A borehole is a narrow shaft bored in the ground, either vertically or horizontally. A borehole may be constructed for many different purposes, including the extraction of water, other liquids (such as petroleum) or gases (such as natural gas), as part of a geotechnical investigation, environmental site assessment, mineral exploration,temperature measurement, as a pilot hole for installing piers or underground utilities, for geothermal installations, or for underground storage of unwanted substances, e.g. in carbon capture and storage.Borehole drilling has a long history. By at least the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD), the Chinese used deep borehole drilling for mining and other projects. The British sinologist and historian Michael Loewe states that borehole sites could reach as deep as 600 m (2000 ft).[3] K.S. Tom describes the drilling process: "The Chinese method of deep drilling was accomplished by a team of men jumping on and off a beam to impact the drilling bit while the boring tool was rotated by buffalo and oxen."[4]This was the same method used for extracting petroleum in California during the 1860s (i.e. "Kicking Her Down"). A Western Han Dynasty bronze foundry discovered in Xinglong, Hebei had nearby mining shafts which reached depths of 100 m (328 ft) with spacious mining areas; the shafts and rooms were complete with a timber frame, ladders and iron tools. By the first century BC, Chinese craftsmen cast iron drill bits and drillers were able to drill boreholes up to 4800 feet (1500 m) deep.[8][9][10] By the eleventh century AD, the Chinese were able to drill boreholes up to 3000 feet in depth. Drilling for boreholes was time consuming and long. As the depth of the holes varied, the drilling of a single well could last nearly one full decade.[4] It wasn't up until the 19th century that Europe and the West would catch up and rival ancient Chinese borehole drilling technology.

Adobe (US: /əˈdoʊbi/ , UK: /əˈdoʊb/; Spanish: [aˈðoβe]) is a building material made from earth and other organic materials. Adobe means mudbrick in Spanish, but in some English-speaking regions of Spanish heritage, the term is used to refer to any kind of earth construction. Most adobe buildings are similar in appearance to cob and rammed earthbuildings. Adobe is among the earliest building materials, and is used throughout the world.The largest structure ever made from adobe is the Arg-é Bam built by the Achaemenid Empire. Other large adobe structures are the Huaca del Sol in Peru, with 100 million signed bricks and the ciudellas of Chan Chan and Tambo Colorado, both in Peru.
泥土types
- 黏土,俗作粘土(均讀作niántǔ),是有黏性的泥土,一般指颗粒小於2微米且可塑的多种含水硅酸铝盐矿物混合體。除了铝外,黏土还包含少量镁、铁、钠、钾和钙等元素。黏土一般由硅酸盐矿物在地球表面风化后形成。但是有些成岩作用也会产生黏土。在这些过程中黏土的出现可以作为成岩作用进展的指示。黏土也可由麵粉等做成。所有有黏性且可塑型的物質均稱黏土。Clay is a finely-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with possible traces of quartz (SiO2), metal oxides (Al2O3 , MgO etc.) and organic matter. Geologic clay deposits are mostly composed of phyllosilicate mineralscontaining variable amounts of water trapped in the mineral structure. Clays are plastic due to particle size and geometry as well as water content, and become hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing.[1][2][3] Depending on the soil's content in which it is found, clay can appear in various colours from white to dull grey or brown to deep orange-red.Mixtures of sand, silt and less than 40% clay are called loam. Loam makes good soil and is used as a building material.
- Silt is granular material of a size between sand and clay, whose mineral origin is quartz[1] and feldspar. Silt may occur as a soil (often mixed with sand or clay) or as sediment mixed in suspension with water (also known as a suspended load) and soil in a body of water such as a river. It may also exist as soil deposited at the bottom of a water body, like mudflows from landslides. Silt has a moderate specific area with a typically non-sticky, plastic feel. Silt usually has a floury feel when dry, and a slippery feel when wet. Silt can be visually observed with a hand lens, exhibiting a sparkly appearance. It also can be felt by the tongue as granular when placed on the front teeth (even when mixed with clay particles).淤泥(Silt),又稱沉泥或粉土,是泥土的基本組成成份之一。地質學中,淤泥是介於沙土及黏土之間,長約2到62微米、直徑4到9微米的一種顆粒狀物料,主要由石英及长石這兩種礦物組成。
- Sand is a granular material composed of finely divided rock and mineral particles. It is defined by size, being finer than gravel and coarser than silt. Sand can also refer to a textural class of soil or soil type; i.e., a soil containing more than 85 percent sand-sized particles by mass. The composition of sand varies, depending on the local rock sources and conditions, but the most common constituent of sand in inland continental settings and non-tropical coastal settings is silica (silicon dioxide, or SiO2), usually in the form of quartz. The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example, aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. For example, it is the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean. Sand is a non-renewable resource over human timescales, and sand suitable for making concrete is in high demand.[2] Desert sand, although plentiful, is not suitable for concrete, and 50 billion tons of beach sand and fossil sand is needed each year for construction.沙或作砂,為顆粒物質的一種。沙為自然出現,被分割得很細小的岩石,其尺度為0.0625至2公釐。於此一尺度內的單一粒子稱為沙粒。地質學下一個更小的尺度分類為泥,其顆粒大小由0.004至0.0625公釐。下一個較大的尺度分類則為礫,其顆粒大小為2至64公釐(使用標準詳見粒徑)。用手指搓揉沙子時會有沙沙的感覺(泥則會有粉末的感覺)。
- gravel砾石是指平均粒径大于2毫米,小于64毫米的岩石或矿物碎屑物,地质学中将粒径小于2毫米的定义为砂,大于64毫米至256毫米的为卵石。砾石可以细分为细砾(粒径为2-10毫米),粗砾(10-100毫米)和巨砾(大于100毫米);典型的砾石比重为1800千克/每立方米。砾石由暴露在地表的岩石经过风化作用而成;常沉积在山麓和山前地带;或由于岩石被水侵蚀破碎后,经河流冲刷沉积后产生;砾石胶结后形成砾岩或角砾岩。砾石可用来铺路,目前全球的砾石路总长甚至超过水泥路和沥青路总合。细砾还是制作混凝土的重要材料。
Rammed earth, also known as taipa[1] in Portuguese, tapial or tapia in Spanish, pisé (de terre) in French and partly Italian, and hangtu (夯土; pinyin: hāngtǔ), is a technique for constructing foundations, floors, and walls using natural raw materials such as earth, chalk, lime, or gravel.[2] It is an ancient method that has been revived recently as a sustainable building method. Edifices formed of rammed earth are on every continent except Antarctica, in a range of environments including temperate, wet,[3] semiarid desert, montane, and tropical regions. The availability of suitable soil and a building design appropriate for local climatic conditions are the factors that favour its use.夯土[1]是一类建築材料。表示紅泥、粗砂、石灰块的三合土中的空隙经过夯實的动作之后变得更结实。是土材質中較為結實的建材,在古代是城牆、宮室常用的建材,在中國,最早在龍山文化已能掌握夯土的技術。是客家土樓所呈現的土黃色外觀。夯土兩字也常作为动词使用,表现一种使用重物将泥土中空隙去除的动作,这种动作使泥土变得更结实。夯是动词,与“砸”的动作相似。但是夯所使用的重物通常较重,超过一个人负重的能力,通常由数个人同时进行。与夯土类似的词,还有夯实:将物体(主要指泥土)砸得更结实。

Roman concrete, also called opus caementicium, was a material used in construction during the late Roman Republic until the fading of the Roman Empire. Roman concrete was based on a hydraulic-setting cement. Recently, it has been found that it materially differs in several ways from modern concrete which is based on Portland cement. Roman concrete is durable due to its incorporation of volcanic ash, which prevents cracks from spreading. By the middle of the 1st century, the material was used frequently, often brick-faced, although variations in aggregate allowed different arrangements of materials. Further innovative developments in the material, called the Concrete Revolution, contributed to structurally complicated forms, such as the Pantheon dome, the world's largest and oldest unreinforced concrete dome. Roman concrete was normally faced with stone or brick, and interiors might be further decorated by stucco, fresco paintings, or thin slabs of fancy colored marbles. Made up of aggregate and cement, like modern concrete, it differed in that the aggregate pieces were typically far larger than in modern concrete, often amounting to rubble, and as a result it was laid rather than poured. Some Roman concretes were able to be set underwater, which was useful for bridges and other waterside construction. It is uncertain when Roman concrete was developed, but it was clearly in widespread and customary use from about 150 BC; some scholars believe it was developed a century before that.

