Royal Pavilion Work
How far does the Royal Pavilion reflect fashionable tastes of architecture, design, attitudes and way of life in the late 18th and early 19th century? The Royal Pavilion, standing in the centre of Brighton, was built over about 35 years by the Prince Regent of 1811, who would later become King George V1. It was influenced by a number of things, to an extent it reflected fashionable tastes in architecture, design, attitudes and way of life, but in some ways not. The very reason it was built in Brighton, does reflect way of life. In 1750, Dr Russel published a book: "Concerning the use of sea water in diseases of the glands". He recommended immersion in the sea, particularly Brighthelmstone sea, which had no rivers but was near cliffs and had accommodation. This became popular with the rich aristocracy for a while. The Prince would visit The Duke of Cumberland originally. This would be following fashion, but the Prince Regent soon began setting his own fashion, from following fashion, as he had a disease of the glands and visited Brighton, bringing it back to popularity. The Prince is the prime example of how the rich lived, they were used to traveling - they had a lot of money and time so often went traveling on what was known as the grand tour, to visit places of cultural interest perhaps what they had studied such as Egypt and Greece. So they would visit Brighton too, and
How and why has the Brayford Pool changed over the Last Hundred and Fifty years?
How and why has the Brayford Pool changed over the Last Hundred and Fifty years? For many years Brayford Pool has been a strong part of Lincoln's Epic History, Through out time is has held a strong significance of the Local History. Throughout time it has been used for various differences, everything from a major Inland port to a place of beauty where people can come and view its splendor. But through the ages many disturbing things have happened to Poor old Brayford, including in recent years it nearly being destroy for a Car park. Around 150years ago Brayford Pool was in it's prime, it's port even though not very Large held home to many Businesses, everything from Warehouses which where very common and came in vast numbers, to mills, to Breweries and even to Grain storage, and it was these many businesses that helped Brayford grow and prosper throughout the ages. Also Brayford came up to the outskirts of Lincoln so goods could be transported straight into the Town. (Picture Below was an Artists impression of how Brayford looked in its good old days). Another strong factor about Brayford is that's connected straight to the river Witham that allowed transport of goods to be much more efficient and a lot less time consuming. But due to its poor construction larger boats could not pass through as the sides and depth where marginally short, it wasn't until the very late
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
The Roses of Eyam and Our Town - Both plays depict a time and events that are past and yet have interest for us today - Compare the two plays in the light of this statement.
BOTH PLAYS DEPICT A TIME AND EVENTS THAT ARE PAST AND YET HAVE INTEREST FOR US TODAY. COMPARE THE TWO PLAYS IN THE LIGHT OF THIS STATEMENT. After reading "The Roses of Eyam" and "Our Town", I found that both plays are set in close communities, although "Our Town" is a more modern setting than "The Roses of Eyam". The communities in both plays are somewhat wary of anything outside their immediate environment. In "The Roses of Eyam", the villagers distrust Mompesson and take a long while to accept him. It is not until he and Stanley join together to fight the plague that he begins to gain their trust. In "Our Town", although the townspeople do not distrust strangers, they are dismissive of people they consider below them on the social scale. At the beginning of the play, when asked if someone was sick, Doc Gibbs replies: "No, just some twins born over in Polish Town." Both plays also cover the themes of birth, love affairs, marriage, family life and death. "The Roses of Eyam" does not actually depict a birth, although Catherine and Mompesson's children are mentioned, so birth is implied. However, in "Our Town", the play actually begins with the birth of the twins in Polish Town. Birth is a central issue in all our lives today as it was when these plays were written, and babies are referred to all the time. Soap operas regularly carry story lines featuring parents-to-be and
Early Christian, Byzantine and Celtic Art.
