Architectural Designs - Architectural Applications From Design Knowledge Base

What's a good college that fits these criteria? And another question? Hey. I get fairly good grades (maintain an A-B average, mostly B's) and am looking for a college that's preferably in Texas or the surrounding states, but that isn't necessary. What is is that the college I'm looking for has the following: -Good architectural design courses -Good architecture & engineering courses -Naval ROTC I'm a junior, BTW, and decided to start looking into colleges before my senior year to avoid the mistake my brother made (he had to go through hell to get his application right and find someone that would take him). Any suggestions? Also, should I graduate from college first, then enlist (in, if you've read the above criteria, the Navy), or go in as enlisted, then go to college and continue as an officer?

Can Architectural engineering major student become licensed architect? Hello, I am going to study architectural engineering in Penn State in next school year. Since I was a kid, I always wanted to become an architect; designing the house and buildings...there's something so fascinating about it:) But when I was filling out the application, the architecture course in penn state was already filled, so I had to applied to architectural engineering. I found out that I'm still going to design the house and build the model, and I just need to take more physics and math classes than architecture major students do. am I correct here? But anyway what i want to ask is, if I study AE for four years and study architecture for two year in graduate school, can I become an architect? I mean do I get a chance to take ARE someday? or do I have to have bachelor's degree from undergraduate school to be able to study architecture in graduate school? I hope all these make sense to you....I;ve been so frustrated nowadays......:-/ Thank you.

Odds of being accepted into Northeastern University? So I use college prowler a lot, but if someone who has gone through the application process can help me out I would really appreciate it :-) My desired major would either be graphic design or preferably, architectural design or drafting. I'm entering my Junior year of high school, I live in New York. -My GPA is a 2.4/4.0, however my schools grades are extremely tilted because of the honors program. I would easily have a 3.0 at least in any of my neighboring school districts. -I am capable of scoring around 1800 on my PSAT, looking at the exam but I haven't taken the formal one yet. -I'm Jewish, and will be studying abroad in Israel for a semester this upcoming school year. -Upon graduation, I will have a NYS Advanced Regents Diploma in Art. -I have worked at a camp as a counselor for two years, I'm about to start a job at Starbucks coffee. -My extra-curricular activities include Amnesty International, a club composed of musicians at my school that has benefit concerts throughout the school year, my hebrew school, and my schools gallery club. -Sports I have participated in are JV Tennis my freshman year, and Novice Crew my sophomore year. -Leadership positions/awards are Secretary of Amnesty International at my school, 11th grade representative of my synagogues youth group (and instead of the normal application process for this, I was approached by the president and asked to join this, if that helps), and an award from the art and technology departments at my school for taking three or more classes offered by the departments. I also have many artworks that have been presented in school art shows. -I am building an extensive portfolio comprised of architectural hand/CAD drawings, photography, painting, perception drawings, computer graphics, etc. -I have a family member whose ex is school alumni, if that is counted towards me in anyway. I tried to list as much I could think of, but I am super nervous about being accepted and if I am I will need a lot of financial aid since my parents are divorced. The co-op program sounds interesting at Northeastern as I could pay most of my tuition through a internship at the school. Should I persue applying, or would I have a better chance of admissions looking elsewhere? Thank you so much for helping, I really appreciate it!

Please i need help reviewing my letter of intent.its my first time writing one.? Im applying to the school of architecture and environmental design (BEDs/M.Arch) at Dalhousie and I need help reviewing my letter of intent. Could any please be so kind to read through and give me their opinions/advice ? its quite lengthy (about 490 words) but the faculty site asked to include pretty much everything. I've never had reason to write a letter of intent before so this is my first. thank you. My name is Osah Russell. I am a 20 year old Nigerian male and currently a student enrolled under the Faculty of Engineering, of the Department of Petroleum Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. I am a broadly minded, creative thinker whose creativity and active imagination have evolved quite interestingly over the years into the deep passion I have for my environment, its contents and how proper environmental principles and structural design conceptualization as well as implementation can aid achieve the balance sought where man and his environment can exist in a feasible, symbiotically stable equilibrium. Consequently, I intend furthering my education at the University of Dalhousie under the School of Environmental Design and Architecture so as to partake in the highly competent learning atmosphere at an Institution that is passionate about architectural education, an Institution that upholds both high national and international reputations as well as standards and presently is the only architecture program in Canada that includes integrated co-op work terms alongside a compact yet comprehensive University schedule. Thus it has become my greatest priority to further my education at such an esteemed School and in due course form part of successful alumni at the University of Dalhousie. As aforementioned, I am presently studying Petroleum Engineering at the undergraduate stage. I just commenced my third year studies at the university level. I do some work as a graphic artist and sometimes work at a young local studio within the City of Port Harcourt. During the past three years of education at the University of Port Harcourt, I have learned skills that range from everyday communication and relations, change and conflict management to social and organizational learning.The team work experience garnered from work and time spent at the studio have also enhanced my ability to understand, appreciate and effect the required organization on my surroundings as well as compose my environment to fit prevailing working conditions.I am also quite versed with design oriented computer applications, primarily, Adobe's Photoshop and Autodesk's 3d's Max. Furthermore, I believe I possess outstanding written and oral communication attributes and have excellent creative, observational, appreciatory, and analytical skills essential to meet the intense demands requisite to pursue and obtain a professional degree in architecture at such a prestigious School. I am most confident I will like and indeed find motivating the subjects offered under the architecture program at The University of Dalhousie. I will also acclimatize to my environment using all apt and necessary means not only to elevate myself as a student but also as a critically thinking, resourceful mind, for the good of my fellow students and colleagues, the University at Dalhousie and my environment as a whole. Thus it is my sole intention to apply for the architecture program (BEDs/March) offered at the University Of Dalhousie under The School of Architecture. I will be most grateful if my application is considered in favourably. Sincerely Yours, Russell Osah.

