The document discusses the history and engineering of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It describes how the tower began tilting during construction in the 12th century due to unstable soil underneath the foundation. Efforts over the centuries to stabilize the tower by adding supports on the upper floors and balancing the weight distribution were described. Modern engineering interventions in the 1990s, such as adding steel cables and lead ingots, successfully halted the tower's inclination and prevented collapse.
Roman architecture
The Romans borrowed architectural styles from the Greeks and Etruscans but improved on techniques like arches and vaults. They utilized materials like concrete, stone, marble and various tools to construct impressive buildings like the Colosseum amphitheater, Thermae of Caracalla baths, and the Pantheon temple. The Romans advanced architecture through their innovative use of arches, domes, vaults and aqueducts to create substantial structures that are still standing today.
Pantheon Rome
The Pantheon is the oldest building in the world, which is in continue use for about 2000 years. It also highlighted Roman engineering advances.

Roman Architecture - Arches
Romans widely used arches in their architecture to provide strength and support. They built aqueducts with arches to transport water from distant sources into cities, as urban populations grew. Aqueducts consisted of stone channels and underground concrete tunnels supported by arches. Romans also incorporated arches into buildings, victory arches, and amphitheaters like the Colosseum. The keystone at the top of an arch locks the wedge-shaped voussoirs into a stable semi-circular structure that transfers weight down buttresses into the ground.
Roman Architecture
The Roman Pantheon was built in 118-125 CE and brought Roman concrete vaulted architecture to its highest level of refinement. The circular building has a traditional temple façade but behind is a drum-shaped interior topped by a hemispherical dome, the largest ever built in antiquity. The interior space is vast and spectacular, with a coffered dome and central oculus flooding light. The Pantheon exemplified differences between Greek and Roman architecture, with Romans emphasizing grand interior spaces using vaults and concrete rather than Greek stone construction and exterior harmony.
The Pantheon
The document discusses the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. It was originally commissioned as a temple by Marcus Agrippa but was later rebuilt by Emperor Hadrian in 126 AD. The Pantheon has a large circular structure with a portico and rotunda beneath a concrete dome with an oculus. It remains the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome nearly 2,000 years later. The building also provides details about its architectural characteristics and history.
Classical Architecture
Classical architecture originated in ancient Greece and Rome, known for its symmetry, columns, and ornate decorations. It began as early as 700 BC and spread across Europe. The Greeks developed three main column styles - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - which were later adopted by the Romans. Famous classical structures include the Parthenon and Roman Colosseum, demonstrating the architectural skills of those civilizations through grand scales and intricate details. This style emphasized order and was used for both civic and religious buildings to showcase power and please the gods.

A workshop hosted by the South African Journal of Science aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers with little or no experience in writing and publishing journal articles.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Something of the prairie house is here still; and we might also detect a grudging recognition of the International Style in the interlocking geometry of the planes and the flat, textureless surface of the main shelves. But the house is thoroughly fused with its site and, inside, the rough stone walls and the flagged floors are of an elemental ruggedness."
