The writing should follow the steps given in the uploaded files. 2 of the references in the writing should be from the readings attached. Building A should be in the Nightingale Epoch, St. Thomas Hospital, London, 1871. ?unalterable) Building B can be The Royal Children’s Hospital, Australia (can be any modern hospital). The whole writing MUST avoid Plagiarism. The structure should reference the Harvard comparative analysis template, links below: https://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/pages/how-write-comparative-analysis

Write a double-spaced, 5-6 page description of McKim, Mead, and White’s Pennsylvania Station in New York (1906-1910) based upon the images in this pdf. This paper will familiarize you with the way buildings are represented by studying plans and photographs. This is a looking exercise that asks you to use these documents to draw conclusions about what you can observe in the manner of an architectural historian. Indeed, since the station was demolished in 1963 and you never can visit it, these images and plans are the only surviving evidence! You can also find information about Pennsylvania Station in our textbook. This is a looking exercise, so you don’t have to do additional research, but if you do use any information from the textbook – or any other source– it must be cited with a numbered footnote located at the bottom of the page or points will be deducted. Points are taken off for using Wikipedia. For each footnote, you must provide the author, name of the book, publisher, date published, page number, etc. The footnote function is part of your word-processing program. Putting a page number in parentheses is not adequate. If you are unsure about how to footnote, consult The Chicago Manual of Style, The Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook, or your teaching assistant. Your 5-6 paper should be written as separate answers to the following questions. Number the pages. Refer to the images by using the numbers in the pdf file (figure 1 etc.). Discuss all the images. You do not need to attach the images when you hand in your paper.  Using figure 1, describe the station’s relationship to its site. How is the station different from the buildings around it? How does it relate to the train tracks in the lower left-hand corner of figure 1. The large rectangular building in the foreground of fig. 1 is a post office also designed and built by McKim, Mead, and White in a style similar to the station. Think about how mail might have been delivered in those days. Why was it efficient to locate the post office on top of the railroad tracks?  Describe the exterior of the station (fig. 2). Is it humble, monumental etc.? Compare it to the buildings discussed in recent lectures, which can be found in our textbook. What style of architecture from the past was the station inspired by? What type of impression were the architects trying to make? Describe the plan of the station (fig. 3). Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? Rational or confusing? What are the most important spaces? By studying the plan and figures 4-8, describe how you might arrive at the station, buy a ticket and get on a train. How does the driveway and bridge in figure 6 make the building more accessible from the surrounding streets or easier to use? What else might you do in the station as you prepare for your trip or wait for your train? Judging from the plans, how might this experience be different for men and women in 1910? What can you infer about society in 1910 from the way these spaces are allocated? Looking at fig. 7 & 8, describe the similarities and differences between the general waiting room and the concourse in terms of structure, materials, decoration or the absence of it. Clearly, the building is based upon historical precedents. Do you think the use of such precedents is appropriate for a 20th-century train station? Be sure to express your opinions. REMEMBER TO CHECK: Was your paper written as separate answers to the questions? If you took information taken from other sources, did you footnote it?

NIMBY  is a concept that describes the negative attitudes against a project  that benefits the greater community. This mentality is one in which even  though people are generally supportive of a project that will  benefit the greater community, they don’t want to suffer the burden of  bearing the cost(s) of the project. In terms of power generation, one of  the biggest reasons against power plants, especially wind farms, is  “visual intrusion.” Opponents of projects like these don’t want an  eyesore as well as any noise, negative impacts on wildlife and displaced  agricultural land. Something else to consider is whether or not the  project will have an effect on property values which can serve to  bolster NIMBY sentiment. Having this mindset affects power delivery in that residents  are forgoing access to more reliable power in favor of maintaining  aesthetics or reasons like those listed above.  This attitude halts  progress and can ultimately waste money if proposed projects in an area  where they have to jump through hoops to get local approval. Look at the  Cape Wind Project for example, which was initially proposed in 2001 but  died by litigation 16 years and 100 million dollars later. 

Hello, I need this research for publication. The topic shall focus on the impact of architecture
on spreading or minimizing the spread of the virus, covid 19. The Architectural design fails during covid 19 and therefore what alternatives or design solutions should be designed/prepared for a better architecture in order to protect occupants and minimize the spread of such viruses

Provided is the first and second level plan of a two story building. The building is a sprinklered building. Based on the floor plan provided- (this needs to be worked out for both floors) Identify the occupancy classification of each area hatched ( you can assume a common occupancy for a single hatched color) Determine the occupant load for each of the hatched areas Determine how many exits are required from each area Show the route the occupants will take in an emergency to safely exit the building Determine the occupant load at each stair exit and the final occupant load at each exit to the outside at the lower level Determine how wide the stairs need to be for the occupant load that it will support What should be the minimum tread and risers Do the stair need to be accessible or not at the upper level? What should be the minimum width of the corridor based on occupant load What should be the maximum travel distance Do the corridors need to fire-rated and if so what should the fire-rating be? What is the minimum door widths required based on occupant load?

I would like you to write an article about the topic above for an architectural magazine to be published within this month. Please include high resolution images if possible ( plans, 3Ds,,,,etc any architectural related photos ). Please note that Iraq is where cradle of civilization emerged. Discuss the article with examples from those times alongside with examples of buildings in terms of design of modern days. ( you can create like a timeline thing in sequence). Thank you
