         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.

What’s more, it has a lot of character: it’s a dead-end street leading to a wall, so the space is relatively underused, and its outdoor entertaining potential has yet to be tapped come out. The design of the entire building pays more attention to the interior design and the endowment of the entertainment function inside the building but lacks the emphasis on the entertainment function outside the building.     2.       Sketch     3.       Material   3.1    Theme Utilize waste items in schools.   3.2 Material 3.2.1  Express carton The proliferation of express cartons is a major problem in school.

     Palazzo Davanzati is a palace in Florence, Italy. Now it is a Museum, furnished nobleman's home, full of atmosphere and charm. Its most important feature is the architectural structure, which represents an interesting example of a 14th century house, showing the transition stage from the medieval tower house to the Renaissance buildings.      The building is made of sandstone, with three large entrances on a horizontal axis and three levels of vertical Windows. The topmost floor has a loggia supported by four columns and two pilasters that was added in the 16th century.       The Palace represents a stage of transition between the closed, vertical structure of the medieval tower-house and the more spacious Renaissance palazzo, arranged around a central courtyard.       On the ground floor, the facade features three large wooden gates that were once used as an open loggia for chatting, commercial  trading, waiting room and playground for family children.

     This is a group work.      In the design of logo, we use an Old English font, which makes our logo letter "E and I"(from the English name of our team members) more design sense and cultural inheritance. It also reflects our design philosophy: respect culture and tradition.      My partner and I completed six drawings together, including plan, section and elevations in different directions. What we design  is a bathroom, in a residential building, which contains both a bathtub and a shower.      We all dream of having a spacious bathroom, preferably a separate bathtub and shower, and one of the easiest ways to make the space look spacious is to use a lot of white: white tiles, white wall paint, white accessories, etc.     Less is more, we don't add too many elements that don't belong to the bathroom, only the most basic furniture. Leave more open areas to make the space look bigger.

Water not so deep, so even if the boat collapsed, the players could walk in, and the bridge became a target for these races (Crudeli, 2017). From a social point of view, it was very successful for him because it changed the society of that city. Even private houses, or various non-public projects, can transform neighborhoods. He believes that architects have a great responsibility in the community.  https://k-associates.com/works/yunokabashi/ Waro Kishi believed that architecture always faces the public space, society, even if people are talking about private houses, it is part of the public space. Though a small building, once completed, it will change the society where built it.      In his youth, Waro Kishi did not care much about history. In 1994, he was commissioned to rebuild a historic Japanese temple, Daitoku-ji, one of
