Santiago Calatrava is a Spanish architect, engineer and sculptor born in 1951 in Valencia, Spain. He earned degrees in architecture and civil engineering. Calatrava is inspired by Gothic architecture, the work of Antoni Gaudi and the human form. He is known for his sculptural buildings that blend architectural and engineering design. One of Calatrava's most famous buildings is the HSB Turning Torso in Malmo, Sweden, a 190-meter residential skyscraper that twists 90 degrees. The twisting design was inspired by the human torso. The Turning Torso exemplifies Calatrava's signature style of combining structural innovation and artistic vision.

As for high rise buildings, these are generally above six floors or stories in height. Also, most high rise buildings are 100 meters in height. (These should not be confused with “skyscrapers,” which are generally much taller, as little or as much, as 200 meters in height.
A high-rise building is a tall building, as opposed to a low-rise building and is defined differently in terms of height depending on the jurisdiction. It is used as a residential, office building, or other functions including hotel, retail, or with multiple purposes combined.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION
born on July 28, 1951 in a town of benimamet, near Valencia, Spain.
From the age of 8, he also attended the arts and crafts school,
At the age 13 he was an exchange student in France and traveled to study
in Switzerland.
He earned a degree in architecture and took a post-graduate course in
urbanism.
Being attracted by mathematics, calatrava decided to pursue post-graduate
studies in civil engineering, so he was enrolled in the federal institute of
technology in Zurich, Switzerland in 1975.
he received his doctor rate in 1979, during that period he met and married
his wife, who was a law student in Zurich.

Santiago calatrava is a man of his time; an architect of public space, who has
total conscience of the political and social function as well as the aesthetics of
it. He is a ‘monumental’ architect. This comes out of the result exactly because
he knows what public space and modernism means.

10. BUILDING FACTS
•190 metres high
•Consists of nine cubes with five floors
each.
•Together with intermediate floors a
total of 54 floors.
•Each floor has 400m² of available space.
•147 apartments from cube three to nine.
•meeting facilities on the two top floors.
•Each floor consists of a square part around the core and a triangular
part which is supported by an external steel structure.
•The entire construction twists 90 degrees on its way up with each
floor tilting by 1.6 degrees
11. MAY 2003
KEY DATES
•Ground breaking 14th Feb 2001
•Construction started June 2001
•Casting of foundation March 2002
•Foundations complete August 2002
•Completion date November 2005
JAN 2004
19. FACADE
•facade is a glass and aluminum construction
•2,800 panels and 2,250 windows
•Follow the twist of the building, the windows are
leaning either inwards or outwards by 0 to 7
degrees.
ROTATION OF FLOORS
Forms for the floors were rotated approx. 1.6
degrees for each floor in order to create the
characteristic twist of the building.
20. OUTER STEEL SUPORT AND
SPINE
•The steel support is a welded construction with
a very thorough paint treatment for optimal
protection against corrosion.
•The outer steel support consists of a steel
column and 20 horizontal and 18 diagonal ”steel
cigars”
21. LIFTS
•3 lifts service the residential part of the
building and HSB Turning Torso Meetings
•Two separate lifts service the offices :
ensures high capacity and minimum
waiting even during “rush hour” and in
the instances when a lift is closed for
maintenance.
24. SHEETING & FOUNDATIONS
Foundation: built directly on the
limestone bedrock.
Profiled steel plates, forming the
foundation shaft, were driven 15 m.
into the ground and a further 3m into
the limestone bedrock
Concrete beams, poured at regular
intervals on the inside of the sheeting
to stabilize the steel lining against the
pressure of the soil outside
Concrete construction was poured
onto the bedrock, 30 meters in
diameter and 7 meters thick
25. CLIMBING FORMS AND BEAMS
each cube were made with socalled self-compacting concrete.
Because of its flow capacity, this
type of concrete does not need
vibrating.
38. COMMERCIAL SPACE
• The total commercial space is
approximately 4,000 m² in the lower two
cubes i.e. 10 floors.
•The commercial area has its own lifts and
all conceivable comforts in heating,
cooling and IT systems.
39. HSB Turning Torso
Meetings
• On the two top floors, 53rd and 54th.
•attractive and inspiring meeting facilities.
54. APPRAISAL
•The elemental and lyrical forms of Calatrava’s architecture, known and
loved across the globe.
•Santiago Calatrava exemplifies sculptural expression and engineering
through architecture. Calatrava’s work is like music: well orchestrated
•Although his buildings were known for their aesthetics,
they never compromised on the grounds of functionality
•built energy efficient structures
•The fact that much of his work is centred around
water which adds a further dimension to his work.
55. CRITICISM
•Often criticized for impracticality
•the mechanical instability of the structure and the
excessive weight of the bridge
•Economy
•The trainstation Gare do Oriente in Lisbon is known
for being very uncomfortable, especially with wind
and rainy weather.
