Spanish Revival Home Analysis

By the 6th century a Germanic tribe called the Visigoths, converts to Arian Christianity, had established themselves as the aristocratic elite. The Christians built many monumental basilica-plan churches. The Santa Maria de Quintanilla de las Vinas, Burgos, Spain and San Juan de Banos de Cerrato are two such churches that still remain today. In the beginning of the 8th century Islamic Muslims conquered Spain and ended Visigothic rule. They constructed militaristic and religious architecture including castles, watchtowers, rock castes, the Great Mosque, and the Red Palace. The remaining Christians adopted some of the Islamic styles and soon built upon a new style that ended up

The architectural influence of El Paso High School was from Classical structures such as the Maison Carrée from Nîmes, France (ca. 1-10 AD) as well as the Pantheon in Rome, Italy (ca. 118-128 AD). El Paso High School’s east façade and the Maison Carée each have a podium with Corinthian volutes, frieze, pediment, dentils and a hexastyle portico, which in this case is a covered area supported by six different columns (Photo 5). The differences between these two structures is that El Paso High School’s east façade is enclosed on both of the far ends and only has one engaged column on either side, while the Maison Carée’s façade has an open-ended side which is supported by multiple columns. The Maison Carée also sports a pseudoperipteral façade that runs around the building and El Paso High does not sport this same feature. El Paso High School has a few engaged-columns in certain areas around the school although they are not a highly important feature, I think.

The builder who conceived Model 4B2B must have been at least somewhat thoughtful. Various standard features do, indeed, suggest an early American domicile, even if they fail to convince you that the claim is legitimate: narrow clapboard siding, symmetrical Georgian facade, broad plank flooring throughout. The entrance is pilaster-flanked and pediment-crested. I have seen worse imitations.

This slanted roof is pivotal to the library because it gives the library a abstract look from the opposite side of the dome which solidifies the whole library's authenticity. Without this slanted roof one end of the library would look like a unique building while the other side would look modest and it would throw off the buildings whole ambience. The slanted roof also has glass windows for a proportion of its roof which allows for light to come down into the library, eliminating the need for lights during certain hours of the day. The slanted roof is also cool because it ties together two of most important parts of the library original architecture and beautifully crafted large windows. By finding a way to include the windows into the slanted roof it shows how much consideration Rob Wellington put into the Central Library.
