The Evolution of Interior Design

The Evolution of Interior Design Question: Discuss the work James Stirling; Norman Foster; Ettore Sottsass; Richard Rogers; David Hicks; Philippe Starck. Post- Modernism period is from the1950s to 21th century. Post-modern style leadership at 1970s influenced today architecture and product design even graphic design. Apart of influence to architecture design, it also has culture, literature, art, philosophy, history, economics, architecture, fiction, and literary criticism. Post-modern style make more same style building in the world appeared. Post-Modernism makes local characteristics and traditional design fade out. Nowadays architecture and urban landscape are too boring and no special point. However architecture industry appears young designers and young architect groups that try to change and develop the Post-Modern style building outlook. That occurred revolution of the architecture industry. Classical, Modern and Post-Modern architecture are simple definition. We can see every city established the architecture by using of the geometric. The geometric structure is the most popular style. These thought had been given from Bauhaus. Bauhaus is influenced to modernism architecture mostly. The modern architecture it is not too much decoration. The material and functional architecture is a modern style feature mainly. Until now, the Post-Modern architecture is not only about aesthetic. Meanwhile Post-Modern architecture the characteristic is focus in environmental protection. Besides that, we can found the Post-Modernism return to classical style in architecture and furniture design. I will introduce several most important Post-Modern Architects and Designers. James Stirling he is Architect in British. He designed the History Faculty Library, Cambridge, completed in 1968. He was a led in Post-modern movement important person. In Italy Ettore Sottsass is a designer. Graduated with a degree in architecture but some of his iconic works is a product design Typewriter Valentine. Richard Rogers is a British architect. He corporate with the Italian architect Renzo Piano Designed the Pompidou Center in 1971-77 in Paris. The Centre approach is high-tech. David Hicks is an Interior Designer. He strongly introduced Color and Graphic such as clashing colors and geometric pattern carpets. He pioneered a mix and match antique with the modern pieces. There are two important person will be discussed in below. They are most popular architect Norman Foster and Designer Philippe Starck at today. Firstly let us discuss Norman Foster, Norman Forster is a Post-Modernism high-tech iconic architect designer. He is worldwide famous architect. He is a star in architectural industry also he won many of the world class architectural awards. He is one of the worlds major architects. The Gale Group Inc (2004) point out that â€Å"Called the hero of high-tech, his architectural signature is a design that opens a building up to the public, is mindful of the environment, and saves money by using modern materials and advanced technology.† HSBC Bank is a most popular bank In Hong Kong. Also Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Headquarters. Looking buildings around in Hong Kong Central the architecture is still most modern, even though it was established in 1985. That architecture is a British architect Norman Foster design. In fact, his famous designed Huge Financial Commercial Building and Airport Terminal. In 1986s Hong Kong, we all know HSBC Building Hong Kong designed by him the building style is high-tech. Structural of steel parts was manufactured in United Kingdom. Glass, aluminum outer frame and flooring was manufactured in America. Component facilities were manufactured in Japan. The building architecture design structure is not internal support. All supporting structures was located outer frame of the building and free removal. And glass facade designed to make the best use of natural light. The ground floor lobby door is toward north south, winter keep cool in the lobby, it save air-conditioning costs. The High-tech architecture is also known as Structural Expressionism. That building gives him famous in the international architecture industry. At 1998s Hong Kong International Airport Terminal also designed by him. That made him well-known in architecture industry. At 2013s, he designed Kai T ak Cruise Terminal in Hong Kong. In addition Hong Kong International Airport Terminal and Hung Hom Station were close to the same design. At the same time at Beijing, China 2003 – 2008. He designed Beijing Airport. The outside of the Beijing airport look like similar to Hong Kong International Airport. That is Norman foster style I would say. Although, the airport is look like too similar of outlook. But we if carefully study for that architecture. We will find some differences and interesting is come from the Beijing airport architecture design. Norman Forster is not only just applying technologically improved to airport building. He is very intimate design for in terms of passenger experience. The terminal it’s used soaring aerodynamic on the roof. And then the roof Imagination form Chinese dragon form and Chinese colors red. It is so symbolic for China. Norman Foster designed for maximum