Precast concrete is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form" which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site and lifted into place ("tilt up"). In contrast, standard concrete is poured into site-specific forms and cured on site. Precast stone is distinguished from precast concrete using a fine aggregate in the mixture, so the final product approaches the appearance of naturally occurring rock or stone. More recently expanded polystyrene is being used as the cores to precast wall panels. This is lightweight and has better thermal insulation.
預力混凝土 Prestressed concrete is a form of concrete used in construction. It is substantially "prestressed" (compressed) during its fabrication, in a manner that strengthens it against tensile forces which will exist when in service. This compression is produced by the tensioning of high-strength "tendons" located within or adjacent to the concrete and is done to improve the performance of the concrete in service.[4] Tendons may consist of single wires, multi-wire strands or threaded bars that are most commonly made from high-tensile steels, carbon fiber or aramid fiber.[1]:52–59The essence of prestressed concrete is that once the initial compression has been applied, the resulting material has the characteristics of high-strength concrete when subject to any subsequent compression forces and of ductile high-strength steel when subject to tension forces. This can result in improved structural capacity and/or serviceabilitycompared with conventionally reinforced concrete in many situations.[5][2]:6 In a prestressed concrete member, the internal stresses are introduced in a planned manner so that the stresses resulting from the superimposed loads are counteracted to the desired degree. Prestressed concrete is used in a wide range of building and civil structures where its improved performance can allow for longer spans, reduced structural thicknesses, and material savings compared with simple reinforced concrete. Typical applications include high-rise buildings, residential slabs, foundation systems, bridge and dam structures, silos and tanks, industrial pavements and nuclear containment structures. First used in the late-nineteenth century,[1] prestressed concrete has developed beyond pre-tensioning to include post-tensioning, which occurs after the concrete is cast. Tensioning systems may be classed as either monostrand, where each tendon's strand or wire is stressed individually, or multi-strand, where all strands or wires in a tendon are stressed simultaneously.[5] Tendons may be located either within the concrete volume (internal prestressing) or wholly outside of it (external prestressing). While pre-tensioned concrete uses tendons directly bonded to the concrete, post-tensioned concrete can use either bonded or unbonded tendons.
Hempcrete or Hemplime is bio-composite material, a mixture of hemp hurds (shives) and lime (possibly including natural hydraulic lime,[1] sand, or pozzolans) which is used as a material for construction and insulation.[2] It is marketed under names like Hempcrete, Canobiote, Canosmose, and Isochanvre.[3] Hempcrete is easier to work with than traditional lime mixes and acts as an insulator and moisture regulator. It lacks the brittleness of concrete and consequently does not need expansion joints.[3] The result is a lightweight insulating material ideal for most climates as it combines insulation and thermal mass.Hempcrete has been used in France since the early 1990s to construct non-weight bearing insulating infill walls, as hempcrete does not have the requisite strength for constructing foundation and is instead supported by the frame.[4] Hempcrete was also used to renovate old buildings made of stone or lime.[5] France continues to be an avid user of hempcrete; it is growing in popularity annually.Like other plant products, hemp absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere as it grows, retaining the carbon and releasing the oxygen.
Cement
- Portland cement is the most common type of cement in general use around the world as a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar, stucco, and non-specialty grout. It was developed from other types of hydraulic lime in England in the mid 19th century, and usually originates from limestone. It is a fine powder, produced by heating limestone and clay minerals in a kiln to form clinker, grinding the clinker, and adding 2 to 3 percent of gypsum. Several types of Portland cement are available. The most common, called ordinary Portland cement (OPC), is grey, but white Portland cement is also available. Its name is derived from its similarity to Portland stone which was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It was named by Joseph Aspdin who obtained a patent for it in 1824. However, his son William Aspdin is regarded as the inventor of "modern" Portland cement due to his developments in the 1840s.
- In the manufacture of Portland cement, clinker occurs as lumps or nodules, usually 3 millimetres (0.12 in) to 25 millimetres (0.98 in) in diameter, produced by sintering (fusing together without melting to the point of liquefaction) limestone and aluminosilicate materials such as clay during the cement kiln stage.Clinker consists of various calcium silicates including alite and belite. Tricalcium aluminate and calcium aluminoferrite are other common components. These components are often generated in situ by heating various clays and limestone.

三合土,顾名思义,是三种材料经过配制、夯实而得的一种建筑材料,不同的地区有不同的三合土。但其中熟石灰不可或缺,三合土存在于没有水泥或水泥奇缺的年代,所以,说三合土中有水泥是不对的。我国的地质存在大量的“亚粘土”俗称“黄土”“红土”。在有泥土地的地方,三合土的材料为:泥土、熟石灰、沙。泥土的含沙量多,则沙的量减少。熟石灰一般占30%。建筑工程中的三合土垫层采用石灰、砂(可掺入少量黏土)与碎砖的拌合料铺设,其厚度不应小于100mm,三合土中的熟化石灰颗粒、粒径不得大于5mm;砂应用中砂,并不得含有草根等有机物质;碎砖不应采用风化、酥松和有机杂质的砖料,粒径不应大于60mm [1] 。明代,有石灰、陶粉和碎石组成的“三合土”。在清代,除石灰、黏土和细砂组成的“三合土”外,还有石灰、炉渣和砂子组成的“三合土”。清代《宫式石桥做法》一书中对“三合土”的配备作了说明:“灰土即石灰与黄土之混合,或谓三合土”;“灰土按四六掺合,石灰四成,黄土六成”。以现代人眼光看,“三合土”也就是以石灰与黄土或其他火山灰质材料作为胶凝材料,以细砂、碎石或炉渣作为填料的混凝土。“三合土”与罗马的三组分砂浆,即“罗马砂浆”有许多类似之处。

The Corinthian order is the last developed of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The other two are the Doric order which was the earliest, followed by the Ionic order. When classical architecture was revived during the Renaissance, two more orders were added to the canon, the Tuscan order and the Composite order. The Corinthian, with its offshoot the Composite, is the most ornate of the orders. This architectural style is characterized by slender fluted columns and elaborate capitals decorated with acanthus leaves and scrolls. There are many variations.
The name Corinthian is derived from the ancient Greek city of Corinth, although the style had its own model in Roman practice, following precedents set by the Temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus (c. 2 AD). It was employed in southern Gaul at the Maison Carrée, Nîmes (illustration, below) and at the comparable podium temple at Vienne. Other prime examples noted by Mark Wilson Jones are the lower order of the Basilica Ulpia and the arch at Ancona (both of the reign of Trajan, 98–117 AD) the "column of Phocas" (re-erected in Late Antiquity but 2nd century in origin), and the "Temple of Bacchus" at Baalbek (c. 150 AD).
The Doric order was one of the three orders of ancient Greek and later Roman architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian. The Doric is most easily recognized by the simple circular capitals at the top of columns.

- A mashrabiya (Arabic: مشربية), also either shanshūl (شنشول) or rūshān (روشان), is an architectural element which is characteristic of Arabic residences. It is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with carved wood latticework located on the second story of a building or higher, often lined with stained glass. The mashrabiya is an element of traditional Arabic architecture used since the Middle Ages up to the mid-20th century. It is most commonly used on the street side of the building; however, it may also be used internally on the sahn (courtyard) side.[1] The style may be informally known as a "harem window" in English.

