It is in a perfect world situated in the heart of the East End in the city and for voyagers it does offer wide range of luxury hotels in London. This building is presently unused, however initially utilized as a showroom for the building material and tiles for the organization. The building was being used in 1960s. In addition, now this building is transformed into a scene for craftsmanship presentations on a vast scale, yet it is an impermanent

Those of us who are now here carry on the vision of people like Don Hanauer, former Director of Operations for St. Albans. He saw the beauty in this building and had a vision of restoring it to its former glory. As outlined in the final chapter of this book, we have worked on a number of special events developed to generate funding for the structure’s restoration.

The year was 1943 and London was in the midst of realizing the extension of the damage caused after the Blitz, where German bombs were aimed at the Commons Chamber. Now, the Commons, alongside with Winston Churchill, had to rebuild the Chambers. That was when Churchill decided to maintain the old rectangular pattern of the room claiming that it was the cause for the English democracy system to be divided by two parties, saying the famous phrase: “We shape our buildings and afterwards our buildings shape us” (Churchill, 1943). He was no expert in architecture or design, but he was wise enough to realize the importance of it in the interactions between humans and the environment. People’s lives occur around the buildings they build; it is only

The world has been evolving as quickly as the population has grown. As the years progressed, the habitual lifestyle has transformed from spread out house and land living to city and suburban occupation. Along with the living style, cities have progressed from just roads and buildings to multifunctional spaces with copious possibilities. Federation Square in the ‘heart of the city’ is an example of how a space in the city vastly contributes to the visual culture of Melbourne. Times Square in New York also displays how what was previously an intersection of roads, has been transformed into a visual landmark. Melbourne city had always lacked a functional public space ever since its birth.

It was one of the first depot’s to be built in Victorian style having an office, a men’s and women’s waiting room and a freight room.

For too long architecture has been synonymous with creating and building things - new things, and it is time for that narrow scope to be redefined to include the redesigning of already existing structures. In densely populated cities such as New York because of issues such as cost and space availability, the average architect might end up working renovation projects rather than full scale new built projects and this is where adaptive reuse comes into play. Adaptive reuse as defined by Burchell and Listokin is “a process of revitalization that utilize a sequence of simultaneous methods of planning, making inventory, acquiring, managing and reusing surplus of abandoned real estate .” But more than that, adaptive reuse has economical, historical

Toronto in 1915, was undergoing many changes from the previous century and developing into a city with a future of becoming a global phenomenon. Toronto, is known for its buildings, culture and history. However, these buildings, culture, and history did not come from nowhere. These came from the actions of the predecessors who wanted to develop Toronto into a marvel that shows its history within the walls of several buildings. The buildings that I visited, showed the history that was presented within the novel. Although, some did change in their appearance, and others in their function. I was able to understand their importance in the past and the present. At the corner of King and Bay, was the Toronto Telegram building. However, today it now

At the WPA Event on March 8th, Cate Thurston shared her research and analysis of the Los Angeles Broadway Corridor with historians, scholars, and Cal State L.A. students. Her paper discussed the redevelopment of the Broadway Corridor and other parts of Downtown Los Angeles and why redevelopment was an important factor for various people such as Ira Yellin, the Community Redevelopment Agency of Los Angeles, and Councilmember Jose Huizar. The reason why redevelopment was important for many was because the city was changing and there was a need to drive in tourists into the city. As more tourists visit Los Angeles spending increases, thus, generating money. This paper was also about why this particular neighborhood changed and why space changes

According to the LMA, the West End location offered many advantages. One of the advantages is that the location is elevated. It sits higher than the Capitol building , which shows the prestige of their idol Robert E. Lee. This site was also built on the area where Richmond was slowly expanding its city limits too. The LMA also noted that this area if annexed by Richmond would accumulate around $4,000 more in tax revenue. This played a major factor in Richmond’s government being in favor of the monument’s location. However, the LMA needed a few more years to finish the construction of the monument and needed to make sure they would secure the site. Finally, on October 27, 1887, a parade filled with former Confederates headed west from downtown to conduct a cornerstone dedicatory ceremony at the intended site . The creation of this site made Monument Ave a site where people flocked too. Between 1900-1925 people who owned land in the area began to expect great capital from selling property or building their own houses. This gave the street an extra ramp up in popularity. But in years to come, the contents of this street would become highly controversial.

The influence of historical aspects of the built environment on contemporary infrastructure can be recognised throughout the world today. The range of these built environment aspects that were created and have continued to exist to the present, indicate the importance of development throughout these times to create modern technologies. This influence can be seen through design elements such as bridges, buildings, roads, highways and even recreational spaces in the modern world. A specific example of this influential development is the Port of Massalia, which existed in the northwestern part of the Mediterranean Sea (Ancient Worlds LLC, 2013). This essay will discuss and analyse the use of history in contemporary urban forms with a strong emphasis on the Port of Massilia in comparison with the Port of Brisbane, whilst providing evidence on the similarities and differences of these historical and contemporary designs.

The Victorian Trades Hall was built over the course of many years from its initial construction in 1856 to the addition of a multi storey extension in 1961 . It was first constructed as a ‘People’s Palace’, a monument to commemorate the successful Eight Hour Day movement led by Victorian artisans in 1856, and was financed and built by labourers with local materials . The first Trades Hall building was a modest timber structure with galvanised iron roofing located on donated land on the corner of Victoria and Lygon streets . In 1874 it was rebuilt in various stages until 1925 by Joseph Reed from the architectural firm Reed and Barnes. During this period, the impressive classical façade on Lygon street was designed.

P4) Illustrate the different levels of refurbishment interventions that Eezee-Export. Net can employ to retain and refurbish the existing 1970’s building.

The Panopticon was built in 1857 on the site of an old warehouse by the partnership of little-known architect Thomas Gildard and his brother-in-law H.M. McFarlane. The building, which was born as a music hall and can be counted among the first to get electricity in Glasgow, became one of the earliest establishments to be put into moving picture. It also housed freak shows, carnivals, waxworks and even an indoor zoo attracting a diverse audience. It came to be called a “people’s theatre” in the hands of its most notable owner A.E. Pickard - a notorious business man, millionaire and quite the eccentric person.

Using the quote by Habermas as a starting point, select up to two buildings designed in the twentieth century and examine what ‘sudden, shocking encounters’ they have encountered, or created. Analyse the building’s meanings as a demonstration of an avant-garde, or potentially arriere-garde, position.

Today technology allows us to construct structures that we would never have been able to make in the past. Some of the creations are impressive based on what they accomplish but others are masterpieces in themselves. Man’s capability to build such tall buildings, as the skyscrapers we are familiar with covering our cities today, is a major expression of the advancements we have made as a culture. The power necessary to build such tall structures inspired competition between architects to see who could build the tallest one. One skyscraper that has inspired many and served as a model, for high rise buildings that were created after, is the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building serves as an identifying mark to anyone that
