and mirror planes. The crystal class can be defined by its point symmetry, mathematically defined as point group. Before writing this paper, I wonder what a point group was and for that matter what was a group. After doing research I found that the word group branches off from a math theory called the Group Theory. The Group Theory is generally an algebraic structure. In a group there is a group of elements, these elements could consist of anything, but most of the time it consists of numbers. There

The topic of safe spaces has been a highly debated subject in the past couple of months, but in today’s world safe spaces are necessary and an outlet for people experiencing difficult situations. According to the article by Frank Furedi about college safe spaces, the meaning of safe spaces has changed drastically over the last few years; the meaning of safe spaces used to refer to a room
Geographical space, as we know it, is undergoing significant changes in its perception. It is in a state of continuous redefinition caused by the increased use of technologies that provide access to cyberspace. Although cyberspace has no physical dimensions, it is very real for the many of us who use modern technology. Whether it is the Internet, accessed through a computer or cell phones, or other private networks such as MMOGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Games), cyberspace is increasingly the
fill in the gaps left when traditional grammar and syntax are eschewed. One particularly useful cross-disciplinary element employed in concrete poetry is the use of space. The poetry of Emmett Williams, Seiichi Nikuni, and Ilse and Pierre Garnier in particular, make use of spatial relationships in their poetry. The use of space can be employed in place of traditional grammar and syntax to convey meaning in concrete poetry, particularly when the spatial position of one element is taken into consideration
Violation of Space On today’s episode of “Know Your Principles of Sociology,” the question is how important are the mundane rules of life? Our contestants in Dr. Marin’s class helped us out with finding the answer. To answer this they simply violated an unwritten social norm that people live by in our culture. They decided to violate the space theory. Weather it be to randomly hug people or sit extremely close to them, these brave young souls went to the farthest ends to observe and document the
DEFINITION Space-Time Clustering is a method of data analysis whereby the data objects are grouped with reference to a specific place and time. Space time clustering is therefore involve finding clusters that emerge during a particular time interval at particular places. Spatial cluster detection allows the identification of locations, shapes and sizes of potential anomalous spatial regions. The analysis of these clusters aid in the understanding of current patterns and prediction of future ones
genre of spatial design known as Narrative. It aims also to shed some light on some theories and classifications related his issue. Understanding and analyzing previous endeavors in the area will form the cornerstone of exploring the attributes of a space which is make it capable of telling a story and conveying a message. Nigel Coates - one of the most original and profound British theorists and thinkers in architecture, interior and product design – has written profoundly and practiced design based
A group of mix-matched chairs is forced into a singular, tight space in the lobby. Anyone who enters and waits must wait in such close contact with those around them. Awkward silence is seemingly inevitable. People constantly remark about the little amount of sitting, making comments such as “if only we had a couch,” but they fix this problem by using the open area of the floor. While this goes against the design of the building, it works well and allows a larger group of students to
retail spaces has become the major concern of the project. The new World Trade Center project has stirred a significant amount of debates among authorities and the public since Daniel Liberskind first revealed his original mater plan in February 2003. Some have proposed to redesign and decentralize lower Manhattan; others have questioned that if New York really needs another world’s tallest building, or maybe something more modest like affordable housing, linear parks, and true public spaces and institutes
I studied geography at secondary school. As I have some basic knowledge about urban development, when I see the title of this course, I believe I can perform better. We seemed to be konwn our city very well. However, a city is not just a place we live in but the major fasinating component of human’s civilization. We make concerted effort to be more powerful. We live together to take care of each other. We socialize to learn from each other. If we want to know a city in depth, we have to look at more
Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, London and New York, 2010 Kim Dovey, the author of the book, is currently working at the University of Melbourne as professor of architecture and urban design. He has written two other books and they all are focused on social issues on urban design and architecture. This book was written mostly in the inner-city suburb of Fitzroy. Becoming Places is providing extensive information on how to create change positively from space to place and the content
which means that real life events were used as the stimulus and in this case, the monologues were actual accounts from the people involved in the event. As a touring company, 'Ape' must be aware that they will be performing in many different spaces, therefore it is important that the set is minimalistic and can be set up and adapted to small and large halls. This particular production is to warn students of the effects of drink driving and particularly to be aware of accepting lifts in
The everyday spaces of our lives express and reinforce certain understandings of different aspects of identity such as race, class, gender, age, etc. The special construct of spaces tell us, both discreetly and indiscreetly, what types of people and activities are welcome, and what types are not. Spaces are habitually designed with the purpose of eliciting a certain kind of behavior from people. By looking at the build environment as well as the everyday practices of spaces, we can interpret
take on human movement. (Konie 2011) The LMA helps one to understand one’s body and to use it to its fullest potential. There are four major sub-divisions in the LMA which are body, effort, shape and space (BESS)(Adrian 2008). The following academic review will analyse the body, effort, shape and space and then apply it to my character, Nora, and her monologue from Brighton Beach Memoirs. Body: The body is the first concept of Laban’s four components of movement. Body can be defined as the human
“True, by this time it was not a blank space any more … it had become a place of darkness.” (Heart of Darkness) Examine the significance of ‘blank spaces’ in THREE novels of the 19th and/or early 20th centuries. The ellipsis in the titular quote refers to an important omission: “it [the blank space] had got filled since my boyhood with rivers and lakes and names. It had ceased to be a blank space of delightful mystery – a white patch for a boy to dream gloriously over.”1 Conrad’s Marlow highlights
Dis/located Identities: Swinging and Contemporary Sexual Space A committed relationship without monogamy sounds like a contradiction in terms to those raised in America, or most any country at this point in history. The nature of commitment suggests that it requires a single partner and the promise to remain faithful to that person. Swingers choose a slightly different route and yet it is one that can involve more trust and openness than monogamous relationships offer. Swingers [1] are couples
male entitlement has become fatal. Nevertheless, it was difficult for me to develop a “question” related to my theme. I knew exactly what my subject should be, but not how to focus it. As Meaghen suggested I direct my presentation toward a particular group of people, however, a question began to form in my mind. By making the choice to make women my audience—which then gave me the inspiration to instill hope in my fellow women—I found my question: What can we do to change how many men feel entitled to
upper hand at this highly competitive time), as Christmas shopping. Sight must be incorporated in the thrilling hunt for the perfect parking space, or in event of its absence, a parking space. Looking for empty spaces, cars leaving spaces, cars that will dart in front of other cars for a space, and gauging distance to dart in front of another car for a parking space. Also to be seen upon entering the shopping facility, usually a mall, are the large ornaments, lights, and other decorations reminding you
Over time the use of buildings changes and so do their users requirements. Despite still sharing the same key functions with certain rooms, over time the layout of these spaces changes. There are many factors which can determine the form of buildings and in this essay I will be exploring the difference between two educational institutions, built in different centuries under very different socio-cultural, political and technological contexts. The two buildings which I will be analysing are Shepley
Arts of the Contact Zone by Mary Louise Pratt The Arts of the Contact Zone by Mary Louise Pratt opened up a whole new concept for our class. The new term “contact zone” appeared and Pratt defined it as "social spaces where cultures meet, clash, and grapple with each other, often in contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, such as colonialism, slavery, or their aftermaths as they are lived out in many parts of the world today." The idea of the contact zone is intended in part to contrast