-Minka (Japanese: 民家, lit. "house of the people") are vernacular houses constructed in any one of several traditional Japanese building styles. In the context of the four divisions of society, minka were the dwellings of farmers, artisans, and merchants (i.e., the three non-samurai castes). This connotation no longer exists in the modern Japanese language, and any traditional Japanese-style residence of an appropriate age could be referred to as minka.Minka are characterised by their basic structure, their roof structure and their roof shape. Minka developed through history with distinctive styles emerging in the Edo period. 民家(みんか)とは、一般の庶民が暮らす住まいのこと。支配階級、上層階級の住まい(王宮など)に対比して用いられる言葉。民屋(みんおく)ともいう。

- In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use.Formerly the word shōji was used to refer to both fusuma, formally known as karagami shōji (唐紙障子), and shōji, referred to as akari shōji (明り障子).

People
- Thomas Telford FRS, FRSE (9 August 1757 – 2 September 1834) was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and a noted road, bridge and canal builder. After establishing himself as an engineer of road and canal projects in Shropshire, he designed numerous infrastructure projects in his native Scotland, as well as harbours and tunnels. Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed The Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes), and, reflecting his command of all types of civil engineering in the early 19th century, he was elected as the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a post he retained for 14 years until his death. Telford was born on 9 August 1757 at Glendinning, a hill farm 3 miles east of Eskdalemuir Kirk, in the rural parish of Westerkirk, in Eskdale, Dumfriesshire. His father John Telford, a shepherd, died soon after Thomas was born. Thomas was raised in poverty by his mother Janet Jackson (died 1794).
- Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, who was better known as Le Corbusier (French: [lə kɔʁbyzje]; October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter,urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, and the Americas. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM). Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city ofChandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there.
- Riccardo Morandi (1 September 1902 – 25 December 1989) was an Italian civil engineer best known for his interesting use of reinforced concrete. Amongst his best known works were the General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge, an 8 km crossing of Lake Maracaibo incorporating seven cable-stayed bridge spans with unusual piers, and the Subterranean Automobile Showroom in Turin.

Architecture style
- Coptic architecture is the architecture of the Copts, who form the majority of Christians in Egypt. Coptic churches range from great cathedrals like Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral to the smallest churches in rural villages. Many ancient monasteries likeMonastery of Saint Anthony survive. Ancient churches like the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo carry important historical value to the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Copts in general.
- Byzantine architecture is the architecture of the Byzantine Empire, also known as the Later Roman or Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantine architecture was mostly influenced by Roman and Greek architecture. It began with Constantine the Great when he rebuilt the city of Byzantium and named it Constantinople[1] and continued with his building of churches [2] and the forum of Constantine. This terminology is used by modern historians to designate the medieval Roman Empire as it evolved as a distinct artistic and cultural entity centered on the new capital of Constantinople rather than the city of Rome and environs.

- The Mayan Revival is a modern architectural movement, primarily of the 1920s and 1930s,[1] that drew inspiration from the architecture and iconography of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures.
- Archigram was an avant-garde architectural group formed in the 1960s - based at the Architectural Association, London - that was neofuturistic, anti-heroic and pro-consumerist, drawing inspiration from technology in order to create a new reality that was solely expressed through hypothetical projects. The main members of the group were Peter Cook, Warren Chalk, Ron Herron, Dennis Crompton, Michael Webb and David Greene. Designer Theo Crosby was the "hidden hand" behind the group.[1] He gave them coverage in Architectural Design magazine (where he was an editor from 1953–62), brought them to the attention of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) in London, where, in 1963, they mounted an exhibition called Living Cities,[2] and in 1964 brought them into the Taylor Woodrow Design Group, which he headed, to take on experimental projects.[3] The pamphlet Archigram I was printed in 1961 to proclaim their ideas. Committed to a 'high tech', light weight, infra-structural approach that was focused towards survival technology, the group experimented with modular technology, mobility through the environment, space capsules and mass-consumer imagery. Their works offered a seductive vision of a glamorous future machine age; however, social and environmental issues were left unaddressed.

- a gargoyle (/ˈɡɑːrɡɔɪl/) is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastical animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is directed from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.

- Macadam is a type of road construction, pioneered by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam around 1820, in which single-sized crushed stone layers of small angular stones are placed in shallow lifts and compacted thoroughly. A binding layer of stone dust (crushed stone from the original material) may form; it may also, after rolling, be covered with a binder to keep dust and stones together. The method simplified what had been considered state of the art at that point.

The Corinthian order is the last developed of the three principal classical orders of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. The other two are the Doric order which was the earliest, followed by the Ionic order. When classical architecture was revived during the Renaissance, two more orders were added to the canon, the Tuscan order and the Composite order. The Corinthian, with its offshoot the Composite, is the most ornate of the orders. This architectural style is characterized by slender fluted columns and elaborate capitals decorated with acanthus leaves and scrolls. There are many variations.
The name Corinthian is derived from the ancient Greek city of Corinth, although the style had its own model in Roman practice, following precedents set by the Temple of Mars Ultor in the Forum of Augustus (c. 2 AD). It was employed in southern Gaul at the Maison Carrée, Nîmes (illustration, below) and at the comparable podium temple at Vienne. Other prime examples noted by Mark Wilson Jones are the lower order of the Basilica Ulpia and the arch at Ancona (both of the reign of Trajan, 98–117 AD) the "column of Phocas" (re-erected in Late Antiquity but 2nd century in origin), and the "Temple of Bacchus" at Baalbek (c. 150 AD).
The Doric order was one of the three orders of ancient Greek and later Roman architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian. The Doric is most easily recognized by the simple circular capitals at the top of columns.

A trullo (plural, trulli) is a traditional Apulian dry stone hut with a conical roof. Their style of construction is specific to the Itria Valley, in the Murge area of the Italian region of Apulia. Trulli were generally constructed as temporary field shelters and storehouses or as permanent dwellings by small proprietors or agricultural labourers. In the town of Alberobello, in the province of Bari, whole districts contain dense concentrations of trulli. The golden age of trulli was the nineteenth century, especially its final decades, which were marked by the development of wine growing.

Stepwells are wells or ponds in which the water is reached by descending a set of steps. They may be covered and protected and are often of architectural significance. They also may be multi-storied, having a bullock to turn the water wheel ("rehat") to raise the water in the well to the first or second floor. They are most common in western India. They are also found in the other more arid regions of South Asia, extending into Pakistan. Their construction may be utilitarian, but sometimes includes significant architectural embellishments. All forms of the stepwell are examples of the many types of storage and irrigation tanks that were developed in India, mainly to cope with seasonal fluctuations in water availability. A basic difference between stepwells on the one hand, and tanks and wells on the other, was to make it easier for people to reach the ground water, and to maintain and manage the well.

