Architecture, which can be understood in its most basic sense as a form of enclosure created with an aesthetic intent, first made its appearance in the Prehistoric Age. From its earliest developments, architecture changed over time and in different cultures in response to changing cultural needs, aesthetic interests, materials, and techniques.
The Historical Dictionary of Architecture provides information on architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Tadao Ando, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, and Konstantin Stepanovich Melnikov, as well as on famous structures like the Acropolis, the Colosseum, the Forbidden City, Machu Pichu, Notre Dame, the Pyramids of Giza, Stonehenge, and the World Trade Center. The dictionary examines the development of architecture over the centuries through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on the major architects, well-known buildings, time periods, styles, building types, and materials in world architecture.

Hi Friends,
Hope everybody is OK. I have got a job offer from a structural engineering firm based in Manhattan. They have following offer.
1- Annual Compensation of $65,000.
2- Medical/Dental/Vision/Prescription.
3- 15 Paid time off.
4 - No paid over time (though I have to work overtime).
5- No advantage if I get PE ( I am waiting for the exam result)
About my experience.
1- 4.5 yrs. experience as structural engineer from Pakistan
2- Worked with a contractor in NY for more than 3 years as project manager.
3- Unemployed these days, I left the job because of personal reasons, was getting $84,000 from that contractor.
4- Well familiar with ACI 318-08 and AISC LRFD 13th Ed.
5- Familiar with Finite Element Analysis Softwares ( Etabs and Staad Pro) and AutoCAD/Revit Structure
6- MS (structural engineering) from Ivy League College with GPA of 4.
7- Already taken PE Exam, Confident that I'll pass it.
8- Already earning about the same they have offered me by working with contractors ( preparing schedules, shop drawings, estimates etc.)
Personally I don't think that this is a good offer but I also acknowledge that I do not have structural engineering experience from USA.
So do you think it’s a good offer? It's not that I badly need a job but it’s just that I want to work on some high-rise projects.
Anybody from USA please guide me.
I have to reply them today ( 4pm EST) so early response will be highly appreciated.
Update 1-
Just got the PE result and I have passed it.
Heating and Water Service Design in Buildings has been written following thirteen years in the industry and twenty seven years teaching and consultancy work. The author has worked with college students, university undergraduates and open learning candidates of all ages.

1.1 This test method2 covers the determination of Young’s modulus, tangent modulus, and chord modulus of structural materials. This test method is limited to materials in which and to temperatures and stresses at which creep is negligible compared to the strain produced immediately upon loading and to elastic behavior.
1.2 Because of experimental problems associated with the establishment of the origin of the stress-strain curve described in 8.1, the determination of the initial tangent modulus (that is, the slope of the stress-strain curve at the origin) and the secant modulus are outside the scope of this test method.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory requirements prior to use.

Computational Modeling of Multiphase Geomaterials discusses how numerical methods play a very important role in geotechnical engineering and in the related activity of computational geotechnics. It shows how numerical methods and constitutive modeling can help predict the behavior of geomaterials such as soil and rock.
After presenting the fundamentals of continuum mechanics, the book explores recent advances in the use of modeling and numerical methods for multiphase geomaterial applications. The authors describe the constitutive modeling of soils for rate-dependent behavior, strain localization, multiphase theory, and applications in the context of large deformations. They also emphasize viscoplasticity and water–soil coupling.
Drawing on the authors’ well-regarded work in the field, this book provides you with the knowledge and tools to tackle problems in geomechanics. It gives you a comprehensive understanding of how to apply continuum mechanics, constitutive modeling, finite element analysis, and numerical methods to predict the behavior of soil and rock.

This book provides the first truly comprehensive study of damage mechanics. All concepts are carefully identified and defined in micro- and macroscopic scales. In terms of the methods and observation scales, the main part of the book is divided into three chapters. These chapters consider the stochastic models applied to atomistic scale, micromechanical models (for arbitary concentrations of defects) on microscopic scale and continuum models on the macroscopic scale. It is intended for people who are doing or planning to do research in the mechanics and material science aspects of brittle deformation of solids with heterogeneous microstructure.
