Sacred Geometry And Armenian Architecture Discussion of sacred numbers and relation to the classical temple of Garni and early churches. Part of a tour provided by Arminco. http://www.arminco-usa.com/tourarmenia/demo/geometry.htm
Extractions: Ugh! Geometry on a tour? I bet you thought you passed that class long ago. If you can bear to remember your geometry classes, you will find that the origins of mathematics and how it was used by the ancients to construct their cities and temples has not changed that much over time, it has just become more complex (and has fueled the success of hand calculators). The essentials remain the same: a circle, a square, a rectangle, and the myriad permutations of those forms. Exactly where geometry came from we are not sure, but the source has moved a little East of where people used to think it came from. From Classical Greece, where it received its most philosophic and poetic applications (and from where Western cultures inherited it), geometrys origins moved first to Egypt and Mesopotamia, and then to the Armenian plateau, where the earliest known cities are located. For without geometry, you cannot build anything, and its knowledge was key to survival, and believed to be a key to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Almost literally, geometry meant contact with the gods. It was considered a way of imitating the structure where the sun (probably the first god) and the moon (probably the second god) governed the natural order early man believed if he could map the universe, he would be able to predict the whims of gods, who sent punishing droughts, floods and pestilence on the land around him.
Extractions: The International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) , established in 1985, is a joint program of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies and the University Libraries at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). The purpose of the archive is to document the history of women's involvement in architecture by collecting, preserving, storing, and making available to researchers the professional papers of women architects, landscape architects, designers, architectural historians and critics, and urban planners, and the records of women's architectural organizations, from around the world. The IAWA focuses primarily on collecting the papers of those who practiced at a time when there were few women in the field (before the 1950's). The IAWA collects this information to fill serious gaps in the availability of primary research materials for architectural, women's, and social history research. The IAWA also collects books, biographical information, and published materials as part of its mission to act as a clearinghouse of information about all women in architecture, past and present.

Principles Of Virus Architecture Principles of Virus architecture. The complex arrangements of macromolecules in the virus shell are minute marvels of molecular architecture. http://www.uct.ac.za/depts/mmi/stannard/virarch.html
Extractions: The complex arrangements of macromolecules in the virus shell are minute marvels of molecular architecture. Specific requirements of each type of virus have resulted in a fascinating apparent diversity of organization and geometrical design. Nevertheless, there are certain common features and general principles of architecture that apply to all viruses. In 1956, Crick and Watson proposed on theoretical considerations and on the basis of rather flimsy experimental evidence then available, principles of virus structure that have been amply confirmed and universally accepted. They first pointed out that the nucleic acid in small virions was probably insufficient to code for more than a few sorts of protein molecules of limited size. The only reasonable way to build a protein shell, therefore, was to use the same type of molecule over and over again, hence their theory of identical subunits The second part of their proposal concerned the way in which the subunits must be packed in the protein shell or capsid. On general grounds it was expected that subunits would be packed so as to provide each with an identical environment. This is possible only if they are packed

Extractions: Classement des meilleurs sites, chat, sondage This site presents the Architecture Gallery in Paris and the agenda of events : current and forthcoming exhibitions, scheduled conferences. This site proposes also a virtual gallery based on the previous exhibitions since the opening of the gallery on Sept. 1999. R Un ensemble de projections vidéo diffuseront, étape par étape, les différentes phases du chantier depuis l'an 2000 jusqu'à la livraison du bâtiment en 2004, à travers l'examen du concept de détournement du " Hof " berlinois, la concrétisation de celui de la " trajectoire ", déjà expérimenté pour le concours de la bibliothèque de Jussieu (1993), ou encore la décomposition des divers matériaux utilisés à travers l'accrochage de leur échantillon.
