Architectural Analysis of Famous Building
With the completion of construction on the Civic Center in 1996, the San Francisco Main Public Library's ambitious design project transformed its previously staid building into an architectural representation of the city itself. By fusing a modern sense of sustainable building with his own take on the traditional Beaux-Arts style, lead designer James Ingo Freed, of the renowned firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, along with associate designer Cathy Simon of the firm Simon Martin-Vegue Winkelstein Moris, managed to erect a fitting contribution to one of America's most historic yet progressive metropolitan centers. The New Main Library was designed on a fittingly massive scale, with its 375,000 square feet providing twice the amount of usable space as the previous library building. The building's expansive scale was also intended to assure proportionality with the library's monumental neighbors throughout the Civic Center.

Freed paid homage to the dominance of Beaux-Arts influence on the Civic Center by adorning the west and north sides of the New Main Library, which face City Hall and the adjacent ceremonial boulevard, in classical facade constructed of Sierra White granite obtained from the same quarry used to provide its prominent neighbors with stone and building materials (San Francisco Public Library, 2013). As respected architectural reporter commentator Herbert Muschamp, of The New York Times, observed in his original review of the New Main Library, "walls of silvery-gray granite are set with pilasters and rows of windows with Roman grilles (and) there is a row of stylized palmettes at the roof line" (1996), with these classical touches respecting the century-old design of the Civic Center's most historic buildings. To complete the binary design, Freed and Simon elected to cloak the east and west sides of the New Main Library, which face away from the Civic Center and…

Project Management, Sustainability and Whole Lifecycle Thinking Module 5 Case -- the Research Essay For nearly the entirety of human civilization, thinkers, philosophers, and indeed most human beings, have struggled to determine the most elusive aspects of identity. Balancing the essence of human nature against the effects of environmental influence eventually formed the foundation of the ongoing debate concerning nature vs. nurture. With the advent of remarkable technology capable of mapping the
Project Management, Sustainability and Whole Lifecycle Thinking ITT Project Management - Sustainability and Whole Lifecycle Thinking Although the sustainability movement has been advocated predominately in response to the irresponsible expansion of inefficient infrastructure by industrialized nations, with the United States and Japan now making significant efforts to embrace "green" growth practices, a growing movement has emerged that promoting sustainability throughout developing nations presents the most productive path. Even as the most modernized
Furthermore, the proper selection of the team provides a means of determining general responsibilities for each team member involved. They will need to know the overall scope of their service while also knowing their overall design responsibilities as compared to their peers. In addition, their contracts will be a directly correlated to the contract and specifications of the client involved. This is important as it aligns the motivations of
