Expression in Architecture

When a man is angry, the emotion is expressed in some or the other way. From the actions, expressions on the face or the overall behaviour of man changes. Similarly, when a man is happy, we can tell it through his speech, energy, ecstasy in behaviour. Basically, the changes which are noted are acting as a bridge between the two ends.

1. 1. One who is giving the expression.

2. 2. One who is receiving the expression.

Now in this give and take process the receiving end is loose since it is subjective from receiver to the receiver. The same is the scenario in architecture. But here the designer has to have created such an atmosphere at the receiving end so that the subjectivity of the users lies on the same side of thoughts. When a designer designs any building, expression runs hand in hand. Whether it is a hut or a bungalow, a school or a college, museum or a memorial there is a certain expression. The expression or the character of the building makes a building to express its function.

In a simpler manner, the ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION forms a part, as the active component in the thoughts in totality, which involves and evolves the experience through journey. Architectural expression, however, is not the same as the expression of an emotion.

Steel Reinforcement

Since, concrete is relatively weak in tension, reinforcement consisting of steel bars, strands or wires is required to absorb tensile, shearing and sometimes the compressive stresses in a concrete member or structure. Steel reinforcement is also required to tie vertical and horizontal elements, reinforce the edges around openings, minimize shrinkage cracking and control thermal expansion and contraction. All reinforcement should be designed by a suitably qualified engineer. Reinforcing bars are steel sections hot-rolled with ribs or other deformations for better mechanical bonding to concrete. The bar number refers to its diameter in millimeters – for example, a 6 bar is 6 mm in diameter. The welded-wire fabric consists of a grid of steel wires or bars welded together at all points of intersection. The fabric is designated by the size of the grid in mm followed by a number indicating the wire size. ...

Ancient Egyptian Gardens

Gardens and their requirements are a complex subject. Ancient Egypt has a long and complex history. Combining those two topics produce a subject well beyond the scope of one amateurs blog. The botanical classifications, irrigation techniques, sacred and medicinal uses of plants, all could be separate blogs and some have occupied whole books. This article attempts only a quick overview. Throughout the history of ancient Egypt, gardens were prized. There were gardens for every purpose, for pleasure and medicine, for food and worship. Above all, there were gardens for shade and coolness. Often the same garden served several purposes at once, for the ancient Egyptians were in many ways a practical people. They are credited with having the first botanic gardens. Pharaohs, recording their great deeds, listed gardens they had created and expeditions they had sent to far-off lands for trees and exotic plants. Ordinary people had their own, less elabora...