I am 26, have a GED, and want to go to college. Can I? First off please dont respond with answers like "do your research" or generic usesless bits of info that are obviously not going to help. I do not want to go to community college. I dont care if its a good place to start, I want a four year university and I want to major in Design (interior/landscape/architectural) and minor in French. I am also considered low income. VERY low income. I have filled out the FAFSA but dont know which schools to apply to. in fact I cant afford to pay the application fees. Any suggestions on schools that would take me? I am willing to travel almost anywhere in the country or abroad. Also, how do I apply without money for the app fee? please dont answer "ask to borrow money" or "save up a lil extra cash" assuming I have 0 dollars and wont be getting ANY money from anywhere, is there a way to apply for free. so thats my question I guess. What are some good schools for my goals? How do I apply with 0 dollars? and Will a four year university take a GED? By the way I scored in the top 3 percent of GED takers in California.

hi i am in problem help me .. i am having problem in linux language about this question? given below is my question actually am not getting what actually to do i have to submit in one day please help me Inter–compatibility is one of the prime characteristics of Linux operation system. There are several architectural differences between windows and Unix/Linux architecture. This makes transition from windows to linux a confusing affair. In this problem the user will design a complete tutorial to familiarize a first time user of Linux operating system. Tutorial should highlight the key philosophical and operational differences between windows and Linux and can be made on any platform (C++, flash, HTML etc.). The students are required to use their creativity to achieve the purpose of the tutorial. To exemplify the tutorial can highlight the similarity between XMMS and Winamp media player, or it can highlight the use of wine – A famous windows program emulator to run native windows application on Linux. The focus should be on the quality and efficiency of the tutorial, rather than its length and coverage. Finally, the tutorial is expected to include audio/visual (text, speech, videos etc. ) elements and should be fairly interactive.

can some one review my application essay for Temple University, please? Imagine you have graduated from Temple University. You are preparing to attend your 10 years reunion, the alumni office has asked you to write a one page essay about personal and professional accomplishments since graduation. What would you say? What a decade! It was overfilled with accomplishments. Here I am in the same place, where I started my professional path not too long ago. In this place, I feel the same energy that I had once to achieve my goals before ten years. Throughout my road to success professionally and personally, I realized how this great place motivated me towards the fulfillment of my dreams. I also realized how to be a successful human being as part of larger successful society. In Temple University, I experienced a great educational environment, which provided me with all acknowledgments I needed to accomplish my ambitions. Interesting in architectural engineering, I attended Temple University as my first step in a corridor to become a professional architectural engineer. I challenged myself and became a proactive learner. I gained enormous skills and acquaintances during my studying years, wherefore; I felt that knowledge is spread throughout the entire camps, and it can be absorbed from the air. I discerned more educational material in every building, every classroom, and every corner of the camps. Motivated by my desire to achieve outstanding and marvelous accomplishments; I used my education and researched to manipulate some of the most impressive projects. Some of my extraordinary and remarkable accomplishments are buildings which able to resist against the world’s most devastating disasters like “09/11’s”, earthquakes, tsunamis, and etc. These outstanding projects were not just introduced to the world as guards to limit the loss of human in such situations, but it merged with a creative design to make them not merely exceptional but also terrific. In Temple University, I experienced extraordinary environment to improve professionally and personally. Great deal of socializing took place in Temple University. Communication among professors, students, classmates, and friends is a daily routine, upon which structured the community in Temple University. As citizen in that community, I absorbed the same configuration. Talking of personal accomplishments, I was surrendered by massive number of friends; I still in touch with some of my close friends and most of the audience here. I accompanied some of those friends the entire period I spent in Temple University. Furthermore, I discovered a wonderful treasure in the same place. I found my lovely wife, who graduated from Temple University as well and became a professional plastic surgeon. We enjoyed the same educational environment. We also were gifted with two wonderful children, to whom we will make sure to hand down every great principle we have learned. My professional life was not limited to architecture. I attempted to become a professional soccer player, and yet I succeeded. I had a long history in soccer as my middle school’s team captain in Egypt for two years in the row, and then I moved to United States. A year later, I attended Franklin Learning Center. I immediately joined the soccer team. After the first season, the coach decided that I deserve to be the captain of the team for next season. It was my last season in high school, since I only spent three years in high school. Yes, I graduated a year earlier. I took the same path in college as well. I was motivated to present outstanding performance by the same desire to be a professional architectural engineer. I challenged myself and my teammates to improve our skills and our ability to play as a team. As an aggressive defender and clever mid-fielder, I was chosen as captain once again. I was an effective part in the team, and helped to carry out victory after great number of games. In the past decade, I lived the most lucrative period of my life so far, and yet I am willing to achieve even more. I thank God that over-achieved my goals by great deal of help and motivation from every aspect in Temple University. My mission to make the world a better place began here. I am truly glad to be given this opportunity to thank every staff member, who helped me and helped every student to become successful human beings. Likewise, I would like to thank all of the audience for their attention. Also, I wish happy and successful lives for all of you to make the world a better place. I will appreciate your honesty, and FYI English is not my native language. I moved to the U.S 3 yrs ago Thank you for your time

