Growing sprawls generally covered hilly topographical landscapes with concrete residential and township masses, the catastrophe and anomaly that applies to the correct distribution of land usage within communities with natural landforms for the developed regions. The public's dogmatic mannerism of not reacting sensibly to this relevant topic frequently inflames the ongoing proliferation of mushrooms and uncontainable sprawl inside urban settings. This not only causes the severe infringement of the right of way assigned to sewers and natural drains, but also encourages the citizens to be the landgrabbers of public property. This problem escalates massively to the point of blocking the drains with rainwater and makes it possible for water to reach public properties, homes, as well as main transit roads along with secondary and tertiary routes. Apart from the megacities of Pakistan smaller cities and towns are also significantly affected by these issues. Its magnitude is obvious considering swift, unchecked cycles of mushroom development by preordained urbanization. That, in effect, expresses the consequences by catastrophically rising motorization and problemstricken automobile transports through cities and small towns. This paper discusses urban sprawl and amalgamation of the city of Abbottabad and suggests that these can be controlled by redefining the transport planning strategies with new suggested approaches synergizing multidimensional attributes towards cityscape.The focus of this article is the possible solutions that could be proposed for the predominant problem of upsetting vehicle flow through Abbottabad. This study suggests that for cities having inherited organic character, like Abbottabad, a context-sensitive transport substructure system should be devised.The solutions were achieved through retrospective/prospective typology of research design.The literature review catered the understanding of urban design, Urban sprawl and urban growth, Urban Transportation system, building skyline and city elevation, Urban scape systems for organically significant cities and Inter-relationship of attributes within perspective of urban scape system, that was elaborated with the help of international case studies having relevant research scope and perimeters. Observation Performa was also used as the major research tool for the collection of primary and secondary data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the developments in Mannerist art and architecture and the creation of Mannerism as a distinct category in the period between 1920 to 1950. It discusses the influence of Mannerism art in the development of Modernity and Modernism, as well as how the Mannerist art was connected to the baroque art. It also discusses how the psychological readings of Mannerist art helped understand the structure of the modern self and modern society.

The article discusses the juxtaposition of mannerism with baroque architecture in the book "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture," by Robert Venturi. It states that the book focuses on eras such as Mannerist, Baroque and Rococo, and discusses the works of architects such as Baldassare Peruzzi, Buonarroti Michelangelo and Andrea Palladio. It discusses Palladio's geometry, and describes how the book advocates mannerist architecture as the agent of mannerist times.

This article addresses the research on the theme of single-family houses of the well-known Italian rationalist architect Giuseppe Terragni (1904 –1943), author of Novocomum, Casa del Fascio, and Asilo Sant’Elia in Como, which are discussed in all of the major texts of modern architecture. The article is accompanied by computer reconstruction drawings of two houses. These drawings are important because one of these buildings –Casa sul lago per l’artista –has been demolished. The drawings for the second building –Villa sul lago –represent new three-dimensional views of an unbuilt, but crucial, project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the depiction of the thoughts and design for the Grande Galleria of Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy in France and Italy. Considered as one of the most prestigious and recognized painters, Federico Zuccari has been involved in the planning and execution of the Grande Galleria, one of the most characteristic projects of late Mannerism. Aside from the Grande Galleria, another project was Emanuele Filiberto's Teatro Universale and the common thread of the two projects was the presence of books, particularly manuscripts and printed volumes that made up the court library.

Presents a course work asking students to write a paper applying their vocabulary and modes of analysis to a postmodern building in their vicinity, preferably one that is a pastiche of older architectural forms and elements. Engagement in Nikolaus Pevner's connection of Mannerist architecture to the corruption in society of 15th century Italy.
