That addition represents her work as a master builder/designer and is significant for its mid-century modern architecture. The small town of Carmel, Indiana, is located north about 16 miles north of Indianapolis in Hamilton County. The town was originally platted by Quakers as Bethlehem in 1837. In 1846, the year that it gained a post office it became Carmel. The small town, surrounded by farms incorporated in 1874 and by 1901 had several businesses, a newspaper, and its own bank. In 1937 Carmel turned 100 years old. It had a population of 682 that year.1 By 1950, Carmel counted not quite 1,500 residents and remained a small farming community, but it was

  • As Seen Here in These Pictures of Ranch Houses in Just One Small Community. T
    1 Ranch Houses in Georgia: A Guide to Architectural Styles May 2010 Richard Cloues, Ph.D. 2 Ranch Houses in Georgia come in a wide variety – as seen here in these pictures of Ranch Houses in just one small community. 3 Their diversity is extreme -- more so than any other kind of historic house -- and sometimes perplexing. 4 And yet there are recurring patterns of outward appearances and underlying forms. 5 The outward appearances are indicative of different architectural styles applied to Ranch Houses. 6 The variations in the underlying forms of Ranch Houses reveal different Ranch House types (or sub- types). 7 This presentation is about architectural styles. (A complementary presentation discusses the various types of Ranch Houses in Georgia.) 8 It builds upon the residential architectural styles first identified in the 1991 Georgia's Living Places report. In that report, architectural style is defined in two ways: 9 (1) the decoration or ornamentation that has been put on a house in a systematic pattern or arrangement to create a specific visual effect; and/or (2) the overall design of a house including proportions, scale, massing, symmetry or asymmetry, and the relationship among parts such as solids and voids or height, depth, and width. 10 With this definition of architectural style in mind, let’s get our Ranch House identification kit and look at the different architectural styles found on Georgia's Ranch Houses. 11A Four architectural styles predominate: Contemporary the Contemporary (or Eichleresque "California" Contemporary), Rustic (Western) the Eichleresque (or Colonial Revival "Eichler"), the Rustic (or "Western"), and the Colonial Revival.

    Catalogue of an Exhibition of Drawings from the Queensland ArchitecturalArchive in the Fryer Memorial Library University of Queensland Published with the assistance of the Friends of the Fryer Library University of Queensland Library St. Lucia 1988 Catalogue of an exhibition Held at the Brisbane City Hall ArtGallery and Museum 1-29 June 1988 ISBN 0 �71 10 6 Researchedand written by Don Watson and FionaGardinet. 2 FOREWORD In April1986the University of Queensland Library submittedto the DesignBoard of the AustraliaCouncil a proposal for assistance in a project to collect Queensland architecturalrecords. The decision to supportthe development of architectural collectionswas made by the Library for a numberof reasons. New interestin the nation's history had led to greater appreciationof the significanceof buildingsas social and culturalrecords. Two collections of records were already held in the Fryer Library- one from the firm A.B. and R.M. Wilson, established inBrisbane in1884, and the other fromthe architect I<arl Langer. The use made of these collections by architects,social historians and students of the finearts attested to their research value. Two years previously, in1984, the Library had published 'A Directory of Queensland Architectsto 1940'by DonaldWatson and Judith McKay. Through this project it was aware of the existence of valuable collectionsof architecturalrecords. No organisation was systematically collecting in this area and there was the need to ensure that thisimportant part of Queensland's heritage was preserved for future research. As a result of the grant received from the Design Board,the Fryer Library has acquired a fine collection of architectural records. The collectiondates fromthe last two decades of the nineteenth century but is particularlystrong in the period between the two world wars.

  • Architectural Styles/Types
    Architectural Findings Summary of Architectural Trends 1940‐70 National architectural trends are evident within the survey area. The breakdown of mid‐20th‐ century styles and building types in the Architectural Findings section gives more detail about the Dayton metropolitan area’s built environment and its place within national architectural developments. In American Architecture: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, Cyril Harris defines Modern architecture as “A loosely applied term, used since the late 19th century, for buildings, in any of number of styles, in which emphasis in design is placed on functionalism, rationalism, and up‐to‐date methods of construction; in contrast with architectural styles based on historical precedents and traditional ways of building. Often includes Art Deco, Art Moderne, Bauhaus, Contemporary style, International Style, Organic architecture, and Streamline Moderne.” (Harris 217) The debate over traditional styles versus those without historic precedent had been occurring within the architectural community since the late 19th century when Louis Sullivan declared that form should follow function and Frank Lloyd Wright argued for a purely American expression of design that eschewed European influence. In 1940, as America was about to enter the middle decades of the 20th century, architects battled over the merits of traditional versus modern design. Both the traditional Period Revival, or conservative styles, and the early 20th‐century Modern styles lingered into the 1940s. Period revival styles, popular for decades, could still be found on commercial, governmental, institutional, and residential buildings. Among these styles were the Colonial Revival and its multiple variations, the Tudor Revival, and the Neo‐Classical Revival. As the century progressed, the Colonial Revival in particular would remain popular, used as ornament for Cape Cod and Ranch houses, apartment buildings, and commercial buildings.