Art Questions from my final exam? K12 Which phrase best describes a characteristic of the paintings of French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin? the depiction of figures and landscapes from the artist's imagination the rejection of Classical Greek and Roman figurative and landscape ideals the depiction of a narrative subject within an organized, idealized landscape the nearly photographic recording of figures within a landscape 6. Which statement best describes the technique that Baroque artist Rembrandt of the Netherlands used to apply paint on a canvas? (Points : 3) Rembrandt applied expressive strokes of thick paint by using the impasto technique. Rembrandt brushed the paint on smoothly to create solid-looking figures. Rembrandt vigorously applied paint to quickly capture a single moment in time. Rembrandt carefully applied paint to create imperceptible changes in tonal values. 7. Which of the following is a Rococo characteristic that French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau incorporated into his paintings? (Points : 3) Watteau depicted aristocrats within idyllic landscapes. Watteau used neutral colors to enhance the subject's serious nature. Watteau used strong variations of color. Watteau painted figures with no visible brushstrokes. 8. How did French artist Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin use Naturalist conventions in his paintings? (Points : 3) Chardin used delicate, lively brushwork to depict aristocratic genre scenes. Chardin incorporated the tenebrism technique developed by Caravaggio. Chardin used theatrical lighting to add to the drama of the scene. Chardin depicted ordinary people and activities with a sense of realism. 9. What architectural features of Monticello show that Thomas Jefferson based the design of the building on Neoclassical ideals? (Points : 3) Jefferson rejected Classical conventions in favor of new ideas. Jefferson incorporated architectural features of Greek and Roman architecture. Jefferson demonstrated his preference of asymmetrical floor plans with ornate details. Jefferson used architectural moldings reclaimed from ancient Roman buildings. 10. Why is Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix considered an example of Romantic art? (Points : 3) The painting conveys a sense of rationalism and reason inspired by Renaissance art. The painting uses color, lighting, and movement to elicit an emotional response from viewers. The painting has subtle, low contrast in the highlights and shadows that model the figures. The painting uses controlled brushwork to accurately depict the figures and background. 11. What photographic characteristic did Louis Daguerre exhibit in his daguerreotypes? (Points : 3) the capture of a permanent image with rich tonal variations and fine detail the projection of an image onto a metal plate that was then etched by using fine lines the exposure of a negative for a full day to capture intense light and shadow the treatment of a negative that produces a shallow depth of field 12. How did French artist Jean-François Millet incorporate conventions of Realism and Naturalism in his paintings? (Points : 3) Millet used a limited tonal range to depict contemporary figures in a flattened space. Millet used a thick, impasto application of paint for the figures to give them a sculptural appearance. Millet combined elements of the real world with images taken from his imagination. Millet depicted a scene from everyday, contemporary life by using lifelike colors and solid shapes. 13. Which of the following is a way that Realist Winslow Homer made Prisoners from the Front more lifelike? Homer used photographs that he took of soldiers as models for his painted figures. Homer used the camera obscura to trace the reflections of real soldiers onto canvas. Homer asked real soldiers to model for him in his studio while he painted. Homer made preparatory sketches of actual soldiers on the battlefield and at camp. 14. What technique did French Impressionist Claude Monet use in Waterlily Pond, Harmony in Pink to capture his impression of the scene on canvas? (Points : 3) quick strokes of color in neutral hues that reflect the true colors of objects frenzied brushstrokes that solidly model figures using light and shadow quick photographs of a scene that captured his impressions before painting dabs of pure, vibrant color that show changing light and weather conditions