Relief is a sculptural technique where the sculpted elements remain attached to a solid background of the same material. The term relief is from the Latin verb relevo, to raise. To create a sculpture in relief is to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane.[1] What is actually performed when a relief is cut in from a flat surface of stone (relief sculpture) or wood (relief carving) is a lowering of the field, leaving the unsculpted parts seemingly raised. The technique involves considerable chiselling away of the background, which is a time-consuming exercise. On the other hand, a relief saves forming the rear of a subject, and is less fragile and more securely fixed than a sculpture in the round, especially one of a standing figure where the ankles are a potential weak point, especially in stone. In other materials such as metal, clay, plaster stucco, ceramics or papier-mâché the form can be just added to or raised up from the background, and monumental bronze reliefs are made by casting. There are different degrees of relief depending on the degree of projection of the sculpted form from the field, for which the Italian appellations are still sometimes used. The full range includes high relief (alto-rilievo, haut-relief), where more than 50% of the depth is shown and there may be undercut areas, mid-relief (mezzo-rilievo), low-relief (basso-rilievo, or French: bas-relief /ˌbɑːrɪˈliːf/), and shallow-relief or rilievo schiacciato, where the plane is only very slightly lower than the sculpted elements. There is also sunk relief, which was mainly restricted to Ancient Egypt (see below). However the distinction between high relief and low relief is the clearest and most important, and these two are generally the only terms used to discuss most work.
榫卯为榫头卯眼的简称,是一种传统木工中接合两个或多个构件的方式。其中构件中的凸出部分称为榫(榫头,也称作笋头),凹入部分则称为卯(卯眼,也称作卯口、榫眼等)A mortise (or mortice) and tenon joint is a type of joint that connects two pieces of wood or other material. Woodworkers around the world have used it for thousands of years to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°. In its basic form, it is both simple and strong. There are many variations of this type of joint, but the basic mortise and tenon comprises two components: the mortise hole and the tenon tongue. The tenon, formed on the end of a member generally referred to as a rail, fits into a square or rectangular hole cut into the corresponding member. The tenon is cut to fit the mortise hole exactly and usually has shoulders that seat when the joint fully enters the mortise hole. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place. This joint is also used with other materials. For example, it is a traditional method for stonemasons and blacksmiths. This is an ancient joint dating back 7,000 years. The first examples, tusked joints, were found in a well near Leipzig - the world's oldest intact wooden architecture.[4] It has also been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship",[5] a 43.6 m long vessel sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex of the Fourth Dynasty around 2500 BC. The oldest known use dates from the Early Neolithic Linear Pottery culture, where it was used in the constructing of the wooden lining of water wells. It has also been found in ancient furniture from archaeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Many instances are found, for example, in ruins of houses in the Silk Road kingdom of Cadota, dating from the first to the fourth century BC.[7] In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components, such as beams, brackets, roof frames and struts, were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity. Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites shows that, by the end of the Neolithic, mortise-and-tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction. The thirty sarsen stones of Stonehenge were dressed and fashioned with mortise-and-tenon joints before they were erected between 2600 and 2400 BC. ほぞ継ぎ(枘継ぎ)またはほぞ接ぎ(枘接ぎ)(ほぞつぎ、英語:mortise and tenon)とは、2つの木材部品を接合する継手の一種である。世界中の木工は数千年にわたり、主に木材を90度に接合するときにこれを使った。基本的な形式は、簡易かつ強固であった。これは7000年をさかのぼる伝統的な継手であり、多発的に世界各地で発明されたと考えられている。くさび止めほぞの最初の例は、世界最古の現存する木造建築物であるライプツィヒの井戸で発見された[5]。これはまた、紀元前2500年頃のエジプト第4王朝の三大ピラミッドに納められた43.6メートルの船であるクフ王の船の板材の継手でも発見された[6]。最古の利用は新石器時代初期の線帯文土器文化にさかのぼり、そこでは井戸の内壁建造に使わていた[7]。これはまた、中東、欧州およびアジアの古代遺跡で発見された古代の家具で使われた。例えば、紀元前4世紀から1世紀にさかのぼるシルクロードのチャドータ王国家屋の史跡で多数の例が見られる[8]。伝統的な中国の建築では、梁、腕木、屋根組み、および筋交いなどの木材は留め具や接着剤を使うことなく完全に接合し、木が湿度により伸縮できるようにした[9]。中国の遺跡からの考古学的証拠は、新石器時代の末期にはほぞ継ぎが中国の建造に使われたことを示す[10]。30個のストーンヘンジの大砂岩は、ほぞ継ぎの加工をされてから、紀元前2600年から2400年の間に立てられた。日本でも富山県の桜町遺跡で貫穴加工された角材や石川県の真脇遺跡でホゾ加工がされた約3000年前の角材が発見されており、独自に発明した技術であると考えられている。

The Ziggurat (or Great Ziggurat) of Ur (Sumerian: é-temen-ní-gùru "Etemenniguru", meaning "temple whose foundation creates aura"[2]) is a Neo-Sumerian ziggurat in what was the city of Ur near Nasiriyah, in present-day Dhi Qar Province, Iraq. The structure was built during the Early Bronze Age (21st century BCE), but had crumbled to ruins by the 6th century BCE of the Neo-Babylonian period when it was restored by King Nabonidus. Its remains were excavated in the 1920s and 1930s by Sir Leonard Woolley. Under Saddam Hussein in the 1980s, they were encased by a partial reconstruction of the façade and the monumental staircase. The ziggurat of Ur is the best-preserved of those known from Iran and Iraq, besides the ziggurat of Dur Untash (Chogha Zanbil).[3] It is one of three well preserved structures of the Neo-Sumerian city of Ur, along with the Royal Mausolea and the Palace of Ur-Nammu (the E-hursag).The ziggurat was damaged in the Gulf War in 1991 by small arms fire and the structure was shaken by explosions. Four bomb craters can be seen nearby and the walls of the ziggurat are marred by over 400 bullet holes.

- The hall house is a type of vernacular house traditional in many parts of England, Wales, Ireland and lowland Scotland, as well as northern Europe, during the Middle Ages, centring on a hall. Usually timber-framed, some high status examples were built in stone.In Old English, a "hall" is simply a large room enclosed by a roof and walls, and in Anglo-Saxon England simple one-room buildings, with a single hearth in the middle of the floor for cooking and warmth, were the usual residence of a lord of the manor and his retainers. The whole community was used to eating and sleeping in the hall. This is the hall as Beowulfunderstood it. Over several centuries the hall developed into a building which provided more than one room, giving some privacy to its more important residents.A significant house needs both public and private areas. The public area is the place for living: cooking, eating, meeting and playing, while private space is for withdrawing and for storing valuables. A source of heat is required, and in northern latitudes walls are also needed to keep the weather out and to keep in the heat.[2] By about 1400, in lowland Britain, with changes in settlement patterns and agriculture, people were thinking of houses as permanent structures rather than temporary shelter. According to the locality, they built stone or timber-framedhouses with wattle and daub or clay infill. The designs were copied by their neighbours and descendants in the tradition of vernacular architecture. They were sturdy and some have survived over five hundred years. Hall houses built after 1570 are rare. The open hearth found in a hall house created heat and smoke. A high ceiling drew the smoke upwards, leaving a relatively smoke-free void beneath.[5] [6] Later hall houses were built with chimneys and flues. In earlier ones, these were added as alterations and additional flooring often installed. This, and the need for staircases to reach each of the upper storeys, led to much innovation and variety in floor plans. The hall house, having started in the Middle Ages as a home for a lord and his community of retainers, permeated to the less well-off during the early modern period. During the sixteenth century, the rich crossed what Brunskill describes as the "polite threshold" and became more likely to employ professionals to design their homes.

灰泥,又稱巴黎灰泥、熟石膏 Plaster is a building material used for the protective or decorative coating of walls and ceilings and for moulding and casting decorative elements.[1] In English "plaster" usually means a material used for the interiors of buildings, while "render" commonly refers to external applications.[2] Another imprecise term used for the material is stucco, which is also often used for plasterwork that is worked in some way to produce relief decoration, rather than flat surfaces. The most common types of plaster mainly contain either gypsum, lime, or cement,[3] but all work in a similar way. The plaster is manufactured as a dry powder and is mixed with water to form a stiff but workable paste immediately before it is applied to the surface. The reaction with water liberates heat through crystallization and the hydrated plaster then hardens. Plaster can be relatively easily worked with metal tools or even sandpaper, and can be moulded, either on site or to make pre-formed sections in advance, which are put in place with adhesive. Plaster is not a strong material; it is suitable for finishing, rather than load-bearing, and when thickly applied for decoration may require a hidden supporting framework, usually in metal. Forms of plaster have several other uses. In medicine plaster orthopedic casts are still often used for supporting set broken bones. In dentistry plaster is used to make dental impressions. Various types of models and moulds are made with plaster. In art, lime plaster is the traditional matrix for fresco painting; the pigments are applied to a thin wet top layer of plaster and fuse with it so that the painting is actually in coloured plaster. In the ancient world, as well as the sort of ornamental designs in plaster relief that are still used, plaster was also widely used to create large figurative reliefs for walls, though few of these have survived.

