Macroscopic indeterminacy in the evolution of a dissipative structure. At each instability threshold, there is choice among two or more possibilities. If nonequilibrium, however, is diminished again, the structure retreats along the same path upon which it has come, except for the so-called hysteresis effect that is due to the work invested in restructuration. The structure "remembers" the initial conditions. Reprinted with permission from ErichJantsch [8] Copyright 1980, Pergamon Press PLC.

These developments demand a thorough-going ethical practise and a fund...

This research paper is an attempt to formulate a conceptual foundation to redefine the approach towards designing a communal commercial setting within the contextual periphery of women oriented trendy site such as “Gora bazar in downtown Saddar Peshawar”. To achieve this objective a three-tiered analysis framework was devised. It encapsulated studying the contextual responsive and site sensitive representation of an architectural vocabulary. This was analyzed with reference to the fashion trends of the target community. Rejuvenating community’s skin by its “genius loci” will be devising a spatial system respecting the retrospective and prospective setting for the user or communal representatives. Strong communal experiential space in a traditionally and contemporarily strengthened spatial arena, with the proposed architecture and the contextual tactility and visual effectiveness of the place is one of the prime objectives of this exercise. How a communal setup encounters their routine activity and behavioral patterns carrying a specific skin of fashion, trending, and people. The attempt to bring aesthetics together with commercial nature in such a state so that one can appreciate them together and understand that architecture can be fashioned and translated in formulating a successful environmental translation when you decide to bring outcome with disturbing the sagacious land setting given. To idealize a framework or a mechanism that shall enhance the awareness to respect the sensitivity and delicacy of fragile female nature at the peripheral arena of urban scape.

The evolution of the art site on the World Wide Web (WWW) and the web as a multimedia delivery system is discussed. The development of Web has various advantages in the innovative application of forms and advanced design strategies, reflecting not only the ability of the commercial gallery principals but also to noncommercial galleries. It is observed that one of the critical determinants to access the artist in web process is to access providers and consumers of art to the means of delivery. The new software products emerging will do a great deal in the development of web browsers for such commercial online service.

The use of computer graphics in creating art has been an issue of hot debate among the fine art community. Revolution in new technologies allows the artists to use computer graphics to create art in more innovative ways. Yet this new form of art is so different from traditional mainstream art that it is not well accepted by conservative artists. This study examines the cultural biases against the acceptance of computer graphics in art education. A survey was conducted among high school students in the United States to assess the effects of cultural biases, aesthetics, and software usability on the acceptance of computer art. Results indicate that enhancing software usability would be one means to overcome cultural biases against the acceptance of computer graphics in art education.
