THEME OPTION 2

Connections - 'Technology /Space syntax/ Connecting people' 

'How technology had become so advanced that it needed a specialist to carry out that role and how it was taken away from the Architect'

'How we can use technology can be used to connect people with each other rather than isolate them'

With technology in all aspects becoming more and more advanced, from mobile phones to building construction, to machinery, the human touch is becoming less prominent. In the coming years it will most likely continue to reduce. The introduction of 'Space Syntax' aims to use this ever growing technology in a way to bring people and communities back together by simply researching patterns in the community which derive from culture, lifestyle, professions, behaviour and so on to then documenting and using the information to create cities where people come together rather than being divided.

THEME OPTION 1

  The evolution of Human and animal and the theories which stem from this topic go all the way back to … When the world was at one point said to run by animals due to the non-existence of humans, how, why and when did humans take control. If we take the idea of evolution and how monkey became man, isn’t the world we live in more theirs than ours?   The existence of Zoo’s and their need in the world is an issue which has been going on for years. As some argue this is a way to save an animal from extinction, others may argue the unnecessary need to cut down rain forests and turning green field land into buildable land is simply not needed. The idea of using extinction as a reason for the existence of Zoo’s is what this essay will be evaluating. The aim of this paper is to highlight the issues and problems found in the world, in terms of protecting animals by creating supposedly ‘habitable caged environments’ whilst linking animal to humans. Evaluating why there became ...
