Before I will submit my final project I need to check and update all details on my website. I'll make sure all links work properly and what else I could improve on my website. I will start from checking my copyright notice.   I checked my copyright and I took a screenshot using snipping tool. I also check does my copyright notice are correct on each page.  I also updated my social links. I added a blogger link as it was appearing only on contact page. Then I uploaded my website by publishing to check is everything correct and working prorerly. Then I check my homepage and the navigation, and I make sure the menu and images are working corectly. I also added few buttons on my portfolio page for good navigation between my projects. I also need to add some pictures for all my three projects on portfolio page.  Next I check my phone view of my website and I discovered that I need to do some changes, as my mobile menu icon was not visible. Then I published again and I checked all detail

 During my visit to Liverpool I visited a very beautiful and interesting place which is Royal Albert Dock. It is a complex of dock buildings and warehouses designed by Jesse Hartley and Philip Hardwick, and it was opened in 1846. There is something special in this project, as it was revolutionary in the construction, as it was built from cast iron, brick and stone, with no structural wood. Moreover, the design was also innovative, because ships were loaded and unloaded directly from the warehouses. The warehouses were fireproof, secure and hydraulic cranes were built to hauled heavy cargoes.                                                            Royal Albert Dock Liverpool The place suffered during the second world war, when bombs were drop on the buildings of the dock. After the war the importance of the dock began to decline, as it became too small for modern large steamships, and whole area start to loosing its role. Slowly the place began to be empty and abandoned. Looking at t

 I research for materials which I could use for my building. The main material will be reinforced concrete, and the walls, floors and roof will be made of it. Reinforced concrete (full name-Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete-SFRC), is a very strong composite material, durable and resistant for different elements. This composite is also suitable for my project due to the protruding parts of the building. This is also one of the most effective construction materials which requires little maintenance. Such a construction will also cope better with the proximity of water (the alkalinity of the concrete protects the steel rebar from corrosion). Finally, all concrete parts of the building will be covered with black panels. The second important material will be windows. For this project, I designed expansive windows, which will create a bright and friendly atmosphere, providing fantastic views. This will be a triple glazing panels with argon gas between the layers for better protection against t

 I chose Port Praski ( Praski Harbour ) as the location for my building. During my visit to Liverpool I was fascinated by Albert Docks . When I started working on my final project, I linked my experience from visiting Albert Docks with Port Praski in Warsaw, which recently undergoing renovation of the whole site. It is a river port on the Vistula river in Warsaw, the Capital of Poland, in the Praga-North district. The port was built in the area of the Vistula river glacier valley and at the beginning (before the second world war) it was called the New Port. In the interwar period, three port basins were built. The port  was used for cargo loading and as a winter port. later the cargo handling functions were taken over by the Port Zeranski. Until 2012, there was a water station in the Port Praski, which was built in 1885, and it was then used as a floating marina for steam boats.  The port performed its function until 1963, when a new port Zeranski was put into use. After this period

 On today's session, I intend to finish my floor plan, which I started on last session. At the beginning I drew my floor plan using hard pencil (2H) and the ruler. Then I ink all my drawing to get a better image after scanning.  I designed and drew ground floor plan and first floor plan. I included space for guest rooms and utility rooms. I calculated the dimensions of the building and drew them in appropriate scale, which is 1:50

 This is a story about nature and architecture. Since ancient times people have been trying to change the environment in which they lived for their own needs. The architecture is very important to us, as each of us lives and spends a lot of time in buildings designed by people. From small settlements and villages to the huge metropolis of today, architecture have a great influence on people's well-being. We live in very interesting times, and we can see how many people try to move out of the crowded cities centers to their outskirts, in search of quieter places, often close to the nature. Many contemporary architects plan their projects taking surroundings into consideration.                                               The Cluny House by Guz Architects
