space

what definition space?like myspace???mmmmm... Space constantly encompasses our being.Though the volume of space,we move,see forms,hear sounds,feel breezes,smell the fragrances of a flower garden in bloom.It is a material substance like wood or stone.Yet it is an inherently formless vapor.Its visual form,its dimensions and space,the spatial boundaries defined by elements of form.As space begins to be captured,enclosed,molded,and organized by the elements of mass,architecture comes into being... mmm...how about space in architecture???? I have answer for this question.... MORE ABOUT SPACE IN ARCHITECTURE In music, space is immanent and not yet extant. In poetry space arises parenthetically as a epiphenomenon to words. In animation space is now present but as the backdrop for (sometimes radical) change of form in time. In dance space is used but it also recreated a second time by movement. In theatre space is still primitive, giving resonance and dimension to human action. In literature and film space is settled, taken for granted, it exists passively providing a lasting housing for events and images, but at the same time separating itself from us, becoming privileged and protected in time in literature but also in space in film. This is true too of painting but time has now been frozen out of its space, and its objects are immune from changes in our position. In sculpture,with time gone, the work enters the everyday space, offering its sheer materiality against our time.It yields to our inquiry if we confine our inquiry to changes in our position and not inquire as to its inside. In architecture space is turned inside out6. The object is no longer immune to our attempts to probe within it. It hollows itself out and seals the wound of our entry by wrapping itself around us. In the temporal arts, to be led inward by the artistic experience meant being led inwards into our time and conscious states. Painting and sculpture could lead us outwards, into themselves, as if our consciousness relocated in space. In architecture, being led inwards means being led inwards in space.Architecture is, for extended parts of the day, our de facto environment. Would it not then itself be simply an instance of the everyday reality and not an artistic reality? Yes, were it not for the fact that its true role is as a usurper of the everyday reality rather than as a continuation of it. Just as space occupied is space no longer available, no longer part of space a as a whole, so space surrounded, even though we are within it, is no longer a part of space as a whole outside the enclosure.It has been appropriated from the latter, its nature changed from outside to inside (a significant difference as we shall see shortly). Having taken over the role of the everyday environment,architecture need not imitate it. It need only be taken as if the everyday environment. It can alter features from the regular environment as it sees fit. Where other arts on the right side of the spectrum explore the spatial relations between objects, or between one part of an object and another, architecture, by being itself the space in which we are, explores the relationship between ourselves (in place of an object) and space itself. It is the art that brings us most truly into relation with space.

holism of architecture...

Holism (from ὅλος holos, a Greek word meaning all, entire, total) is the idea that all the properties of a given system (biological, chemical, social, economic, mental, linguistic, etc.) cannot be determined or explained by its component parts alone. Instead, the system as a whole determines in an important way how the parts behave. The general principle of holism was concisely summarized by Aristotle in the Metaphysics: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts." Reductionism is sometimes seen as the opposite of holism. Reductionism in science says that a complex system can be explained by reduction to its fundamental parts. Reductionism essentially claims that chemistry is reducible to physics, biology is reducible to chemistry and psychology and sociology are reducible to biology, etc. Some other proponents of reductionism, however, think that holism is the opposite only of greedy reductionism. On the other hand, holism and reductionism can also be regarded as complementary viewpoints, in which case they both would be needed to get a proper account of a given system. Applications of holism Holism in architecture and industrial design Architecture and industrial design are often seen as enterprises, which constitute a whole, or to put it another way, design is often argued to be an holistic enterprise.[9] In architecture and industrial design holism tends to imply an all-inclusive design perspective, which is often regarded as somewhat exclusive to the two design professions. Holism is often considered as something that sets architects and industrial designers apart from other professions that participate in design projects. This view is supported and advocated by practising designers and design scholars alike, who often argue that architecture and/or industrial design have a distinct holistic character. Holism in education reform The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives identifies many levels of cognitive functioning, which can be used to create a more holistic education. In authentic assessment, rather than using computers to score multiple choice test, a standards based assessment uses trained scorers to score open-response items using holistic scoring methods.[10] In projects such as the North Carolina Writing Project, scorers are instructed not to count errors, or count numbers of points or supporting statements. The scorer is instead, instruct to judge holistically whether "as a whole" is it more a "2" or a "3". Critics question whether such a process can be as objective as computer scoring, and the degree to which such scoring methods can result in different scores from different scorers. Holism in medicine Holism appears in psychosomatic medicine. In the 1970s the holistic approach was considered one possible way to conceptualize psychosomatic phenomena. Instead of charting one-way causal links from psyche to soma, or vice-versa, it aimed at a systemic model, where multiple biological, psychological and social factors were seen as interlinked. Other, alternative approaches at that time were psychosomatic and somatopsychic approaches, which concentrated on causal links only from psyche to soma, or from soma to psyche, respectively.[11] At present it is commonplace in psychosomatic medicine to state that psyche and soma cannot really be separated for practical or theoretical purposes. A disturbance on any level - somatic, psychic, or social - will radiate to all the other levels, too. In this sense, psychosomatic thinking is similar to the biopsychosocial model of medicine. In alternative medicine, an holistic approach to healing recognizes that the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical elements of each person comprise a system, and attempts to treat the whole person in its context,[12] concentrating on the cause of the illness as well as symptoms. Examples of such holistic therapies include Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, Chiropractic, Osteopathic manipulation, Naturopathic medicine, Qi Gong, Reiki, and Reflexology. Some of these schools do not originate from the western medical-scientific tradition, and lack scientific evidence to verify their claims. Others, such as osteopathic medicine, make an attempt to blend allopathic medicine with other modalities. Holistic Music Holism in music can be seen as a gradual layering of different sounds allowing the distinction of the parts before a harmony or euphoria is reached when combined. Often disguised in genres such as IDM, downtempo or glitch; it is also used in a more minimal form for various healing therapies. A modern former of the Holistic religion is the quietly spoken DeeJay Manticore. HOLISM...???

