In 12th century Portugal, King Alfonso VI of Leon and Castille sought help from French nobleman Henry of Burgundy against the Moors. As a reward, he gave his daughter Teresa de Leon to Henry in marriage. Their son Afonso Henriques was born in 1109. After King Alfonso's death, Henry governed Portugal but died in 1112. Teresa remarried but faced rebellions. In 1128, Archbishop of Braga convinced the 14-year-old Afonso Henriques to lead a rebellion against his mother. They were victorious at the Battle of Sao Mamede in 1129. Afonso Henriques then took over ruling Portugal and proclaimed independence

The document outlines a proposal for a radial truss system in a building located in Bukit Cina, which incorporates circular planar trusses for quick installation and reduced fabrication costs. The design integrates various truss types to support structural loads and features a visitor center called Radiance, emphasizing connection and natural light through a central courtyard and circular skylight. The overall load capacity of the building is estimated at 86.72 metric tonnes, and it includes multiple functional spaces such as a mini theatre, gallery, and rooftop cafe.

I. The fire alarm system uses a two-stage alarm to reduce undue distress for the elderly. Activation of any smoke detector or manual pull station causes an alert signal, while full alarm activation requires a key switch.
II. Speakers and strobes are installed throughout the building to signal occupants in the event of fire. Chime strobes are installed in common areas for hearing-impaired elders.
III. Manual pull stations are spaced at 25m or less and mounted at lower heights for accessibility. More stations are installed given the elderly may have limited mobility during evacuation.
This document presents a report on the historically significant annex building of the former Istana Negara, focusing on its architectural features and documentation gathered during a five-day fieldwork. The building, originally a mansion, is now a royal museum reflecting Malaysia's colonial past and architectural evolution, with attention given to its potential as a tourist attraction. The report includes measured drawings, written narratives, and analyses regarding the building's history, design influences, and condition.

The document provides a photo book tour of the Royal Museum located within the Istana Negara in Malaysia. It includes over a dozen photos with captions describing the exterior and interior spaces of the museum, including the facade, throne room, family rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, corridors, gardens, and decorative elements. The style is a blend of British colonial, Victorian, and modern influences that create an opulent but modest atmosphere befitting a royal palace.
The document provides an analysis of the Menara Tabung Haji building in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Precedent Study and analysis for PantheonLovie Tey

The Pantheon in Rome was built in 126 AD as a Roman temple but later converted to a church. It was constructed out of lighter materials at the top of the dome to reduce weight. Key features include the dome, oculus, and coffers. The dimensions of the interior space and dome are the same, showing architectural harmony. It remains an impressive example of advanced Roman engineering.
The document summarizes a group project on social psychology concepts conducted by five students. They created a storyboard applying concepts like first impressions, stereotypes, and biases. The story is about a girl who judges a well-dressed man in a coffee shop positively based on his appearance. She assumes he is rich despite not knowing him. The group filmed scenes at a coffee shop demonstrating how biases influence perceptions. They researched definitions of concepts used and acknowledged help from their lecturer and others involved in the project.
The document discusses several concepts from social psychology:
- First impressions form based on initial interactions and appearances
- Stereotypes involve generalizing people into groups based on single attributes
- Confirmation bias and the halo effect lead people to seek and favor information that confirms their preexisting beliefs
- Optimistic bias involves underestimating the likelihood of negative events
- Aggression can include verbal and physical harm toward others
- Balance theory suggests people develop relationships to maintain consistent beliefs about themselves and others.
This document discusses 5 concepts from social psychology: extrinsic motivation, social facilitation, stereotyping and racism, altruism, and self-serving bias. For each concept, it provides a definition and explanation based on a comic about a basketball captain. The captain was extrinsically motivated to win, his performance was facilitated by the crowd, racism was shown when an injured player wasn't helped, one audience member helped altruistically, and the captain displayed self-serving bias by blaming others after losing.
This document contains a student's journal entries for a Social Psychology course. It discusses several topics:
1) The student's first lecture on confirmation bias and how they realized it applied to feelings of parental neglect after a sibling was born.
2) An example of social learning from a friend's addiction to cigarettes due to influences from their divorced parents and stepmother.
3) The student's experience with parental motivation after failing to meet expectations in school but eventually achieving good results.
4) Choosing a career in architecture over policing due to inspiration from design quotes and parental recommendation.
