The Influence of Renaissance in Art and Architecture
The influences of any era is evident through artwork and architecture. During the Middle Ages the main influence was the church, this is evident through the focus on biblical and religious symbols. During the Renaissance the main focus was the study of people. This is shown through the increase in self portraits and classical antiquity-inspired buildings. The change between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance is best shown through the art and architecture, demonstrated specifically through an emphasis on religion and classical antiquity, both suggesting a clear cultural change.

A Research Study On Natural Architecture
In research of natural architecture I could only hear my heart beating; the time seemed to stop when I was riding in the wave tube. Furthermore, I experienced the dynamic space when my body was being enclosed by the wave. I began noticing the dynamic relationship between the body, the wave, space, and time. The wave changed every second with the ocean’s perpetual motion. My consciousness of time was piqued, the sunlight reflecting and penetrating the ripples in the water’s surface, as I road through the tube

Design And Construction Of The Architecture Industry
The industry I would like to be a part of is the architecture industry. I have made this choice because, unlike most jobs, an architect’s job is constantly evolving. Although architecture is similar to art, there are various other aspects to consider, such as programing and building technology. Building materials and technology are always becoming more advanced, and it is the architect’s responsibility to make sure that the concepts that they are formulating efficiently make use of the material available.

Commercial Architecture and Globalization
Commercial architecture does it respond to the identity surrounding it. Or does it merely respond to the conditions of Globalization. In order to answer the question above, in the following written piece I must explore the key elements of globalization and identity. I intend to relate both factors to commercial architecture, using the Hilton Tower in Manchester as a prime example. This written piece will effectively be split into two parts (Globalization and Identity). The first decade of the 21st century has seen globalization and identity emerge as the most critical challenge to society

Vernacular Architecture
Mongolian Ger For the majority, the region of Mongolia is a high flat landmass with extreme temperature changes, strong winds and low levels of humidity; conditions of a continental climate. This climate brings about great seasonal differences with winter being long and cold while summer is short and warm. The harsh, open terrain of Mongolia is unsheltered from the winds and major storm systems, and as the latitude increases, precipitation is limited to smaller amounts where trees yield to grasslands and treeless plains....

Romanesque Architecture : The Medieval Period
The Medieval period, which occurred in the years 401 until 1500, is a time in European history that fostered the development and widespread use of various architectural styles. Many structures built during this time still survive to this day, including St. Michael’s Church in Germany and Chartres Cathedral in France. Two of the most common and famous types of architecture during this period were the Romanesque and Gothic styles. Romanesque architecture borrows many of the same innovative engineering techniques the Romans used to build the structures of their vast and powerful empire, such as the rounded arch....

Comparisons of the Zachman Framework with Other Frameworks for Enterprise Architecture Development
Organizations are finding that computer systems are very complex and seldom do these systems produce a real business value to the organization (Session, 2007). Businesses are searching for an answer and that answer may be for an organizational to develop an enterprise architecture (EA). The complexity and constant change that occurs in business may be controlled by developing an EA, and this will facilitate alignment between the business objectives, business processes, and information systems (Ylim & Halttunenb, 2007).