flexibility to care with cannot know in future of the aviation industry. It is resolve the future complicated air travel. The Beijing Airport Terminal that interior spatial clarity combining with high service standards . As for public transport, the airport building connect are fully integrated all kind of transportation. Passengers are not walking too long distances arrive destination. He suggested shorten distances of the road for flights. It can be made transfer times flights are minimized time. Beijing airport terminal is like to Hong Kong International airport terminal. The concept is both of the open view to the outside. Special remark, the Beijing airport just four years can be design and built that airport terminal. David McManus (2015) point out that â€Å"The terminal building is one of the world’s most sustainable, incorporating a range of passive environmental design concepts,† Mr. Foster he very good use the skylight. The skylight can be gain from the sun light. I’m agreeing he is hero of high-tech. His great use high technology for himself design concept. Mr. Foster has unique architecture system and form. If no Hong Kong International Airport design and build experience. I think Beijing Airport cannot finish within four years of design and built that airport terminal. I would say he is architect of high-tech father. What is this? UFO can be making an orange juice or lemon juicy? The UFO let me imagine that just a micro-sculpture is not having functional. But that product is a citrus squeezer. That might be one of his best-known works. This citrus squeezer Iconic symbol of Philippe Starck and produced by Alessi. Philippe Starck is famous Product Designer, Industrial Design as well as architect. He is amazing designer in my mind. His characteristic is the focus on different areas of the design. His works is from high budget of the architectural design to smaller works of the toothbrush product. He is very creative in all design. Such as designed of the computer mouse for Microsoft, as well as redesigned new packaging for Beer Brand. Philippe Starck design usually use different material mixed such as glass and stones or plastic and aluminum combining. His almost famous design works in 1990 Juicy Salif. That Juicer looks as a Rocket Launcher that is designed for Italian Brand Alessi Housewares. The most well-known is the 1984 Paris Cafà © Costes. In addition, the Asakusa Tokyo Asahi Beer Tower, Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel Felix bar. His interior design style keeps in classical or old style and mixed with the contemporary material. That his effort is design for every body Philippe Starck with Baccarat’s signature red crystal pendant lamp redesigned. He adds black crystal and lined with aluminum on the pendant lamp. The name is ZÉNITH NOIR it is neoclassical historical style. He likes to change the historical style using new modern material renew. Another iconic and great design is ghost chair. The chair is best sellers today. That is neoclassical historical style. He redesigns the classical chair was used by transparent polycarbonate material. The chair used by transparent material, it will be invisible in the interior has no chair effect, that effect is so interesting. Philippe Starck in 2014s cooperates with RIKO. RIKO is a wooden constructions company. The project name is a Prefabricated Accessible Technology Homes short name is PATH. We are living in a modern age; the PATH house has been given living with nature for human. The PATH house design concept is come from future. Combining high technology, comfortable, sustainable, timeless design and respect environment. The PATH idea is come from Philippe Starck. But he is adamant that PATH house design its does not used a Starck style. The house construction is using Aluminum and Spruce Wood. The house outside is using aluminum material. This material is good for insulation effect. Indoor interior design is using spruce decor. Overall for the house, his design is included coordinating, renewable energy power generation, solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal systems, and rainwater collection system. It will be installed on the roof. It can be greatly reduced by more than 50% of ecological engineeri ng. That house design is a Philippe Starck breakthrough his design thinking. Philippe Starck design is in use the historical elements very well. Even the PATH house design is not Starck style but we if carefully study for that house. We will found the house is a roman ionic order transforming of the elevation. He is my favorite designer for me. In conclusion, I think Norman Foster has influence to architecture go to high-tech trend and systematization constructions. He is leadership the High-tech architecture functional building and environmental protection building popular development movement. Today design style influence contemporary architect and have High-tech outer frame style usage. Philippe Starck has influence to contemporary material and renaissance classical or old style design mixing usage. Beyond the Post-Modernism and design rules. His amazing design way inspires a new generation of architect and designers what is creative and multitasking of design think. Reference List: Muschamp, V. (1992, June 26).

