Having clear windows at home gives you a spectacular view of the outdoors while enjoying the safety and comfort of your haven. If you have a beautiful flower garden outside of your doorstep, you’ll be able to see this every morning when you get out of bed. If your kids love playing on the front yard, you can sneak a peek through your window while inside the house. While you enjoy all these, there are also downsides for having clear and untinted windows at home. You’ll feel the heat of the sun directly
Seeing all the new car models that are available for 2017, I ‘m starting to have new car envy. There are self-parking cars that even alert the driver of dangers on the road. The ability to starting and heating the car with a push of a button, would be great on a cold day. Comfortable seats and a powerful energy saving engine could make any trip a wonderful experience. But I still think my first car, a 1969 Volkswagen Bug, is the best car I ever owned. The exterior of my 69 Bug is almost in mint condition
Richard Neutra preferring his own term of concept “biorealism,” there was further distanced his mature work with his previous mentor, Frank Lloyd Wright. “Biorealism” is combination of “bios” and “realism”. “Bios” or life means biology and psychology, where “realism” means basic realities of existence.

The Best Year for the Classic Pontiac GTO See the Differences Between the 1966 and 1967 GTO Of course, picking a favorite year for the GTO boils down to a personal preference. However, if someone asked me what the best year for the classic Pontiac GTO is I have no problem voicing my opinion. [The Pontiac Motor Division] of General Motors built the first generation cars from 1964 through 1967. Like many classic Pontiac car collectors I find these cars the most interesting.

2.1 Introduction As new demands for comfort emerged in buildings during the 1970's, adaptation concepts became more prevalent. The term adaptation is mentioned in architecture to describe the process performed by systems in which specific properties of a building are changed within a specific time frame in order to manage changing environmental conditions or occupant's demands. The environment is in a constant flux over time and space, thus there is a need to accommodate and manage the environmental
1. The Grand Arbor Pergola Design This magnificent freestanding pergola with a canopy is ideal for large lawns or backyards. It serves two functions - a shade for you and a place for your climbing plants to thrive. What distinguishes it from other pergolas out there is the retractable canopy that you can fold up easily when you don't need it. To built this beautiful cedar pergola, you need a circular saw if you are using 1-1/2" thick lumber or 12"miter saw for thicker wood. Link: canadianhomeworkshop
nothing "normal" about the assignment of a social item as a "curio" or a 'fine art', as living or dead. The refinement is a generally freighted, always debatable move. In Paris, for instance, pre-Columbian figures have moved again and again: from the Louver and the Musée Guimet in the ahead of schedule to-mid-nineteenth Century, where they were displayed as ancient pieces; to the ethnographic Trocadéro in the late nineteenth Century, where style were unimportant; and now to the Musée du Quai Branly,
The Corvette From Beginning To Future The corvette was first introduced in January 1953. To experiment with the car, they only made 300 cars, which were all made by hand and powered by a 235-cubic-inch 6-cylinder engine. The corvette was designed to show the world that General Motors could make a sports car that was a stylish two seater. All 1953 corvettes were polo white with red interiors. The engine of the car generated 150 horsepower and had a 2-speed power glide automatic transmission. Researchers
The refrigeration cycle is the basis for the functioning of temperature control equipment such as the air conditioner, air-cooled and water-cooled chillers. The cooling tower is used in conjunction with a water cooled chiller. Working of conventional air conditioners: 1. The first step involves movement of the low pressure vapour of the refrigerant through the compressor coming out as high pressure and high temperature super-heated vapour. 2. This vapour then passes through condenser and gets converted
Sean Godsell’s career as an architect has been inspired by his interest in Asian architecture and it’s geographical immediacy to Australia, in particular the use of spatial devices within a structure. He talks of 'the connected plan', an interior that can be divided, traversed, or opened up at will. (INTEXT REF) This topic discussed in detail throughout the essay. When studying both localized and regionalist approaches to design it is clear that Godsell has taken on board all areas of this topic
these obstacles placed in his path and emerged on the international scene attracting collectors from around the world to his studio seeking his works. Rodin's youth was spent drawing and sculpting at an early age. He spent much of his time at the Louver where he met Antoine Louis Barye. After his three refusals of admission to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts the eighteen-year-old Rodin worked as a craftsman and jewelry maker as well as at other odd jobs. His beloved sister died in 1862, which shook Rodin
Throughout the world, farmers are turning to greenhouses to protect and improve their crops. Greenhouses are used by growers to extend the growing season and to protect plants from the elements. However, growers must closely regulate the climate of their greenhouses to support the plants that are inside. Understanding how a greenhouse functions is vital to choosing proper heat regulating techniques in a greenhouse. In order to understand how to regulate a greenhouse one must understand how a
Camaro The name “Camaro” came from a French word for friend. The decision on the name came down to the last minute, with most of the world sure the car would be named, “The Panther.” Although the strange name had to be explained to the public, Camaro fit in with other Chevy names- Corvette, Chevelle, Chevy 2, and Corvair. The main reason the Camaro was introduced was because of the huge success of the Ford Mustang. The Camaro was roughly the same size as the Mustang, a little wider and based

Mary Mitson Laurie Olson-Horswill English 216 10-23-2017 The Winged Victory of Samothrace In the 19th century, an amateur archaeologist named Charles Champoiseau came across one part of a sanctuary that was hidden under ruble, while on that day he did not find the sanctuary; he did find a niche on the mountainside. In this niche was something that would create frenzy with archeologists everywhere. In this niche, Charles found a timeless tribute to the goddess Nike; it was a Sculpture by the name
Recently I had a jarring experience that left me utterly dumfounded. It did more than that for it left me somewhat perplexed at the ambivalent attitude we have towards some aspects of God's dealing with us, especially here as it relates to healing. Let me explain. I was sitting in my lounge in a comfortable, well padded, and to be honest my favourite settee reading a book. I was enormously at peace for I love reading and the atmosphere was most congenial. Next door on my left my neighbour's children
How does the role of natural light play a huge part on the human health, mood and behavior of humans? Has natural lighting always had a huge impact on these attributes? If that is the case, why is that natural lighting not considered as a principal factor in every design now? Has artificial lighting put natural lighting on the back foot in every design ? These are some of the questions this paper addresses and tries to understand
Italian Architect Renzo Piano, was born on September 14th, 1937 in Genoa Italy to a family of builders. His father, Carlo Piano, owned a successful construction company that built houses and factories. Growing up Renzo’s father would take him to the construction sites, so Renzo spent his childhood on the site with his father. When you grow up in this kind of atmosphere you start to understand structure and construction and how both are necessary in architecture. From a young age, Renzo Piano was