Early Christian, Byzantine and Celtic Art The culture and beliefs in Northern Europe, just before the rise of Christianity, was based on animals, nature and the supernatural. They no longer worshipped many gods, and the artwork usually depicted stylised animals and nature. Northern Europe was rich in pine forests, so there are many designs based on nature from the forests around them. Before Christianity was made the official religion in 313 by Emperor Constantine, Christians would meet in catacombs for secrecy, and developed a series of secret signs such as the chi-rho, which they engraved on the walls. This is the earliest Christian art form. Christians from the Mediterranean fled to North Britain, as it was a remote area where they would not be easily found. Scellig Michael, on the West coast of Ireland, became a Christian settlement for this reason. When the Emperor Constantine died in 337, the Empire split into East and West with a separate Emperor. They developed their own styles, until 493 when Byzantine artists began to travel to the West. These factors led to the establishment of three separate styles of Early Christian Art- that in Rome, Byzantine art and architecture in Constantinople and Ravenna, and Celtic Art in North-West Europe. Characteristics of Early Christian 300-750 AD * Early Christian art isn't realistic and doesn't try to represent reality as

Amazing Archigram, 1964 Cover illustration of the fourth issue of Archigram magazine (EDITED by Ajay Singh Sihra) By Ajay Singh Sihra. CANTERBURY SCHOOL of ARCHITECTURE. Professor Sir Peter Cook, Southend-On-Sea English born architect is acclaimed as a student, educator, curator, director, academic, designer, and probably predominantly in Cooks' eyes an experimentalist. His nonconformist fifty-year career accredited by being on Queen Elizabeth II 's birthday honor list 2007 is the appreciation and recognition of the burgeoning aspirations preparatory in the eight-year-old Peter Cook. Rather than conforming to the masses Cook believes he received the knighthood for his dissimilar unorthodox approach to architecture. "It's important that you can be recognised for doing valuable work without having to build lots of big buildings, rather for being a maverick creative academic."1 Cook was introduced to Architecture at an early age due to his father, who had been an army officer in the First World War, now being the quartering commandment for the Midlands. His fathers job would entail visits to buildings deciding whether to requisition them or not. He would take the three or four year old Peter Cook along with him to study these properties. "He was looking at buildings, and I was looking at buildings with him. And the myth amongst family is that, I was fascinated by

This study seeks to examine the effects of restoration on the characteristics of an urban river, the River Crane. River restoration tries to re-establish the natural flow of a river by removing hard-engineering structures
AN ASSESSMENT OF A RIVER RESTORATION SCHEME ON CHANNEL CHARACTERISTICS AND FLOW REGIME OF AN URBAN RIVER Introduction This study seeks to examine the effects of restoration on the characteristics of an urban river, the River Crane. River restoration tries to re-establish the natural flow of a river by removing hard-engineering structures and encouraging the river to return to its former state. "The first and most critical step in implementing restoration is to, where possible, halt disturbance activities causing degradation or preventing recovery of the ecosystem" (Kauffman et al. 1993, Kauffman et al. 1995) In recent years hydrologists have come to the conclusion that forcing rivers to flow in an unnatural way is ineffective and costly both economically and environmentally. The river Crane runs from North Hyde Road in Hayes in a southernly direction through Hounslow and Twickenham to the Thames. A majority of the rivers flow comes from urban run-off. The restoration is taking place between Hounslow and Twickenham. In order to assess the river restoration scheme, two sites were chosen, one of which had undergone restoration and one which had not. Figure 1: Map showing fieldwork sites (Scale = 1:10,000) www.multimap.com) Method At each of the sites shown above the following measurements were taken: * Width (from wetted perimeter and bank-full) * Depth
Did the organization of the Spanish Church limit its success in the New World?
26th May 2004 Camilla Burdett C&C Did the organization of the Spanish Church limit its success in the New World? In order to decide whether or not the organisation of the Church limited or extended its success in the New World we must define 'success' and examine evidence for its achievement or otherwise. If the conversion of the Indians to Catholicism was one of the two main justifications of the Conquest then success may be defined by the extent and depth to which this occurred. The Jesuits realised, after the rush of the early achievements when progress was made relatively fast, that the conversions were in fact quite shallow: it was impossible to deny the fact that old beliefs remained, mingled with the newly imposed Christian doctrine. There were unavoidable similarities between Christianity and the old native religions: the Indians took to the custom of building churches and placing crosses on holy places remarkably well, but it was common in the 1560s for Augustinian missionaries in Guamachuco to use Andean textiles to adorn Christian buildings1. Even more alarmingly, there rose a trend in the later stages of conversion of the restatement of non-Christian beliefs and practices, as the Indians in Peru looked back to the Incas having settled after the first enthusiastic wave of Christianity: they would obey the need to fast during Lent, but would do so using
