Architects are sexiest..Are They???
Architects are sexiestWhat’s wrong with being sexy?Architects have been voted the sexiest male professionals in a survey of women’s ideal partners.The survey, conducted by the introduction agency Drawing Down the Moon, found that women favoured architects “due to the esteem associated with the profession”.Architects are seen as being “balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thoughtful disposition”, the survey found. It concluded: “Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.”Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctors, film directors and teachers on the top spot.However female members of the profession fared less well and did not feature in the top 10 out of male preferences.RIBA president David Rock commented that architects were probably unaware of their animal magnetism: “Architects were probably the only group on the list whose self-image is lower than their public image”, he said, but added: “Mind you, you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachers”.RIBA Architecture Gallery director Alicia Pivaro, who is married to architect Paul Monaghan, said she thaugt male architects were highly attractive: “Being married to the architecture’s Mr Sexy, I would have to agree.”But she was surprised at the failiure of women architects to appear on the list. “All the ones I know are very sexy”, she said.Men instead voted PR executives the sexiest profession for females, followed by actresses and journalists.
Is Mies’s work sexy? Yes, I think so, for all its transparency it uses light and reflection to change and slowly unfold the space. The best of the buildings elicit a response like that the architect himself had on Dr. Farnsworth at their first meeting: “The effect was tremendous, like a storm, a flood or other act of God.” His interior spaces are legendary. They change with the time of day and the season. The shiny, reflective metals, the rich leathers, the tactile fabrics, the reflections from the glass radiate luxury and a Weimar noblesse and seductiveness. The polished metal curves of his Brno or Barcelona chairs have a sexiness about them. They beckon your touch. The one phrase that can be credited to him alone is “almost nothing.”

only at 1 side maybe architects are sexiest... in a reality it is a really hard. for me architecture means dreaming up design that sometime it make me like an insane person or exactly called crazy..crafting models, rendering drawings, writing essays, enduring criticism.. oh gosh!! during this time it likely in the hell..i always be fire by lecture..but i must backup my design..
sometimes i feel a very bad condition and much more..a lot of time i must sacrifies especialy my bed time..i always "mengeluh" ..yesterday i already face submission drawing and hell criticism...sometime make me cry..i try to think positive.."as an architecture student i am looking forward to these fresh changes and challenges, thought no without small measure and trepeditation. only god knows how i feels..

IsTaNa PaGaR RuYuNg


Adityavarman dipercayai telah menubuh kerajaan Pagar Ruyung dan memerintah di kawasan Sumatra tengah dari 1347 hingga 1375 dan menguasai perdagangan emas di sana. Beberapa artifak yang ditemui dari era pemerintahan Adityawarman ini termasuk batu-batu yang mengandungi inskripsi dan beberapa tugu-tugu. Artifak-artifak ini kebanyakkanya dijumpai di Bukit Gombak, sebuah bukit yang berdekatan dengan kawasan Pagar Ruyung moden, dan dipercayai telah berdiri sebuah istana di sana.
Menjelang kurun ke-16, selepas pemerintahan Adityawarman, diriwayatkan bahawa pemerintahan beraja berpecah kepada tiga. Mereka adalah "Raja Alam", "Raja Adat" dan "Raja Ibadat". Mereka bertiga dikenali sebagai "Rajo Tigo Selo" atau Raja Tiga Kedudukan.
Orang Eropah pertama yang memasuki daerah ini adalah Thomas Dias, seorang Portugis yang digaji oleh gabernor Belanda d pada masa itu Dia dikatakan mengembara dari pantai timur untuk tiba ke kawasan tersebutdan melaporkan, kemungkinannya dari cerita orang, bahawa terdapat istana di Pagaruyung dan pelawat perlu melalui tiga pagar untuk memasukinya. Dia melaporkan bahawa kerja utama penduduk tempatan pada masa itu merupakan mendulang emas dan pertanian.
Peperangan saudara berlaku pada tahun 1803 di antara puak fundamentali yang dikenali sebagai Kaum Padri dengan keluarga diraja Pagar Ruyung. Semasa konflik ini, ramai keluarga diraja Minangkabau telah terbunuh pada 1815 atas perintah Tuanku Lintau.
Pihak Inggeris telah menguasai kawasan persisiran barat Sumatra dari 1795 hingga 1819. Samford Raffles telah menziarahi Pagar Ruyung pada 1818, tiba ke sana melalui pantai barat, dan ketika itu telah dibakar hangus ketanah sebanyak tiga kali. Ia dibina semula selepas dua kebakaran pertama, tetapi ditinggalkan selepas kebakaran ketiga dan Raffles mendapati hanya pokok beringin/ waringin saja yang tinggal.
Pihak Belanda kembali ke Padang pada Mei 1819. Hasil perjanjian dengan beberapa orang penghulu dan waris keluarga di raja Minangkabau yang dibunuh, pasukan Belanda membuat serangan pertama mereka ke atas kampung Padri pada April 1821.

