An evaluation of the relationship between variations in provision of infrastructure and payment of property tax in Ibadan north-east local government, Nigeria
No full textThe provision of Infrastructural facilities is the reponsibilty of any governemnt within any jurisdiction. The use of property tax to finance the provisions of infrastructure has been globally accepted. However, the problem is that where there is no known form of property taxation to apply, residents cannot determine the benefit derivable from the infrastructure provided. The research methodology therefore adopted System random sampling in Ibadan North East Local Government to examine the 0.0035% of the resident population. Thus the occupier of the residential property within location formed the sample frame. The result presented in Tabular form indicated that while about 58.6% of the population reside in areas with low infrastructure , the existing form of property taxation has created social injustice since similar amount is being paid across the locations inrespective of the level of infrastructure provided. The use of Improvement of land was therefore recommended as the basis for determining property tax. (Copied from article
A GIS based assessment of the relationship between housing conditions and rental value in government built housing estates in Minna
No full textHousing management decisions require consideration of location and space. There is a constant
need for more technology and training in the industry and Geographic Information System (GIS) is not known to have been used in tackling the problems of housing conditions and related problems in Minna. This study examines the relationship between housing conditions and rental value of selected housing estates in Minna with the aid of GIS. Census sample technique was adopted where all the houses in the housing estates were sampled. Satellite images of M.I. Wushishi Housing Estate, Bosso Estate and Oduoye Housing Estate were geo-referenced and maps were produced for various analysis. Conventional geo-database was created for conditions of houses in the housing estates and from it geo-statistical analyses was carried out which produce kriging and spatial autocorrelation analysis. In addition, correlation analysis was used to analyse the impact of building conditions on rental value. It was found out among others that building conditions has weak relationship with rental values in the housing estates. It was therefore recommended amidst others that Geo-statistical tools should be an instrument for measuring and monitoring of residential property development

Colour, Form and Space: Rietveld Schröder House Challenging the Future
No full textThe Rietveld Schröder House in Utrecht was designed in 1924 by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld (1888-1964) for Mrs Truus Schröder- Schräder (1889-1985), as a home for her and her three young children. Mrs Schröder had very decided ideas about the modern family, the upbringing of her children, and a corresponding way of living. She wanted a flexible house that would be able to evolve over time in tandem with the changing needs of her family. Known and celebrated as the architectural expression of the ideology and design ideas of the De Stijl movement, the house is just as much the expression of the personal attitude to life and wishes of the client who commissioned it. In Rietveld, Mrs Schröder felt she had found the ideal interpreter of her modern ideasHeritage & Value
Back to Cuypers: Struggling with a theme
No full textWhen large government-owned monuments are renovated it is customary in the Netherlands to appoint a restoration architect alongside the principal architect. Consequently, for the Rijksmuseum a separate selection was held among five architectural restoration firms. For this complex assignment, it proved difficult to formulate the brief and the responsibilities. Also, the addition of a theme – ‘Continue with Cuypers’ – gave rise to a great variety of interpretations concerning the building and the restoration.Architectural Engineering +TechnologyArchitecture and The Built Environmen
The historical architecture of Wes Anderson: The Grand Budapest Hotel
No full textThis thesis explores the relationship between architecture and film through the analysis of the cinema of Wes Anderson.The research focuses specificallyon the understanding of the spaces which Anderson has created in a historical per- spective. First, the relationship between architecture and film is explored through lite- rature research.The articulation of lived space forms the basis and common ground for architecture and cinema. Being both arts of the author, cinema and architecture have the potential to generate emotions, awaken our soul and to shift the attention of the viewer from the inside to the outside. Both cinema and architecture have the ability to construct spaces in the mind, articulate the surface between the world and our own mental experience, where meaning and value are blend.The architecture, which plays a central role in the films of Anderson, is analy- zed. Anderson introduces spaces through the habits, ideals and aspirations of the indi- vidual, bringing buildings to life. Anderson balances stories between reality and fantasy, transcending the rules of geometry. The architecture in The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) is analyzed as a case study. The film depicts the glory days and the fall down of a grand hotel in different eras but is above all a story of decay, loneliness and personal loss.Anderson intended to give homage to European Grandeur at the turn of the 19th century on the one hand and communist architecture on the other hand. The observations and research show contradictions and paradoxes in the blend of architectural styles depicted in the film. The conflicts and contradictions between foreign influences and ideological structures are both visible in the 1940s and the 1960s version of the exterior of the hotel. In the interior, the contradictory usage of material on the one hand and the rational floorplan and technological developments on the other hand shows the changing ideas about the function and definition of the hotel. Most important, the hotel resembles the personage of the characters who live in a forgotten and lost world.Anderson shows that spaces can question our narrative and imagination. When architecture can evoke this experience, the true quality of the practice is utilized and a level of consciousness is reached where dream, feeling and emotions reside.AR2A011Architecture, Urbanism and Building Science
