<b>Why architects should learn to code?</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We know that we have to be contented with numerous topics besides computer science and it is also necessary for us to expertise those subjects that drives our real projects. It's true that an architect cannot expertise in all the domains related to an architectural project; like the whole list of design process, planning, managerial skills, administrative skills, project management, the business side of architecture, building rules, codes and list goes on.... Along with this never ending list of topics, do we need to learn programming? Then, why is the need for a computer programmer? If you look into the current scenario, the design tools are not considered as a tool for assistance, it is not driven by the architect, instead, the architect is driven by these tools making him to familiarize and use its limited functionalities hindering the designer to cognitively reason and to critically think; In short, the design solutions are not the actual solutions but an output produced by familiarizing the tools. Coding gives the designer an opportunity to practically apply logic through algorithms allowing the designer to customize and make iterations to the available tools. So, we also have to think about tools that are iterative in nature. I won't say that everyone should learn to code but learning allows an architect to produce rational and meaningful solutions. Also, I won't say that you have to be super expert in it; at least at a level of understanding the common logical operations would be fine. Fundamentally, at its core, all programming languages are similar; it can be related to the different languages we talk - sounds different but meaning remains the same. So, choose the best language.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafafa;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">We welcome your suggestions and your inputs on this subject. We'd like to know more about the most effective programming language used by architects today in the design domain and software development domain. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Please share your thoughts on this and we welcome criticisms if you disagree with us. </span><span style="background-color: #fafafa;"><span style="font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hope this helped. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Thanks for visiting our blog.

<div dir="ltr">
<b>Do architects have to learn web development?</b> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>Let me try to answer this question in a way that directed me to explore the area of web development. You can share your opinion if you don't agree with me. </i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Now, let's discuss on it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Why? What & How? </b>Let's keep this in mind before we start.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>The big Y</b>. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Firstly - why to learn web development?<br />
Web development - The subject is definitely inclined towards IT, Information Systems and Computer Science. Learning web development helps an architect to design his/her own architectural web portfolio independently and also know about the most advanced areas of web development that the architect can implement while creating the website design brief. I won't say that every architect should learn web design or development. But, when we look into the phases of design process involved in web development, there are specific areas related to design, especially the wireframing phase, which an architect can easily learn. While communicating with frontend developers of your website UI, it can easily help in translating your ideas. I won't suggest learning the backend technologies because it's bit complicated but an architect can know about the functional side of it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
At an inceptive stage of an architectural firm, a designer may not be able to afford the deployment of professional website as the cost involved in development and services are too high, especially, for website services and maintenance. This is what led me to learn about website development and blogging. And, many other reasons too. Anyway, let's not talk about that because you would have visited this blog to know about web development. I'll share here few steps involved in web designing. Very soon, I'll update the blog with a presentation on the same.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Basically, we need to know about the overall process involved in the website development.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
1. Detailed Specification (Brief)<br />
2. Wireframing and Structure<br />
3. Look and Feel<br />
4. Development<br />
5. Testing <br />
6. Launching<br />
7. Maintanence</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>Almost similar to the design process involved in architectural design. Ryt!</i> <i>But with little changes. </i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Wireframing and structure</b> is almost like 'concept development' which an architect can easily learn. I'll share here few sketches used in wireframing. You can also relate this to the term 'diagramming' used in the analysis sketches for making design decisions but with different needs and applications.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The next big questions is..</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>What</b><b>?</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
• <i>What are the needs?</i><br />
<i>• What should be the UI design?</i><br />
<i>• What is the structure of website?</i><br />
<i>• What is the content?</i><br />
<i>• What should be the user flow?</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Getting the answer for this is time consuming and its one of most critical stage for the designer. and by this time you'd be exhausted with no more watts. So let's end with what and shift to how? Now you can relax and see how the website functions and the improvements to be made for which, oftentimes, a feedback processes will be carried out.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>How?</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>• How to make iterations?</i><br />
<i>• How is the website functioning?</i><br />
<i>• How the site works?</i><br />
<i>• How is the UI?</i><br />
<i>• How to test?</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
and finally,<br />
• <i>How to improve?</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Key points to remember during the whole process.</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
• Needs<br />
• Goals<br />
• Plan <br />
• Content<br />
• Structure<br />
• UI Design<br />
• User flow<br />
• Performance Indicators<br />
• Front End - UI<br />
• Back End - Servers </div>
<div dir="ltr">