Social Networking Essay: Boon or Bane

IntroductionPeople who live in the past can only communicate through the way of Telegrams, Letters and Telephone Calls. But with the birth of modern Technologies, wireless mobile phone and computers were invented. Then, social networking begins.With this study, there are many questions that we have to consider such as: What exactly is Social Networking? Does it have anything to do with this modern society? What are their advantages and disadvantages and what are the effects of this social networking to an individual.This study intends to tell us the use and effects of social networking and will help us to widen our knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of social networking.BodySocial Networking is way of communicating with people whether far or nearby places with the use of computers and other devices which connects to World Wide Web. It is also a simple act of expanding the number of people you know by adding friends of your friends and meeting them in social network or i n social community.In fact, many of business oriented associated person nowadays promote their existing and upcoming business with the use of it and some people looking to connect with other business contacts usually move to social networking sites. For students, social networking is the easiest way of collecting information’s about their assignments, research papers and even world’s information or job opportunities.I have list some common networking sites for references:Facebook : Facebook was founded in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow Harvard University students Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[8] The founders had initially limited the website's membership to students of the University of Harvard, but later expanded it to colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University. It gradually added support for students at various other universities before it opened to high-school st udents, and eventually to anyone aged 13 and over.Facebook now allows anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website.[9] Users must register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, exchange messages, and receive automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common-interest user groups, organized by workplace, school or college, or other characteristics, and categorize their friends into lists such as â€Å"People from Work† or â€Å"Close Friends†Twitter: Twitter is a very simple service that is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about social networking service providers. When you have a Twitter account, you can use the service to post and receive messages to a network of contacts, as opposed to send bulk email messages. You can build your network of contacts, and invite others to receive your Tweets, and can follow other memb ers' posts. Twitter makes it easy to opt into or out of networks. Additionally, you can choose to stop following a specific person’s feed.Linkedln: LinkedIn is an online social network for business professionals, which is designed specifically for professional networking, to help them find a job, discover sales leads, connect with potential business partners. Unlike most of the other social networks, LinkedIn does not focus on making friends or sharing media like photos, videos and music. LinkedIn offers many resources for entrepreneurs. Brand yourself as an entrepreneur, find service providers or partners, and participate with your LinkedIn network to strengthen your profile.Myspace: On MySpace, your social network starts growing from the first day. When you join MySpace, the first step is to create a profile. You then, invite friends to join there and search for your friends on already profiled on MySpace these friends become your initial Friend Space. Once the friendship i s confirmed all the people in your friends' Friend Space become part of your network. In that sense, everyone on MySpace is in your Extended Network.Blogs: A blog is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries (â€Å"posts†) typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently â€Å"multi-author blogs† (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and professionally edited.Hi5 : Hi5 shares many similarities with many social network sites; however, it introduces some twists that make it worthwhile for people who love trying out new and interesting online communities. However, it is not one of the popular sites in the United States. This was a strategic move from the founder, therefore, Hi5 claims around 60 millio n members from more than 200 countries other than the US. One of the site's biggest transformations is the addition of many entertainment options, including games.Tagged: Tagged is a blend of social networking features that MySpace and Facebook users will find very familiar. Tagged was designed to help users meet lots of new people with similar interests in a short amount of time. You can access and register directly or be invited by a friend to join Tagged. This is a free social network that allows you to view your friends’ newly uploaded Tagged photo album. Tagged encourages its users to meet strangers based on shared interests, with the idea of growing your network to meet as many people as possible.And Electronic Mailer or Email: This social site is the first step of all. Without this email address you will not be able to join any social  networking site although you have to register here as well but you can use this email as the key to join any social networking sites. I have list few advantages and disadvantages of social networking. The advantages are as follows:Easiest ConnectionThere is no easier on fastest way to make a connection than via social networking. Through such sites, individuals make new friends or business connections or extend their personal base by connecting and inter-acting with friends. These connections can help one with a variety of things such as finding romance, seeking a new job or seeking advice on personal issue or even in career.In many ways, social networking communities are the visual equivalent of meeting everywhere to exchange news and get update on friends and families. Plus, social networking websites can access anywhere around the globe. For other people it can help an individual to establish communication with their love ones and friends through which they can strengthen their relationships and knowledge.Increase News CycleSocial networking has revolutionized the speed of news cycle. Many news organizations ar e now partner with social networking sites in order to both collect and share information. You can understand what is going on in the world just by watching trending topics from many of these sites.Common InterestWhen you participate to a social networking community, you can pick and choose those individuals whose likes and dislikes are similar to yours and built your network around those who share your interestModern EncyclopediaUnlike to manual book, in social network one click of the mouse and the data you were looking for will appear in front of your eye. Assignment, definitions and research is just as easy as you hear it.There is a saying that â€Å"there’s no perfect in this world† meaning whenever there is advantages, disadvantages also comes into picture as always.So here are the disadvantages of social networking:Waste of TimeSome of the students used to spend hour in those social networking sites which can obviously degrade the student’s academic perfo rmance. Some of them may tend to use Facebook till midnight or even more because of the applications like farm ville to monitor their crops or whatever it is which can lead to health related problems. And children’s these generation spend more time in using social networking sites through which they lack to spend more time with their family.Personal RiskUse of social networking can expose individuals to harassment on inappropriate contact from others. Personal details like you full name, names of family members, birthday, address, phone numbers, schedules, place of employment, photos and etc. you can be easily stalked by strangers or even acquaintances and even identity thieves to replicate your online presence.Actions in the digital world can have far-reaching consequences in real life. Inappropriate posts on social media can have severe repercussions on a student's academic career, and students can lose jobs, internships and even interviews because of the information potent ial employers are finding out about students on their social networking accounts.Compromising and inappropriate pictures, statements or other information on student social networking accounts can hurt students' chances to gain employment. Employers take the images that students are portraying on social networking sites very seriously as a reflection of personal character.Real life ConnectionsA huge advantage of this social networking has a reverse side effect that is also a big disadvantage of social networking which is, they reduce face to face socialization. Because of autonomy afforded by the virtual word,  individuals are free to create a fantasy and pretend to be someone else. It’s incredibly easy to unfriend or unfollow someone or simply block their efforts to make a connection. Just one click of the mouse and your problems are over. Unfortunately, this feature of online socialization cheats people of the opportunity to learn how to resolve conflicts in the real world and it could retard or cripple ones social skills development.SummaryIt is true that this generation has a lot of changes together with the way of communication but it doesn’t mean that you have to be part of new ways because your own choice is what matters the most. If you decide to join or you’re already part of it, you should be and have to be responsible for your own safety. One wrong click and I’m sure all your effort will be waste.So, in evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of social networking it is best to be on the side of caution and information. Then, I would like to conclude that social networking is definitely a boon for those who are aware that they are using it for the right purpose.