who give architect name???

What is an architecture..??Definition an architect is a licensed professional who organizes space. Architects design houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, landscapes, and even entire cities. Architects are trained in many areas, from historic preservation to structural engineering. Like doctors and lawyers, architects have completed university programs and lengthy internships. In most parts of the world, architects must pass a series of rigorous exams in order be licensed. In North America, the initials RA designate a registered, or licensed, architect.
What is architecture? Architecture is a widely-used term within software development yet is very hard to define rigorously. Indeed, it changes meaning from domain to domain, company to company, project to project and even from employee to employee. Towards a definition of architecture The term "architecture" must be disambiguated from that of domains other than software. For example, the building industry is the natural home of the title "architect", so much so that local laws can restrict its use to certified or accredited professionals in that industry. The intent of such restrictions is usually to prevent someone fraudulently representing themselves as sufficiently skilled to design a building but has, on occasion, led to criticism of software professionals for stealing the term1. Architecture helps you meet your requirements A simplistic view of architecture is to consider why it exists: architecture is one of the means by which your project's requirements are met. Of course there are numerous aspects of software development that contribute to the requirements being met. Architecture provides structure to the development, improving the control so the project can be delivered with greater certainty. Architecture also draws on industry best practice and creates a blueprint for implementation to reduce the risk and cost inherent in the project. Architecture achieves many of its goals using what is often referred to as "design". It's therefore important to understand what "design" is and how it relates to architecture. As a noun, design is the named (although sometimes unnamable) structure or behavior of a system whose presence resolves or contributes to the resolution of a force or forces on that system. A design thus represents one point in a potential decision space. A design may be singular (representing a leaf decision) or it may be collective (representing a set of other decisions). While certainly not definitive, Booch's succinct description does highlight some of the key features of design. Firstly, the design exists to resolve a force on the system. Forces can be the cost, scope, resources, timescales, requirements - anything you wish to take into consideration as part of your design selection. This is to say that the design should have a purpose. As we'll see, this is an important aspect of software architecture. Secondly, a design is one of a number of possible choices for resolving a particular force on the system. Making the right choice is naturally important, especially if the architecture is to resolve the forces on the system effectively and without introducing too many of its own. Design is not peculiar to architecture, though. There are forces on all aspects of software development and deliberate means for resolving them. We therefore need to consider how design relates to architecture. Again, Grady Booch provides a good starting point. All architecture is design but not all design is architecture. Architecture represents the significant design decisions that shape a system, where significant is measured by cost of change. So perhaps we can conclude that architectural design decisions are only separated from other design decisions by how expensive a mistake would be. Therefore architecture requires more experienced, more rigorous selection to avoid these potentially costly mistakes. Summary To summarise, consider the following definition of architecture: Architecture is simply the deliberate and considered resolution of significant problems. It is still subjective, relying on a local appreciation of what is significant to your system. However, it does highlight the need for architecture to concern itself with the more significant problems - typically measured by the apparent or perceived cost of change. By coming to understand those things that are architecturally significant this definition becomes more tangible; the rest of our book provides numerous examples of those concerns that may qualify as architecturally significant so hopefully you'll be able to achieve some clarity as to what "significant" means with respect to this definition. This also highlights the need for architecture to be intentional, at least as an activity. While all systems have an architecture, if you are to undertake the role of an architect it is not sufficient simply to capture that system's architecture post-hoc.