ISTANA SERI MENANTI
Istana ini setinggi empat tingkat. Pelan asalnya telah direka oleh dua orang tukang Melayu bernama Kahar dan Taib. Tukang Kahar telah dianugerahkan gelaran Dato' Panglima Sutan oleh Tuanku Muhammad kerana khidmat beliau. Pelan istana ini telah diperincikan semula oleh Ketua Pelukis Pelan, Mr. Woodford dari Jabatan Kerja Raya, Seremban dan telah diluluskan pada bulan November 1902 oleh Jurutera Negeri dan Residen British.
Istana ini mempunyai 99 batang tiang termasuk empat batang tiang seri yang panjangnya 67 kaki. Keempat-empat tiang ini telah diambil dari Bukit Pergai, Jelebu. Kayu-kayu lain diambil dari Bukit Tinggi iaitu jenis kayu penak. Keunikan istana ini ialah ia tidak menggunakan sebarang paku besi tetapi pakunya diperbuat daripada kayu yang dipanggil pasak.
Istana ini telah digunakan untuk upacara mengadap yang diadakan tiga tahun sekali. Pada tahun 1926, Pesuruhjaya Tinggi, Sir Lawrence Gullmard telah turut hadir dalam upacara tersebut.
Istana ini juga pernah digunakan oleh Majlis Agama Islam Negeri Sembilan untuk dijadikan Sekolah Menengah Agama Tinggi pada tahun 1959 sehingga tahun 1964. Kemudian istana ini dibiarkan kosong tanpa penghuni sehingga pada tahun 1992. Atas kesedaran DYMM Tuanku Jaafar Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Abdul Rahman, istana ini dengan rasminya diwartakan sebagai 'Muzium Diraja'. Perasmiannya telah dilakukan pada 14 Julai 1992 bersamaan 14 Muharram 1413 Hijrah. Pengurusan Muzium Diraja ialah di bawah pentadbiran Lembaga Muzium Negeri, Negeri Sembilan.
Mulai saat inilah Muzium Diraja Istana Lama Seri Menanti telah bertukar wajah dengan mempamerkan koleksi-koleksi keluarga Diraja. Setiap ruang telah diisi tanpa mengubah bentuk asal istana bagi menerangkan fungsi ruang-ruang tersebut. Penambahan bahan koleksi Muzium dilakukan dari semasa ke semasa dengan kerjasama pihak istana.

When the transformation occurs at constant pressure:
- ∆H > 0
and constant volume:
- ∆U > 0
If the surroundings do not supply heat (e.g., when the system is adiabatic), an endothermic transformation leads to a decrease in the temperature of the system.
Some examples of endothermic processes are:
ExOtheRmiC ProCeSS
Exothermic refers to a transformation in which a system releases energy (heat) to the surroundings:
- Q <>
When the transformation occurs at constant pressure:
- ∆H <>
and constant volume:
- ∆U <>
In chemical reactions, the heat that is released is in the form of electromagnetic energy. The loss of kinetic energy via reacting electrons causes light to be released. This light is equivalent in energy to the stabilization energy of the energy for the chemical reaction, i.e. the bond energy. This light that is released can be absorbed by other molecules in solution to give rise to molecular vibrations or rotations, which gives rise to the classical understanding of heat. In contrast, when endothermic reactions occur, energy is absorbed to place an electron in a higher energy state, such that the electron can associate with another atom to form another chemical complex. The loss of energy within solution is absorbed by the endothermic reaction and therefore is a loss of heat. This is the physical understanding of exothermic and endothermic
reactions within solution.
Examples:
Some examples of exothermic processes are:
- Condensation of rain from water vapour
- Combustion of fuels such as wood, coal and oil
- Mixing water and strong acids
- Mixing alkalis and acids
- The setting of cement and concrete
- Most polymerisation reactions such as the setting of epoxy resin

RooF


A roof is the covering on the uppermost part of a building. A roof protects the building and its contents from the effects of weather. Structures that require roofs range from a letter box to a cathedral or stadium, dwellings being the most numerous.
In most countries a roof protects primarily against rain. Depending upon the nature of the building, the roof may also protect against heat, against sunlight, against cold and against wind. Other types of structure, for example, a garden conservatory, might use roofing that protects against cold, wind and rain but admits light. A verandah may be roofed with material that protects against sunlight but admits the other elements.
The characteristics of a roof are dependent upon the purpose of the building that it covers, the available roofing materials and the local traditions of construction and wider concepts of architectural design and practice and may also be governed by local or national legislation.

Between the runny-nose and the annoying sneeze
I'm not introducing self-pity here but yours truly has been hit by a bad cold, so bad i can only speak with my nostrill. And since its not very hygiene, my communication is limited to one word syllable or continuous rambling. That 4 letter word has been put to good usage.
People must agree that blowing your nose and concentration weren’t made for each other and class is a nightmare. even the sight of interesting humors failed to raise the slightest interest, and everyone else is just dammmmmmm annoying (and vice versa).my head is spinning, my throat is sore, my muscle aches, my nose is leaking, my eye balls are boiling and i cant stop feeling sorry for myself. Chasing all those 'target' during my class day was a mistake, i admit......guess I’m just moody along that day.......ahhh, what would i give for hot chocolate or hot mocha.......
