In theory, under adequate ventilation dispel heat, because the hot air in the house will be urged toward the window by the incoming cold air from the vents.
To cope with the introduction of rats from a hole, needs to be installed on the hole mosquito.

Comfortable Kitchen

1. Kitchen Size
Designing the kitchen of course need the standard size that has a goal to make users comfortable.
a. Top Cabinet
Height of the cabinet top height should be adjusted with the kitchen user.
b. Kitchen table
The kitchen table heights should be adjusted to the size of the user. Because this kitchen table where to put the stove, at least as high as your hips users.
c. Circulation Distance
Should be made comfortable to work in the kitchen activities for users (1 or more). Offsetting the condition that the user is opening the lower cabinets (squat).
For example: there are three people who are doing activities backs to each other, people can easily passing behind the person who is doing the activity.

2. Laying Tool Cook

b. Refrigerator
Do not approach the stove / in the sun.

Do not be put near a window that can be opened (may interfere with the flame). If using a gas stove, and prepare a tube storage cupboard. Or placed outside the kitchen, so when there is leakage dapart wasted directly into the free air, and reduce the tube exploded. Although busy in the installation.

boring game

Rest for a moment to write articles about architecture. Spend a little time for the World Cup. Yes, almost a week now watching World Cup matches, it was none the less. Yup, the main reason for lack of goals. At the start opening match between South Africa and Mexico that ended 1-1, the second game that brought the world champions 0-0, worse. South Korea Greece with a 2-0 surprise, perhaps Australia's match with Germany ended with a margin of more than two goals (score 4-0). Hopefully the game tonight, Spain and Switzerland can provide party entertainment goals as closing the first game of each group, if not get ready to wait a second match later each group, and hope the team that competed were not shy to score ^ ^.

weird mirror angle sensitive

One of the product design work of Tetsuo Kondo Architects is a mirror, but mirrors are not the same as what is made in a factory. The uniqueness of these mirrors is that if you look at things from anywhere other than from the front of the mirror, you will see a blurred image is not a clear reflection of the image. Apparently this is due to a special film deposited on glass, while a frame covered with paper arise. So what made this mirror? clear so that you actually look in the mirror right in front of him, not behind or beside, which is clearly very much trouble ^ ^

Le Corbusier's "in his own words"

Books that are reviewed are from Le Corbusier's book entitled "In his own words" introduction for children.

This book contains the discovery and a surprise from one of the most mysterious and least known in the history of architecture.

The book contains a preface and introduction to the ideas of architecture for children ten years or more will provide a sense of awe of the architectural, human life, an architect, his work and where he lived.

One of it is that there is a human figure with one arm raised is a recurring image. Modulor Man, the mascot of Le Corbusier's system to remind you of the universe.
Man Modulor is intended as a universal system of proportions, the human form, and beauty into a single system.

This book introduces to children early on to architecture. Where architecture is not just a building that stands alone, but building that has meaning, beauty and balance with nature.

Small House

House designed by Hugo Kohno is classified as a small house that is similar to the railway line. This is done to limited land, so the house is built with three floors with a garage on the ground floor. For interior use bright colors, to give more room ambience.

There are several floor is not filled with a full floor, but there mezanin third floor, so the outlook towards the top lenih free and open. Wide windows that give a broader impression, because this house is related to outer space visually. This house is a small design house that looks modern.

Holy Mosque

Mosques in Indonesia has many distinctive buildings typologies. Most people to understand architecture as a building domed mosque, or berjoglo with certain rules that developed in the community. Most have a view that a mosque should be vaulted, or berjoglo. Although the actual architecture of a mosque is defined through the arrangement of space as a result of prayer activity, the image of a mosque had been embedded in society in the shape of a particular type of building. Mosques were oriented to carry a lot of architectural vocabulary of the Middle East region. This is not surprising, because the center of Islamic civilization from the Middle East.
As mentioned by the studies, an image of religious buildings usually when ordered back from their home, sometimes not a strong impression of the real reason. Dome shape actually is not merely a part of the typology of the mosque, and not always represent a mosque.

But whether a conviction will not settle too deep into the image of his creation buildings? It would have been so. But not in a superficial sense, as if there was an inventory list that contains a myriad of forms that have been labeled as a Christian it is Islamic, Hindu or other religions. (Studies, in Wastu Citra)

In society, a symbol can not be changed in a way that quickly, unless there has been a readiness to accept new symbols in religious buildings (this is what happened in recent times, some communities have been able to accept the changes caused a paradigm shift, as a consequence of information exchange so quickly). Take years, maybe one or two centuries to make a paradigm shift is rooted in the community. We can see in our society 'inaction' to follow a new rule after a rule is understood as a consensus. Perhaps this can be understood as evidence that an entrenched tradition can not be changed arbitrarily.

Symbols ... have meanings that can be brought into how people use a building. As an example of the sculptures can be a 'symbol' to a shaft of confidence. Something previous stone or other material, if changed shape and given meaning, can tap the buttons beliefs and spiritualism (in mind). Sometimes the icon brings a huge impact to how people worship.

But what comes as a work of man, it can not be compared with the work of God. When someone believe in God, then life has a center and the center of his life tethered. What relationship with God is present in person, can be presented through the work of a little man, in a pattern that is understood by the mind can be brought into the desired spiritualism.

The mosques in this article also has a specific element that is considered to represent the symbolism of a mosque. This can not be underestimated, because the mosques usually have great meaning in the lives of the majority of our society, so the symbolism may be the most important thing to note in the design process. Can still be found, residents gathered to discuss important matters at the mosque, more closely mothers chatted in the hall a mosque while waiting for the next prayer time arrived, and so forth.

In many cities, the mosque has a role to become a city icon. This is becoming a role in the life of the mosque as a center for the surrounding communities, even the square if necessary. Communities need a place where there is a 'theme' in a link with a building, because the character of the community itself has made a point of presence of houses of worship, as a direct relationship with the existing cultural system.

who i am?

Hello, my name Safroni, I was a student in one of the state universities in Surabaya. At the end of the semester I was doing my final project, titled Madiun Stadium. In between working on the final task, I wrote a blog with the contents of Architecture, although English and my writing technique is far from word less ^ _ ^.

Hopefully, by writing this blog I can share experiences, add friends, or maybe someone offered me the project ^ _ ^.
