SAS REPORT

Designing Business Intelligence Reports:
In this assignment you will learn how to create new reports that will be used by different people in the organization. Business intelligence reports are very important communication tools in managerial decision-making and are targeted to variety of audiences that include accountants, finance professionals, marketers, salespeople, product managers, among others. The relevance, utility and timeliness of presented information are critical for effective and efficient decision-making. This exercise will provide you with a hands-on experience in understanding and building information-rich business reports.
Business Case:
You are the analyst at the business intelligence department of a retail, marketing and auditing consulting company and your new client is a Global Toys Corporation, one of the worlds largest toy manufacturers with operations across the globe. Few weeks ago, the company appointed a new Marketing Director, and in a recent presentation he announced a new strategy for some of the best-selling toy products. You are asked to lead in developing a case study (a visual story line) that will help the executive team for better and faster understanding of the presented information. In the new directors keynote, he wants to go over some facts about current business performance and then use that data to make the case for a new strategy. The director is not sure what type of data/numbers he will ultimately be using in his presentation, and therefore, he asked you to make the business report as flexible as possible in order to allow for further explorations, e.g., filtering, slicing and dicing.
Important Points to note:
As a minimum, explore the data to produce a report for senior management along the following lines.
Business locations or sites, products, sales, and customers.
Create a BI report with at least four sections but not more than six sections.
This BI report should include key facts about the companys performance on a global and regional level. These facts should include financial, marketing
related data, and or efficient use of resources.
Decide on the appropriate visualization tool/type to use based on the data you
choose, and information you intend to portray. How will this chart be perceived by a non-technical user? What questions may he/she ask and what answer(s) could she get with it?
You may consider a report along the following lines: Analyse the sites
Analyse the Products
Analyse the Sales Evolution
Analyse Customer Satisfaction
Once done, submit your report as a single PDF file to me via QMplus by uploading your work as a single file via the assignment link.

Vanna Venturi House by Robert Venturi, Explain the value of non sequitur and duality in architecture

Write a 1000-word essay using case examples of either Piazza dItalia by Charles Moore or Vanna Venturi House by Robert Venturi, Explain the value of non sequitur and duality in architecture. Support using at least two conceptual drawings. 

In the reading, complexity and contradiction, you saw how Venturi is describing the duality in architecture by using the ‘inclusive’ concept. He gives examples where contrasting elements are used to create a whole. The reading also explains how Venturi likes and includes non-sequitur elements in the buildings that may not necessarily be a logical arrangement.

Taking an example of Vanna Venturi House, you can see the traditional elements  like gable roof, lunette windows, long chimneys etc. applied in a very non conventional way. The main entrance in the centre is creating a sense of symmetry in the first look, but is not there due to placement of windows, you can also see a square opening in the centre of the facade that is creating a doorway, but the door stands to one side. The house looks very simple and traditional in the first look, but on a closer examination you can see how interestingly Venturi has worked on the details, scale, non sequitur arrangement and duality of elements to make it more complex.
