Awesome Sculptures

Korean sculptor Yong Ho Ji is a genius. All his sculpture is made out of spare tires on his family's Jeep Wrangler. Several month's are needed to fixed together tires into a bad-ass perfect wild animal.






Perfect anatomical details, rawness, wildness and power are the ways to describe these animal sculptures. So well-made you would think they’re alive.

Who is Architect

Definition:

An architect is a licensed professional who organizes space. Architects design houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, landscapes, ships, and even entire cities. The services of a licensed architect depend on the type of project.

What Do Architects Do?

Architects are trained in many areas, from historic preservation to structural engineering. This training can lead to a wide variety of careers.

Architects are fully qualified professionals.

While virtually anyone can draw up plans and call themselves a building designer, only a person registered by the Board can use the term 'Architect' (or 'Ar.' in Malaysia). But the difference is more substantial than just a name. Architects must have gained approved professional tertiary qualifications (Part I and II), have undertaken a minimum period of practical experience, and have successfully completed the oral and written examinations (Part III) before becoming eligible to apply for registration and qualifying to use the title "architect".

The Role of the Architect

A simplistic view of the role is that architects create architectures, and their responsibilities encompass all that is involved in doing so. This would include articulating the architectural vision, conceptualizing and experimenting with alternative architectural approaches, creating models and component and interface specification documents, and validating the architecture against requirements and assumptions. However, any experienced architect knows that the role involves not just these technical activities, but others that are more political and strategic in nature on the one hand, and more like those of a consultant, on the other.

These activities drive the competencies that the architect needs to be successful. We present a competency framework that helps architects assess areas for their own personal development, and managers in identifying who is a good fit for the architect role.

Smile....... (^_^)

“Peace begins with a smile..”

“If you have only one smile in you, give it to the people you love. Don't be surly at home, then go out in the street and start grinning 'Good morning' at total strangers.”

“Oh no. Don't smile. You'll kill me. I stop breathing when you smile.”

“Did you know it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile? I know, because yesterday was in a bad mood, and I guess I must have frowned too much because this morning I woke up with a torn groin muscle.”

So...SMILEEEEEE :)