If a conglomerate of suppliers produce subsystems which are to be "integrated", would "Saas integration" do? the job ? <<Saas Integration or Software as a Service Integration is computer software that is offered through a remote hosted deployment model that allows for the integration of information between systems. Terminology Saas Integration is computer software that connects software components delivered through software as a service (Saas) or hosted models to other applications. These applications can be themselves Saas applications or follow the typical deployment pattern behind a firewall. The software consists of a set of enabling services that allow multiple processes running on one or more machines to interact across the Internet and other networks. This technology evolved to provide for interoperability in support of the move to distribute functionality between managed and distributed architectures, which are used most often to support and simplify complex, distributed applications. It includes web servers, application servers, and similar tools that support application development and delivery. A concept refers to the ability of an organization to precisely define, easily integrate and effectively retrieve data for both internal applications and external communication. A business objective is focused on the creation of accurate, consistent and transparent information flows. Saas integration emphasizes flexibility, agility and responsiveness. It is concerned with how the capability is integrated into business applications as well as how it is passed along from one business process to another. Definition The Saas integration model and methods can be extended to include the integration of anything connected to the Internet - desktops, servers or data services. It is an extension of information integration beyond the traditional notion of firewall to include data, information and services that exist independently of one another, and can be regarded as either a capability or a method. Saas integration is where integration and information standards[1] are able to interact to enable the exchange of information across many types of systems. It is highly dependent upon architectural patterns such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)[2] methods such as web services and standards such as XML. Saas integration is not distributed computing or grid computing software where a program is broken into multiple parts and distributed across a network for processing. A key difference between Saas integration software and traditional integration is that it has the ability to express the integration points as services rather than end point destinations for data. Saas integration can be explained as either hosted middleware as a service or the ability to integrate Saas applications. Views of Saas integration There are two complimentary views of Saas integration. First is the capability of offering integration through a hosted outside of the firewall method which require process integration. This is the 'function of integration' itself which is expressed as middleware or information integration through a hosted model. The second is the process of integrating Saas capabilities into other applications. Saas Integration is not dependent on a specific technology strategy or related to an explicit definition. It arose to address circumstances where users within organizations and industries independently source, model, manage and access data. Purpose of Saas Integration Saas integration can be used for a number of purposes and scenarios, following are examples: To increase the flexibility in how an organization or a system can access or provide to different pieces of information To bridge disparate pieces of a process together To make available to an organization a Saas or hosted application through a common set of data interfaces. To reduce integration complexity and expense System Design Saas integration is closely related to the mathematical principals described in Complexity or Chaos Theory in that the more participants involved in the integration the further away from absolute control a system is under. The participants are then left to influence one another which are governed by information exchange standards and principles. Architecturally the principles can be based on patterns of Service Oriented Architecture - SOA and business management is based on a series of service level agreements either real or implied all of which are managed under a common governance framework. The management of Saas integration is enabled through orchestration of data and information flows within the system environment. This function typically takes place within the core systems behind a firewall. Complexity Increases with Saas Software Deployments One effect of Software as a Service is that it spawns a number of independent components and functionality that requires integration into other data flows. A simplistic design pattern is to create a point to point integration between sy

Where do I buy architectureal tension fabric, and how much does it cost? I'm an engineering student looking to design an aesthetically pleasing but durable light weight portable structure with tension fabric and a pvc pipe frame, but I'm not sure where to purchase architectural tension fabric. The structure needs to be large enough that it can comfortably house two individuals, but small enough that it could be erected by hand, so I'm thinking about 500 square feet of floor space and 10 to 12ft of verticle clearance would be ideal. Does anyone have a ballpark idea of how much something like that would cost? Any advice would be appreciated, and I am certainly open to suggestions for alternative materials if you feel these wouldn't be ideal for the application. -Thanks -James

Upgrading a Processor? I have a PC currently running windows XP professional. I am studying architectural design and need to upgrade my pc in order to run applications such as autocad 2007 smoothly. My motherboard is Intel® Desktop Board D915GAV i have 1gb of ram consiting of 2x 512mb. i wish to upgrade the process and was thinking of Intel Pentium® 4 650, 3.4 GHz would this be possible and if so how exactly do you remove the heat sink and fan and old processer? is this easy? how do you instal the new processer? can you reuse the old heat sink and fan?? or will this need to be replaced?? http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/D915GAV/index.htm

Why was my ucas application 'unsuccessful'? Im on my last year of doing my HND in Building studies- Architectural Design at greenwich uni. The course is run by greenwich uni.. They are suppose to accept a HND as entry into the 1st, 2nd or 3rd year of a degree such as architecture, construction etc. But for somereason on my ucas application, it has been unsuccessful, even though the HND is run by the same uni, that hasnt accepted me an offer.. why is this? I am predicted to get a Merit for this year.. I have got a Merit for the 1st year.. also I have good gcse's results A-D and got alevels D-E results .. Why did I get an unsuccessful for a BA in architecture?