A baluster is a vertical moulded shaft, square, or lathe-turned form found in stairways, parapets, and other architectural features. In furniture construction it is known as a spindle. Common materials used in its construction are wood, stone, and less frequently metal and ceramic. A group of balusters supporting handrail, coping, or ornamental detail are known as a balustrade.The term baluster shaft is used to describe forms such as a candlestick, upright furniture support, and the stem of a brass chandelier.[citation needed]The term banister (also bannister) refers to the balusters of the handrail of a stairway.[3] It may be used to include its supporting structures, such as a supporting newel post.According to OED, "baluster" is derived through the French: balustre, from Italian: balaustro, from balaustra, "pomegranate flower" [from a resemblance to the swelling form of the half-open flower (illustration, below right)],[5]from Latin balaustium, from Greek βαλαύστιον (balaustion).The earliest examples of balusters are those shown in the bas-reliefs representing the Assyrian palaces, where they were employed as functional window balustrades and apparently had Ionic capitals.[1] As an architectural element alone the balustrade did not seem to have been known to either the Greeks or the Romans,[1][6] but baluster forms are familiar in the legs of chairs and tables represented in Roman bas-reliefs,[7] where the original legs or the models for cast bronze ones were shaped on the lathe, or in Antique marble candelabra, formed as a series of stacked bulbous and disc-shaped elements, both kinds of sources familiar to Quattrocento designers.
The Ziggurat (or Great Ziggurat) of Ur (Sumerian: é-temen-ní-gùru "Etemenniguru", meaning "temple whose foundation creates aura"[2]) is a Neo-Sumerian ziggurat in what was the city of Ur near Nasiriyah, in present-day Dhi Qar Province, Iraq. The structure was built during the Early Bronze Age (21st century BCE), but had crumbled to ruins by the 6th century BCE of the Neo-Babylonian period when it was restored by King Nabonidus. Its remains were excavated in the 1920s and 1930s by Sir Leonard Woolley. Under Saddam Hussein in the 1980s, they were encased by a partial reconstruction of the façade and the monumental staircase. The ziggurat of Ur is the best-preserved of those known from Iran and Iraq, besides the ziggurat of Dur Untash (Chogha Zanbil).[3] It is one of three well preserved structures of the Neo-Sumerian city of Ur, along with the Royal Mausolea and the Palace of Ur-Nammu (the E-hursag).The ziggurat was damaged in the Gulf War in 1991 by small arms fire and the structure was shaken by explosions. Four bomb craters can be seen nearby and the walls of the ziggurat are marred by over 400 bullet holes.

- https://www.quora.com/Why-did-castles-have-round-towers Roman towers and gates had square corners. Then as more barbarians acquired siege engines they built semi-circular bastions & round towers. The reason is square corners are structural weaknesses. All a siege engine has to do is throw rocks at one spot to make the whole thing collapse.

- moated castle
- Bodiam Castle (/ˈboʊdiəm/) is a 14th-century moated castle near Robertsbridge in East Sussex, England. It was built in 1385 by Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, a former knight of Edward III, with the permission of Richard II, ostensibly to defend the area against French invasion during the Hundred Years' War. Of quadrangular plan, Bodiam Castle has no keep, having its various chambers built around the outer defensive walls and inner courts. Its corners and entrance are marked by towers, and topped by crenellations. Its structure, details and situation in an artificial watery landscape indicate that display was an important aspect of the castle's design as well as defence. It was the home of the Dalyngrigge family and the centre of the manor of Bodiam. Possession of Bodiam Castle passed through several generations of Dalyngrigges, until their line became extinct, when the castle passed by marriage to the Lewknor family. During the Wars of the Roses, Sir Thomas Lewknor supported the House of Lancaster, and when Richard III of the House of York became king in 1483, a force was despatched to besiege Bodiam Castle. It is unrecorded whether the siege went ahead, but it is thought that Bodiam was surrendered without much resistance. The castle was confiscated, but returned to the Lewknors when Henry VII of the House of Lancaster became king in 1485. Descendants of the Lewknors owned the castle until at least the 16th century. By the start of the English Civil War in 1641, Bodiam Castle was in the possession of Lord Thanet. He supported the Royalist cause, and sold the castle to help pay fines levied against him by Parliament. The castle was subsequently dismantled, and was left as a picturesque ruin until its purchase by John Fuller in 1829. Under his auspices, the castle was partially restored before being sold to George Cubitt, 1st Baron Ashcombe, and later to Lord Curzon, both of whom undertook further restoration work. The castle is protected as a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Monument. It has been owned by The National Trust since 1925, donated by Lord Curzon on his death, and is open to the public.

- The hall house is a type of vernacular house traditional in many parts of England, Wales, Ireland and lowland Scotland, as well as northern Europe, during the Middle Ages, centring on a hall. Usually timber-framed, some high status examples were built in stone.In Old English, a "hall" is simply a large room enclosed by a roof and walls, and in Anglo-Saxon England simple one-room buildings, with a single hearth in the middle of the floor for cooking and warmth, were the usual residence of a lord of the manor and his retainers. The whole community was used to eating and sleeping in the hall. This is the hall as Beowulfunderstood it. Over several centuries the hall developed into a building which provided more than one room, giving some privacy to its more important residents.A significant house needs both public and private areas. The public area is the place for living: cooking, eating, meeting and playing, while private space is for withdrawing and for storing valuables. A source of heat is required, and in northern latitudes walls are also needed to keep the weather out and to keep in the heat.[2] By about 1400, in lowland Britain, with changes in settlement patterns and agriculture, people were thinking of houses as permanent structures rather than temporary shelter. According to the locality, they built stone or timber-framedhouses with wattle and daub or clay infill. The designs were copied by their neighbours and descendants in the tradition of vernacular architecture. They were sturdy and some have survived over five hundred years. Hall houses built after 1570 are rare. The open hearth found in a hall house created heat and smoke. A high ceiling drew the smoke upwards, leaving a relatively smoke-free void beneath.[5] [6] Later hall houses were built with chimneys and flues. In earlier ones, these were added as alterations and additional flooring often installed. This, and the need for staircases to reach each of the upper storeys, led to much innovation and variety in floor plans. The hall house, having started in the Middle Ages as a home for a lord and his community of retainers, permeated to the less well-off during the early modern period. During the sixteenth century, the rich crossed what Brunskill describes as the "polite threshold" and became more likely to employ professionals to design their homes.

- A mashrabiya (Arabic: مشربية), also either shanshūl (شنشول) or rūshān (روشان), is an architectural element which is characteristic of Arabic residences. It is a type of projecting oriel window enclosed with carved wood latticework located on the second story of a building or higher, often lined with stained glass. The mashrabiya is an element of traditional Arabic architecture used since the Middle Ages up to the mid-20th century. It is most commonly used on the street side of the building; however, it may also be used internally on the sahn (courtyard) side.[1] The style may be informally known as a "harem window" in English.

