Romanesque vs. Gothic Architecture
Romanesque vs. Gothic architecture ________________ Abstract The early Middle Ages witnessed the emergence of Romanesque architecture. This is the term which is used to describe the building styles which were used between approximately 800 and 1100 AD. On the other hand, the later Middle Ages saw the emergence of the Gothic style architecture, which was developed from Romanesque. This term is used to depict building styles which were used between 1200 and 1500 AD. ________________ Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………………... 3 Romanesque architecture ……………………………………………………………….. 4 Characteristics of Romanesque architecture ………………………………………….. 5 From Romanesque to Gothic architecture ……………………………………………... 8 Gothic architecture ……………………………………………………………………….. 9 Characteristics of Gothic architecture …………………………………………………. 10 Conclusion ………………………………………………………………………………... 14 References ……………………………………………………………………………......
Organizational Structure
Organizational Structure Submitted to: Prof C.P.Shrimali By: Sachin Singh PGHR-42 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE The organizational structure plays an important role in day-to-day functioning of the organization. Delegation of authority and employee reporting framework are some of the factors that determine the organizational structure. An efficient structure facilitates decision making by smoothening the span of control or the scope of the manager. The objective here is to understand why organizations have the structure that they do. By "structure" its meant things like degree and type of horizontal differentiation, vertical differentiation, mechanisms of coordination and control, formalization, and centralization of powerAccording to Taylor, Fayol, Weber and other classical theorists, there is a single best way for organization to be structured. Yet organizations vary considerably on structural attributes. The objective of much research has been to understand what determines these variations. This raises two issues: Is it random or systematic? Are some organizations simply less perfect than others, or are different designs better for different situations? It can be said that whereas strategic choice and organizational design are immensely complex there is an underlying logic based on the concept of 'fit': Certain strategies and organizational designs do fit one

An Analysis of the structure of ExxonMobil Aviation 2002-2003. Presented to the Senior Management of ExxonMobil Aviation On Friday, 10 January 2003. Report researched and prepared by Ergin Senses. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report looks at the structure of the ExxonMobil Aviation management structure. The report deals with the structure of the organisation and the principles/issues of organisational structure and design recommendations. By analysing the existing structure the report finds the structure to be generally very appropriate for Exxon. Yet some recommendations are made and adjustments are proposed in technology. Additionally many possible future issues are addressed with respect to the structure of Exxon. By relying on the way Exxon deals with issues like innovation management and nurturing, multicultural customer relationships and size issues the report commends Exxon on its management structure.

A Better Building, A Brighter Tomorrow
Kate Critchfield Professor Carl E. Clark Interior Codes and Regulations ID326W Scottsdale, AZ September 13, 2007 A Better Building A Brighter Tomorrow The catastrophic event of 9/11 sparked an interest in fire safety and building codes. The large number of deaths that occurred from this incident led many Americans to ask, "Why?" Other people thought, "What could we have done differently?" As with any tragic scenario, people live and learn to achieve better concepts to bring a brighter tomorrow. Better building concepts for future and existing high-rise buildings will require more stringent fire codes, non-combustible materials at interior cores, and implementation of a universal communication system amongst first responders to ensure the safety of building occupants. The Twin Towers were built to be taller, more economical and more modern than any other buildings in existence (Nova). They were constructed with 200,000 tons of steel, 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, 103 elevators, 43,600 windows, 60,000 tons of cooling equipment, and a 360 foot television antenna. The North Tower was finished in 1970, reaching a height of 1,368 feet tall. The South Tower was completed in 1973 and stood 1,362 feet high (Avery). Since the 19th century, conventional skyscrapers were typically built with a skeleton of interior support columns equally spaced throughout the structure,

Interpretations of the Free Plan in Modern Architecture.
INTERPRETATIONS OF THE FREE PLAN ________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction 3 Villa Savoye: Free Plan and Function 3 Barcelona Pavilion: Relationship of Spaces 5 Conclusion 8 Bibliography 9 ________________ INTRODUCTION Some people regarded the free plan as one of the most influential idea in modern architecture. When a floor plan that is free from any load-bearing wall, the interior articulation can be flexible as there are no limitations on the location of wall placed. Architects can therefore manipulate space according to their wish and concepts. In order to achieve the free plan, technology plays a vital role. The use of reinforced concrete and steel made the structure free from any load-bearing walls. The idea of the free plan was first published in Le Corbusier’s “Five points towards a New Architecture” 1 in 1926. Corbusier envisioned that new architecture’s ground plan should be “freed”. The supporting systems no longer rely on walls but on other mediums, such as columns. Hence there is “absolute freedom” in designing the plan, and each floor can be partitioned independently. This declaration was published at the time when Le Corbusier was working on the exhibition in Weissenhof Siedlung, where other architects, such as Mies van der Rohe, were also involved. In this essay, the

The Vyne House Investigation.
The Vyne House Investigation It is stated in the National Trust Book of Great Houses written by Nigel Nicolson that the Vyne house "is a composition of the 16th, 17th and 18th centauries of which each has contributed something of startling novelty for it's time". Nigel Nicolson was born in 1917 and was educated in Eton and Balliol College, Oxford. He served in the Second World War in Africa and Italy. He entered publishing in 1947. Her has written several books on politic, architecture and social history. He was a experienced author and academic which suggests he knew what he was talking about when he made the statement that I will be studying. Throughout this essay I will be exploring the truth in this statement by looking into the architecture at the Vyne and seeing how it relates to the dates in which it was built in and when it was typical. I will be using books, photos, drawings, quotes and paintings to as much about the architectural features at the Vyne as possible. I will be visiting the house myself to see the architecture close up and to see what it looks like from all angles. I will be studying the typical architecture for each centaury starting with the 16th centaury. The Vyne House as it is today is very different to how it was when the Sandy's originally built it in the 16th centaury. It was much larger and without the features added in later period's when
The Egypt of Amenhotep III was sophisticated and cosmopolitan.
The Egypt of Amenhotep III was sophisticated and cosmopolitan. The economy prospered, as farms, workshops, gold mines and quarries were efficient and dependable providers of the nation's wealth. The influence of religion was felt in all spheres of life, and the colossal statues of the pharaoh at temple gates showed the greatness and prowess of the king to his people. Foreign trade provided luxury goods for the privileged, and the administration of Egypt boasted individuals of high ability and intellect.1 Arts and architecture flourished under Amenhotep III betraying no self-consciousness, doubt, or hesitation. Instead, it was vigorous, confident, and experimentational. A search for new forms of expression within the traditional artistic limits represented the new peak of development that had taken place over the preceding two centuries. A profound break in all aspects of artistic creativity, however, was about to emerge during a time when Egypt was plunged into one of the most traumatic periods in its history. At the death of Amenhotep III, his son Amenhotep IV took the throne and almost immediately began to change the eternal order of things that he had inherited from his forefathers. Six years later, Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten, and abandoned the official capital Thebes to found a new capital (Akhetaten).2 The god Amun was also abandoned for a new
