1. Bouffrand: Salon de la Princess, hotel de Soubise, Paris, France, begun 1730’s
Salon de la Princess, is a many sided cylindrical interior room and is part of the Rococo style that incorporates minimal architectural features and light airy decor, that develops into a profession of interior design. Rococo is the revolt against complicated Baroque that decorated the interior of Versailles, in revolt against the palace and after the death of Louis XIV, French women who had city houses in Paris inspired a new lightened airy style of decor and architecture. As seen in the Salon de la Princess, the structure of the room has virtually been covered up by white walls of wood and mirrors, and it only contains hints

However, with the inspiration of the French landscape painter Claude, the landscape at this Palladian estate is completely manmade, with hills, lakes, trees, meant to look as nature had created it, and as in Claude’s’ landscapes it can be divided up into three layers, incorporating a dark foreground, light middle ground and light hazy background. Stooped in classical Roman tradition the garden is a place to break the rules, and Stourhead has architectural samples from all over the world incorporated into the landscape as temples, grottoes, and classical statues together with a Chinese bridge, and Turkish tent, which set a president from 1750 on where naughty architectural elements present themselves in architectural structures. This eclectic style is the bases of 19th and 20th century American suburbs, including new ones being built around the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia today, while also emerging in 20th century architects as Wright, who in the Robbie House(1900s) combined inspirations from many different cultures past and present.

An architecture scavenger hunt is an exercise where a person – the hunter – would go out and scout several different buildings primarily for the different and iconic architectural designs. The success of the scavenger hunt depends on the number of buildings a person is able to identify and the variations in the design of the identified buildings. It would not be essential to go round recording similar designs. The most iconic designs today are the Romanesque designs because of the History of the Ancient Romans and how they influenced modern civilization. In addition, many Romanesque designs are showed on Television. In this particular scavenger hunt,
Chris Reilly is a government commissioner in a town in Pennsylvania .He helped sort absentee-ballots because his county didn’t have the money to do so. He noticed that the applications for Donald Trump were 10:1 male, He also noticed that in the employment box was roofer, forklift operator, dockworker, grouter and so on, hard labor jobs. He understood that these people had never voted before, that they were just coming out of nowhere. Chris was so surprised that Trump was actually getting this much support.
This manifesto proposes an approach to sustainable design that I am interested in exploring during my time studying architecture. The idea of sustainability is a complex one, not without apparent contradictions. This makes it difficult to define in a wholly satisfactory manner. For the purposes of this manifesto I will advert to the definition proposed by Jason McLennan who asserts that sustainable design: “seeks to maximize the quality of the built environment, while minimizing or eliminating negative impact to the natural environment.” I find this definition particularly useful in the emphasis which it places on quality. By quality, in this
There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties, the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways we travel, or even the cars we travel in, it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered each idea to make it the best solution to a problem. Even though engineer 's goals are similar, there are many different things that engineers do within their selected field of engineering. This paper will focus on the architectural field of engineering.
While the sculptures in the courtyard and gardens tell stories of Greek past, they were mixed with the new style of Rococo. Rococo flaunted happiness, nobility and ornate appearance (Fiero 312, 314). On the palace grounds cherubs are seen dancing reflecting a sense of happiness (Perouse de Montclos 417). Inside the palace classic Greek culture is blended with new ornate design (Perouse de Montclos 285). This new design brought new life to the Classic design. The new design was seen reflected in paintings, sculptures, and interior design of the

The elements of design were created by Arthur Wesley Dow to help people see, describe, and create visual qualities in a systematic way. It consists of 7 elements: line, shape, form, colour, value, texture and space.
There is often some confusion when people start talking about the post-modernism and modernism in architecture in terms of their philosophical terminology differences. Modern architecture is known for its minimalism (Linder, 2004); buildings were functional and economical rather than comfortable and beautifully decorated. The post-modernism architecture, however, is called a “neo-eclectic, significantly assuming the role of a regeneration of period styles for designing houses, and a never-ending variety of forms and characteristics, asymmetrical designs for commercial buildings” (Fullerton Heritage, 2008). An example of these two polar opposites, “Less is more” made by Mies van der Rohe in 1928 (Blake, 1976) and "Less is a bore" made by

The Laurentian Library was commissioned and constructed by Michelangelo beginning in the early 1520’s in Florence, Italy. The library was a turning point for architecture in how buildings were artistically conceptualized. The library was built to house the 4,500 printed books and the the 11,000 family manuscripts of the Medici family. It was made for the Pope at the time, Pope Clement VII, who was a Medici. The library was meant to display the Medici family’s intelligence and to celebrate knowledge. The library was built on top of an existing convent at the Church of San Lorenzo. It was made up of two connecting parts, the vestibule with a staircase and a long reading room. The design of the library, especially the vestibule, is one of his most exceptional architectural achievements. Michelangelo had a vision to build a skylight in the vestibule, but this idea was shut down, and clerestory windows where built into the west wall instead. The windows are framed with pietra serena. Columns rest inside the walls, which appear to be supported on consoles. The texture between these columns is like a taut skin stretched out between them. The dramatic vestibule is a square area that is 48 feet high with a stone staircase that takes up most of the room. It is shocking that the vestibule is almost half as tall as it is wide. The stairs were constructed in such a complex way, and rarely has architecture ever portrayed such style that brings dynamic movement and drama. It is said the
Everyday we live and move through spaces without realizing the influence they can have on our daily lives. Built environments are designed to directly affect behaviour and attitudes in a specific and intended way; this can be referred to as architectural determinism (Marmot 2002). Almost all architectural patterns use the physical arrangement of elements, and materials to influence behavior. This can range from placing design elements in specific places to encourage or discourage people’s interaction with them, placing them to prevent access to a specific area, or placing them to direct or
Shakespeare is known as one of the best writers of all time, however there are many theories stating that he was not the one who wrote his famous theater acts. Macbeth is one where many people see there are acts, and scenes that someone with so little education could have written, many of these theatrical plays. Macbeth is one of his most well known pieces of literature, the reader is taken into the mind of a serial killer. Macbeth by Shakespeare has many scenes that have a significance in the whole play, act four scene three.
This subject was suggested as a possible topic from the course outline. As it is an area of much interest and controversy was chosen as the direction of study for the paper. Previous research into Virtual Reality (VR), coupled with a particular interest in its architectural application also proved motivating. However, although the direction of the initial research appeared straightforward, after further investigation it became obvious that there were in fact two distinctly different interpretations that could be drawn from the area of Virtualism in Architecture. This division was between whether VR was used FOR architecture (VR used as a tool to aid in architectural design). Or whether it was used AS
Finally, many tools were used to document our site visits that would used during the modeling of the buildings. As stated before, PlanGrid was very useful when viewing the construction sheets. PlanGrid was used on an iPad for easy access during the site visit. The iPad, as well as our phones, was used to take pictures of any notable changes or major features of the buildings. The pictures were used as references during the modeling portion of the project. A measuring tape was also used to take the dimensions of sections of the buildings that were not clearly labeled on the construction sheets. For example, the Architecture Annex’s terrance needed a measuring tape to measure its dimensions because the top-down view was absent from the