Any advice? I'm writing my college application essay?

I need help understanding this article. Please see the article below. Thanks in advance.? What is a Social Fact? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before beginning the search for the method appropriate to the study of social facts it is important to know what are the facts termed 'social'. The question is all the more necessary because the term is used without much precision. It is commonly used to designate almost all the phenomena that occur within society, however little social interest of some generality they present. Yet under this heading there is, so to speak, no human occurrence that cannot be called social. Every individual drinks, sleeps, eats, or employs his reason, and society has every interest in seeing that these functions are regularly exercised. If therefore these facts were social ones, sociology would possess no subject matter peculiarly its own, and its domain would be confused with that of biology and psychology. However, in reality there is in every society a clearly determined group of phenomena separable, because of their distinct characteristics, from those that form the subject matter of other sciences of nature. When I perform my duties as a brother, a husband or a citizen and carry out the commitments I have entered into, I fulfil obligations which are defined in law and custom and which are external to myself and my actions. Even when they conform to my own sentiments and when I feel their reality within me, that reality does not cease to be objective, for it is not I who have prescribed these duties; I have received them through education. Moreover, how often does it happen that we are ignorant of the details of the obligations that we must assume, and that, to know them, we must consult the legal code and its authorised interpreters! Similarly the believer has discovered from birth, ready fashioned, the beliefs and practices of his religious life; if they existed before he did, it follows that they exist outside him. The system of signs that I employ to express my thoughts, the monetary system I use to pay my debts, the credit instruments I utilise in my commercial relationships, the practices I follow in my profession, etc., all function independently of the use I make of them. Considering in turn each member of society, the foregoing remarks can be repeated for each single one of them. Thus there are ways of acting, thinking and feeling which possess the remarkable property of existing outside the consciousness of the individual. Not only are these types of behaviour and thinking external to the individual, but they are endued with a compelling and coercive power by virtue of which, whether he wishes it or not, they impose themselves upon him. Undoubtedly when I conform to them of my own free will, this coercion is not felt or felt hardly at all, since it is unnecessary. None the less it is intrinsically a characteristic of these facts; the proof of this is that it asserts itself as soon as I try to resist. If I attempt to violate the rules of law they react against me so as to forestall my action, if there is still time. Alternatively, they annul it or make my action conform to the norm if it is already accomplished but capable of being reversed; or they cause me to pay the penalty for it if it is irreparable. If purely moral rules are at stake, the public conscience restricts any act which infringes them by the surveillance it exercises over the conduct of citizens and by the special punishments it has at its disposal. In other cases the constraint is less violent; nevertheless, it does not cease to exist. If I do not conform to ordinary conventions, if in my mode of dress I pay no heed to what is customary in my country and in my social class, the laughter I provoke, the social distance at which I am kept, produce, although in a more mitigated form, the same results as any real penalty. In other cases, although it may be indirect, constraint is no less effective. I am not forced to speak French with my compatriots, nor to use the legal currency, but it is impossible for me to do otherwise. If I tried to escape the necessity, my attempt would fail miserably. As an industrialist nothing prevents me from working with the processes and methods of the previous century, but if I do I will most certainly ruin myself. Even when in fact I can struggle free from these rules and successfully break them, it is never without being forced to fight against them. Even if in the end they are overcome, they make their constraining power sufficiently felt in the resistance that they afford. There is no innovator, even a fortunate one, whose ventures do not encounter opposition of this kind. Here, then, is a category of facts which present very special characteristics: they consist of manners of acting, thinking and feeling external to the individual, which are invested with a coercive power by virtue of which they exercise control over him. Consequently, since they consist of representations and actions, they cannot be confused with organic phenomena, nor with psychical phenomena, which have no existence save in and through the individual consciousness. Thus they constitute a new species and to them must be exclusively assigned the term social. It is appropriate, since it is clear that, not having the individual as their substratum, they can have none other than society, either political society in its entirety or one of the partial groups that it includes - religious denominations, political and literary schools, occupational corporations, etc. Moreover, it is for such as these alone that the term is fitting, for the word 'social' has the sole meaning of designating those phenomena which fall into none of the categories of facts already constituted and labelled. They are consequently the proper field of sociology. It is true that this word 'constraint', in terms of which we define them, is in danger of infuriating those who zealously uphold out-and-out individualism. Since they maintain that the individual is completely autonomous, it seems to them that he is diminished every time he is made aware that he is not dependent on himself alone. Yet since it is indisputable today that most of our ideas and tendencies are not developed by ourselves, but come to us from outside, they can only penetrate us by imposing themselves upon us. This is all that our definition implies. Moreover, we know that all social