The document provides an introduction to the basic elements and concepts of architecture. It discusses key spatial elements like points, lines, planes and volumes that define architectural space. It describes different types of planes such as vertical wall planes, horizontal base planes that can be elevated or depressed, and overhead planes like ceilings and roofs. It explains how these different planes are used to define, articulate and organize interior and exterior spaces. Linear elements like columns, walls and structural frames are also summarized as defining edges and corners of spaces while providing structure.
Biomimicry is the imitation of nature to solve complex problems. It involves imitating models, systems, and elements from nature in various fields like sports, technology, architecture, transportation, and swarm intelligence to promote sustainability. Biomimicry draws inspiration from nature to address challenges in many areas of human endeavor.
This document outlines the contents and topics to be covered in a presentation on biomimetic architecture. The contents include an introduction to biomimicry, backgrounds on how it began, approaches to biomimicry including design to biology and biology to design. It also discusses principles of biomimicry such as nature running on sunlight and recycling everything. Steps to adopt biomimicry are provided, which include biologizing the question and developing designs inspired by nature. Case studies, analysis, applications and conclusions will also be part of the presentation.
The document discusses various ways that nature can inspire design and business practices through biomimicry. It provides examples of biomimicry in product design, including products inspired by geckos, sharks, and bullet trains. It also discusses how nature serves as a model for sustainable economies and closed-loop systems, with examples of biomimicry in architecture like the Council House 2 building in Australia.
Bentley AutoPIPE V8i is a pipe stress analysis software that enables efficient and productive design. It allows users to create and modify 3D piping models using a graphical interface. The software performs static and dynamic load calculations to verify piping code compliance. It has features for advanced analysis of buried pipelines, wave loading, plastic and fiberglass pipes. Results can be viewed graphically and shared with structural analysis and plant design software for integrated design.
The document discusses AECOsim Building Designer software for information modeling of multi-discipline building teams. It provides a unified design environment and tools to integrate disciplines, simulate buildings, model anything imaginable, and collaborate efficiently. Key capabilities include true interoperability, immersive interaction, building performance simulation, and producing trusted deliverables. Testimonials from users praise how it enables collaborative design and finding solutions.
MicroStation V8i is a software product that provides significant interoperability advantages for project teams by enabling users to overcome DWG reuse challenges and integrate DWG, DGN, and other file formats. It includes tools for geo-coordination, dynamic views, integrated printing, and intuitive 3D modeling to help teams design, visualize, and document infrastructure projects using a single software foundation. Rendering and animation capabilities provide realistic visualization of designs.
