Cascadilla Hall

The next day on Sunday, February 28 I went to Schilletter Dining Hall at around 3:33 PM. Schilletter was smaller than Harcombe and had a different layout. Schilleter is set in a shape similar to a circle which has the different food stations all around. At first I thought that this place would have more groups of people since it is smaller but it turned out to be the opposite. In schilletter I noticed a larger amount of people isolated from each other. There were more places for people who eat alone to sit because of the layout of the dining hall. It is interesting how the shape and the arrangement of a dining hall can modify how people sit and socialize. Because of the tables being all around people were able to make less contact with each

These homes consisted of a central space with a large hearth used for cooking and warmth, had many passageways connecting all the homes, and furniture including cabinets, dressers, and chairs made of stone (3). Each home had a specific feature that made them different from one another including different paintings, materials found such as jewelry and pottery, and some even had burials in them

For many years, the architecture aspect (ideas and elements) from the Roman and Greek were borrowed in the Philadelphia’s buildings. One popular building that was label to be a “Greek Revival Style in America” according to Thomas U. Walter from the text book of Philadelphia Architecture A Guide to the City is the Founder’s Hall at Girard College. Founder’s Hall is the only building that many Philadelphians or tourists can experience a similar expectation as one of the Greek’s temples. There are a lot of differences with a few similarities with the Founder’s Hall to the Greek Temples. The three temples that will partake this analysis and comparison to the Founder’s Hall will be the Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike and Temple of Hera.

There were bright interior images of the home with a spacious neutral tiled enclosed front porch with a bay window and a slight view of the living room. The eat in kitchen had attractive cabinetry, a complement of appliances, and a nice-looking counter. With the angle

The first building one sees upon walking up the marbled Memorial Steps is Eaton Hall. Situated upon a hill, this incredible building has its own set of marbled stairs leading up to it. Upon reaching the door, the visitor, having traversed three sets of marbled, is struck with a sense of bafflement: there is no door; it was merely a façade. Such an experience is a metaphor for Eaton Hall: a marvellous exterior conceals a forlorn interior.

The staircase in Thomas consists of much darker wood which complements the darker, formal space whereas lighter wood is used in the modern, causal campus center. The banisters in Thomas have cutout patterns within, exhibiting an elaborate design. The railings in the campus center are twofold; on the bottom half of the staircase the supports are thicker and consists of a symmetrical design. As the stairs turn ninety degrees upwards, these supports become thinner and are simply repetitive rectangular posts. The actually steps are shielded by carper. Thomas Hall’s grand staircase is only partially covered with this carpet as there is approximately a foot of uncovered wood on each side. The carpet itself is a deep red with gold leaves that complements the dark wood and shows off the formality of the space. The campus center stairway is covered completely in carpet and is a dull, washed out gray-blue. However, it’s appropriate for the space in which it resides, because of the monotone color it doesn’t distract and fits into the subtle structure connecting these two separate

There were many bright interior images of the freshly painted and newly carpeted home. There was a long neutral tiled entry and a gigantic carpeted living room a nice-looking lighting fixture and sliders. The roomy eat-in kitchen had hardwood flooring, ab abundance of white cabinetry,

According to Dictionary.com “Home” is a house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household (Dictionary).” The word “home” has several different meanings to it that may mean dissimilar things to many unlike people. Some say their home is where they

Our home is the place where we lived. However many dangers and accidents can be happen to our home. There are many dangerous things in the house that can trigger and harm us. We should be aware of these things to avoid pain or injury.

An object that represents home to me is a quilt hand sewn by my grandmother as it is an objectified collective memory of home. This quilt may be a common domestic object that is seen in every household, but to me, it is a powerful connection of the home, which reminds me of my family’s comfort, care and affection. Henceforth, Home is an objectified as a metaphorical embodiment of memory and relationships with my family (Morley, 2000)

Research for the revisions to Ravenhill Dining Hall began with secondary research into alternative models and dining services trends. This research gave us a foundation to build upon in the Philadelphia University community. Looking at professional journals such as Food Management, we found specific trends in the dining services as well as the driving forces behind them. These trends included students wanting flexibility, hub-like dining, and take-out or delivery (Watkins). The average Philadelphia University student is part of Generation Y, which means their relationship with food is different than previous generations. They grew up with food network’s celebrity chefs, are well traveled for their age, and “engage and connect with their food,” (UCI). These findings informed the models that we chose to go forward with; as we wanted to make sure that they fit these trends.

A sense of place can be defined and can be used in many different ways by various different people. To some, it is a characteristic that some places have and some do not, while to others it is a feeling or perception held by people and not by the place itself. It is often used in relation to those characteristics that make a place special or unique, as well as to those that adopt a sense of dependable human attachment and belonging. Homes are often regarded as a place where people get attached and build relationships with their homes. They are often where most feel a sense of place. It is why most regard

If individualisation is considered as a strategy for designing the environment, its counterpart needs to be examined too. As the opposite, standardised housing creates a uniform environment that eliminates the problem of fitting in. Pre-fab housing of the post WWII era, such as the Airey House

The main hall was decorated in four colors, which are orange, golden, red and dark blue. There were four large orange columns upheld the roof of the main hall. On the top of these columns, there also were some golden patterns. Some red seat mats and
