Where can I find Architectural design plans for Taiwanese houses? I recently started going back to school part time, trying to finish my architecture degree, and when my professor found out that I lived in Taiwan he gave me an assignment to design a full set of design plans and 3D renderings for various angles of the buildings interior and exterior. Even though I live in Taiwan I never actually paid much attention to the design of the buildings around me. So I am hoping some one can tell me where I can find blue prints, models, floor plans, anything like this that would help me to complete my assignment. I am not looking for anything fancy like Taipei 101 or the gigantic fancy houses suburbs of Taipei (mostly because they are too complex), rather I am looking for something like the normal 3-5 story houses, or even the traditional Chinese or Fukien style country homes. Anything that represents the houses that you see in Taiwan. Here are a few examples of the types of buildings that I am talking about. These are houses in Tainan in the An'Ping ~ (http://community.webshots.com/photo/fullsize/2145677290078206077oNRbQB) This is a blinding of traditional and modern Taiwanese housing in Tainan County (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2165/2197244026_4a8be8a419.jpg) This a traditional style Taiwanese house I don't think that it is a Fujian style but still in the ball park~ (http://community.webshots.com/photo/fullsize/1220262605049765968GposVB) This a modern style house in Taipei ~ (http://www.culture.gov.tw/d_upload_tca_pro/cms/image/A0/B0/C0/D0/E0/F997/283d1bc3-0bd8-4507-b4cd-c056b596e5ef.jpg) This is a typical house in Taichung (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3458/3870620876_909f00ffd6_o.jpg) If anyone has any sort of useful information about this your help will be very appreciated. Thank you

modern federal design sources? I recently moved into a 6-bed, 250-year-old row mansion built in the federal architectural style that is currently undergoing heavy renovation. I want it renovated somewhat to federal standards to preserve the house's glory, but also don't want to make it too museum-ish and fragile. Is there a source that someone can point me towards that deals with modern federal design?

Is it possible to revive and bring the old traditional Opera House to the Modern generation? through Interior Design and Architectural design of the performing arts theatre

Architectural Design help? I have to design a home that is basically a one story, 90 feet by 20 feet rectangle with the 90 feet side being where the front of the house is located.. I have a plot and floor plan but have no idea what I want to do with the exterior of the house. Could you show some homes (in links, pictures, etc.) that would be similar to the standards on my design? Preferably a modern/contemporary design. Thanks :)

Discuss the impact the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright made on modern architecture? Discuss the impact the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright made on modern architecture. Use the examples such as the Robie House, the Francis Little House, and the Guggenheim Museum. What was Wright's approach to architectural space and design? What role did the architect play with respect to the patron? Did Wright's style evolve during the course of his career?

What are your thoughts on modern Ponte Vecchios? One of my favorite architectural designs today is none other than the Kubuswoning in Rotterdam, Holland. It's an array of numerous tilted cube houses mounted on a footbridge. Here is a picture of it right here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rotterdam_Cube_House.jpg I think the architect borrowed the idea from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge in Florence, Italy. Anyway, would you support urban planning that entails building bridges with several houses and/or apartments on it overlooking a river? Imagine a bridge the size of the Brooklyn or Golden Gate Bridge that has a large quantity of residences on there. Would that be prime real estate? Would that help with urban sprawl? Here is a picture of the Ponte Vecchio to give an idea of what I'm describing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Italy_and_Greece_105.jpg Does anyone have any tangible thoughts on this?

What are four good examples of buildings that would help in choosing a deisgn for a museum? You are a member of and advisory board who answers to a public figure; someone who is in control of, and makes decisions concerning the architectural development of the city where you reside. It has been established that there is a need for a new museum to house the historic art and artifacts of the city and surrounding region. You have been given the responsibility to begin the search for the appropriate architect as well as inform the said public figure of the reasons why a particular architect/architecture is suitable for the charge of the museum. Your research begins with understanding historical models for museums and similar institutions. In your paper you must select four examples that programmatically fit your idea of “museum” and explain why you have chosen these buildings (note that the chosen buildings do not necessarily need to be museums). You must then present your findings to the board for review. It is your responsibility to explain why these models are good precedents, and then you must explain why, even though these where suitable at the time, they may not be suitable now. Also, you must reference four contemporary museums that you feel are appropriate in order to foster a connective historical understanding of your choices to your audience: the board. Essentially, you will be selecting buildings that can perform as a museum “type.” You will explain the positive, and potentially negative, attributes of the building as an historic model. The selection of the contemporary – modern – buildings is to reinforce both positive and negative elements. Remember, in the end, you are not selecting a “building.” You are educating a group of people in order for them to make the appropriate decisions on hiring an architect. You will not suggest an architect. The ideas in your paper are general. You should use thoughts discussed in the lectures as well as your individual research. Remember that notions of program, formal design, materials, structure and contemporary ideas are all constituents that should be used in your paper. Any suggestions?
