Deconstructivism emerged in the late 1980s as a development of postmodern architecture influenced by deconstruction theory. It is characterized by fragmented and non-rectilinear shapes that create unpredictability and controlled chaos. Peter Eisenman was a prominent American architect known for works like the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe that used disconcerting forms and angles to create an incomplete experience for viewers, reflecting his belief that parts in conflict contest the completeness of the whole.
This document discusses monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). It provides a 3 sentence summary:
Monoclonal antibodies are identical antibodies produced by identical immune cells that are clones of a single parent cell. They are produced through the fusion of antibody-producing B cells with myeloma cells to form a hybridoma that replicates indefinitely. This process allows for the mass production of antibodies that are specific to a single antigen or epitope.
This document is a lecture on facades from the architecture department at a university. It covers topics like mass vs form, primary forms seen in famous buildings, transformations of forms through different techniques, types of forms like centralized, linear, radial and clustered, and articulation and treatment of forms. It contains images and examples to illustrate each topic.

Knowledge management collaboration model for the city of jeddahKhaled Ali
油
This document proposes a knowledge management collaboration model for the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It identifies the key knowledge agents as universities, government agencies, the private sector, and the community. It discusses models of two-way and multi-directional collaboration between knowledge agents. Guidelines for a collaboration model include having a strategic vision to guide collaboration. A proposed model is presented with the goal of facilitating knowledge sharing and transfer between all key stakeholders to support the development of Jeddah as a knowledge city.
This document discusses intelligent building management systems (IBMS). It defines IBMS and outlines their key components and architecture. An IBMS centrally monitors and controls building systems like HVAC, lighting, security, and more. The document lists benefits of IBMS such as energy savings, cost reductions, improved safety and security, and increased tenant comfort. It also discusses some common issues with intelligent buildings, such as perceived high costs but also evidence they improve efficiency and are attractive to tenants.
This document discusses life safety and security considerations for different types of buildings. It begins by categorizing buildings based on their height as low-rise, mid-rise, high-rise, tall, and intelligent buildings. It then covers fire and life safety codes of practice, including the concepts covered, issues addressed, and examples of content. Specific life safety requirements and considerations for tall buildings and intelligent buildings are also discussed.
The document discusses definitions of intelligent buildings from various perspectives. Intelligent buildings are generally defined as buildings that optimize structure, systems, services and management to provide a productive and cost-effective environment for occupants through automation and integration of building systems. Definitions emphasize maximizing occupant effectiveness and efficiency of resources while minimizing costs. Key elements of intelligent buildings include automation of building functions, efficient management, comfort, safety and long-term flexibility.
This document outlines the sections and content required for a final project presentation in the Department of Architecture at King Abdulaziz University. It includes 10 main sections: statement of the problem, site analysis, concept development, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives & rendering, analysis of the design, design of the sheets, and general recommendations. For each section, it provides examples of content and recommendations, as well as examples of previous students' work. The goal is to provide guidance to students on presenting their architectural design projects.
Energy Efficient Design Education Through Architectural Design Studio ProjectsKhaled Ali
油
This document discusses an experiment conducted in an architectural design studio course to educate students about energy efficient design. The experiment tasked students with designing a zero net energy office building. Students researched energy efficient design strategies, renewable energy technologies, and simulation software. They designed building concepts for different sites in Riyadh and Jeddah that minimized energy usage and maximized on-site energy production. The experiment helped raise environmental awareness and taught students how to calculate energy consumption and production. While it faced challenges from lack of infrastructure and support, the experiment achieved its goals of developing students' skills and linking architectural design to energy issues.
Horizontal Design Studio versus Vertical Design Studio:A Tale of Two Archit...Khaled Ali
油
This document discusses and compares two approaches to design studios in architecture schools: horizontal design studios (HDS) and vertical design studios (VDS). In HDS, students of the same level take the same design courses together, while in VDS, students of multiple levels study design courses together. The document presents case studies of schools using each approach and describes a study conducted through questionnaires at two schools, one using each approach. The study aims to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to help schools maximize benefits and minimize drawbacks.