Many architecture students find it difficult to differentiate site analysis from site planning. Here we are sharing with you a figure to help you better understand the stage during which the site analysis is conducted in an architectural design process. Also the key points to be considered while conducting a site analysis is also given.<br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-dd277b62-a590-9476-5246-13845bc027a2"></span>In today's post I'm sharing about a literature review done for a vernacular architecture in Indonesia. Here I've included a post presentation that compares the responsive and resilient features of the identified building.<br />
<br />
<b>Why Vernacular Architecture?</b><br />
Vernacular Architecture is more challenging than any other field as it not only considers the technology associated with construction but also the local traditions and needs are answered in the most ingenuous and functional way.<br />
<br />
<b>An overview of Tongkonan</b><br />
<div style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tongkonan, is an indigenous house in the South Sulawesi island of Indonesia. The topography of Indonesia makes the place vulnerable to various hazardous situations such as flooding and earthquakes. </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The study area is in Indonesia, an archipelago, with a population of more than 230 million of which the majority of population depends on the local ecosystem's resources for survival. Tongkonan is a traditional house of Toraja District in Southern part of Sulawesi Island. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The climate of South Sulawesi is majorly classified as <b>Af</b> (Equatorial Climate - Rainforest) by the <b>Köppen-Geiger system</b>. The southern part of Sulawesi is characterised by humid tropical climate with constant temperature and the seasons are differentiated by the amount of rainfall received. The Tana Toroja regency covers an area of </span><a href="about:blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3205</span></a><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">km</span><span style="font-size: x-small; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">2</span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> located in South Sulawesi, Indonesia and is located approximately </span><a href="about:blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">300-600</span></a><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">m above sea level. The Torojan people are known for their culture and tradition. As their place was isolated for a long period of time by natural barriers they have practiced what they had inherent in them.</span><br />

<b style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: small;">Resilient and responsive features in the case of Tongkonan</span></b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An architectural solution that facilitates the rational functioning of eco system is needed for the local people and built environment to be resilient and responsive during unexpected challenges and vulnerable scenarios. The characteristics of the built environment may be influenced by the environmental and cultural factors. Here an identification of the spatial and structural features is carried out to review their responsiveness to contextual climate and resilience during vulnerable scenarios. This helps in relative classification of resilience and responsiveness and also the to see the extend of its influence over the comfort parameters and structural stability.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's talk about </span><span style="font-weight: bold; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in;">RUBBLE MASONRY</span></span><br />
<div style="direction: ltr; language: en-IN; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 10.0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0in; text-justify: inter-ideograph; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rubble masonry is adopted when the soil is poor and soft.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Procedure,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">1. First, a wide trench is made and the bottom is concreted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. In random rubble masonry, uneven and undressed stones of varying sizes are generally preferred for better stability . Rubble masonry is mainly used for the shallow foundation. It can also be extended to a wall. In some cases, it can also be a retaining wall.</span></div>

<a data-context="true" data-flickr-embed="true" data-footer="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/21965450@N05/aj1H79" title="Rubble Masonry"><img alt="Rubble Masonry" height="252" src="https://c3.staticflickr.com/6/5162/29265129674_d83fc6aee5_c.jpg" width="400" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The depth of the foundation generally depends on the load-bearing capacity of the soil. Depending upon the nature of soil various other techniques that can improve foundation stability are implemented along with the same. The size commonly taken is 45 cm of width and 100 to 120cm depth with ratio of 1:10 cement mortar or mud mortar</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The voids/gaps should be filled with smaller stones for proper bonding and for better stability</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The cornerstones must be aligned and packed properly. We need skilled masons in making a good rubble masonry. Unclean rubble masonry is easily identifiable by an expert which can greatly affect the stability of the superstructure. In some places where quarry stones are not easily available then laterite stone can be a substitute. The rubble masonry can also be made with mud mortar</span><br />

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VfrYLlCzmYM" width="560"></iframe> We know that there are lot of people living with a wide array of disabilities and chronic health conditions than ever before. This project is to promote the need for universal design which will design products, environments and communication that can be usable by all people.<br />
<br />
Illustration for Peace and Universal Design (Central Iconic Structure)<br />
Our thought was to make the central iconic structure to be functional and aesthetically pleasing. It is considered as a the heart of the site connecting all other zones.<br />
<br />
We tried to make the shape resemble the concept of 'unity in diversity' improvised with the tricolor lighting inspired from the national flag showing the integrity of our nation in promoting peace.<br />
<br />
The Centre is a dream for the differently-abled persons with the introduction of virtual reality which will create an interface to interact with anyone in this world.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This project is an academic research initiative in association with #IDS Architects #SPArchs. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our thought was to make the central iconic structure to be functional and aesthetically pleasing. It is considered as the heart of the site connecting all other zones.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We tried to make the shape resemble the concept of 'unity in diversity' improvised with the tricolor lighting inspired from the national flag showing the integrity of our nation in promoting peace.</span><br />