  • Roofs Modeling Assign
    Name: __________________________ Roofs Modeling Assign Directions: Using cardstock, you will create models of different roof designs. 1. You must model: a. Flat Roof b. Shed Roof c. Gable Roof d. Hip Roof 2. Choose 2 other roof styles from the list to model. 3. All structures will have a 2” x 2” base unless you choose to model the Cross Gabled Roof or the Cross Hipped Roof. 4. Add tabs for gluing. 5. All Models will be evenly spaced on an 11x17 piece of cardstock. The primary function of any roof is protection from the elements. The type of roof is determined by the climatic conditions and architectural style. In some regions roofs must be designed to shed and bear weight of snow and ice. These types of roofs have more pitch or curvature. Whatever the area, it is essential to plan the roof carefully to enhance the design of the structure. Roof overhangs are designed to add to the appearance of a building and to protect the upper walls from moisture. Overhang on ranch style buildings may provide shelter and shade for outdoor walks. A flat roof is used on more contemporary homes. It requires the least cost for materials and labor, but a flat roof requires special care in sealing against leaks. The shed roof is the simplest form of roof construction. It has one slope, usually to the rear of the building and the greater overhang in the front. A shed roof is is inexpensive to construct. A variety of the shed roof is the monitor. It is a combination of two shed roofs, with skylights between the two roof levels.

It protects the building and its parts from the effects of weather. Structures that require roofs range from a letter box to a cathedral or stadium, dwellings being the most numerous. In most countries a roof protects primarily against rain. Depending upon the nature of the building, the roof may also protect against heat, against sunlight, against cold and against wind Components or Elements of Pitched Roofs 1. Span Span of roof is the clear distance between the two supports on which roof is positioned by some other elements. 2. Ridge The apex of the angle which is developed at top by the inclined surfaces at the top of slope. 3. Rise The vertical distance or height of top of ridge from wall plate is called as rise. 4. Wall plates Wall plates are provided at top of wall or supports. And these are generally made of wood and are used to fix the common rafters. 5. Pitch Pitch is nothing but slope of roof with the horizontal plane and is calculated as the ration of rise to span. 6. Eaves The bottom edge of sloped roof surface is called as eaves from which rain water is drops down during raining.

  • Some Common Roof Leaks & How to Fix Them
    SOME COMMON ROOF LEAKS & HOW TO FIX THEM 1 HOW TO FIND AND FIX A ROOF LEAK There are two super important fundamentals to be successful in repairing leaks. LOOK Firstly, and most importantly is the ability to be able to "look". Sounds simple and it is but it takes some practice to really do this well. What do I mean by "look"? Well, just that. Don't do anything else. Don’t think. Don’t move things. Don’t throw water around, just look. Don’t have a preconceived idea of what is causing the leak. Take a few minutes and just observe the roof and the leak area. Look at where the leak is coming through and then look at the roof. 90% of roof leaks are within 1 square metre of where the leak shows up on the ceiling. If you ceiling is on a slope, the leak can often be higher up. Something should suddenly occur to you as the most likely cause of the water leak. If, after a few minutes of just looking (and you really have to discipline yourself here - no doing anything else!) you still have no idea where the water is coming from you need to get more information. Find out how long this leak has been occurring, if it happens in light rain, heavy rain or long duration rain, or all rains? Or does it only happen when it is also windy - and if so, which direction of wind? Now go back to the roof and "look" again. Just look.

  • The Methodology of Detail to Tectonic
    The Methodology of Detail to Tectonic A thesis submitted to the University of Cincinnati Division of Research and Advanced Studies For Partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture School of Architecture and Interior Design By Fulan Zhang B.A. Architectural Studies Huazhong university of science and technology, 2002 Committee Chairs: William Williams Udo Greinacher Abstract The dichotomy between architectural conceptions and executions has been started since the architects were severed from the construction role since modern period. The architectural school education further emphasizes this deviation between conception and executions. This is due to the conventional over evaluating conception to executions and the lack of understanding the relationship between constructions and details. The insufficient understanding constructions and details led to the uncertainty of accomplishing design conception, the gap between the concept and the final executions generated control problems and deprived the power of architects. This impairing of control power of architects in projects further weakened the original design prediction and impeded the maturity of an architect. The modern techniques developed architecture to a more and more various discipline, made it impossible to be grasped all the design skills by one person, the collaboration of different divisions of architecture was inevitably became the way to handle the complexity of the architecture. However, the emphasis on efficiency and cooperation led the individual architects’ lack of comprehensive view of architecture. In most cases architecture is no longer the artworks of architects but the products of architectural firms. Based on the problems that mentioned above, my essay tries to find a way to combine the conception and executions together to understand architecture in a holistic way.
