sj14b-DREAM HOUSE BUBBLE DIAGRAM

I used line weights and different types of lines to show the importance of each room and relationship between rooms.My dream house is simple but modern. I don't want my house to be too big nor to small. My dream house is for me and my family to stay in.We were given a lecture about bubble diagram, and we learned the functions of it. Through bubble diagram, we can understand the usage of space within a building and how does each of the spaces connects to each other.

SJ12 3 BUILDING CONCEPTS

Modern skyscrapers in the City of London,England,is shaped like a missile or a cucumber.While some people ridicule the strange design,some are struck by its authenticity.With the size of times higher then Niagara Falls.

The concept for school is generated based on the green architecture pinciples-respecting the environment.The psychological interaction the users ,physical structure and the surrounding environment is provided through potentials and feature elements of the site( river,greenery and views)

Big proposed a museum below ground that is both flexible and incorporates the dramatic use of daylight.The underground Museum station has a glass roof,and it will offer you tranquil view of the surrounding rain tree canopy.

DELL INSPIRON 1525 REVIEW

The Dell Inspiron 1525 falls in the category of a little expensive budget notebooks offering good range of features and performance. It aims to handle everyday computing tasks with ease and looks good while doing them. It is an updated version of Inspiron 1520 which was a fatter and weightier brother of 1525. You can already see the 1525 making way into many homes and here is something that we experienced after using the device. Read on to find our opinion.

DESIGN

slim and light XPS M1330 and XPS M1530

The Inspiron 1525 is 25% smaller and 30% slimmer and half a pound lighter than the previous but still it cannot be placed in the category of thin and light notebooks.

Processor, RAM and HDD

The standard system comes with a Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 clocking at 2.0 GHz with 2 MB L2 cache and 800 MHz FSB. It also has a good 2GB DDR2 RAM with 667 MHz speed. The system performed very well with this configuration but the entry level options are very much slow and unfit to yield good performance. The 160 GB 7200 RPM SATA HDD also delivers far better speed than the 5400 rpm drives.

Display

three options of screen for Inspiron 1525. One is matte finish 15.4 inch Widescreen with XGA resolution (1280 X 800), a 15.4 inch Widescreen of same resolution but with TrueLife glossy finish and another with some extra resolution of WXGA (1440 X 900).

Keyboard and TouchPad

The keyboard is firm and comfortable with good key travel and cushion similar to the 1520. The touchpad is also good and responsive. The buttons felt good with a decent click sound. We love the dedicated scrolling areas which are very useful scrolling through large webpages.
