TOP FIVE UNIQUE BUILDING - ASSIGNMENT

Assalamualaikum and hi for everyone that read  our blog. You re are most welcome to visit our blog and you maybe will get are little knowledge that we want to show to you guys.

For this post, we likely to write about innovation, as the inovation concept is about changing something that already in the market so my group come across of building with unique features as one of our blog assigment.

Innovation is the creation of better or more effective products, processes, services, technologies, or ideas that are readily available to markets, governments, and society. Innovation differs from invention in that innovation refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea or method itself. Innovation differs from improvement in that innovation refers to the notion of doing something different rather than doing the same thing better.

So for this post, we will show the top five unique building.

1. The Crooked House ( Sopot, Poland )

Construction of the building started in in January 2003 and in December 2003 it was finished. House architecture is based on Jan Marcin Szancer (famous Polish artist and child books illustrator) and Per Dahlberg (Swedish painter living in Sopot) pictures and paintings.

2. Forest Spiral – Hundertwasser Building (Darmstadt, Germany)

The Hundertwasser house “Waldspirale” (”Forest Spiral”) was built in Darmstadt between 1998 and 2000. Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the famous Austrian architect and painter, is widely renowned for his revolutionary, colourful architectural designs which incorporate irregular, organic forms, e.g. onion-shaped domes.

The structure with 105 apartments wraps around a landscaped courtyard with a running stream. Up in the turret at the southeast corner, there is a restaurant, including a cocktail bar.

3. The Basket Building (Ohio, United States)

The Longaberger Basket Company building in Newark, Ohio might just be a strangest office building in the world. The 180,000-square-foot building, a replica of the company’s famous market basket, cost $30 million and took two years to complete. Many experts tried to persuade Dave Longaberger to alter his plans, but he wanted an exact replica of the real thing.

                                   

4.Kansas City Public Library (Missouri, United States)

This project, located in the heart of Kansas City, represents one of the pioneer projects behind the revitalization of downtown.

The people of Kansas City were asked to help pick highly influential books that represent Kansas City. Those titles were included as ‘bookbindings’ in the innovative design of the parking garage exterior, to inspire people to utilize the downtown Central Library.

                                    

5. Cubic Houses (Rotterdam, Netherlands)


The original idea of these cubic houses came about in the 1970s. Piet Blom has developed a couple of these cubic houses that were built in Helmond.

The city of Rotterdam asked him to design housing on top of a pedestrian bridge and he decided to use the cubic houses idea. The concept behind these houses is that he tries to create a forest by each cube representing an abstract tree; therefore the whole village becomes a forest.

Are you impressed with our post about top five unique building?

This unique structure shows that with innovation toward something such as big building it really make world a lot attractive to see. It is also extravaganza creative and critical thinking mind or idea that  make something impossible and  fairy tale become true and reality.

TOP 10 GREATEST INVENTIONS ALL OVER THE WORLD - ASSIGNMENT

Assalamualaikum everyone! Hi there. It’s been a long time we did not update our blog right? We’ve been so busy with all the tests and quizzes AND all of us is already in ‘raya mood' as you know ‘raya celebration’ is just around the corner. Therefore today, our group will share some benefit information about the greatest inventors together with their inventions that brings benefit to us.

1. TELEPHONE BY ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL.

The first invention that brings benefit to us is the telephone. The telephone is an instrument that converts voice and sound signals into electrical impulses for transmission by wire to a different location, where another telephone receives the electrical impulses and turns them back into recognizable sounds. It’s created by the greatest Alexander Graham Bell in 1875. He is the one who built the first telephone that transmitted electrically the human voice. Until now, people still use the telephone although many of them have their own hand phone already.

2. COMPUTERS BY KONRAD ZUSE. 

There are many major milestones in the history of computers, starting with 1936, when Konrad Zuse built the first freely programmable computer. With his inventions, many works can be done systematically and all data can be saved in a safe place.

3. TELEVISION BY PAUL NIPKOW. 

In 1884, Paul Nipkow sent images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology with 18 lines of resolution. Television then evolved along two paths, mechanical based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and electronic based on the cathode ray tube. American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model. The creation of television allows people to see and discover many new things likes cooking recipe, others culture and facts about animals. this allows the director of a story to be creative when creating a story as many people watch television.

4. THE AUTOMOBILE BY NICOLAS JOSEPH CUGNOT. 

In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was invented by French mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot. However, it was a steam-powered model. In 1885, Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine. In 1885, Gottlieb Daimler took the internal combustion engine a step further and patented what is generally recognized as the prototype of the modern gas engine and later built the world's first four-wheeled motor vehicle. This invention gives us a chance to move from a place to the desired destination in a short time comparing when using a horse as a vehicles. Nowadays, we can see many kinds and types of vehicles on the road. All this thanks to this inventors as it made our life easier.


5. THE COTTON GIN BY ELI WHITNEY.

Eli Whitney patented the cotton gin on March 14, 1794. The cotton gin is a machine that separates seeds, hulls and other unwanted materials from cotton after it has been picked. It is very useful in the fabric industry as many of clothes are made by cotton.

6. THE CAMERA BY JOSEPH NICEPHORE NIEPCE. 

In 1814, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce created the first photographic image with a camera obscura, however, the image required eight hours of light exposure and later faded. Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre is considered the inventor of the first practical process of photography in 1837. It allows us to capture our precious moment and saved it throughout our life. Memories being captured with the camera cannot be fades and will remain as part of our life.

7. THE STEAM ENGINE BY THOMAS SAVERY.

Thomas Savery was an English military engineer and inventor who in 1698, patented the first crude steam engine. Thomas Newcomen invented the atmospheric steam engine in 1712. James Watt improved Newcomen's design and invented what is considered the first modern steam engine in 1765. This allows the invention of train by using the steam engine concept. It gives much benefit to us and the only source of power to generate a train. 

8. THE SEWING MACHINE BY BARTHELEMY THIMONNIER.

The first functional sewing machine was invented by the French tailor, Barthelemy Thimonnier, in 1830. In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first (somewhat) successful sewing machine. Elias Howe patented the first lockstitch sewing machine in 1846. Isaac Singer invented the up-and-down motion mechanism. In 1857, James Gibbs patented the first chain-stitch single-thread sewing machine. Helen Augusta Blanchard patented the first zig-zag stitch machine in 1873. Therefore, many kinds of fashion clothes can be created and the sewing is tidier rather than using hands. Hundreds of clothes can be produced in a day and it really makes job easier and faster.

 9. THE LIGHT BULB BY THOMAS ALVA EDISON.

Contrary to popular belief, Thomas Alva Edison didn't "invent" the light bulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1809, Humphry Davy, an English chemist, invented the first electric light. In 1878, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan, an English physicist, was the first person to invent a practical and longer-lasting electic lightbulb (13.5 hours) with a carbon fiber filament. In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament that burned for forty hours. With his great help, we can enjoy the advantages and don’t need to use candle to lighten up our night. Furthermore, it is safe to use.

10. PENICILIN BY ALEXANDER FLEMING.

Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Andrew Moyer patented the first method of industrial production of penicillin in 1948. Penicillin can inhibit, slow down and cure bacterial infections. That is a huge benefit, because it can actually save lives. Before penicillin, people would frequently die from simple infections. It was also used as a growth-promoting additive to livestock feed. It not only helps prevent or cure bacterial infections in animals, but it also helps them grow faster. 

It’s great that human brains allow people to think extraordinarily and therefore creative thinking can be developed. All this inventors and their inventions bring their own advantages in our life. Therefore, start thinking creatively and maybe one day, you might be one of those creative inventors in the history.
