Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (China)

The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge is the world's longest bridge. It is a 102.Four mile (164.Eight km) long viaduct on the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The bridge is located at the rail line among Shanghai and Nanjing in East China’s Jiangsu province. It is within the Yangtze River Delta in which the geography is characterized with the aid of lowland rice paddies, canals, rivers, and lakes. The bridge runs kind of parallel to the Yangtze River, about 8 to 80 km (five to 50 mi) south of the river. It passes via the northern edges of populace centers (from west to east) beginning in Danyang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and ending in Kunshan. There is a 9-kilometre lengthy (5.6 mi) section over open water throughout Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou. It was completed in 2010 and opened in 2011. Employing 10,000 humans, construction took 4 years and value about $8.Five billion. The Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest bridge within the world in any class as of June 2011.

The Gardens by the Bay

Since officially opening its doors in 2012, we look back at the engineering, architectural and horticultural feat that is Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. There is a reason why olive trees are not found in the tropics. The native Mediterranean species thrives in bright sunshine, but requires chillier temperatures to bear flowers and fruit. Hence, when an olive tree in equatorial Singapore, estimated to be over 1000 years old, successfully blossomed and subsequently fruited in 2015, it was a testament to the engineering and horticultural achievement that is Gardens by the Bay, the 101-hectare park located in the urban downtown of the city-state. First conceived by Dr Kiat W. Tan, botanist and former chief executive of Gardens by the Bay, the idea of constructing a world-class garden in the tropics, on reclaimed land, south of Singapore’s financial centre, seemed completely outrageous at the time. It is hard to imagine that this horticultural destination was once sea, then sand and soggy ...

CREATING AN ARCHITECTURAL RENDERING: TIPS TO CREATE REALISTIC IMAGES

The best architectural renderings are planned out well in advance and encompass many little details that all combine to create one amazing image. It takes time to put in those small details; in the end, though, they truly make the rendering what it is. They have a huge impact on how real the image looks. This article will focus on what to do with the area around the building. Incorporating nature is one of the best ways to make the rendering more realistic. Grass To start, put grass in around the building. It should not all be the same height. In addition, the ground should have some variation; if you make it completely flat, it will not look realistic. Nature has a lot of small imperfections. If your image looks too perfect, it will immediately be pegged as a computer generated picture. When a lawn mower moves over grass, the blades are pushed at different angles. When working on your rendering, put in some streaks to represent this phenomenon. This is an added touch that makes ...
