The Architecture Of The Golden Temple

From my observation at the Met, this sculpture is inside a medium glass and space. Also, it is by itself in the glass. It is a three-dimensional sculpture created by modeling and merging hard materials. Next to it there are other deities (Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesh etc.) and sculptors from the Chola Dynasty. The other works near it complements the sculpture as I have stated above they are from the same time period so, they are related to each other some way and

Bihzad places strong emphasis on the complexity of the palace’s architecture which he has adorned with colorful ornaments and emblazoned with gold. Each room is decorated with rugs and tiles featuring complex floral and asymmetrical patterns that cover each chamber from floor to ceiling. The palace appears to be three stories tall and features a balcony on the left and a zigzagging staircase on the right. The asymmetrical style of these two architectural features gives the impression of the work

Pantheon located in Rome, Italy is the most well conserved architectural structure of the Roman period. Pantheon, initially a roman sanctuary worked to committed to every one of the divine beings, however in 609AD., it was transformed into a congregation and stays as it. Initially worked by Agrippa around 27BC under Augustus' lead however it was caught fire during 80D, under Emperor Domitian's care then build it again, yet was struck by lightning and burned down again in 110AD. The present Pantheon was worked in 120AD and finished by Emperor Hadrian alongside Apollodorus of Damascus. (Hannah and Magli 2011)

Shahzia Skinder, a critically praise Asian American artists, whose contemporary paintings and murals combine the traditional art of Indo-Persian Miniature painting, and her own life experience into the rich and colorful layers of her works. I have found her art to be breathtakingly beautiful and meticulously stylized. Her elaborate and vivid compositions, using miniature art and symbols from India and Pakistan help me connect with aspects of Hindu and Miuslim mythology and the history between the two countries that I had not thought of for a long while now.

Ever since man began building structures and settling land, art has manifested itself in our architectural creations. Whether it be to celebrate or worship a God or Gods, a grand sculpture to bury a powerful leader or remember them by, or to show a culture’s dedication to specific values, our architectural constructions have led to some of the finest art this Earth has ever seen. The Taj Mahal and Palace of Versailles are two great examples of such art. By examining each of these individually, and then comparing and contrasting them, it will become clear that no matter how different looking these buildings may be, they still serve the same purpose to the civilizations that erected them.

The monument is a symbol of respect to the people showing the history of the Genocide and raising the awareness around it. We did not have a target audience as the memorial is for both people part of the genocide as well as people who want to learn about it. The pathway is lined with birch trees on either side with white tulips in front of it. These trees show the strict control the soldiers had as they marched the prisoners to be executed, surrounded with no way out. To the left of the pathway is a white building with the Armenian flag embroidered on the floor. This is to symbol patriotism and give the emotion of remorse to the people affected by the genocide. People can pay a small fee to have their names engraved onto the stones. Outside the main building is a garden with the flowers planted in order of the flag. The waterfalls compliment the flowers and the walkway to give an emotion of peace and hope before entering the building. The first one in the garden shows “never ending tears” with the lasting effect the genocide has had on people. This is used as a prayer area for people looking to be at peace with the past. The pathway going inside memorial symbolizes the long marches that the captured civilians would take heading into the prisons. Inside the building after walking down the hallway you see straight ahead the Armenian flag spanning the wall. This is shown as a

First, the outside temple 's architecture features many things. For example, a half shaped golden sphere, which sat in the center of the temple. It was made of several rectangle parts put together like a jigsaw puzzle to form a pregnant woman belly. The gold dome was elegant and shiny. So bright that Japan residents are blind by the glow. Next, the temple 's stone and marble combination were brilliant together. The stone wall a pale pink with a smooth texture like a baby 's bottom. The caramel

: The structures that make up the Temple of Heaven are meant to signify the relationship between heaven and earth, more importantly the connection between the emperors and God. The through in It was believed that offerings made by the emperor to the Gods, would bring a flourishing harvests, as he was believed to be the closest being to god. The structure itself was built so majestically to represent it descending into heaven. The main ceremonies that were held within the hall were all on the basis of worshipping heaven and so it was believed by doing so, it would be seen as favorable to the gods, enough to be blessed with an abundance supply of harvests such as grain. The ceremonial interior of the hall was built in such a way as to emphasize

Greek and Roman temples are the most influential temples of all times. It is argued that the Greek influenced the Romans and this may be the reason why their temples are so alike. The Parthenon and the Pantheon are the most popular temples of both eras. However, the Pantheon does not look like other roman temples would to Greek temples – and this is because it has interior space and thus has a completely different composition. Despite their quite similar looks, Roman and Greek temples have unique differences in material, method, purpose, and others.

The Early Classical Greek Temple of Hera II from Paestum, Italy, built circa 460 BCE, has influenced many works, such as the Carolingian Palatine Chapel built by Odo of Metz in Aachen, Germany from 792-805 BCE under command of the patron, Charlemagne. The Second Temple of Hera is one of the most studied Greek temples since it is in such good condition and has so much to offer historians. The Palatine Chapel, highly inspired by ancient Greek architectural design, was closely supervised by Charlemagne as his personal project, and built by Odo of Metz. The Temple of Hera II and the Palatine Chapel are similar due to the influence ancient Greek works had on later European art, such as the Carolingian period. Art from these periods influenced the important aspects of art seen today.

Il Pantheon (Pantheon) “pan” means all, “theon” means God. It is a preserved intact Roman Empire building, located in the centre of Rome, Italy. It was built in 27-25 BC by Marcus Agrippa, and Emperor Hadrian rebuilt it in 125 AD.

A large pile of ancient stone is no different than a giant stack of old stone, right? To look closely into an argument, sometimes a zoomed-out perspective is needed. In this case, its important to look at every detail to find out if the construction of pyramids and cathedrals were similar or different. On one hand, there are the ancient Egyptian pyramids, construced under the authority of the pharoahs through the use of many laboring workers. On the other, there are gothic cathedrals, built over a long period of time, employing several construction methods. Through the analysis of historical accounts and evidence, it is apparent that the similarities between the Great Pyramids and gothic cathedrals greatly endorse the use of techonological systems as fuel for societies that are constantly improving.

Around the inside of the building were candles, incense, and different statues of what I'm sure were a multitude of separate Hindu deities. Of course, being relatively new to the Hindu gods and goddesses, I wasn't able to identify too many, but I did recognize the remover of obstacles, Ganesh—for what I figure is one rather obvious reason. I could only assume other popular divine figures including lord Vishnu and the mother goddess Devi resided with these other statues.

The Taj Mahal, or “crown of palaces,” was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1632 to be built in Agra, India, on the bank of the Yamuna River (“Taj Mahal Facts” 1). Shah Jahan married Arjumand Banu Begum in 1612, and she was his third wife. However, Shah Jahan quickly took to her beautiful looks and charming personality and dubbed her Mumtaz Mahal, meaning “Chosen One of the Palace” (“The Taj Mahal” 1). Being his favorite wife and faithful companion, Mahal and Jahan traveled together frequently and came to have many children. During the birth of their fourteenth child, however, Mumtaz Mahal tragically died. To commemorate his love for her, Jahan ordered the greatest mausoleum of all time to be built in her honor: the Taj Mahal (“History of Taj Mahal” 1).