- Charbagh or Chahar Bagh (Hindi-Urdu: चारबाग़ (Devanagari), چارباغ (Nastaleeq), chār bāgh, Persian: چهارباغ, chahār bāgh, meaning "four gardens") is a Persian, Indo-Persian, and Islamic quadrilateral garden layout based on the four gardens of Paradise mentioned in the Qur'an. The quadrilateral garden is divided by walkways or flowing water into four smaller parts. They are found in countries throughout Western Asia and South Asia, including Iran and India.The quadrilateral Charbagh concept is based on the four gardens of Paradise mentioned in Chapter (Surah) 55, Ar-Rahman "The Beneficient", in the Qur'an:
"And for him, who fears to stand before his Lord, are two gardens." (Chapter 55: Verse 46)
"And beside them are two other gardens." (Chapter 55: Verse 62)
"And beside them are two other gardens." (Chapter 55: Verse 62)
One of the hallmarks of Charbagh garden is the four-part garden laid out with axial paths that intersect at the garden's centre. This highly structured geometrical scheme, called the chahar bagh, became a powerful method for the organization and domestication of the landscape, itself a symbol of political territory.

-Minka (Japanese: 民家, lit. "house of the people") are vernacular houses constructed in any one of several traditional Japanese building styles. In the context of the four divisions of society, minka were the dwellings of farmers, artisans, and merchants (i.e., the three non-samurai castes). This connotation no longer exists in the modern Japanese language, and any traditional Japanese-style residence of an appropriate age could be referred to as minka.Minka are characterised by their basic structure, their roof structure and their roof shape. Minka developed through history with distinctive styles emerging in the Edo period. 民家(みんか)とは、一般の庶民が暮らす住まいのこと。支配階級、上層階級の住まい(王宮など)に対比して用いられる言葉。民屋(みんおく)ともいう。
- 日本建築史や民俗学では、主に江戸時代の農家、町家の類を民家という。明治時代以降に建立された住宅で、伝統的様式・技法を用いたものもこれに含まれる。また、中・下層の武士の住まいも農家と同様の技法が用いられているものは民家に含める。(本項で詳しく述べる)
- 現代日本語では、団地やマンションなどの集合住宅に対して、一戸建ての比較的小規模な住宅を指して「民家」と呼ぶことがある。特に報道文などで「土砂崩れで民家が押し流され」などと使う。
- The gassho-zukuri (合掌造)-style minka have vast roofs that are a large form of the sasu structural system. Their name derives from the similarity of the roof shape to two hands in prayer. They are frequently found in Gifu Prefecture.The upper floors of the two and three storey houses are used for sericulture, with storage space for trays of silkworms and mulberry leaves.
- 「合掌造」的形式據說始於十二世紀末、十三世紀初,當時 在原平合戰中戰敗的平氏家族為了擺脫追兵而躲入深山,為禦寒 而修建了這種茅草屋。而現在還保留下來的主要建於江戶時代。 正是村民的小心保護,才能讓世人們有幸看到這一寶貴的歷史遺 跡原本的完整樣貌。從村子入口處向西北方向步行約半個小時或 乘坐收費巴士,可以到達海拔高處的天守閣展望台,站在這裏眺 望整個合掌村,滿眼都是明信片中的醉人童話風景。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20190401/PDF/b5_screen.pdf

- Honmune-zukuri (本棟造) literally means "true ridge": The style has a nearly square plan with a gabled roof that is board covered. The gable end of the house is particularly impressive with its composition of beams, eaves and braces. The gable is topped by a birdlike ornament called a suzume-odori (雀踊り).[32] Houses of this type can be found in Gunma, Nara, Yamaguchi and Kouchi prefectures.

The shape of the roof varies a little depending on region.The hearth that's set into the floor of kominka is used for cooking and heating through a charcoal fire. The smoke rising from the hearth also acts as an insect repellant for the thatched roof, so it's an efficient arrangement.The inside of the house seen from the doma, an unfloored area. You can see that the floor is raised from the ground.To go with Japan's rainy, humid climate, the houses were built so that air would circulate beneath it.The doma, where there are no floorboards and only roofing above, is used for stuff like agricultural processing, or as a workshop or kitchen.
- うだつは、日本家屋の屋根に取り付けられる小柱、防火壁、装飾。本来は梲と書き、室町以降は卯建・宇立などの字が当てられた。平安時代は「うだち」といったが、室町時代以降「うだつ」と訛った。本来は梁(うつばり)の上に立てる小さい柱のことを言ったが、そののち、自家と隣家との間の屋根を少し持ち上げた部分を「うだつ」と呼ぶようになった。桃山時代に描かれた洛中洛外図屏風にはうだつのある長屋が描かれている。桃山時代から江戸時代初期にかけては木製のうだつが存在するなど、当初は防火壁と言うよりも屋根が強風で飛んだりするのを防ぐ防風の意味合いや、また装飾的な意味合いが強かった[1]。
- In traditional Japanese architecture, a shōji is a door, window or room divider consisting of translucent paper over a frame of wood which holds together a lattice of wood or bamboo. While washi is the traditional paper, shōji may be made of paper made by modern manufacturing processes; plastic is also in use.Formerly the word shōji was used to refer to both fusuma, formally known as karagami shōji (唐紙障子), and shōji, referred to as akari shōji (明り障子).

- 粉牆黛瓦是對蘇州這座江南水城的一種美稱,蘇州地區本就多水,臨水而居,烏瓦粉牆互相輝映。建築本身用白灰抹牆,用黑瓦遮蓋住房頂,建築色彩上的單一,也與經濟條件有一定的關係。蘇州地區的建築大多都是土坯磚砌或者木構建成的。土坯建成的,在《園冶》一書中,就有提到過用白灰抹牆。說「歷來粉牆,用紙筋石灰,有好事取其光膩,用白蠟磨打者。今用江湖中黃沙,並上好石灰少許打底,再加少許石灰蓋面,以麻帚輕擦,自然明亮鑒人。」根據《蘇州平江府志》記載的描述,「塗白堊以防潮,非為費材而飾也」。由此我們可以大體的知道,因為色彩裝飾材料的原因,以及當時的經濟制約,在一定意義上也造成了蘇州建築色彩外觀的表現力薄弱,也符合了當時的社會現實。在中國的傳統文化思想中,青、黃、赤、白、黑是正色,其他的色彩則被定義為間色,正色代表着正統的地位。而蘇州道家思想盛行,道家在色彩的觀念上認為「色者,白立而五色成矣」,喜歡黑白這些平淡素凈的色彩,這種色彩理想在蘇州的傳統建築藝術中表現得很是突出。原文網址:https://kknews.cc/news/lrqmzmg.html

- 据有关史籍记载,历史上潮州曾有牌坊91座,其中太平路39座,其他街巷44座,余在金山、韩山、湘子桥。此外,于乡镇间尚有57座,因此人们喻为“牌坊城”;而集中于太平路(大街)的牌坊,多为横跨路面的四柱三门,规模较大,鳞次栉比,风格独特,气势非凡,故被誉为“牌坊街”。太平路与东门街是潮州古牌坊最为集中的路段。根据史籍记载,太平路共有明、清石牌坊39座,其中建于明代的有34座,建于清代的5座,最早的建于明正德十二年(1517年),是为御史许洪宥建的“柱史”坊,最迟的建于乾隆五十年(1785年),是为直隶总督郑大进建的“圣朝使相”坊。潮城的牌坊,除“宫保尚书坊”和“六贤坊”为木结构,“世旌节孝坊”和倒塌后重建的“秋台坊”为砖砌外,余均为石结构。这些牌坊,“二柱一门或四柱三门,以石雕凿成歇山顶、柱、梁及各小件,架上三叠牌楼,匾额两旁,有的加配石刻镂雕之‘双龙戏珠’或‘龙凤卷草’之类装饰,柱边加设石狮或石鼓插柱础,潮人俗称为亭”。

