Trading Cigars for Science
Tampa is home to many great historical landmarks and architecture, with a rich diverse culture one is bound to find something new around each block. Ybor City being the small “city” that it is home to almost 1,000 historical buildings, some have been well kept and some have been left to decay. The history you can see in each building is astounding and it is like taking a step into a Latin melting pot of sorts. Many people may feel this area of Tampa should be destroyed and built anew, however there is much to see and do in Ybor and without it a vital part of one of the founding areas would be lost forever.
Where it all began
Vicente Martinez-Ybor moved his successful cigar business from Key West, Fl to what is now the city named after him Ybor city. For his business he needed a large and stable structure to withstand the ever changing Florida weather with its

Upon entering the circular courtyard surrounded by lush greenery, you will see staples from the Colonial Spanish Revival time period such as the steps that lead into the building with hand painted tiles at the base and the abundant windows that once served as lighting for the workers of the factory. Stepping through the curved archway entrance above is the original tin glossed ceiling that shines like a new penny. The thick wooden beams reflect light from all sides and the floor matches. As you step through each room they seem to grow with the high archways that lead from room to room. Sunlight pours through the windows and provides a natural soft glow and warmth to each room. The same red brick that you see on the outside of the building is left exposed inside as well it makes the office rooms and study area feel

The building itself uses an abundance of straight lines that give it a very neat and sleek finish. It is perfectly symmetrical, having a broad staircase with granite steps going right down from the second level to the front of the building. Written on these stairs are the words Invent, Discover, and Remember. Right next to this staircase, placed on each side are some brilliant green plants which wrap around the entire building and make it look very appealing. The building has several tower like sections that have upward sloping roofs that give it a bit of a medieval castle look. Made mostly of red brick and a yellow looking stone, this also gives the building the look of a castle. It also has lots of windows that give a welcoming feeling. There are also six bright lights which hang down from the second and third levels which add to that welcoming
The interior images showed clear, bright images of the open floor plan with high ceilings. There was a staircase in the spacious entry and a step-down to the roomy carpeted living room. It had an eye-catching beamed ceiling with many windows, and a slider that gave access to the sun porch. The gigantic

During my return trip to downtown Tucson I visited my favorite place and the one which I felt held the most power. The Cadence apartment gives anyone who enters it the feel of a five-star hotel. The apartments gave the ambience of upper class with its constant cleaning crew working to keep it in prestige condition and multiple amenities only the nicest and most powerful of places would possess. When entering, you are welcomed to a long all white hallway with multiple fireplaces and flat screen televisions. The all white building gives the impression of a sleek and clean upper class building. After continuing down the hall, you are greeted by a fully equipped gym and a large pool and hot tub. Overall, with grand sweeping hallways, five star amenities, and classy atmosphere, The Cadence possesses much of the attributions that lead a building to be architecturally powerful.
The main building of the Art Institute is constructed mostly of masonry, with few windows, and feels very heavy and overpowering. Grand staircases and large columns dwarf visitors as they move through the galleries. This is similar to the way the art in the space makes you feel: small, unimportant, and sometimes even afraid. The Modern wing in constructed of steel and glass, and is very open and bright (except when intended not to be). The large north wall facing Millenium Park is one large expanse of windows, letting in plenty of indirect sunlight, and opening the gallery to the park. The space feels very light, in both senses of the word. As with the old building, the art feels similar to the space in that it is more open and less opressive.
Above the bed’s pillows is a circular fixture, possibly a mirror. A white, decorated vase is in front of the bed, laying on the ground. Two tall, white flowers are set within it. Beside the bed is a green, gold trimmed chair with a red cushion. Above the chair is a dove with its wings spread, it is surrounded by a gold halo. Just above the dove is a depiction of a horned figure with a halo. To the left of the depiction is a gold chandelier that is styled in a similar manner to the angel’s scepter. Behind and to the left of the chandelier is an ornate diptych, only one of the panels are revealed. Inscriptions are below the diptych. A wood furnishing bearing intricate carvings supports the diptych, a white cloth rests on its surface. Below it is a metal plate and cup, a cloth resting on it. Beside the furnishing and diptych is an opened window, each of the opened panels attached to it in varying positions. A city is outside the window. Beside the window is a lit candle which is attached to the wall by a gold support, a decorative gold plate behind it. The room’s floor is made up of faintly colored tiles arranged in geometric
When people hear the word ‘marijuana’ or ‘medical marijuana’ their first thought it smoking, but the reality is that medical marijuana can be consumed in a lot of different ways. When patients obtain a medical marijuana ID, many choose to go with cannabidiol oil better known as CBD oil. CBD oil is usually put under the tongue and is method often used for children who are prescribed medical marijuana. The oil does not hurt the lungs and it is very easy to control a low dose. Another common method that people used is edibles. Edibles are food or drinks that are infused with medical marijuana.

The entryways of the building come from four different sides and meet in the middle. The overall shape of the building creates different views and facades. The building was not created just on the looks of it; it is made up of a three dimensional, stimulating, tactile human thing.

From the rooms on the first and second floor, the views of the city can be seen as there is a small balcony for each room that open onto this narrow airwell, water feature and the old party wall where the guests can have a cup of tea or coffee enjoying the beauty of the city. With the design which has lots of open and exposed spaces as well as the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and the modern comforts and fittings, plenty of natural light can penetrate into the room although they are compact and minimalist. Each light-filled guest room has a glass-enclosed compact bathroom with the privacy is protected as those glass walls are facing the mouldy walls of the adjoining shophouse.
