vient à sont tour ressortir du bâtiment comme étant un élément isolée pour marquer plus cette entrée. Dans ce côté, les logements sont traversants, ce qui permet de profiter d'une vue sur le Drac mais également une vue sur le parc. La façade côté Drac offre des loggias qui permettent aux habitants de l'exploiter pour prendre des repas par exemple sans être gêné par les regards des passagers ni le bruit venant des enfants qui jouent dans le parc (Pic. 4).

Le parc vient garder une distance entre les logements et les places de parking, qui restent tout de même près des habitations. Cela permet aux habitants de garder une certaine intimité mais aussi de vivre une certaine transition pour accéder à leur logements (Pic. 5).

Une séquence est organisé dans cet ordre : Drac, chemin piéton, logements, parc, parking, route (Pic. 6)

Le parc alors vient s'insérer entre deux éléments linéaires (les logements et la route) en accueillant un chemin piéton léger ayant une forme courbée, dans le but de casser ce rythme linéaire et apporter de la fluidité, ainsi permettre aux usagers de se promener dans le parc. Ce chemin vient aussi effleurer les places de parking pour faciliter l'accès aux habitats quand il pleut. Autrement, le parc permet d'accéder à des gradins et des escaliers mais également un chemin piéton, qui sont mis en place pour créer un lien avec le Drac (Pic. 7). D'une part, ces dispositifs d'assises offrent une agréable vue sur le fleuve tout en étant entouré par la végétation qui s'étend sur les deux côtés de ces derniers, d'une autre, ils permettent de valoriser l'espace qui existe entre les groupements d'habitats.

Ainsi, le chemin permet aux gens d'avoir une belle promenade au bord de l'eau. En effet, ce chemin est à son tour soutenu par des pilotis, ce qui le rend plus léger et fluide. Chose qui permet de toucher le moins possible l'existant. Le retrait du niveau -1 par rapport à la façade permet d'accueillir un espace de repos abrité grâce à un banc plus ou moins large qui est mis à disposition des usagers.

Sur la rive Nord, du côté du Pont-de-Claix, le système constructif est principalement identique à celui de l'autre rive. Cependant, la différence réside dans les dispositifs de distribution. Une barre horizontale vient accueillir l'ascenseur et escaliers et permet de desservir les appartements grâce à des passerelles. En même temps, elle joue le rôle d'une barrière acoustique qui a pour but de limiter les nuisances sonores provenant de la route et protéger les habitations de son agitation. Pour cela, les logements sont plus ouverts et orientés vers le côté du Drac.

THE ARCHITECTURE OF UNUSUAL HOTELS OF THE WORLD

In this article, the authors analyze unusual hotels in the world, highlight their common features and differences and divide hotels into groups. Characteristics of each group and their significance for the modern world are presented. For a more detailed consideration, authors selected 3 groups: ecofriendly hotels, original design solutions, historic buildings.

A group of historic buildings is represented by hotels like: Hotel Kominkas in Tokushima Prefecture (Pic.1). It is a traditional Japanese wooden farmhouse in the period of Genroku; Hotel Cuevas Pedro Antonio De Alarcon in the village of Guadix in Spain (Pic.2). The hotel complex consists of 23 caves in which in the 15th century the Moors hid from the Spaniards; The Museum Hotel in Turkey (Pic.3) is housed in ancient caves and its ruins were discovered during archaeological excavations in 1998. All rooms are decorated with real museum exhibits: priceless works of art, hand-made carpets, antiques. The hotel also has a museum, a garden and a restored historic complex of Maara Konak with halls and a panoramic terrace. Chateau de Bagnols in France is a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture, which in the ninth century was turned into a luxury hotel. Movenpick Hotel in Hamburg was built into the water tower of the XIX century. Le Phare du Pot de l'Eau-de-Vie in Canada is a lighthouse, set in 1862 on the St. Lawrence River, was abandoned 100 years later, and in 1989 was reborn as a hotel. It is architectural monument of federal significance. Cley Windmill in the UK is a windmill built in the early 18th century.

All these hotels are united by the fact that they give people the opportunity to touch history, which, judging by the popularity of such hotels, is still necessary for modern man.

The basic criteria in the selecting of eco-friendly hotels were: using of innovative technologies saving nature resources and connection with nature.

The list of innovative hotels includes Leaprus and The Refuge Du Gouter. Leaprus is located on southern slope of Mount Elbrus (3912 meters). The building is created by Italian architectors in according to modern technologies. The system generation in the form of solar panels makes this hotel fully autonomous. The use of innovative technologies let hotel provides heat and

noise insulation, resistance to wind and low temperatures.

