Its construction includes a cat's nest, chairs and bookshelves. Students passing by here can rest and read books or escape the heavy rain, or play with cats here. 7.1 Production process      In the production process of this assignment, another team member and I were tasked with making the cat house. First of all, we looked up the information related to cats and learned the cat's living habits and hobbies. We then designed a series of cat doors and Windows for the nest, based on the cat's size, to provide ventilation and sunlight. Finally we placed some soft cloth for comfort and cardboard for the cat to play with. 7.2 Production result 8.     Documentation

St Mary Woolnoth

    St Mary Woolnoth is located on the corner of Lombard Street and King William Street and was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor.      Its facade is imposing, in the English Baroque style, and is dominated by two flat-topped turrets, supported by Corinthian columns, which are used throughout the church. The west side of the facade faces Lombardy Street and has a distinctive groove with an inset front curved gable on sloping columns.     The interior of the church is spacious. The layout is typical of Hawksmoor, forming a "cube within a cube" -- a square surrounded by three rows of four columns, itself surrounded by a wider square.

Cyborg World

     Cyborg is the deconstruction and recombination of elements, creating a pluralistic, blurred and integrated society of elements.      The human-machine connection, the wiring, the muscle, the skin, the information connection, creates new meaning for the body-machine collective where systems support each other. Private space, public space, production space and institutional space operate in similar ways; Between their thresholds are networks that collapse through space and multiple layers of network loops, creating connections that build new experiences. This web-broken urbanism filters through production to support individual and economic agents into institutional forces that subvert the norms and conventions of everyday life.

The Destination of Life

https://congressionalcemetery.org/2022/08/22/why-do-so-many-headstones-face-east/   “The end of life is death; the meaning of death is rebirth or eternal sleep. Death is not the loss of life, but out of the time.” ----“ To Live ”, Yu Hua NELL (without lowering her voice): Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that. But - NAGG (shocked): Oh! NELL: Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more. (Pause.) ( Samuel, 1957)      Samuel Beckett's Endgame is an absurd, tragic play about a blind, paralyzed, dominative old man, his elderly parents, and his submissive companion. They are waiting for some kind of uncertain "end" in the abandoned cabin of a post-apocalyptic wilderness. It seemed to be the end of their relationship, the death, and the end of the

The Chinese “Order”

         The two "grammar books" in the history of Chinese architecture are extremely important for the study of the technology of Chinese architecture. They are the workings of Song Dynasty and Qing Dynasty.      In Song dynasty, the ratio between the various parts of the specifications of a house and its relationship, on the basis of their level of wood material. TS’AI is divided into eight specifications. In Qing dynasty, about TS’AI, CHIH and FEN in the concept of craftsman who seems to have no memory of the mind, and as part of bear Gong - TOU-KUNG, become a metrics.      TOU-KUNG are made up of TOU and KUNG. In the Song Dynasty, it was called “You”, while in the Qing Dynasty, it was called “Zan”. There is another important difference in TOU-KUNG between Song and Qing dynasties. The Tou set along the column center line parallel to the front of the building is called sumach Tou. It is interactively placed in sumach Tou, on which brackets are supported with several layers.

The building reflects the development of modern architecture and modern industry with the development of the industrial Revolution.  T he building originally planned as an exhibition, the materials used to build the house had to meet a few key specifications: temporary, simple and as cheap as possible.      Its design inspiration comes from the lian network of support, purely made of steel and glass walls that building in building quickly good pervious to light again at the same time, to know the light is in more than 20 years later, in 1879 was Edison invented.      Most interesting of all are the glass walls and ceilings of the building. As a result, indoor lighting is not required inside the building. The shape and size of the entire building is based on the glass produced by the supplier, which greatly changed the production co
