TOWER BUILDINGS
Tower buildings are tall buildings with many floors.
2. Tower buildings have been a fascination for people; for engineer it is a challenge to build structure that rises hundred of feet above the ground.
3.The great pyramid of Giza built at 25600 BC stood at 146.5 meters and was Tallest man-made structure in the world for ever 3,800 years
4.Burj Khalifa at an astonishing height of 829.8m in Dubai is the current tallest man made structure.
Superman
Superman believed that the heat from cities and strong winds blowing into urban areas could be harnessed for transportation and electricity generation. He demonstrated sailing and "paragliding" using the urban heat island effect winds and wanted Americans to learn these skills for daily transportation. However, his ideas were overlooked as window technology advanced, trapping more heat inside buildings, and kryptonite was marketed to cover building exteriors instead of harnessing the wind power and urban convection currents. Today, buildings generate little electricity and Superman's plan could have tapped into more renewable energy from cities.

seminar report
The document is a seminar report on prefabricated skyscrapers submitted by a student. It includes an abstract, introduction, history of prefabrication and skyscrapers, process of prefabrication, comparison to conventional construction, limitations, examples of prefabricated components used in skyscrapers, and a conclusion. The introduction defines prefabrication as assembling building components in a factory and transporting them to the construction site for assembly. It also defines skyscrapers as tall buildings over 40-50 floors used for offices, commercial, and residential purposes.
Birth of skyscrapers
The document discusses the history and development of skyscrapers, beginning with their origins in late 19th century Chicago. It describes how the invention of safe elevators and new steel-frame construction techniques enabled the first tall office buildings. Skyscrapers continued getting taller through the 20th century by using stronger materials like steel and concrete. Important skyscrapers discussed include the World Trade Center towers in New York and the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
The Dynamic tower of Dubai (The Vinci Tower)
The Dynamic Tower in Dubai will be 420 meters tall with 80 floors. It will house luxury apartments ranging from 124 to 1200 square meters, as well as offices on the lower floors and a luxury hotel between floors 21 to 35. The top 10 floors will contain villas. Each floor of the Dynamic Tower will be able to rotate independently, powered by solar energy and wind turbines, with the goal of creating a dynamic living experience that follows the rhythms of nature.
Skyscrapers
Skysrapers became possible with the development of elevators and steel frameworks in the late 19th century. Some of the earliest skyscrapers included the Home Insurance Building in Chicago from 1884 and 15 Park Row in New York from 1899. In the early 20th century, many iconic skyscrapers were built, including the Chrysler Building and Empire State Building in New York. After World War 2, the International Style emerged, characterized by steel and glass structures like Lever House in New York. In the late 20th century, postmodernism and rapid development in East Asia led to new supertall skyscrapers, with Dubai's Burj Khalifa the current tallest at 828 meters.

Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.
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.
