HISTORY OF BUILDING
Introduction
Evolution of built envelopment
Building construction is the art of providing shelter to human being. It is the oldest industry
which started with the existence of man. This is because man had to protect himself from
atmospheric inconveniences such as rain, wind, sunshine, snow etc.
The first pre historic man who lived during Stone Age lived in caves which were either
excavated on stone or on firm grounds. The excavation tools being sharp stones or sharpened
pieces of wood.
As man continued to become more civilized there came to existence of constructed shelters such
as traditional grass thatched houses with mud walls e.g. maasai manyattas, the Eskimo igloos etc.
Today we have modern construction technology in building industry with very much diversified
fields such as:-
- Masonry / concreting
- Plumbing / drainage works
- Carpentry / joinery
- Painting
- Electrical works
- Air conditioning
- Gases installation
- Tilling

Design & Analysis of Algorithm

We study data structures so that we can learn to write more efficient programs. But
why must programs be efficient when new computers are faster every year? The
reason is that our ambitions grow with our capabilities. Instead of rendering efficiency needs obsolete, the modern revolution in computing power and storage capability merely raises the efficiency stakes as we computerize more complex tasks.
The quest for program efficiency need not and should not conflict with sound
design and clear coding. Creating efficient programs has little to do with “programming tricks” but rather is based on good organization of information and good algorithms. A programmer who has not mastered the basic principles of clear design
is not likely to write efficient programs. Conversely, “software engineering” cannot
be used as an excuse to justify inefficient performance. Generality in design can
and should be achieved without sacrificing performance, but this can only be done
if the designer understands how to measure performance and does so as an integral
part of the design and implementation process. Most computer science curricula
recognize that good programming skills begin with a strong emphasis on fundamental software engineering principles. Then, once a programmer has learned the
principles of clear program design and implementation, the next step is to study the
effects of data organization and algorithms on program efficiency
