A Study on the Seagram Building

After standing for nearly six decades, the two public housing high-rise buildings that once defined Blumberg Apartments and

The Eshelman Building was built in 1872 in Clarence New York. It is currently located in its same position as 150 years ago where what is currently called the four corners. The builders of this piece of history are John and Jacob Eshelman and after that point their nephew, Andrew Eshelman took over. The building is 3 stories and each one had its own purpose. The first floor was the store and they sold clothing to hardware. The second floor was a 3,000 square floor apartment, or bed and breakfast where some political figures stayed during elections. There was an interior fire in the 1900s but luckily the beautiful exterior stayed intact for all of us to see today. The third floor was used as a stage for theater and entertainment and was

Levittown project was taken up in the U.S. after the end of Second World War, with the aim of providing mass housing facilities to people in the wake of increasing urbanization and problems of accommodating large population in limited urban area (Friedman. 1995). The first of Levittown apartments were constructed on Long Island, New York and they symbolized the modern trends of urbanization and housing developments (Clapson. 2003). This paper shall study the impact of Levittown project on trends of further urbanization and analyze the aesthetics of design and development involved in it.

The San Francisco, California, Bayview-Hunters Point district carries the stigma of being a ghetto because of issues such as a lack of education, poverty, crime, and disease, which push financial investors away and lowers the number of homeowners willing to occupy the area. Today, the district is faced with the task of redeveloping its housing, economy, parks, and streets after decades of strife. This report is written in the context of urbanization of Bayview-Hunters Point that began during 19th-century livestock slaughter housing and carried on through 20th-century industrialism. The San Francisco Naval Shipyard project was an initiative made by the United States Navy during World War II in a bid to house thousands of new employees and their

103Federal Street is a rectangular, two-story, single-pile, three-bay, parapet-roofed building constructed circa 1900. It is constructed primarily of brick with a decorative metal, Italianate cornice. 103 Federal Street comprises one of four storefronts within the same building. Each store front is divided by a brick wall. The storefront at 103 Federal Street was heavily altered in the 1950s and is now incongruous with its neighboring storefronts. The first floor contains a full-width storefront with a central door flanked by two-picture windows in metal frames. The second story contains two evenly-spaced modern vinyl one-over-one, double-hung sash windows. The second floor has been clad in horizontal vinyl siding

The building has an innovative structure, as it was one of the first buildings to use a technique of pouring concrete in stages. This was, unfortunately, discovered when the building was 20 stories high. Though, the building is 100 stories high, so it helped the

I have been to Times Square for two times, and I have a very deep impression on it. It locates in the interchange of Manhattan 42 west street and Broadway avenue. It is interesting that Times Square is

The novel of interest The Yacoubian Building written by Alaa Al Aswany is praised by scholars since the material highlights the taboo of homosexuality and offers insight about Egyptian society and its culture. Based on the material provided in the text, one must highlight that the characters in the book utilize their physicality and charm as a tool to harness control over others in order to meet personal demands and/or indulge in sexual desires. The characters Busayna and Hagg Muhammad Azzam take advantage of their physical nature and magnetism as a method to discover oneself as well as attempt to break away from their customary life. This is significant because due to the inconsistencies that these individuals have encountered in their life it contributes to how these two forms of appeals are means of restoring stability. Busayna using her physique to meet certain demands puts her on the pathway to break away from employment hardship and conflict pertaining to income within her family structure. Azzam using his charm to seduce men to achieve gratification contributes to in his quest to recover the emotionally and physically connection he once took pleasure in at a young age. As a whole, these characters lack the strength to form their own identity and ultimately make choices for themselves. Therefore, using elements that they already possess such as their looks and ability to persuade others becomes a

This is an analysis potentially applied to the Alfred P. Murrah building; the Murrah Building was relatively a low-risk building. In honesty, the building was not notable, it was not a landmark, nor was it of critical importance. But, the use of standoff distance should still be incorporated. The installation of bollards is relatively low cost. The benefits of standoff distance are not only that of protecting but that of a more public setting. It removes buildings from the street-fronts, opening the sidewalk for more potential public spaces (The National Capital Urban Design and Security Plan). While this concept is not applicable to all locations, such as densely packed New York City, it is certainly applicable to the more sparsely spaced Oklahoma city. The empty standoff distance is not the only usable space that would be able to benefit the public, bollards have even been designed to incorporate built-in benches. This adds daily

Mark Rothko’s “Seagram Murals” are some of the artist’s most emotional and spiritual paintings he ever produced in his life. In June of 1956, Rothko accepted a commission to decorate the dining room of the Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram building on Park Avenue in Manhattan. Rothko became completely captivated with this project as he created thirty canvases when there was only room for seven. Rothko had bad vibes about this project, so he withdrew because he was positive that the wealthy patrons wouldn’t appreciate his paintings. The paintings appeared in London on the morning of Rothko’s suicide. There was never any detail as to why Rothko withdrew so abruptly withdrew his paintings and returned his money in 1959. Rothko described this

Building 13B, located at the southeast corner of Phantom West and George Blvd., was fully pre-leased to Arden Companies, a leading US manufacturer and marketer of outdoor cushions, furniture, and décor, for 211,000 square feet of space. The remainder of the building was leased to Newell Brands, a leading

Reims Cathedral was built within the Marne department of the Champagne-Ardenne region between the years 1212-1300. However, Reims genesis dates back to 496 AD as a previous cathedral once occupied the land on which the new cathedral was built upon. A fire destroyed the original cathedral structure on May 6th, 1210. 2 years after the fire, it was decided to initiate work on the construction of the new, cathedral that exists to this present day. This second cathedral is in the French gothic style and was designed to be much more capacious in contrast to its fire- destroyed predecessor. ”The nave and aisles of the western arm are broadened out in the eastern arm.” This logic permitted larger crowds to attend coronation ceremonies. The cathedrals predominant function is a place of worship under the denomination of Roman Catholics. An assembly of architects participated in the design over a period of 7 centuries due to adaptations and refinements materialised to its design. Such names consist of Jean d 'Orbais (1175-1231); responsible for the first initial design work of the cathedral, Henri Deneux (1874-1969); who laboured over the architectural restoration of Reims after bombing raids in WW1, Bernard de Soissons (birth date and death date unknown) noted as a participant with Jean in the initial design work of the cathedral. One fundamental aspect explored by studying Reims Cathedral is the quality of natural light and how it is affected by its both artistic and