constraints do not necessarily exclude the individual personality. [1] Yet since the examples just cited (legal and moral rules, religious dogmas, financial systems, etc.) consist wholly of beliefs and practices already well established, in view of what has been said it might be maintained that no social fact can exist except where there is a well defined social organisation. But there are other facts which do not present themselves in this already crystallised form but which also possess the same objectivity and ascendancy over the individual. These are what are called social 'currents'. Thus in a public gathering the great waves of enthusiasm, indignation and pity that are produced have their seat in no one individual consciousness. They come to each one of us from outside and can sweep us along in spite of ourselves. If perhaps I abandon myself to them I may not be conscious of the pressure that they are exerting upon me, but that pressure makes its presence felt immediately I attempt to struggle against them. If an individual tries to pit himself against one of these collective manifestations, the sentiments that he is rejecting will be turned against him. Now if this external coercive power asserts itself so acutely in cases of resistance, it must be because it exists in the other instances cited above without our being conscious of it. Hence we are the victims of an illusion which leads us to believe we have ourselves produced what has been imposed upon us externally. But if the willingness with which we let ourselves be carried along disguises the pressure we have undergone, it does not eradicate it. Thus air does not cease to have weight, although we no longer feel that weight. Even when we have individually and spontaneously shared in the common emotion, the impression we have experienced is utterly different from what we would have felt if we had been alone. Once the assembly has broken up and these social influences have ceased to act upon us, and we are once more on our own, the emotions we have felt seem an alien phenomenon, one in which we no longer recognise ourselves. It is then we perceive that we have undergone the emotions much more than generated them. These emotions may even perhaps fill us with horror, so much do they go against the grain. Thus individuals who are normally perfectly harmless may, when gathered together in a crowd, let themselves be drawn into acts of atrocity. And what we assert about these transitory outbreaks likewise applies to those more lasting movements of opinion which relate to religious, political, literary and artistic matters, etc., and which are constantly being produced around us, whether throughout society or in a more limited sphere. Moreover, this definition of a social fact can be verified by examining an experience that is characteristic. It is sufficient to observe how children are brought up. If one views the facts as they are and indeed as they have always been, it is patently obvious that all education consists of a continual effort to impose upon the child ways of seeing, thinking and acting which he himself would not have arrived at spontaneously. From his earliest years we oblige him to eat, drink and sleep at regular hours, and to observe cleanliness, calm and obedience; later we force him to learn how to be mindful of others, to respect customs and conventions, and to work, etc. If this constraint in time ceases to be felt it is because it gradually gives rise to habits, to inner tendencies which render it superfluous; but they supplant the constraint only because they are derived from it. It is true that, in Spencer's view, a rational education should shun such means and allow the child complete freedom to do what he will. Yet as this educational theory has never been put into practice among any known people, it can only be the personal expression of a desideratum and not a fact which can be established in contradiction to the other facts given above. What renders these latter facts particularly illuminating is that education sets out precisely with the object of creating a social being. Thus there can be seen, as in an abbreviated form, how the social being has been fashioned historically. The pressure to which the child is subjected unremittingly is the same pressure of the social environment which seeks to shape him in its own image, and in which parents and teachers are only the representatives and intermediaries. Thus it is not the fact that they are general which can serve to characterise sociological phenomena. Thoughts to be found in the consciousness of each individual and movements which are repeated by all individuals are not for this reason social facts. If some have been content with using this characteristic in order to define them it is because they have been confused, wrongly, with what might be termed their individual incarnations. What constitutes social facts are the beliefs, tendencies and practices of the group taken collectively. But the forms that these collective states may assume when they are 'refracted' through individuals are things of a different kind. What irrefutably demonstrates this duality of kind is that these two categories of facts frequently are manifested dissociated from each other. Indeed some of these ways of acting or thinking acquire, by dint of repetition, a sort of consistency which, so to speak, separates them out, isolating them from the particular events which reflect them. Thus they assume a shape, a tangible form peculiar to them and constitute a reality sui generis vastly distinct from the individual facts which manifest that reality. Collective custom does not exist only in a state of immanence in the successive actions which it determines, but, by a privilege without example in the biological kingdom, expresses itself once and for all in a formula repeated by word of mouth, transmitted by education and even enshrined in the written word. Such are the origins and nature of legal and moral rules, aphorisms and popular sayings, articles of faith in which religious or political sects epitomise their beliefs, and standards of taste drawn up by literary schools, etc. None of these modes of acting and thinking are to be found wholly in the application made of them by individuals, since they can even exist without being applied at the time. Undoubtedly this state of dissociation does not always present itself with equal distinctiveness. It is sufficient for dissociation to exist unquestionably