			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a new home would be a very exciting especially for husband and wife who had just married. But then got one issue which is clean-up time. Often consumes more time and sometimes becomes annoying and troublesome.</p>
<p>Moreover, it takes time and extra energy to immediately clean up and re-arrange items around the furniture. Not to mention, the many cluttered crib luggage often make you emotional and upset. Issues doesn&#8217;t mean got no solutions, of course the easiest thing to do is get some help from some moving company such as <a href="http://www.movers.com/moving_companies/va_virginia_state.htm" target="_blank">Virginia Moving Companies</a>, below are some effective tips for you who want to moving.<br />
<span id="more-34"></span><br />
1. Labeling Every Box<br />
Nothing is more annoying than to tear the box because you do not know what the contents in your luggage box. To make it easier to identify the luggage, while doing the packing, label on each box you. This can simplify your work at tidying back luggage. With the label, you&#8217;ll know what&#8217;s in the box that you carry. Label on the box can be easier for you to check back for goods was about to be taken. I believe this is the basic step, which also being used by <a href="http://www.movers.com/long_distance_movers/va_virginia_state.htm" target="_blank">Virginia Movers</a> for security purpose and kept your belonging unbroken.</p>
<p>2. Measure the dimensions of each room before moving furniture.<br />
When you wish to set the room to be filled furniture, you&#8217;ll want to measure the area of ​​the room. Do not move the furniture before measuring the area to be occupied. There are many advantages if you take measurements before moving items. First, it can prevent accidents that might make your furniture scratched or scraped. It&#8217;s also very helpful when you go shopping for furniture, can know the size of tables and chairs that fit if you want to put in a room.</p>
<p>3. Measure your window<br />
Along with dimensions, it is important to remember where the position of the window, because you might not want to block natural light sources. By knowing the length of the window, it will also give you a better idea where you can put tables and chairs and other furniture as well as wall ornaments ranging from paintings and family photographs are also proportionately. According to <a href="http://www.movers.com/international_movers/va_virginia_state.htm" target="_blank">Virginia International Movers</a>, this step is important, but most important is measure your door, we want to make sure all your belonging able to fit inside the house, and the first thing of course passing the door.</p>
<p>4. Choose the right time to move<br />
Begin to move to move house when you have free time, such as on weekends. You could start moving house in the morning. Why? because you would have a long time to carry heavy items. Especially for long distance move such as <a href="http://www.movers.com/long_distance_movers/va_virginia_state.htm" target="_blank">Moving To Virginia</a>, then you do need more time.</p>
<p>5. Do not buy in a hurry<br />
When shopping, you may see things that you think would be suitable if placed in a new home and immediately bought it. Try to resist the temptation, because the house was perfectly designed to take time. Make sure you do not be impetuous to buy additional furniture. Try to consider and adjust where the goods are more suitable and which are not suitable for your home. Ideally, you need two months to replace a few items that are deemed fit for any room in your house.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vernacular architecture is the term used to categorize methods of construction which uses local resources to meet the local&#8217;s needs. Vernacular architecture developed at any time to reflect on the environment, culture, and history of the area where the architecture is located.</p>
<p>Vernacular architecture becomes important to the context of architecture in Asia because Asia consists of many different cultures and each of it different in each territory. Each region has a specific architecture derived from tradition, the local human adaptation of nature that gave rise to a variety of ways to cope with climate for building comfort.<br />
<span id="more-32"></span><br />
The word vernacular comes from Latin vernakulus, which means domestic, indigenous, native; of Verna which means slave or a home-made indigenous natives. In principle refers to the type of vernacular architecture in which the original architecture with a specific time or place.</p>
<p>Contrary to the architecture designed by the architect, building on the knowledge of vernacular architecture in the channel through local traditions and usually based on trial and error passed down from generation to generation from the calculating of the physics building and its geometry.</p>
<p>Sometimes people get confused between vernacular architecture with traditional architecture, because between the two concepts are indeed there is a relationship. Vernacular architecture can also be taken from a culturally acceptable solution, but if only through repetition alone the buffer into a traditional architecture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Post modern terms is popular among elites and intellectuals. Post Modern term itself was born and popularized by the critical history of architecture, Charles Jencks in a seminar at the University Eindhoven in 1978 the idea became the theme of conversation in the architecture Biennale in Venice in 1980.</p>
