| dc.description.abstract | Architecture to express technology for a corporation on the leading edge of technical advancement and innovation. Technology is an element of useful nature that should be incorporated in almost every design. Technology can be expressed in many different contexts'. In industry it can mean computers, micro chips, fiber optics to name a few. In architecture, technology can be expressed through architecture by adhering to a strict code of honesty of expression. This honesty of expression embodies ideas of advancement and innovation. Not only can technology be expressed in architecture by honesty of expression, but also by incorporating technological advances into the building design. High Tech design in architecture has become to mean a particular style. Although all of its parameters change periodically, it is basically understood to mean a clear expression of structure and services. High Tech architecture also consists of serviced zones. These zones can be internal or external. These zones then provide facilities such as air, light, power to fixed partitions on a grid. The motifs of High Tech architecture are visible air conditioning ducts, exposed steel structure, flexibility throughout the design. To continue to be on the leading edge of technology, Cox Communications, West Texas, Midland, is upgrading their cable system to fiber optic technology to bring the best possible service to its customers. This upgrade will bring about advancement in cable technology, internet access, and local telephone service to name a few. Sales are expected to increase and in turn an increase in staff will be needed to accommodate this upgrade. A larger facility will be needed because of the increase in staff. This building will be a High Tech design which will be expressive of the building use. | |