in the numerous important instances cited, for us to prove that the social fact exists separately from its individual effects. Moreover, even when the dissociation is not immediately observable, it can often be made so with the help of certain methodological devices. Indeed it is essential to embark on such procedures if one wishes to refine out the social fact from any amalgam and so observe it in its pure state. Thus certain currents of opinion, whose intensity varies according to the time and country in which they occur, impel us, for example, towards marriage or suicide, towards higher or lower birth-rates, etc. Such currents are plainly social facts. At first sight they seem inseparable from the forms they assume in individual cases. But statistics afford us a means of isolating them. They are indeed not inaccurately represented by rates of births, marriages and suicides, that is, by the result obtained after dividing the average annual total of marriages, births, and voluntary homicides by the number of persons of an age to marry, produce children, or commit suicide. [2] Since each one of these statistics includes without distinction all individual cases, the individual circumstances which may have played some part in producing the phenomenon cancel each other out and consequently do not contribute to determining the nature of the phenomenon. What it expresses is a certain state of the collective mind. That is what social phenomena are when stripped of all extraneous elements. As regards their private manifestations, these do indeed having something social about them, since in part they reproduce the collective model. But to a large extent each one depends also upon the psychical and organic constitution of the individual, and on the particular circumstances in which he is placed. Therefore they are not phenomena which are in the strict sense sociological. They depend on both domains at the same time, and could be termed socio-psychical. They are of interest to the sociologist without constituting the immediate content of sociology. The same characteristic is to be found in the organisms of those mixed phenomena of nature studied in the combined sciences such as biochemistry. It may be objected that a phenomenon can only be collective if it is common to all the members of society, or at the very least to a majority, and consequently, if it is general. This is doubtless the case, but if it is general it is because it is collective (that is, more or less obligatory); but it is very far from being collective because it is general. It is a condition of the group repeated in individuals because it imposes itself upon them. It is in each part because it is in the whole, but far from being in the whole because it is in the parts. This is supremely evident in those beliefs and practices which are handed down to us ready fashioned by previous generations. We accept and adopt them because, since they are the work of the collectivity and one that is centuries old, they are invested with a special authority that our education has taught us to recognise and respect. It is worthy of note that the vast majority of social phenomena come to us in this way. But even when the social fact is partly due to our direct co-operation, it is no different in nature. An outburst of collective emotion in a gathering does not merely express the sum total of what individual feelings share in common, but is something of a very different order, as we have demonstrated. It is a product of shared existence, of actions and reactions called into play between the consciousnesses of individuals. If it is echoed in each one of them it is precisely by virtue of the special energy derived from its collective origins. If all hearts beat in unison, this is not as a consequence of a spontaneous, preestablished harmony; it is because one and the same force is propelling them in the same direction. Each one is borne along by the rest. We have therefore succeeded in delineating for ourselves the exact field of sociology. It embraces one single, well defined group of phenomena. A social fact is identifiable through the power of external coercion which it exerts or is capable of exerting upon individuals. The presence of this power is in turn recognisable because of the existence of some pre-determined sanction, or through the resistance that the fact opposes to any individual action that may threaten it. However, it can also be defined by ascertaining how widespread it is within the group, provided that, as noted above, one is careful to add a second essential characteristic; this is, that it exists independently of the particular forms that it may assume in the process of spreading itself within the group. In certain cases this latter criterion can even be more easily applied than the former one. The presence of constraint is easily ascertainable when it is manifested externally through some direct reaction of society, as in the case of law, morality, beliefs, customs and even fashions. But when constraint is merely indirect, as with that exerted by an economic organization, it is not always so clearly discernible. Generality combined with objectivity may then be easier to establish. Moreover, this second definition is simply another formulation of the first one: if a mode of behaviour existing outside the consciousnesses of individuals becomes general, it can only do so by exerting pressure upon them. [3] However, one may well ask whether this definition is complete. Indeed the facts which have provided us with its basis are all ways of functioning: they are 'physiological' in nature. But there are also collective ways of being, namely, social facts of an 'anatomical' or morphological nature. Sociology cannot dissociate itself from what concerns the substratum of collective life. Yet the number and nature of the elementary parts which constitute society, the way in which they are articulated, the degree of coalescence they have attained, the distribution of population over the earth's surface, the extent and nature of the network of communications, the design of dwellings, etc., do not at first sight seem relatable to ways of acting, feeling or thinking. Yet, first and foremost, these various phenomena present the same characteristic which has served us in defining the others. These ways of being impose themselves upon the individual just as do the ways of acting we have dealt with. In fact, when we wish to learn how a society is divided