Take Action Today and live Mortgage-Free for the Rest Of Your Life By Designing, Building and Living In The Tiny House Of Your Dreams! The Tiny House Movement has gone a long way from being a quirky housing trend into an actual way of life for people who are ready to down size their lives for practical reasons. Students who are burdened by student loans but prefer to lead independent lives as they enter the workforce find the option to build a tiny house as their starter house. Entrepreneurs who want to take control of their life by starting their own business find downsizing to tiny house living as the most practical approach to managing finances as they start a business. Older folks who are at the cusp of retirement age have been known to sell off their property, the house they built their life and family in, to wind down and settle into old age in a much more manageable space which a tiny house is able to provide.

These tanks suffer a great deal of strain during an earthquake, as a complicated pattern of stress affects them such that poorly designed tanks have leaked, buckled, or even collapsed during seismic events.

Trajectories in Architecture: Plan, Sensation, Temporality presents a compelling examination of underlying issues in late-twentieth-century architecture. Three formal preoccupations and conceptual orientations are used as guiding threads or trajectories. These three trajectories – the plan as conceptual device, a logic of sensation, and temporalities – serve to organise individual chapters in the central sections of the book and provide a new lens to the study of period work, revealing architectural conditions and consequent spatial effects little explored to date.
