Structures - Function Other Characteristics of Structures
{"Image DocumentName": "Structures - Function Other Characteristics of Structures", "Image ImageDescription": "Besides form and function, structures can be interpreted and classified by the materials and components they are made of. Natural and man-made structures share some common features. Safety - all structures are designed and built within an acceptable margin of safety (but usually, structures are designed with a built-in large margin of safety). Cost - adding extra strength to a structure costs money, as well as using more highly skilled workers and better materials does. Norman Breakey designed the paint roller to make painting a large wall less time consuming and more economical. Designers plan their structures to withstand conditions they hypothesize will occur. Good design is a compromise between a reasonable margin of safety and reasonable cost. Usually, totally unexpected events will cause even the best (well-designed) structures to fail (example: the World Trade Centre Towers). Aesthetics is the study of beauty in nature. The best designs. usually look good - aesthetically pleasing \u00b7 The aesthetics are. usually accomplished by the shape, texture, color, type of. material, symmetry and simplicity of the repeated pattern used. in the design.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
