Richard Meier’s Time-Space, Place-Form and Color-Light (Past and New Reflections on the Starchitect’s Getty Centre and Selected Major Works until 2000)
Abstract: The focus of this article is in the reflection on some important architectural concepts that seem to ‘color’ Richard Meier’s work: Time, Space, Place, Form, Color and Light. On the other hand, this is not a philosophical discourse, a theoretical treatise, nor it is a chronological paper about Richard Meier’s work, but rather an aesthetic reflection and a conceptual query. In order to achieve this, the article will nonetheless use …

Going Concomitant with Architecture
Abstract: Art and Architecture have always been discussed conjointly but are not dealt with by many as a framework of the creation of a being whether a building or any mass. Architecture, which is always a part of art with a defined meaning and has logic behind it, is conceived within a set of parameters. The paper discusses the parameters to describe the various forms of art within architecture. It is …

Analysis of RC Structure with Shear Walls at Different Locations in Different Seismic Zones
Abstract: As the world moves towards development and transformation, the need for high rise buildings becomes prominent to overcome lack of horizontal land expansion. High rise buildings are often susceptible to lateral forces such as earthquakes and winds as compared to low rise buildings. This accounts for structural engineers to carry out various seismic analysis and implement lateral force resisting systems such as shear walls, braces and moment resisting frames in …

Potential of Limestone Powder in the Production of Self Compacting Concrete
Abstract: Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a cutting-edge building material. It's a smooth, durable concrete that fills the formwork completely. The SCC needs a lot of powder to perform well (mostly cement). However, increasing the cement content is impractical and may result in greater hydration heat and drying shrinkage. This project studies the effect of limestone powder (LSP) on the fresh and hardened appearances of SCC. To evaluate the samples with and …
