Arabic / Islamic architecture It is obviously a concrete frame construction and owes its origins to the development of British architecture in the Indian sub-continent with its reliance on shading and cross-ventilation. In the centre of Doha there was – and still is – a very different form of architecture, al Kut, the Turkish fort constructed on rising ground south of the suq. This photograph is of the new hospital built at Rumeillah, on the slightly higher ground and western edge of Doha in the fifties. www.catnaps.org /islamic/islaqatold.html   (3085 words)

[MSc Naval Architecture — Background] The history of naval architecture starts with Fredrik Chapman, who was born in Sweden 1721 into a navy and shipbuilding family. The first school based on the ideas of Chapman was military, but already in the 19th century this school gave birth to the first civil institute of naval architecture in Karlskrona in South Sweden. These products include offshore platforms (technology), propellers, and water jets, hatch covers, marine electronics, ventilation systems, lifting equipment and other cargo handling equipment and yachts. www.na.chalmers.se /MSc/background.html   (480 words)

Germar Rudolf: The Rudolf Report This is a strong indication that before this time there were neither gas-tight doors and windows nor any other openings for ventilation installations or for any other purpose (Zyklon introduction holes); otherwise such old openings would have been used for this purpose, or their filling would have been mentioned. "The architecture designed to enact the metamorphosis from Mensch to Untermensch was intact when the Soviets liberated the camp in 1945. The partitions in the air-raid shelter, including the wall to the washroom, which was, however, never part of the morgue (the later 'gas chamber'), were torn down. vho.org /GB/Books/trr/5.html   (480 words)

Architecture The effect of religion and custom on the vernacular architecture of Dubai is another reason why the rooms of the house generally opened into the courtyard, leaving the exterior walls with very few, if any, openings, except some ventilation holes high up in the wall, as Islamic teaching promotes privacy and modesty. The traditional vernacular style of architecture in Dubai is the result of a mixture of three dominant factors: the climate (hot and humid), the religion and customs of its people, and the locally available building materials.

HistoryLink Essay:Fremont Branch, The Seattle Public Library, reopens after renovations on April 16, 2005. Daniel R. Huntington designed the Fremont Branch, located at 731 N 35th Street, in the Mission Revival style of architecture. New features included an upgraded electrical system, a new boiler, an accessible restroom for the building’s lower level, more seating, more computers, improved ventilation, and conversion of an 800-square-foot storage area into a community meeting room. It is the 14th project completed as part of Libraries For All, a $196.4 million bond issue passed by Seattle voters in 1998. www.historylink.org /essays/printer_friendly/index.cfm?file_id=7316   (387 words)

Memphis Magazine :: Books :: May 2002 But the spirit too of “Sambo” Mockbee, along with the hard work of his rotating group of architecture students from Auburn University, who, together, since 1992, have made up the Rural Studio (or, as Mockbee liked to think of it and in a borrowing from Frank Lloyd Wright, “Redneck Taliesin South”). Read about how these unorthodox materials were put to good, postmodernist use: operable clerestory windows for optimum ventilation; angled timbers inspired by the shack just down the way; cantilevering roofs for maximum shade; “collapsing” roofs to suggest a bird in flight; the general spirit of collage that goes into the “deconstruction” of these buildings. For fortune, it’s true, Mockbee’s winning of a MacArthur “genius” award in 2000 didn’t hurt his reputation or his cause, nor his earning major design recognition in partnership with Memphian Coleman Coker during the ’80s, nor his posts at Harvard, Yale, and other top schools of architecture. www.memphismagazine.com /backissues/may2002/books.htm   (562 words)

Blueprints Magazine, Winter 2001, page 10 The Jubilee Campus extension of England's Nottingham University, designed by Michael Hopkins and Partners, is a milestone in green architecture, pioneering an innovative combination of mechanical and wind-driven ventilation, while also bringing together many other green strategies. Rather, they were chosen because they are complete works of architecture in which environmental responsibility is balanced with formal ambition and an enlightened vision of community.

Murcutt Murcutt also tries to design efficient buildings, not by installation of new technology but with design considerations such as raising the floor to avoid dampness, for ventilation and collecting rain in metal tanks. The architect Glenn Murcutt has an approach to his architecture that is a good basis for my research. As he states, "appropriate architecture must respond to place". www.arch.mcgill.ca /prof/mellin/arch671/winter2000/kwan/thesis/murcutt.htm   (233 words)

Iranian Cities & Provinces: Yazd The existence of special ventilation structures, called Badgirs, on the roofs is a distinctive feature of the architecture of this city (A Badgir is a high structure on the roof under which, in the interior of the building, there is a small pool). In the course of history due to its distance from important capitals and its harsh natural surrounding, Yazd remained immune to major troops' movements and destruction from wars, therefore it kept many of its traditions, city forms and architecture until recent times. Yazd was visited by Marco Polo in 1272, who described it as a good and noble city and remarked its silk production. www.iranchamber.com /cities/yazd/yazd.php   (233 words)

From Quackery to Bacteriology, Document 6 Other advocates for clean air included William Alcott, who wanted to change the architecture of school houses to improve ventilation and add outside playgrounds where students could breathe healthful air. She advocated open fireplaces and improved home ventilation, stating the "first and most indispensable requisite for health is pure air, both by day and night." She felt windows should be kept open and bed chambers kept cold to improve resistance to disease. Catharine Beecher noted a connection between poor air quality in European slums and the spread of disease. www.cl.utoledo.edu /canaday/quackery/quack6.html   (1231 words)

Valkyrie Family Supercomputers And cooling for the Valkyrie is accomplished in Style: each CPU has its own high speed heat sink and cooling fan, and each group of up to 64 processors share up to 16 secondary ventilation fans. The xb/70 ® Valkyrie is based on a powerful system architecture, MAXSYS ®, which makes advanced super-computation a breeze. The most remarkable features of xb/70's advanced architecture is that no matter how large it is scaled, an xb/70 Valkyrie system is capable of insuring "end-to-end", "many-to-many", "many-to-one", "one-to-many" and "one-to-one" communications, at speeds guaranteed not to fall below 266 MBytes per second when required, per path, for virtually all applications. accpc.com /e9.htm   (2003 words)

Fan (implement) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Fans are useful for moving large quantities of air, which is suited for applications such as winnowing grain or blowing a fire, cooling and ventilation purposes, and in conjunction with a heat source for heating and drying. A fan has two purposes – to move air for creature comfort or for ventilation and to move air or gas from one location to another for industrial purposes. A fan vault is a type of roof used in church architecture. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Fan_(implement)   (3201 words)

Architecture Coach: Dormers Shed Light on Design The deep rooflines embraced tall attic spaces that could serve as an additional floor of sleeping areas without exceeding prevailing Parisian height restrictions—if light and ventilation could somehow be introduced. The origin of dormers goes back centuries to French architect Francois Mansart (1598-1666), who introduced the Mansard style—known for its four-sided, double-pitched roof that has a lower slope that is especially steep. Here are some of the most important points to remember for dormers, so the next time you see one of these “roof” windows you’ll be able to call it by its true name. www.realtor.org /rmomag.NSF/pages/arch20050124?OpenDocument   (740 words)