up politically, in what its divisions consist and the degree of solidarity that exists between them, it is not through physical inspection and geographical observation that we may come to find this out: such divisions are social, although they may have some physical basis. It is only through public law that we can study such political organisation, because this law is what determines its nature, just as it determines our domestic and civic relationships. The organisation is no less a form of compulsion. If the population clusters together in our cities instead of being scattered over the rural areas, it is because there exists a trend of opinion, a collective drive which imposes this concentration upon individuals. We can no more choose the design of our houses than the cut of our clothes - at least, the one is as much obligatory as the other. The communication network forcibly prescribes the direction of internal migrations or commercial exchanges, etc., and even their intensity. Consequently, at the most there are grounds for adding one further category to the list of phenomena already enumerated as bearing the distinctive stamp of a social fact. But as that enumeration was in no wise strictly exhaustive, this addition would not be indispensable. Moreover, it does not even serve a purpose, for these ways of being are only ways of acting that have been consolidated. A society's political structure is only the way in which its various component segments have become accustomed to living with each other. If relationships between them are traditionally close, the segments tend to merge together; if the contrary, they tend to remain distinct. The type of dwelling imposed upon us is merely the way in which everyone around us and, in part, previous generations, have customarily built their houses. The communication network is only the channel which has been cut by the regular current of commerce and migrations, etc., flowing in the same direction. Doubtless if phenomena of a morphological kind were the only ones that displayed this rigidity, it might be thought that they constituted a separate species. But a legal rule is no less permanent an arrangement than an architectural style, and yet it is a 'physiological' fact. A simple moral maxim is certainly more malleable, yet it is cast in forms much more rigid than a mere professional custom or fashion. Thus there exists a whole range of gradations which, without any break in continuity, join the most clearly delineated structural facts to those free currents of social life which are not yet caught in any definite mould. This therefore signifies that the differences between them concern only the degree to which they have become consolidated. Both are forms of life at varying stages of crystallisation. It would undoubtedly be advantageous to reserve the term 'morphological' for those social facts which relate to the social substratum, but only on condition that one is aware that they are of the same nature as the others. Our definition will therefore subsume all that has to be defined it if states: A social fact is any way of acting, whether fixed or not, capable of exerting over the individual an external constraint; or: which is general over the whole of a given society whilst having an existence of its own, independent of its individual manifestations. [4] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Moreover, this is not to say that all constraint is normal. We shall return to this point later. 2. Suicides do not occur at any age, nor do they occur at all ages of life with the same frequency. 3. It can be seen how far removed this definition of the social fact is from that which serves as the basis for the ingenious system of Tarde. We must first state that our research has nowhere led us to corroboration of the preponderant influence that Tarde attributes to imitation in the genesis of collective facts. Moreover, from this definition, which is not a theory but a mere resume of the immediate data observed, it seems clearly to follow that imitation does not always express, indeed never expresses, what is essential and characteristic in the social fact . Doubtless every social fact is imitated and has, as we have just shown, a tendency to become generalised, but this is because it is social, i.e. obligatory. Its capacity for expansion is not the cause but the consequence of its sociological character. If social facts were unique in bringing about this effect, imitation might serve, if not to explain them, at least to define them. But an individual state which impacts on others none the less remains individual. Moreover, one may speculate whether the term 'imitation' is indeed appropriate to designate a proliferation which occurs through some coercive influence. In such a single term very different phenomena, which need to be distinguished, are confused. 4. This close affinity of life and structure, organ and function, can be readily established in sociology because there exists between these two extremes a whole series of intermediate stages, immediately observable, which reveal the link between them. Biology lacks this methodological resource. But one may believe legitimately that sociological inductions on this subject are applicable to biology and that, in organisms as in societies, between these two categories of facts only differences in degree exist.

Is this paragraph well written to sen to a university application? I finished my architectural studies in Quito, on December 2007. I have always been interested in social projects. I did my thesis in popular housing for Ecuador. Financial and architectonical plans were proposed for a housing prototype. During the undergraduate summers I had the opportunity to make two internships for a Foundation called HelpingOthers that develops different projects in a marginal area in Calcuta. When I just finished architecture I traveled to New York and worked for Architects Firm in two projects. Here I had the opportunity to share with talented coworkers that allowed me to give my best under a very competitive environment. Later I returned to Ecuador, where I designed a project for poor kids and it was approved and sponsored by the government. Then I worked at Desing Architects firm on practical manual for the design of popular housing according to the International Building Code (2006). The combination of my social projects and my studies in architecture made me decide for this program in Urban Planning.