The Refuge Du Gouter is located at the Mont Blanc (3845 meters) and it also uses solar panels and wind generation for it energy. Water is extracted from of top of Mont Blanc.

The list of ‘Natural’ hotels includes Montana Magica Lodge and Free

Spirit Spheres.

Montana Magica Lodge is constructed in the jungle of Chile’s Huilo

Huilo Natural Reserve. The main problem of projecting this hotel was not to violate natural landscape of reserve and make it much more harmonies with nature. For the building of hotel used natural stone mined nearby.

Free Spirit Spheres are located on Vancouver Island. Working on project Free Spirit Spheres, designers used the principles of biomimicry. The Spheres are adapted to life in forest; it’s not afraid of any punctures and cracking.

Tubohotel, located near Mexico City, also can be included into the list of eco-friendly hotels. Tubohotel is an affordable hotel that uses recycle concrete tubing for its rooms. Producing concrete an ecological footprint, but recycling concrete make it much friendlier as a building material.

We can conclude that the hotel’ architecture is adapted to the needs of each individual customer and it has a next special features: wide range of shapes, structures and materials, designer’ solution, affordable for all people in society.

Next, we consider hotels that differ in their unique design.

512

Attrap'Rêves is a French network of 5 small hotel-bubbles located not far from each other in the most beautiful places of Provence (Pic. 4). The design of the rooms in the hotel is made of transparent elastic material, which does not allow ultraviolet light during the day and protects against insects and dampness at night. The shape of the bubbles is maintained by fresh air, injected by a small silent device. If guests want to be alone with nature and dream under the stars for a day or two, then Attrap'Rêves is a wonderful place for such a holiday.

Tree Hotel in Sweden was built by three leading architects - Bertil Hurstrem, Thomas Sandell and Morten Kieren. The Mirrorcube is an amazing design among the trees, camouflaged by mirrored walls that reflect their surroundings (Pic.5 ). The dimensions are 4x4x4 metres. The base consists of an aluminum frame and the walls are covered with reflective glass. The interior is made of plywood with a birch surface. A 12-meter-long bridge leads up to the tree room.

The Bird’s nest a unique architectural object (Pic. 6). The treeroom’s exterior is nothing but a gigantic bird’s nest created from a multitude of branches. It gives a camouflage so you quickly disappear and become part of the surroundings.

The Blue Cone is based on simplicity and accessibility, both in terms of material and design (Pic. 7). The room is a traditional wooden structure with three foundations in the ground to give a sense of height and lightness, but also stability.

The hotel has other amazing apartments: in the form of a UFO, dragonfly and bunker.

The Shipreck Lodge. This hotel was created by Melanie van der Merwe and resembles shipwrecks (Pic. 8). This unusual form was inspired by the famous Skeleton Coast in Namibia. The hotel operates on solar panels; and on the upper deck there is a restaurant overlooking the sandy plain that meets the ocean.

513

In conclusion it is necessary to say that architectural works are perceived as cultural symbols and works of art. Historical civilizations are often known primarily through their architectural achievements. Cities, regions and cultures continue to identify themselves with their architectural monuments.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF DATA BASE TO WORK WITH INFORMATION AND DATA OBTAINING IN AGRICULTURE

The article entitled “The Development of DATA BASE to Work with

Information and Data Obtaining in Agriculture” is devoted to the research and data base creation. We have studied the ways how to systemize and develop data bases to work with information and data obtaining in agriculture.

Relevance lies in the fact that databases are convenient for use in various spheres of human activity: in economy, banking, trade, transport, medicine, science, but not in agriculture. Databases are not reliable in this area and inconvenient for the user. They give discomfort when filling in and accounting for agricultural data, and can lead to problems and failures in the implementation of plans.

Objective is to develop an automated database (DB) with the use of the Microsoft Access 2010 relational database management system (DBMS) for the registration of crops in agriculture. The purpose of this article is to develop a database and perform the following functions:

•Input, storage and modification of data on workers, lands, plants;

•Storage of data on work performed;

•Perform selection and sorting of data (the number of works performed by the worker);

•Search for data (work performed in a given year).

514

Such a database must store data and be easy to use for users.

The object of the article is the Agriculture database. Agriculture is a branch of the economy aimed at providing the population with foodstuffs (food) and obtaining raw materials for a number of industries. His duties include processing information about plants, lands and agricultural workers. The storage of information on the computer makes it possible to save other resources and quickly receive up-to-date information.