People
- Thomas Telford FRS, FRSE (9 August 1757 – 2 September 1834) was a Scottish civil engineer, architect and stonemason, and a noted road, bridge and canal builder. After establishing himself as an engineer of road and canal projects in Shropshire, he designed numerous infrastructure projects in his native Scotland, as well as harbours and tunnels. Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed The Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes), and, reflecting his command of all types of civil engineering in the early 19th century, he was elected as the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a post he retained for 14 years until his death. Telford was born on 9 August 1757 at Glendinning, a hill farm 3 miles east of Eskdalemuir Kirk, in the rural parish of Westerkirk, in Eskdale, Dumfriesshire. His father John Telford, a shepherd, died soon after Thomas was born. Thomas was raised in poverty by his mother Janet Jackson (died 1794).
- Charles-Édouard Jeanneret-Gris, who was better known as Le Corbusier (French: [lə kɔʁbyzje]; October 6, 1887 – August 27, 1965), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter,urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, with his buildings constructed throughout Europe, India, and the Americas. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès international d'architecture moderne (CIAM). Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city ofChandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there.
- Riccardo Morandi (1 September 1902 – 25 December 1989) was an Italian civil engineer best known for his interesting use of reinforced concrete. Amongst his best known works were the General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge, an 8 km crossing of Lake Maracaibo incorporating seven cable-stayed bridge spans with unusual piers, and the Subterranean Automobile Showroom in Turin.
- Ponte Morandi (English: Morandi Bridge) was a part of the Polcevera viaduct (Italian: Viadotto Polcevera), on the A10 motorway in Italy. It crossed the Polcevera stream between the districts of Sampierdarena and Cornigliano in Genoa, Liguria. The viaduct was built between 1963 and 1967, and officially opened on 4 September 1967; it was named after its designer Riccardo Morandi. The bridge partially collapsed on 14 August 2018. The bridge was designed by Riccardo Morandi. It is similar to his earlier 1957 design for the General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge, located at the outlet of Lake Maracaibo in western Venezuela, and connecting Maracaibo with the rest of the country, which also partially collapsed in 1964 when the tanker Esso Maracaibo collided with the approach spans.

Architecture style
- Coptic architecture is the architecture of the Copts, who form the majority of Christians in Egypt. Coptic churches range from great cathedrals like Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral to the smallest churches in rural villages. Many ancient monasteries likeMonastery of Saint Anthony survive. Ancient churches like the Hanging Church in Coptic Cairo carry important historical value to the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Copts in general.
- Byzantine architecture is the architecture of the Byzantine Empire, also known as the Later Roman or Eastern Roman Empire. Byzantine architecture was mostly influenced by Roman and Greek architecture. It began with Constantine the Great when he rebuilt the city of Byzantium and named it Constantinople[1] and continued with his building of churches [2] and the forum of Constantine. This terminology is used by modern historians to designate the medieval Roman Empire as it evolved as a distinct artistic and cultural entity centered on the new capital of Constantinople rather than the city of Rome and environs.
- L'architecture paléochrétienne désigne la plus ancienne période de l'architecture chrétienne, qui s'est développée dans l'Empire romain dans l'Antiquité tardive. Elle commence d'abord modestement de la fin du iie siècle à 313, lorsque le christianisme était persécuté, puis elle s'épanouit pleinement à l'échelle de tout l'empire à partir du règne de Constantin, le premier empereur converti au christianisme et avec Théodose qui en fait la religion officielle en 380. L'architecture paléochrétienne est ainsi directement l'héritière de la tradition architecturale classique romaine. Elle ne crée pas un vocabulaire nouveau mais donne un sens nouveau aux éléments qu'elle a autour d'elle pour assembler les fidèles, magnifier les lieux saints, rendre un culte aux martyrs et honorer les morts. Elle connaîtra ensuite un important renouveau au vie siècle autour de Constantinople dans l'Empire romain d'Orient en donnant naissance à l'architecture byzantine, tandis qu'en Occident, après les conquêtes germaniques et la chute de l'Empire romain d'Occident en 476, elle mènera à l'architecture mérovingienne puis carolingienne et ottonienne, ainsi qu'aux architectures wisigothique et lombarde, entre autres. Durant la christianisation de l'Empire romain, les lieux de culte se sont installés dans des maisons de notables, certains anciens temples païens convertis ainsi que dans les basiliques civiles des forums, car contrairement aux temples les vastes basiliques pouvaient accueillir la foule de la cité et rassembler les fidèles.
- À l’origine, l’architecture byzantine n’est que le prolongement de l’architecture romaine antique. Durant le Bas-Empire, la propagation du christianisme avait conduit au développement d'une architecture paléochrétienne, avec l’édification d’églises dont le plan, dérivé au départ de celui des temples païens et surtout des basiliques civiles romaines qui avaient été converties en lieux de culte, a progressivement adopté des formes mieux adaptées au culte chrétien.

- 哥德式是欧洲中世纪年代(十二至十五世纪)流行的教堂建筑风格,传入英国后被划分为三个时期,依次是早期英国哥德式、装饰哥德式和垂直哥德式。前者开始採用尖顶、肋拱和尖拱设计,窗户高而窄,强调纤细的线状接合。装饰哥德式以华丽装饰为特点,有几何图案的花式窗格,外墙有石雕,拱顶使用复杂的肋架。垂直哥德式是英国延续时间最长的哥德式风格,除了具有基本特色如尖顶、肋拱、尖拱和精巧装饰外,还强调垂直线条,以营造高耸的感觉,例子有剑桥的国王学院礼拜堂。到了文艺復兴时代,哥德式风格被古典风格取代,直至十八世纪中叶才復兴,但此时无论在体量或装饰上已难与中世纪的哥德式建筑相比,因此统称为哥德復兴式,没有再加以细分。http://paper.takungpao.com/resfile/PDF/20170618/PDF/a21_screen.pdf

- Georgian architecture is the name given in most English-speaking countries to the set of architectural styles current between 1714 and 1830. It is eponymous for the first four British monarchs of the House of Hanover—George I, George II, George III, and George IV—who reigned in continuous succession from August 1714 to June 1830. The style was revived in the late 19th century in the United States as Colonial Revival architecture and in the early 20th century in Great Britain as Neo-Georgian architecture; in both it is also called Georgian Revival architecture.

- A Butterfly plan, also known as a Double Suntrap plan, is a type of architectural plan in which two or more wings of a house are constructed at an angle to the core, usually at approximately 45 degrees to the wall of the core building. It was used primarily in late Victorian architecture and during the early Arts and Crafts movement.
- The Mayan Revival is a modern architectural movement, primarily of the 1920s and 1930s,[1] that drew inspiration from the architecture and iconography of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures.
- Historian Marjorie Ingle traces the history of this style to the Pan American Union Building by Paul Philippe Cret, (1908–10) which incorporates numerous motifs drawn from the indigenous traditions of the Americas.[3] Specifically Maya and Mexica elements in the Pan American Union Building include the floor mosaics surrounding a central fountain (most of the motifs are copied directly from sculpture at Copan) and figures on lights flanking the entrance to the building. Also, in the Pan American Union Building's Art Museum of the Americas there are numerous stoneware architectural details that are copied from Maya and Mexica art. The largest numbers of Mayan-revival buildings are found in Detroit, Michigan and Mérida, Mexico but such architecture can also be found on a smaller scale in New York, Houston, Los Angeles, Acapulco, Mexico City, Cancun and Tokyo.

