what is ARCHITECTURE

what is architecture really about,

 if u read MR.CHINGs book (FRANCIS D.K. CHING) ul find that according to him

architecture is generally conceived,desighn, realize, built in responce to existing set of condition........ and etc. and MR.WIKI( the wikepedia) says that is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction......and so on..

ACCORDING TO ME well obviosly us part4's hve so little experiance in this so called architecture besides reading and those projects given by lecturers do we really breath/sleep/eat architecture?

i can honestly say i seldom do.and by that my opinion on what architecture is?, is really really INVALID but this is what i can say about architecture.

Its not just creating or making something new, its about looking back at the past designes, learning from the previous era's or even learning from our own mistakes,

 ironicly its also about teamwork. even antoni gaudi must have had help to achieve casa batlo,la sagrada familia and so on. its about evolving, and obviously its not just about buildings and houses. THROUGH OUT PART3 AND 4 what we did learn was: architecture IS NOT ONLY EXTERNAL its WHOLESOME inside and also out.

no doubt art and science has a big part in architecture but THE MOST CHALLANGE IS no design is ever right nor wrong whos to say all of antoni gaudi's building are wrong just becouse it wierd?infact hes an iconic architect, so i guess what im trying to say is its also about design suit to function. As i said earlier i have so little experiance and obviously more reading should be done among us archi youth.

2 weeks and 11 days in the Hospital

around the hosptls emergency doors are used evrywhere

the height and width of every treating aquipment is also taken consideration, in the ceiling height.





i was given the chance an opportunity by god ALLAH swt to take care of by bed ridden grndmum who i dearly call tok. as i continue i will try to make this architectural related as much as i can.

as u can see the first picture.i loved that window. i think every patient should have one unfortunately only the patient in rooms get a window others just have cubicles. i bet the patient in the cubicle doesnt even know if it was daylight or dawn. that window was the only way i knew if it was raining/shining.

the widows in hospitals are taller then our domestic ones. and HEY Ud NEVER think that what ever we learned in archi SN actually does apply,remember when we learned BUILDING BY LAW part4 archi sn EVERRY ROOM USED FOR ACCOMODATION OF PATIENT IN A HOSPITAL SHALL BE provided with natural ventilation and natural light by means 1/more window having a total area of not less than 15% of a clear loor area of such rooms and shall have openings capable allowing  a free indirupted passage of air not less than 10% 0r 5% i forgot hee o such floor area.

the second picture i wanted to emphasise on the door here a quiry DO YOU KNOW WHY HOSPITALS USE BRASS DOOR KNOBS RATHER THEN OTHER METALS?

BECOUSE BACTERIA CAN NOT LIVE AS LONG IN BRASS COMPARED TO OTHER METALS, yah i just knew that too.


MORE INFORMATION SEARCHED ONLINE:

Hospitals are the most complex of building type. Each hospital has a wide range of services and functional units.

These would include diagnostic and treatment functions, such as clinical laboratories, imaging as in the x-ray room, emergency rooms, and surgery; hospitality functions, such as food service (cafeteria)(and the kitchen built in just for preparing patients meal)  and also housekeeping.

Each of the wide-ranging and constantly evolving functions of a hospital, including highly complicated mechanical, electrical, and telecommunications systems, requires specialized knowledge and expertise.

NO one person can reasonably have complete knowledge, which is why specialized consultants play an important role in hospital planning and design. This proves that architects can never work alone teamwork and accomplishing together is key.


AND THE LAST LESSON LEARNED is ALLAH swt is almighty and anything can happen to us in a blink of an eye,lets just remember we wont be young forever.