The registration of crops in agriculture begins with the filling of the information base with information about the plants that have arrived. Each plant is distributed to the appropriate site, depending on the date of receipt. Each site can have one or two workers. The distribution depends on the employee's category and the date of sowing.

After registration of the plant, its sowing is noted in the Work Record, where the code of work, the required work and the date of its recording are fixed.

The process of creating a database in Microsoft Access 2010 is as follows:

▪Create table structures, key fields.

1)List of plants. The entity has the following attributes: Plant code, Date of receipt, Name;

2)List of employees. The entity has the following attributes: worker ID, full name, length of service, category;

3)List of lands. The entity has the following attributes: Site code,

Category;

4)Journal of inoculum. The entity has the following attributes: Sowing number, Job code, employee ID, Site code, Plant code;

5)Accounting for work. The entity has the following attributes: Job Code, Required Works, Planting Date, Employee ID, Plant No.

▪ Fill tables with data. The amount of data in the tables should ensure the issuance of at least 3-5 records for each job request (Table 1).

THE DEVELOPMENT OF SQL QUERIES FOR THE “RESTAURANT”

DATABASE AS A WAY TO INTERACT WITH STRUCTURED DATA

Nowadays we can hardly imagine an organization where computer technologies are not applied. They use databases to store and coordinate a large amount of information. To search and change this data different programming languages are used. Structured Query Language (SQL) is designed to create and operate relational databases, represented as sets of related data stored in the form of a table.

The issue of the study is up-to-date in our modern conditions, for the databases often being used in various domains. In every technological industry, the ability to work efficiently and fast in a DBMS-based (Database Management System) program indicates the high competence of an employee.

The object of the study are SQL queries that are created in the relational Access database. The purpose of the study is to create SQL queries for an efficient search of necessary data extracted from structured tables.

To achieve the aim of the study the following tasks were done:

1.The theory of databases and the SQL language were studied.

2.The "Restaurant" Database was created.

3.The operations of recording, changing, and deleting data in the database were analyzed.

4.Simple select queries were created.

5.Request for grouping was made.

517

In the beginning, I studied the subject domain and created tables. Then I identified relationships between the tables, selected primary keys and filled in the fields of the tables. The resulting relationship diagram can be seen in the picture 1.

Pic. 1 Relationship diagram

Picture 2 shows a restaurant menu search query. When you run it, an additional window will be opened where one is suggested to type the name of a dish. If the restaurant database contains the required word, it will be displayed providing its price and description. Let us analyze the syntax of this operation: SELECT – the operator helps the database to identify the operation as a query. After SELECT – the process of enumeration of the fields to be included in the query starts. FROM is responsible for the data source. WHERE is used to filter the results.

Pic. 2

In total, 10 requests were created to resolve various situations occurred. For example: requests to display unpaid orders; to link "All orders" and "The list of orders" tables; to calculate a daily average check, which indicates the average sum of all the orders made on a specific day, using the AVG function. A special request was made to display the data on the profit of the restaurant that allows

518

the user to key in a certain period of time referring to the profit. This query uses HAVING operator combined with GROUP BY to restrict groups of table rows. Only the rows with true conditions are returned.

Thus, SQL queries provide a large number of opportunities, in particular, to use and combine information from different sources. The advantage of SQL as a standard language is that it is suitable for using on different computer platforms with different DBMS. This reduces the amount of work that is generally done using universal programming languages. All the analyzed factors increase the importance of research related to this topic.

THE IBM METHODOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR TRANSLATING BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS INTO THE ARCHITECTURE OF BUSINESS PROCESSES OF AN ENTERPRISE

Nowadays, the external environment is changing quite quickly, that is why, the requirements for adaptability of enterprises are becoming higher and higher each year. Each enterprise has its own EA, that is the reason, why I found it interesting to talk about. The enterprise architecture is the most common and comprehensive view as a single object that has short-term and long-term goals for its core business, development strategies, external and internal resources that are necessary to achieve the goals, as well as additional rules for conducting basic business operations.

The main problem in ensuring the adaptability of enterprises is the coordination and control of changes that need to be carried out within its framework. When you change goals, the strategy is changing too, that leads to a change in various business processes, the priority of projects, as well as the organizational structure of the organization itself. All of this affects various aspects in enterprises, and the enterprise architecture is not an exception. And precisely competently built enterprise architecture will help to be competitive in the modern market.

The relevance of this work lies in the fact that at this stage of development of most areas of business in the world, people and enterprises often turn to a graphic description of their company structure and organization, and this work will help to understand that there is a variety of stages of development of business processes, building enterprise architecture, also different practices and metrics that can be used to build various models. The process of developing
