	How to Photograph Architecture (Exterior) - photo.net
		Architectural photography at its best will convey the experience of being in and around a built environment.
		As noted in the perspective correction section, a professional architectural photographer will always have some means of controlling perspective, generally with a view camera.
		Architectural photography is easy in that the subject doesn't move, but you have to really know composition and perspective.

		Architecture of the early years of Islam (between 622-661) was characterized by simplicity and humbleness.
		Architectural sophistication came about later as intellectual and economic prosperity created a demand for elaborate, but acceptable forms and arts.
		Architecture of that period aimed to fulfill that purpose leading to limited building activities centered on a few mosques scattered in various regions of the Muslim land.

		While Stotz was not atypical in considering style as the key to understanding architecture, he broke with this view to include buildings and structures, such as log houses, iron furnaces, and covered bridges, that were outside stylistic traditions.

	NCAW Spring 04 \| Deborah van der Plaat on William Lethaby's Architecture, Mysticism and Myth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In Architecture, Mysticism and Myth (1891), the English architect and theorist William Lethaby (1857-1931) developed a syncretic theory of modern architectural invention in which the subjective world of the 'imagined' is reconciled with the objective or 'known'.
		Lethaby's search for the universal—observing that "behind every style of architecture there is an earlier style, in which the germ of every form is to be found"—and his association of such facts with the "imagined," established the importance of the past and the significance of traditional values.
		Modern architectural invention, he suggested, was equally dependent on the dual representation of the "known"—the need to address the changing conditions imposed by the object world, both physical and cultural—and the imagined—the expression of the internal inventions of the subject.

		One additional spring on the canyon rim was enclosed by the great tower complex (Architectural Block 1200) late in the occupation of the village.
		A series of one definite and three possible dams spanned a shallow drainage bisecting this complex (see paragraph 36 in "Architecture") and served to slow the flow of water from the uplands into the canyon.
		Additional possible evidence of specialization was noted in the proportions of artifact types in different architectural blocks at the site; it is possible that residents in peripherally located blocks tended to specialize in certain tasks more than did residents of centrally located blocks (see paragraph 168 in "Artifacts").

		American infatuation with new technologies found architectural expression in the elaborate movie houses of the 1920s and the automobile showroom.

		Biberstein was reputed to be very exacting and demanding of perfection in detail, and it was probably that, in combination with his good education and training with the best machinery and mill designers in the area, which served him well in winning many mill design contracts.
		Another fortuitous aspect of his career is that he came to Charlotte and practiced mill architecture during the entire period when the New South industrialization of the Piedmont region, primarily cotton mills, boomed from the 1880s to the 1920s.
		When R. Biberstein died in 1931, his architecture firm, which still exists under the name Biberstein, Bowles, Meacham and Reed, was taken over by his son, Herman V. Biberstein (1893-1966), a 1914 N. State graduate, who had joined the firm after college and Army service.

	University of Brighton \| Faculty of Arts and Architecture \| Research in Arts and Architecture
		The symposium invites practitioners and theoreticians from the fields of digital art and architecture, robotics, cognitive science and biology, to discuss concepts of morphogenesis as a process of constant interactions between an organism, or form, and a dynamic environment.
		The thinking of a new practice of generative arts is exploring the state space of self-breeding artefacts, while in architecture a parametric conceptualisation of space has allowed for the development of a new digital praxis.
		By seeking to establish a common ground for understanding how situated behaviour, development and learning are conceived between these disciplines, the research investigates how morphogenesis, and the presence of form, can be thought through a durational framework, where the process of becoming is not halted and gestalted but remains in flux.

		While traditional architecture tends to be based on permanence and geometric certitude, virtual architecture uses digital technologies to augment real events, time, and space.
		Virtual architecture does not represent or attempt to imitate any facets of ‘real’ building; instead, it is architecturally significant for other reasons.
		It is a humble attempt at rethinking and expanding upon extant notions of architecture, geometry, space, time, and events (time, events, streaming data, etc. to come in later stages).

		The end of the twentieth century offers a unique opportunity to look back at the architecture and urbanism of the past 100 years, an era of unsurpassed social, cultural, political, economic, demographic and technological change that has profoundly impacted contemporary life.
		From this perspective, One Hundred Years of Architecture draws upon recent, groundbreaking scholarship in the field of architectural history and looks at this century as the site of an enormous range of competing and at times contradictory developments.
		The city itself is like a museum of twentieth century American architecture, and the MCA's presentation of the exhibition interweaves key developments in Chicago's architectural history within an international panorama," said Smith.

		After being laid off from his job at an architecture firm in 1931, Alfred Mosher Butts fell on hard times—he was out of work for quite some time when he decided to get creative.
		He continued to develop the game, taking the number of letter tiles drawn at a time to seven, and adding a board that assigned point values to each letter based on how common their usage was in the English language.
		Later Butts was re-hired by his architecture firm, but he continued to work on his game.

		Modern architecture cannot be understood as isolated fact, nor merely as as a “style,” and must be considered in its full historicity.
		This class begins with the examination of French Enlightenment architectures followed by the study of a series of times (the nineteenth and early twentieth century) and places (Europe and America), interweaving modernism’s story of human intentions and hopes for a “liberated society” with an account of industrialization, urbanization, and transformations in related means of production.
		Persisting themes of twentieth century architecture (spatial openness, fluidity, functionality, tectonic articulation) are also delineated from their earliest stages of development.