- Budapest Secessionist style, like Viennese Secessionism, was an Avant-garde, “new century” movement that rejected the formalism of academic art and architecture of the past, opting for a much more free, romantic, and sensual approach to design. In Budapest it was coupled with the desire to achieve a Hungarian style as opposed to the European eclecticism that had dominated art and architecture at the time. It became art nouveau with a Hungarian inflection.https://hileybudapest.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/budapest-secession-architecture/

- Charles-Édouard Jeanneret (6 October 1887 – 27 August 1965), known as Le Corbusier (UK: /lə kɔːrˈbjuːzieɪ/ lə kor-BEW-zee-ay,[2] US: /lə ˌkɔːrbuːˈzjeɪ, -ˈsjeɪ/ lə KOR-boo-ZYAY, -SYAY,[3][4] French: [lə kɔʁbyzje]), was a Swiss-French architect, designer, painter, urban planner, writer, and one of the pioneers of what is now called modern architecture. He was born in Switzerland and became a French citizen in 1930. His career spanned five decades, and he designed buildings in Europe, Japan, India, and North and South America. Dedicated to providing better living conditions for the residents of crowded cities, Le Corbusier was influential in urban planning, and was a founding member of the Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM). Le Corbusier prepared the master plan for the city of Chandigarh in India, and contributed specific designs for several buildings there, specially the government buildings.1926年柯布西耶就自己的住宅设计提出著名的“新建筑五点”(Cinq points de l'architecture moderne),它们是:
- 底层架空(les pilotis):主要層離開地面。獨特支柱使一樓挑空。
- 屋顶花园(le toit-terrasse):將花園移往視野最廣、濕度最少的屋頂。
- 自由平面(le plan libre):各層牆壁位置端看空間的需求來決定即可。
- 横向长窗(la fenêtre-bandeau):大面開窗,可得到良好的視野。
- 自由立面(la façade libre):由立面來看各個樓層像是個別存在的,樓層間不互相影響。

- a gargoyle (/ˈɡɑːrɡɔɪl/) is a carved or formed grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building, thereby preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls and eroding the mortar between. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastical animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is directed from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.

- 五稜郭(ごりょうかく)は、江戸時代末期に江戸幕府により蝦夷地の箱館(現在の北海道函館市)郊外に建造された稜堡式の城郭である。予算書時点から五稜郭の名称は用いられていた[3]が、築造中は、亀田役所土塁(かめだやくしょどるい)[4]または亀田御役所土塁(かめだおんやくしょどるい)[5]とも呼ばれた[注釈 2]。元は湿地でネコヤナギが多く生えていた土地であることから、柳野城(やなぎのじょう)の別名を持つ[6]。Goryōkaku (五稜郭) is a star fort in the Japanese city of Hakodate on the island of Hokkaido.[1][2] It was the main fortress of the short-lived Republic of Ezo.
- 1854年(安政元年)3月、日米和親条約の締結により箱館開港が決定すると、江戸幕府は松前藩領だった箱館周辺を上知し、同年6月に箱館奉行を再置した[9]。箱館奉行所は前幕領時代(1802年-1807年)と同じ基坂(当時は松前藩の箱館奉行詰役所があった[10])に置かれた。
- Goryōkaku was designed in 1855 by Takeda Ayasaburō. His plan was based on the work of the French architect Vauban.The fort was built by the Tokugawa shogunate to protect the Tsugaru Straitagainst a possible invasion by the Russian fleet. Goryōkaku is famous as the site of the last battle of the Boshin War. The fighting lasted for a week (June 20–27, 1869).

The towers contain a total of 505 residential units that were fully sold and completed in 1Q2019. The keys have been handed over to the owners, and some residents have already moved in. Jointly developed by Singapore-listed UOL Group and United Industrial Corp (UIC), The Clement Canopy was completed about 21 months ahead of the original schedule of 4Q2020. Using the conventional construction method, the towers would have taken 30 to 36 months to complete. With the PPVC method, construction time is reduced to 24 to 30 months, which means a 20-30% time-saving, said Pierre-Eric Saint-André, deputy CEO for Bouygues Bâtiment International and CEO for Asia Pacific at a press conference in Singapore on June 27.

Bridge
- suspension bridge
- The Puente Colgante, originally called Puente de Clavería, was a suspension bridge that connected the Manila districts of Quiapo and Ermita across the Pasig River in the Philippines. Designed by the Spanish Basque engineer Matias Menchacatorre and completed in 1852, it was the first steel suspension bridge in East Asia and the first toll bridge of its kind in the Philippines.[1] The bridge was replaced by Quezon Bridge in the 1930s.Puente Colgante (which is the term for a suspension bridge in Spanish; literally, hanging bridge), the second bridge built over Pasig river, was the first steel suspension bridge built in Asia when it was started in 1849 and completed in 1852. It was built and owned by Ynchausti y Compañia, the business headed by Jose Joaquín de Ynchausti. He commissioned the steel wire suspension design from Spanish Basque engineer Matias Menchacatorre. The bridge was first named Puente de Clavería, likely in honor of the Governor-General of the Philippines Narciso Clavería, who served from 1844-1849.

- Quezon Bridge is a combined arch and prestressed concrete girder bridge that connects the Manila districts of Quiapo and Ermita across the Pasig River in the Philippines.
The bridge, which was constructed in 1939 under the supervision of the engineering firm Pedro Siochi and Company, replaced the Puente Colgante. Quezon Bridge was designed as an Art Deco style arch bridge and was inspired from the design of Sydney Harbour Bridge. It was named in honor of Manuel Luis Quezon, president of the Philippines at the time of its construction.

- Eugene C. Figg, (August 4, 1936 – March 20, 2002) was an American structural engineer who made numerous contributions to the field of structural engineering, especially in the design of the cable-stayed bridge and the use of the segmental concreteconstruction method. Figg was born August 4 1936 in Charleston, South Carolina. He received a civil engineering degree as a structural engineer at The Citadel (military college) in Charleston in 1958. During his career, he brought the use of the segmental method for spanning large gaps to the United States with the assistance of his Paris-based partner, Jean M. Muller.[4] His affiliation with Muller, begun at at Figg and Muller Engineers (founded in 1978),[5][6]allowed him to gain valuable insight into the application of pre-cast segmental bridge construction methods to the domestic market. When they coupled this construction method with cable-stayed supports, Mueller and Figg effectively increased the use of concrete in longer span bridge proposals. He formed his own engineering firm, the Figg Engineering Group, still operating and based in Tallahassee.[3] Figg also founded the American Segmental Bridge Institute in 1989, and served four years as a trustee at the National Building Museum.
- http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article205663709.html The founder of the FIGG Bridge Group engineering firm was so widely admired that the nation’s oldest civil engineering association named a scholarship after him. FIGG is a bit of a rarity among engineering firms: It designs only bridges — spans over briny bays, over green mountain hollers, over congested urban roadways and over the Colorado River en route to Utah’s red rock marvels. The company, based in Tallahassee, designed a bridge that spans Tampa Bay, the iconic Sunshine Skyway, which replaced an earlier structure that had been the subject of one of the most stunning, and tragic, collapses in U.S. history. It designed the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys. It developed the Linn Cove Viaduct — the final piece of the breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina — which was designated a National Civil Engineering Landmark. , http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180318/00180_014.html

roads
- Macadam is a type of road construction, pioneered by Scottish engineer John Loudon McAdam around 1820, in which single-sized crushed stone layers of small angular stones are placed in shallow lifts and compacted thoroughly. A binding layer of stone dust (crushed stone from the original material) may form; it may also, after rolling, be covered with a binder to keep dust and stones together. The method simplified what had been considered state of the art at that point.

- 粵港澳大灣區交通重點樞紐工程「深中通道」目前正進行最難的沉管隧道建設。深中通道管理中心有關負責人昨日受訪時透露,繼首個管節(E1管節)鋼殼在6月下旬從南沙龍穴島船廠運抵珠海牛頭島預製廠後,目前進入E1管節混凝土澆築階段。據悉,該預製廠曾承接港珠澳大橋33節隧道沉管建造,經過11個月的升級改造並獲得11項專利,打造成更加智慧化的「夢工廠」。其中,幾乎所有生產的數據都可在一塊大屏幕上輕鬆捕捉,具備每個月生產一節管節的能力,比港珠澳大橋提升了一倍多;而相比港珠澳大橋E1管節從預製廠搬移到淺塢區花了1個多月,如今最快提升到3個小時,深中通道建設工效較港珠澳大橋大幅提速。http://pdf.wenweipo.com/2019/07/10/a07-0710.pdf
