Urban Development to snatch Architecture Education from HRD.

The NDA government is set shift Architecture education from Human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry’s purview to the Urban Development Ministry. HRD Ministry had already opposed the proposal in a meeting held at the Cabinet Secretariat last month. The move was communicated by the Cabinet Secretary’s office to the two ministries. The change will be formally notified through an amendment to the Allocation of Business Rules 1961, which enlists responsibilities of each ministry under the Union government. The Architects Act, 1972 under the Department Of Higher Education in the AOB rules will be deleted through a gazette notification, sources said.

So what do you do when the penthouse atop the 15 story building you're renovating has a small unused space that was originally constructed as a shaft for a second elevator?

While the floor is presumably thick enough to support even the heaviest of patrons, it looks like it's been further reinforced with metal crossbeams. Or at the least, they're there to give the illusion it's been strengthened. But we think we'll just hold it till we get home, thanks.

Centre Georges Pompidou Built in Paris between 1971 and 1977, the Pompidou Center is the proud home to a public library, the largest modern art museum in Europe (the Musée National d’Art Moderne), and a top-of-the-league music and acoustics study center. Piano built the structure as an over-the-top ode to high-tech architecture in which he strives to reveal a building’s inner workings and technological marvels that typically remain hidden beneath its surface. Parco della Musica Considered one of the most-visited music facilities in the world, Rome’s Parco della Musica was designed by Piano on the same grounds of the 1960 Summer Olympic Games. The facilities comprise three massive dome-like structures that hold three separate concert halls. One unique note about the construction: in forging new ground, Piano and co found remains of the old. The construction process unearthed an ancient Italian villa that Renzo Piano decided to include in his designs. The Shar
