This article addresses how modern constructed public buildings are often unsafe. This is because most of them include big windows and large open spaces designed to inspire patrons of the building. Instead of fortressing these structures, this piece suggests renovating the entrances. This agrees with the essay in the way both stress the importance of front-end security.

Stability and balance is also achieved through the incorporation of the vertical and horizontal planes. In the southwest facade of the building the vertical slits are balanced with the horizontal planes created by the cubes, cornice and the ornamental horizontal band that runs halfway through the walls.

Building's scale is rather modest in comparison to its site and the surrounding landscape and the smooth texture of the facade helps its integration to the environment. (Figure 4)

The land, local people’ opinions and their feelings, must be taken into consideration, and furthermore.

The Peninsula Open Space Trust was primarily funded through donations and bought its first land in Portola Valley. The District is still growing, by adding more properties, but purchasing property that people may not want to sell has probably never been a “walk in the park.” Over the past decades there have been serious challenges to some of the agency’s moves, and sometimes they have overstepped, but walking through some of the opens spaces that have been preserved… well, that would take a book to describe. It is interesting to note, however, that at the same time land was being taken by eminent domain for roads and freeways, it was also being taken for relief from those roads and freeways.

Areas seem to be in fair condition, public trash cans, safe and citizens used it frequently

I have not had the fortune to travel to many places, but did not really need to in order to write about one of my favorite places. I have chosen to write about Vizcaya, a place in which I have personally been able to experience and enjoy many times throughout my life.

Its formal gardens and design are reminiscent of Italian home and garden design of the late 15th to 18th century, influenced by Veneto and Tuscan Italian Renaissance. These splendid gardens are very formal and orderly, created for the environment of the user. They are very symmetrical and include all sorts of fascinating elements

The sloping orientation of the landscape maximises public space whilst having a relatively small footprint. Some roofing areas of the building

Did you know “Of the city 's 55 neighborhoods, the report classifies 15 as "gentrifying" and analyzes how their housing and population have changed over the past two decades.” ("Report Analyzes New York City’s Gentrifying Neighborhoods and Finds Dramatic Demographic Shifts." Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 May 2017.). That is roughly a fifth of NYC’s neighborhood, which is a lot of people! Gentrification is the process of improving or renovating a neighborhood so that it can conform to middle-class taste. Because of this process there is thousands of people being kicked out of their homes, and their neighborhoods

Neo-classical designs with a touch of Romanesque, hence the pillars and the A-line pitched roof, the dome on top of the roof and Modern design from the use of brick facade. The home also has bay style walls to show somewhat of a roundest to it, but not like the other structures as mentioned above. The columns used on this house seem to be more of Ionic order, slender fluted pillars.

The building itself is a large white structure with a massive rotunda and four wings coming off the rotunda like arms. Surrounding the building are small parks and benches, as well as the busy sidewalk, which on Saturdays is packed with farmers’ market customers. The streets surrounding the square are lined with excellent local cafes, restaurants, and bars.

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as

The mixture of buildings of different conditions are necessary to public life because it otherwise would be neither interesting nor fascinating. But the main reasons are because they ensure low rent yields, encouraging the growth of small enterprises. Large swatches of new construction would only prevent income since not many would afford it, and the demand for it would not be as large as it would need to be.
