Specimen Cottage In Bendigo: An Architectural Analysis

Another notable building is also located in Melbourne, on Little Collin St, the Yule House. As one of the earliest modern architecture in Australia, its style that features bands of glass set in geometric patterns of fixed and opening panes, a terracotta surface and dominant spandrels extending well beyond the surface.  (Johnson, 2002) Both buildings were constructed under the Great Depression and their completion incorporating new material, new technology and new style signified “the clouds of financial gloom were already lifting” (“History - Manchesterunitybulding.com.au” n.d.)  and boosted the morale fighting against the depression.The two building are well preserved and still in function in 21st century.

As legend has it, the builders of St. Basil’s Cathedral were blinded by the command of Ivan the Terrible, so they could never create a building greater. There is still the question if St. Basil’s is actually the most beautiful cathedral made in its time. Comparing it to the beautiful Pisa Cathedral and Assumption Cathedral, which were made around the same time, one could find it hard to decide which is the most artistic. Looking at the materials, art, and icons of cathedrals are ways to gauge how beautiful the building is. St. Basil’s Cathedral was the most beautiful cathedral made in its time.

As time has progressed on, in a little town in eastern West Virginia, it is as though time has taken a halt. In Elkins West Virginia nestled in the mountain tops a small community on a hill does its best to preserve history the best way it possibly could by holding one of oldest buildings in town on its foundation. It is a showing of a time long before, it truly is something to be celebrated. History, a true design of focus on the Campus of Davis and Elkins

The first section of my report touches two case study buildings that considers such matters in an intimate way, the Dalby Forest Visitor Centre in Yorkshire, and the Heels Building, National Trust Headquarters, located in Swindon. The second section of the report focuses on a personal statement, giving my opinions on both buildings environmental sustainability and overall impact.

As I went to William Floyd Estate, I was aware of how to appreciate the historical person’s house. Not only the houses, I could appreciate the landscape surrounding the houses and imagined how actually lived there. Not only William Floyd Estate and Sagamore Hill, but also other historical houses are not just physical buildings. They contains history of that time period and lifestyle how they lived. Therefore, as they have been being preserved well so far, we need to be responsible for good and let more people visit there. Moreover, we need to preserve it with minimal repair and

Elizabeth Bay house that was built between 1835 and 1839 as the home of Alexander Macleay became one of the Australian historic houses and opened as a museum in 1977. This is a critical analysis of comparing and contrasting between the historic and contemporary design. The first object that has been chosen from Elizabeth Bay house was the ‘cabinet’ (picture 1) that was made for Alexander Macleay in the late 18th century and the second object is contemporary cabinet which is called “Delphine Cabinet” (picture 2) made by the company named Coco Republic design. In this critical analysis, firstly it will demonstrate the detail information of each item. Secondly, it will explain the significance between the two objects that related to the international design movement during their time.

The edifice in itself was rather imposing. It was a large construction similar to European cathedrals. From the point of view of the religious feeling, I considered it to be more appropriate than catholic churches that resemble more to museums and are extraordinary in their art. Usually in catholic churches the edifice is impressive in its shape and construction and the first thought is to associate it to a pierce of art rather than a place of prayer. By comparison, this Orthodox Church was not that lavishing in details or artistic nature and the outside paintings set a religious feeling as I entered. A cemetery or a place for holy burials such as the former priests that served at the Church surrounded this church. This is not mandatory to happen but most of the times, Orthodox churches have in the vicinity the cemetery.

When we study old cultures we learn how people adapt to their environment and cope with natural disasters. We learn how patterns of immigration affect languages and why civilizations thrive or die out. Studying the remints of culture, help us understand how people lived long ago, and helps us understand our own civilization. However, not all of the world heritage sites are ancient ruins; also included are Australia’s modern Sydney Opera House, the Tower of London, in England, The Statue of Liberty, in New York Harbor, and other recognizable structures. These are all impressive places of outstanding value to people around the world.

The Oregon Historical District is a twelve city block area in Dayton, Ohio that is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. This reasonably small area has both commercial and residential land uses. Though mixed use space, commercial and residential, is seen as a modern phenomenon, this area of land is quite old for an American city with the original plat recording in 1829. However, the homes in the area developed over a period of 100 years which allowed for them to development with different architectural features with the most common being Classic Revival. This different architectural development could also be seen throughout the business district. Intriguing ideas held within the historic value of the Oregon Historical District are the ideas of preservation and protection. Instead of requiring its residents to rehabilitate the homes to original status the requirements are that the home look authentic and have the appeal of authenticity. The aesthetic nature of the homes should be less museum-like and more home-like with the intention of preserving the architectural character of the past.

The Cathedral was a symbol of authority and religious achievement to people of the Middle Ages. Both Romanesque and Gothic style cathedrals are monuments to the skill and creativity of medieval people. Upon entering a Romanesque or Gothic style cathedral, one would have noticed that the function of these houses of worship is very similar. They are each an urban religious center in which priests conducted masses. Upon further examination of the sculptures and the different structures that embody them, one would have found that they differ quite dramatically.

A cathedral is known to be a place where a person performs religious practices in the light of one or more deities. Cathedrals can connect people who share the same beliefs by gathering them all together; the same goes for any religion. In the short story, “Cathedral,” written by Raymond Carver, the controlling image is a cathedral, as it is repetitive from becoming the title of the story to the main symbol through the entirety of the narration. Carver makes an appeal to emphasize that – through the story’s plot, his style of writing, the captivating use of imagery, and the overall theme of the story – a simple building can shed some light on how one chooses to view the world.

While constructing both of these cathedrals there were sculptures created that represented narratives of theology and mysticism. Both were created for a place of worship that’s why sculptures and paintings of religious images were added. This showed a great respect for the belief in Christ and the surrounding believers.

In this picture, Victorian style house stands alone in the field. A railroad track cuts through the foreground. There is a bare sky behind the house with no secondary objects in the immediate surroundings of the building. this enables us to keenly focus on the articulation of the building and its relationship with its environment.
