French and German Gothic Architecture share structural similarities.

However, the Germans developed unique distinctions like

Architectural significance to Ornamental choice Introduction This research paper is based on a combination of architecture and sculpture, precisely the gargoyle. The inspiration for topic was grasped from a past production paper question which requested that one create a gargoyle spout inspired by a Caribbean cultural aspect. This question deeply intrigued me, providing themes for both a sculpture piece and my research paper. This paper is seeks to present the transition from which the gargoyle progressed

SEMESTER II SESSION 2012/2013 GKA 2043 Research Methodology Title: The Study of Gothic Style and Its Influence on Modern Day Concept Arts Introduction: Gothic art flourished from the 12th century to the 16th century in Europe in response of the Byzantine and Romanesque tradition. Although Gothic is associated with arts, its most prominent use is in architecture, mainly for its pointed arch and flying buttress. To this day, the Gothic style is taken as a ‘label’ for visual arts such as concept

John Caird’s vision for his production of Hamlet was to give it a “suffocatingly religious” atmosphere where “the set was part cathedral, part castle, part graveyard, part attic” (Bate 202). Together with set designer Tim Hatley, he succeeded. Amy Gamerman of the Wall Street Journal characterized the set as “dismal” and “vacant-looking.” The set was comprised of luggage, suitcases and old trunks that were stacked, torn down and restacked again in different ways to make different scenes.

The construction of the campus started in 1953 with the addition of a new dormitory wing for the monks. In addition to the church and monk dormitory, Breuer would eventually go on to design two student dormitories, a library, and a natural science research department. Construction of the church began in 1958. As if his proposed design of the church building wasn’t radicle enough, Breuer ended up adding on a 98 foot trapezoidal bell banner to the front of the church. (Fig. 6) The bell tower holds five

This unique approach has earned him the title “father of art history” by setting the stage for art historical research for centuries to come. His documentation of the artists during the Renaissance is the now most referenced monumental text in the field of art history, Lives of the Most Eminent Painters Sculptors and Architects.

places fractals could appear and was quickly drawn to the theories of the universe. I soon found that the entire universe being a fractal was very unlikely because it conflicted with Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, so I turned away from that area of research. I next turned to the applications of fractals only to realize that I was missing the mathematical concepts. My goal was to find which is the cause and which is the effect- does nature follow these numbers and concepts that we make up, or did we
