When considering the differences between the Rococo and Neoclassic styles, it is striking how completely different they are from each other. In the area of architecture, it is easy to see how they diverge when looking at examples of the styles. The Ottobeuren Abbey in Bavaria, Germany is a true embodiment of Rococo with its countless gilded, vapor-like coils of plaster and stone, bright, playful colors, and heavily sculpted décor. The United States Supreme Court, a familiar study in Neoclassic architecture, is the polar opposite. Someone viewing its stately, symmetrical shape, understated coloration with an emphasis on natural materials like marble, and towering, stately pillars may wonder if it came from the same planet as the abbey in Germany.

England has a long history of periodic architecture and aside from recent war damage and the destruction during the Dissolution of the Monasteries Acts in the 16th century by Henry VIII, much of its historic legacy remains intact.

You have heard the saying, “It’s not what you know but who you know?” Well, Blackman, certain doors are closed to you in life. However, Prince-Hall Freemasonry will show you how to unlock and open these doors, which will in turn, allow you to receive more "light" (i.e., gain knowledge of how the world really works and more about what has been concealed from you as discussed here). Masonry shows you the things that are hidden from you, yet hidden in plain sight, if only someone will take the blinders from your eyes so that you can really see what's going on (kind of like a racehorse) and see the game being plaid on Black People and humanity as a whole. Blackman, you have been programmed by your former slave-masters to have tunnel-vision and to look only in one direction (to White

It was 1742 when the first town hall in Boston was opened. It was named Faneuil Hall which was often referred to as the Cradle of liberty. Faneuil Hall served as a market place and a meeting hall during the mid seventeen hundreds and is still in use now as a public meeting place for the people of boston. It all started when a wealthy Bostonian Merchant named Peter Faneuil came up with the idea of building a marketplace in Boston. After much debate, Boston accepted Faneuil’s proposal. Once it was built, the town government also used the marketplace as a meeting space. The lower lever of the hall was divided into “stalls” which were exclusively for market purposes. In the market, meat, vegetable, and dairy products were sold. On the second floor,

The Boston Common, one of the oldest public spaces in the nation, has a skating rink in winter. It was created in 1634 and consists of 50 acres (20.2 hectares). It's part of the Emerald Necklace of parks in Boston. It was once owned by William Blaxton, the first European settler in Boston. The Commons were also used as a British Camp during the Revolutionary War. The Boston Common and Public Gardens, which is next to the commons, are both listed on the National Landmark Registry. The garden, located in downtown Boston, became the first public botanical garden in 1837 and has a lagoon, ponds, and swan boats (only run from April to September). You can enjoy watching a graceful pair of swans during spring and summer, and if you visit in May, you

The Great Rite is a term is that often misunderstood both within and without the Pagan communities. A ritual built around fertility and survival has over time become confused and conflated with sex. Those who originally would have benefited the most from the Great Rite were not perverts or pleasure seeking opportunists but were instead those farmers, agriculturists, and gardeners of the past. The primary purpose of the Great Rite was to combine the essence of female and male energies to encourage fertility in whatever areas it was encouraged towards. This would not be just crops but could also include animals (to continue their service to the humans who prospered from them) as well as families to help continue their lineage and grow the community.

The Stuart Hall Project (2013) is a non-linear documentary directed by John Akomfrah, which puts together a total of 800 hours of archives; radio, television or on film footages following Stuart Hall’s journey as a young Jamaican man who decided to move to Oxford for the start of his university studies. Throughout his journey of self-discovery, he explains how moving to England has forever changed his thinking on race, identity and culture, which he is now known for, as it also helped develop British Cultural Studies (Dudrah 2016). After the documentary was made public, it became an essential part of learning about British culture and identity, it showed how migrating to England could be an eye-opening experience in order to discover your identity

Everyone in college has an own special place on campus. This place may be a productive space where you do a majority schoolwork or a place maybe next to a prominent sculpture or historical place on campus. This place may bring back memories from home or might also even be a place you go to get away from the monotony of college life.

At the entrance, we can see there are a staircase that connect the lower and upper level of the restaurant and wood walls around the tiny eating space in lower level and the stairs. The wood gives the feeling of nature and also talks me that there are more seats available in upper level. The color of stair railing is brighter and more obvious than the wood wall color. The function is to remind customers holding the handrail and watching the steps. I

The Down shot of the staircase was photographed intentionally to document and save the architecture and interior design spaces of prestigious persons in Connecticut. The photograph is architecturally important because of its beauty and simplicity. The photo displays the detail of the carpet pattern, the curved lines of the bannister and downward view of the staircase, as well as the floor with its inlaid design. The title of the photo is essential because on first look it simply appears as a downward spiral of who knows what. The title of Down shot of the staircase helps the viewer to recognize the setting and appreciate the design elements of the staircase.

The flaws in the stairs represent the setback and obstacles she has encountered. Furthermore, on her climb up the stairs she “turned corners” (11) “gone in to the dark/ been where there is no light” (12-13). The imagery

During its construction, it was noticed that there was not suitable access to bring the food inside the room. The only existing accesses for this purpose where through the Marble Hall and through the Sculpture Gallery, something that wasn’t functional. Finally, in October 1753, Brettingham came up with the solution of having “an additional access via a hidden staircase in the interior courtyard, opening into an apse from which footmen could enter the Dining Room with food carried along ground-floors corridors from the kitchen.” The kitchen was finalized in 1756, which ended up being a large and well-designed space. “It rose through two storeys, with windows to north and south: ventilation grilles in the ceiling were connected to flues to carry off the steam.” Additionally, when Brettingham published his work done in Holkham Hall, he also mentioned the type of technology that was used for this country house, such as the sanitation, water supply and heating systems and

The developed surface that rises from the ground can be defined by wall decors, doors, or curtains, all of which can give extrusions and details to an otherwise flat and 2D surface. While the interior surfaces are ornate with plasterwork and decorations, the ground surface has furniture’s that occupies

Aside from the physical appearances both of these buildings serve different purposes for the public. The Maison Carree has had a checkered past and has served as a temple to dedicate the young sons of Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa and then later on was transformed into a Christian church. The façades of the building are part of a local high school in the community. The Maison Carree has columns that surround the external structure of the building whereas the east façade only has columns that stand in front of the entrance of this building. Another distinction between the two edifices is that the Maison Carree entire structure sits on a high podium unlike the high school where the façade is the only part that sits on a podium.

In figure 3 circled in red are the actual stairs on the exterior which one would follow to make their way through the site and down the house. However, the stair-like quality isn’t only relevant in the actual functional stairs. The ability to allow the house to become usable is how the parts circled in green also have a stair-like structure. This part of the structure is the living spaces, it’s not intended for anyone to walk down, rather it is used as outdoor living as well, housing green spaces and pools
