Iconic Architecture in Dubai as Signs and Symbols February 2013 ii Abstract This study seeks to investigate the impact of architectural icons on the cities that they are built in, especially those in Dubai to understand the perceptions and associations of ordinary people with these icons, thus analysing their impact on the quality of life in the city. This is an important study with the advent of ‘iconism’ in architecture that has a growing acceptance and demand, wherein the status of a piece of architecture is predetermined as an icon by the media and not necessarily by the people.

  • List of Symbols
    Appendix A List of Symbols For convenience, many symbols frequently used in the text are listed below alphabetically. Some of the symbols may play a dual role, in which case the meaning should be obvious from the context. A number in parentheses refers to an Eq. number (or the text or footnote near that Eq. number) in which the symbol is defined or appears for the first time; in a few cases a page number, Table number, Sect. number, footnote (fn.) number, or Fig. number is given instead. Quantum number is abbreviated as q. n. Quantum numbers (atomic): Symbol Description Eq.

  • Armenian Eternity Sign
    Armenian Eternity Sign SYMBOL NAME SHORT NAME, ASSUMED PLACE IN NICK UNICODE ISO 10646 Dingbats Range 2700-27BF ETERNITY SIGN armeternity No proposed position Reason: the range is filled up History Armenian Eternity Sign is the ancient national symbol and in Armenian reality it can be met in many variations. The appearance of the Sign resembles both clockwise and anti-clockwise rotating ornament, which is composed with curves running from center of the symbol. As a rule the Sign should have eight curves, as this number stands for revival, rebirth and recurrence. However, the symbol may be represented with four and more curves as well. Right and left rotations have accordingly active and passive meanings, as in case of Swastika, and are used in order to accentuate these meanings. For example, a cradle for а boy is decorated with the right whirling eternity sign and a cradle for а girl with the left whirling eternity sign. It can be performed both two-dimensionally and three-dimensionally. Eternity Sign opens the list of symbols included in ArmSCII . Armenian Standard Code for Information Interchange, in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArmSCII Armenian Symbol of Eternity is the direct descendent of the pre-historic Swastika and has clear Armenian interpretation. It symbolizes the identity of Armenian nation suchlike a David’s star for Hebrews. The earliest roots of round whirling sun-like symbols in the Armenian Highland are rock inscriptions from the Stone Age. Ancient Armenian stone pictures (Stone Age) In Armenia the eternity sign can be found everywhere, in architecture; on doors, walls and etc.

  • What Lutherans Believe Gloria Dei Lutheran Church
    What Lutherans Believe Gloria Dei Lutheran Church Keith Chuvala, [email protected] Christian Symbols Christian Symbols are nothing new – literally! He built us to understand and to communicate through the use of symbols. The use of symbols, therefore, has been a feature of every culture in all periods of human history. God instituted and promoted the use of symbols for and amongst His people from the beginning. The meaning of any given symbol, however, is not intrinsic; symbolic meaning is always taught, passed on from person to person, generation to generation. A symbol standing alone has no use or meaning; it becomes symbolic through the explanation, and the sharing, of its meaning. Christians have always used symbols to tell people – especially each other -- about the faith. Some symbols recall a story from Jesus’ life. Others remind us about an aspect who God is and what He has done for us. For many contemporary Christians, however, the meaning of certain ancient symbols are a mystery; the inter-generational sharing of the meaning has fallen out of practice. The list of symbols presented here falls far short of being comprehensive; they are among the most common, and most ancient, of symbols. We will also look at a few predominantly Lutheran symbols and their use and meaning. They are not all exclusively Lutheran, but are more likely to be encountered in Lutheran churches than elsewhere. The Cross (Latin) (Greek) (Globus Cruciger) Biblical use: Matthew 10:38, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, 1 Corinthians 1:18, Galatians 5:11, Galatians 6:14, etc.
