	Birmingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Birmingham suffered heavy bomb damage during World War II, and partly as a result of this the city centre was extensively re-developed during the 1950s and 1960s, with many concrete office buildings, ring-roads, and now much-derided pedestrian subways.
		Birmingham's industrial heritage predates the Industrial Revolution, and up until the 20th Century the city maintained a tradition of individual craftsmen, sometimes working independently in their own back yards or on piecework rates in rented workshops, alongside larger factories.
		Birmingham's eleven constituencies are represented in the House of Commons by one Conservative, one Liberal Democrat, and 9 Labour MPs.

	Architecture of Birmingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Birmingham has existed as a settlement for over 1000 years, today's city is overwhelmingly a product of the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, with relatively little surviving from its early history.
		Birmingham's industrial importance in World War II led to some of the heaviest bombing raids during the Blitz.
		Birmingham has since learnt from this with one of the largest tower block demolition and renovation programmes anywhere in Europe, and the construction of new buildings, squares and green spaces.

		Describing the architectural theory that informed this period of urban history points to the ways in which planners rearticulated the assumed superiority of the dominant culture.
		Contemporary architectural critics are particularly poised to engage the public in the sorts of critique that may begin to reshape the built environment.
		When the earliest architectural critic, Vitruvius, wrote "in all matters, but particularly in architecture, there are those two points: the thing signified and that which gives significance" (4) he alluded to this metaphor.

		Rubbo's strengths are in her ability to work outside typical architectural studies methodologies and to speculate that the historical attribution of the architecture to Griffin and the decorative work to Mahony Griffin might not be based in fact but in habit.
		However, the compulsive assertion that Wright was the genius in the Oak Park Studio, Mahony Griffin the draftsman and Griffin the pupil awaiting his moment for individual glory is still the ascendant story in the discipline, and it mimics the telling of the Griffins' story as the story of the genius and the helpmate.
		Although much of what was written undermined her position to architecture and the architectural canon of great men and monuments, a history exists which later scholars can compare against existing primary documents.

		For instance, we have investigated whether the ability to have emotional states is an accident of animal evolution or an inevitable consequence of design requirements and constraints, for instance in resource-limited intelligent robots.
		The different components of the architecture will have evolved at different times under the influence of different sorts of evolutionary pressures and will be subject to different sorts of constraints and tradeoffs.
		That is, the architectures should accommodate and integrate a wide range of functions, such as vision and other forms of perception, various kinds of action, motivation, various kinds of learning, skilled "automatic" behaviour, explicitly planned behaviour, various kinds of problem solving, planning, self-awareness, self-criticism, changing moods, etc.

		We also do not know how many possible ways there are of implementing them in physical systems, though researchers in AI, software engineering, neuropsychology, electronic engineering, and neuroscience, in their different ways, are beginning to provide some clues, as well as generating new problems about ontological levels, varieties of causation, the nature of intentionality, etc.
		Philosophers are good at articulating what they know about but are mostly ignorant about these developments, for instance often over-emphasising input-output mappings as opposed to internal virtual machine interactions, and mistakenly assuming that there must be fairly simple relations between virtual machine entities and physical components of systems that implement them.
		For instance a new understanding of the architecture of matter helped us refine our notion of a chemical element and also made us stretch the concept of element to admit the possibility of isotopes.