Analysis of Act 1 Essay

A form of love expressed within ‘Romeo and Juliet’ is the â€Å"love at first sight† that Romeo feels upon seeing Juliet for the first time. In Shakespearean times, platonic love was prominent and this is clear in Romeo’s soliloquy. â€Å"Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear† implies Juliet is angelic, demonstrating Romeo’s instant affection for her. Angel is within the semantic field of religion, a very important factor in the time with which the play is set and therefore illustrates not only Romeo’s apparent need to shower her with praise and affection, but also how serious his feelings actually are. Religious imagery is used again in stating â€Å"and touching hers, make blessed my rude hand† yet again suggesting that Juliet is a saint and that by touching her Romeo would become â€Å"blessed†. This, however, portrays Romeo’s beliefs within love. As mentioned, platonic love was the general way in which relationships at the time were, so by Romeo stating that he should touch her shows his forwardness and his almost childlike, selfish tendencies proving his obsession with love. Later within Act 1, Scene 5, however, Romeo and Juliet share a sonnet upon first meeting. The sonnet is the ultimate display of love and by speaking it together, Shakespeare allows the audience to understand that the two are not only seriously in love, but also share a very pure and unadulterated love- one that is beyond all other love. Shakespeare also displays how, now after seeing Juliet, Romeo has completely dismissed Rosaline, who he was irrevocably in love with not long before hand. â€Å"Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight. For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night† emphasises this by stating both the beauty of Juliet to be above all others and states that the beauty he believed Rosaline to have was not indeed so, quite ironically as four scenes previously he stated that she was â€Å"fair† and â€Å"exquisite†, yet again exposes Romeo’s fickle behaviour in terms of love. Romeo also declares â€Å"so shows a snowy dove trooping with crows† showing his dismissal of what he felt for Rosaline. The sentence is antithesis, demonstrating Romeo’s opinion that Juliet is exemplary again, â€Å"crows† being opposed to doves but also connoting death, expressing the extremity of Romeo’s statement. Romeo’s love for Juliet does appear as though genuine. The first few lines of the soliloquy mostly contain monosyllabic words and are very simple in both style of speech and and the intelligence of the vocabulary. This shows the sincerity of his love as it is completely opposed to when he was speaking of Rosaline. Where his speech then was organised and intentionally melancholy and philosophical, this is his first and genuine opinion of Juliet and her beauty. The soliloquy also consists of five rhyming couplets conveying the speech as romantic, as rhyming couplets are a poetic technique which in turn is considered romantic.

A Short Note On Cell Lymphomas And Its Clinical Findings...

Abstract B-cell lymphomas can be identified by many clinical findings with signs, symptoms, and changes in the tissue. Splenic B-cell lymphoma is an invasion of the b-cells overtaking the normal white tissue of the spleen. Through research, the ability to identify these clinical symptoms has been boosted. Splenic lymphoma with splenomegaly is the classic identifier for B-cell lymphomas; they may lead to hyperslenism or complete removal of the spleen. There are various classifications of B-cell lymphomas which may be directly or indirectly related to the spleen. There are both large and small B-cell lymphomas. Small B-cell lymphomas are primarily associated with nodal or extranodal specifically, and are also associated with the gastrointestinal tract, predominantly in the stomach. Large B-cell lymphomas are associated with hepatitis C virus infection. Both large and small B- cell lymphomas are characterized as splenic lymphomas. Although the spleen is frequently involved in distributi ng B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, splenic presentation as the primary or only site of disease is uncommon. Each has normal associations, risk factors, symptoms and prognoses. Sonographically, we are able to visualize and identify such lymphomas. Splenic B-Cell Lymphomas Splenic B-cell lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of diseases involving several entities that demonstrate overlapping features.