<p>In the world of architecture, modern post architecture shows on something of process or activity and can be classified as post-modern style symbols.<br />
<span id="more-30"></span><br />
The appearance of modern post can not be separated from the previously applicable aspects of modern architecture. Modern architecture which has been running for over half a century began reaching saturation point. Concepts that are too logical and rational as well as the lack of attention to social values​​, environment and emotions that exist in society will have a variety of criticisms and responses means that modern architecture is more likely to pay attention to how humans should live and the lack of attention to actual human life (nature unilateral). His works were very stiff, boring and has no identity, because it has the same style on almost all types of buildings in various places.</p>
<p>A group then determined a new architect to establish a basic philosophy and the new wider format for design. In his quest for a new architectural vocabulary, then the architects of this new turn to the sources of diverse nature formerly avoided, as Rennisance-Italian, baroque-German, Las Vegas and others.</p>
<p>Post Modern is characterized by the reemergence of classical forms, traditional building process (the vernacular) and improve its function. The characteristics of the modern post include:<br />
· Aspects of unification with the environment and history, is also adjusting to the situation around<br />
· The elements included not only the function itself but also as an ornamental element<br />
· The use of geometric elements, seen as a simple form that is not functional, but highlighted as enhancer elements in the composition or harmony of decor.<br />
· The color tends bright and erotic, which is dominated not by color but by the color base mix is heavily influenced pastel, yellow, red and blue violet.<br />
· Relying on a hybrid composition that justifies people to take the elements that exist to be modified as a rich college.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>London has a long and interesting history, so it is no surprise that the city is packed full of both high-quality old, and modern, architecture.<br />
London is a city known for its beautiful and historic buildings designed by some of the world’s most famous architects. Since the turn of the century, however, a new type of architecture, constructed using concrete, steel and glass, has become an increasingly important part of the ever-changing cityscape. This modern architecture is a highly visible aspect of the city and deserves attention as much as its longstanding architectural counterparts.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
As with all large, modern cities, London has its fair share of boring, uniform office high-rises, architecture that adds nothing to its surrounding environment. These and other ill-thought-out buildings tend to give modern architecture a bad name, though the reputation is unmerited. Home to an abundance of high-quality and visually stunning modern techniques, London proves that when done right, concrete, steel and glass can enrich and edify a city’s cultural heritage.<br />
These three highly visible buildings are great examples of how modern architecture is enhancing London’s built environment.</p>
<p>London Modern Architecture &#8211; Lloyd’s Building (1986)<br />
Richard Rogers’ Lloyd’s building is a breath of fresh air in a city full of concrete commercial office blocks. The daring design places the stairs, elevators, power cables, air ducts and water pipes on the exterior, creating a clean uncluttered working space inside the tower. The services, things that other buildings try to conceal, thus proudly ornament the outside of the Lloyd’s building, creating its unique look.<br />
The Lloyd’s building is located at 1 Lime Street and although not regularly open to the public the office does open each year as part of London Open House, when it’s free to visit.</p>
<p>London Modern Architecture &#8211; London Eye (1999)<br />
Similarly to the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, the London Eye was originally intended only to be a temporary construction. However, due to its immense popularity, much like the Eiffel Tower, the wheel has become a permanent landmark, an instantly recognizable symbol of the city.<br />
The Eye is located on the south bank of the River Thames opposite the houses of parliament. It is currently the most visited paid tourist attraction in country and the 30-minute ride will cost £17.50.</p>
<p>London Modern Architecture &#8211; 30 St Mary Axe: The Gherkin (2004)<br />
30 St Mary Axe, affectionately known as The Gherkin (the British word for a pickle) due to its shape, is a welcome addition to the city skyline. This visually striking postmodern tower is an extremely good example of how modern architecture can enhance its local environment. The building is appreciated by both the public and professionals alike and won its architect, Sir Norman Foster, Britain’s most prestigious architectural award, the RIBA Stirling Prize.<br />
Located, unsurprisingly, at 30 St Mary Axe, The Gherkin is only open to the public once a year as part of London Open House.</p>
