Modern Style


Architecture and urban planning started to give up the traditional styles and start to create a further form in constructions at the beginning of the 20th century. After industrialization, the building was made more affordable and stronger by using new technology. The new technique created an opportunity for the designer to construct wider spaces and taller buildings. Also, by using new technology, mass production of materials became easier and more inexpensive. In addition, the new methods increased the speed of the construction process.

Therefore, more homogenized cities and continuity structure appeared and the cultural, traditional and vernacular architecture was disappeared in designing. Because the architecture only accepted the modern style in their design and abandon the traditional styles without any consideration. It was the time to face many disadvantages such as designers try to construct affordable buildings and public areas regardless of considering climatic characteristics. Inconsequent, people should cost more but received fewer profits or efficient. Also, ignoring the climatic factors will enhance environmental pollution in the long term that it is able to decrease human health and more compromising the life of future generations. Moreover, aesthetical characteristics are other crucial parameters in architectural design but the consideration was neglected in the built environment and constructions. It is so clear that identity plays a significant role in civic life and individuals’ culture however cities, spaces, and buildings can’t achieve a sense of belonging for the users.

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...
