The Hongkong Bank Building
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper discussing several design points of this product of Sir Norman Foster. Notorious as being the most expensive high-rise built to date, construction took place between 1979 and 1986. The building retains its distinction as being the costliest; it also retains its breathtaking qualities. The purpose here is to address the technical aspects of design. The paper discusses external structural elements, Hong Kong building code, steel treatment, the use of steel pins in the suspended structure and other elements. Appearances do not speak to the exhaustive testing and creative measures used in design and construction. While there is more to any building than that which meets the eye, the Hongkong Bank building takes that idea to extreme limits. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Manufactured Home Industry
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages. There is no doubt that the manufactured housing industry has come a long way since the prefabricated homes of the 1950's and 1960's, commonly referred to as 'trailer houses.' Fighting to overcome a dubious image, the contemporary modular housing concept of today is one of beauty, stability, and affordability. While this industry has literally remade itself from the ground up, it still carries with it a social stigma of the days gone by. That of the old time trailer parks, and the type of people who inhabit them. This paper will serve to focus on the facts of the industry today and enlighten the reader as to what it means to own a modular home in these times. No longer the eyesore of yesteryear, the modular homes have improved light years over their historic original counterparts; but the public image is having trouble keeping up. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
