“The tragic effects of terrorism have forced the new-construction industry to re-evaluate traditional methods of fire protection in commercial infrastructures. That includes everything from building codes, to structural design issues and the less durable fireproofing materials currently specified for commercial steel structures.” IssuesFireEffectsDesignBuildingMaterialsIndustryMethodStructureTerrorismProtectionTraditionalCodeTragicConstructionSteelInfrastructureEvaluateConstruction Industry Author:Craig Scott
“Through algebra you easily arrive at equations, but always to pass therefrom to the elegant constructions and demonstrations which usually result by means of the method of porisms is not so easy, nor is one's ingenuity and power of invention so greatly exercised and refined in this analysis.” MeanEasyResultsMethodInventionAnalysisConstructionEquationsElegantDemonstrationIngenuityRefinedAlgebra Book:1691-1695 Source: 1691-1695
“I have always made a point in my romances of basing my so-called inventions upon a groundwork of actual fact, and of using in their construction methods and materials which are not entirely without the pale of contemporary engineering skill and knowledge.” MadeFactsRomanceMaterialsSkillsMethodInventionContemporaryConstructionEngineeringPaleGroundworkSkills And Knowledge Book:Invasion of the Sea Source: Invasion of the Sea
“During the nineteenth century, the rapid emergence and proliferation of new manufacturing methods and building technologies led to the establishment of polytechnic schools that concentrated on the practicalities of engineering and construction rather than the niceties of stylistic correctness or adherence to established precedent.” SchoolTechnologyCenturyBuildingMethodConstructionEstablishmentEngineeringRapidsManufacturingNineteenth CenturyCorrectnessEmergencePrecedentProliferationPracticalityAdherenceNiceties Author:Martin Filler
“The fundamental idea of these pylons, or great archways, is based on a method of construction peculiar to me, of which the principle consists in giving to the edges of the pyramid a curve of such a nature that this pyramid shall be capable of resisting the force of the wind without necessitating the junction of the edges by diagonals as is usually done.” GivingIdeasDoneScienceForcePrinciplesWindCapableMethodFundamentalsEdgesPeculiarConstructionCurvesPyramidsResistingJunctionArchways Author:Gustave Eiffel
“The truth us that other systems of geometry are possible, yet after all, these other systems are not spaces but other methods of space measurements. There is one space only, though we may conceive of many different manifolds, which are contrivances or ideal constructions invented for the purpose of determining space.” MayDifferentTruthSciencePurposeSpaceIdealsMethodConstructionMeasurementGeometryManifold Author:Paul Carus
“Clearly, programming courses should teach methods of design and construction, and the selected examples should be such that a gradual development can be nicely demonstrated.” ShouldCoursesTeachExampleDesignDevelopmentMethodProgrammingConstructionSelected Author:Niklaus Wirth
