Dexter by Design

Everyday I learn that design is more complex than I previously thought it was. My initial thoughts were that design was focused around profit. For some reason I perceived that the objective was to simply make money. My original goals were to become famous with an idea. Now that I understand design should be focused more around people like Timothy Prestero mentioned, I realize that design is not focused on fame. Design should be geared towards making things more functional for the users. I…

preferring the non-obvious over the simple, straightforward architecture. In my opinion this is what makes architecture interesting and exciting. Venturi also mentions The pavilion by Mies Van der Rohe where he criticizes the over simplification of the design. How ever I disagree with his argument because the beauty of architecture is a combination of styles that vary from simple to complex. Therefore as much as complexity is needed in architecture, simplicity should exist in order to help…

A. Primary Objective Create a model for identifying new towns for creating distribution footprint. B. Tools used 1. Census Town List 2. Nielsen Hit List 3. Google Maps 4. Local Survey C. Research Methodology The research was conducted in three phases: 1. Analysis of the company data, i.e. Census Town List and Nielsen Hit List: raw data was provided to us by the Perfetti Van Melle’ MIS team regarding the geographical area we were going to work in. In my case it was Rural Punjab. They gave…

engineers can design a house, but an architect cannot design the infrastructure of a freeway system. The fundamental differences that architecture features are that an architect’s education is based on art more than science, whereas a civil engineer’s education, focuses on science more than art. This essay…

but what did appear was often symbolic. They could be described as almost dystopian, an alternative horror reality. “The dramas and set designs were atmospheric, and moody. The plots were broken and disjointed, where many of the characters were nameless, had a lack of a personality, but were stereotypes and caricatures. Just like the characters the set design was abstract, exaggerated,angular and disjointed, similar to a nightmare…

With the matrix structure, it overlaps both the functional design, which is what Omidyar initially started out with and the divisional design. Within the matrix structure method, employees belong to at least two groups at the same time. For example, within the functional areas Omidyar set up initially, someone in finance could have knowledge and work…

to get someone involved of the industrial design faculty to help with this research is based on the different approach of (design) ‘problems’ and the focus on the process due to the graduation studio. Industrial design is more focused on creating an experience rather than yielding products, just like what is becoming more and more important in the architecture profession and what the Digital Architecture studio about is. Besides, at the Industrial Design Faculty there is more knowledge of the…

3. Results and discussion 3.1. Grafting of CNT on the ramie fabric The schematic representation for the mechanism of ramie fiber surface treatments is shown in Fig. 2. For the alkali treatment of ramie fiber, the NaOH reacts with the hydroxyl groups of the ramie fiber as shown in Fig. 2(a). During silane treatment, the hydrolysis of silane takes place initially (Fig. 2(b)) which then reacts with the active hydroxyl functionalities in ramie fiber (Fig. 2(c)). Each silane molecule has three…

1.1 Explain the typical axis conventions of the following machine tool in the form of a written report. Lathe Machine Tool Lathe machine is a machine tool that rotates the work piece on its axis to perform various operations such as cutting, sanding, knurling, drilling, or deformation, facing, turning, with tools that are applied to the work piece to create an object with symmetry about an axis of rotation. (n.d.) Typical axis conventions of the Lathe Machine tool • The work piece is…

the second page jumps right into the engineering design process and contains a lot of diction only found among engineering texts. The company needed to find a way to make their tools more precise and more efficient, in order to speed up production in the factory. The author’s discuss the problem at hand, and how they came to a final solution. The author’s utilized great rhetoric throughout their abstract to convey the main points of their design solution to the rest of the discourse community.…
