The Grand Tour Is A Rite Of Passage Or Coming Of Age Tradition

A lifetime is divided by many years, years into days, days into hours, and hours into minutes. But out of these minutes, some stand out the most making our most memorable of our memories. Whether you felt joy, anger, or sadness, it is the way that we felt at that second what makes us remember that moment and what made us change from who we were. It is an experience where you know you can’t go back. In the following passage, I will talk about my rite of passage.

Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Every great architecture is-necessarily-a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.” In other words, movements of architecture become movements because of individuals who fabricate their own new styles. Wright states this by saying every architecture reflects his/her time period with originality.Throughout history there have been many great architectures who have worked in many different styles of architecture, such as Gothic, Byzantine, Craftsmen, and Prairie. Many architectural styles such as Romanesque and Gothic went from being a style of architecture to defining a whole period in history. For example, the Craftsmen style of architecture, which originated from the Arts and Crafts movement, went on to define that time in history. Frank Lloyd Wright and the Greene brothers both have exquisite styles of architecture with many similarities and differences in which they pioneered themselves. Wright and the Greene brothers both share similar ideals of architecture in which can be found in their different styles today.

Watching the news is a rite of passage for any newly crowned adult. It’s a sign to you and everyone you know that you’re a grown up god dammit, you keep up with what’s going on in the world.

The Philadelphia Centennial of 1876 is the origin starting point for a rebirth of the colonial architectural heritage of America and the early English and Dutch houses of the Atlantic seaboard. The increasing popularity of colonial influences on contemporary architecture motivated a highly publicized tour of a group of architects in 1877 who observed and recorded Georgian and Federal houses of New England. The simplicity of colonial designs and honest use of materials with more economical plans than the recently popular picturesque homes also contributed to the growing popularity of the style. Even a century after “modern” architecture was introduced, Colonial Revival motifs continue to be popular in new construction. These homes got their

You’ll learn that the name “City Year” reflects this vision of service as a common experience. Just as the terms freshman year, sophomore year, junior year and senior year are immediately recognizable steps on a young person’s path, the organization’s name is based on the idea that a “City Year” or other year of service will become a rite of passage. When it comes to making an impact in the lives of the students and communities we serve, we wouldn’t be able to do it without the dedication and devotion of our corps members. As a City Year AmeriCorps member, you'll spend 11 months serving hands-on with students, supporting them both inside and outside of the classroom. You will play a pivotal role in helping them reach graduation and beyond.

Dave Eggers’ “Another” and Ernest Hemingway’s “An African Story” both tell tales of coming of age through journeys. In Eggers’ story, the middle aged protagonist is on a trip in Egypt. He goes against the advice of his government and leaves his comfort zone to go through new experiences. In Hemingway’s narrative, the young main character David goes on an elephant hunt with his father and a friend, Juma, and witnesses the death of an elephant; as a result he feels as though he understands it, that he has bonded with it. The stories’ similarities show coming of age through death and adventure, however, growth for the characters come at different ages and with opposing perspectives on the outcomes of their adventures.

When I considered a building that reminded me of classical architecture, the first one to come to mind was the First Bank of the United States in Philadelphia, PA, the oldest bank building in the United States. Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, proposed the idea of a national bank and Samuel Blodget Jr. was the architect behind the design. Blodget wanted the building to be reminiscent of an Ancient Greek style. The bank was chartered for twenty years and construction on the bank took approximately two years from 1795-1797. At the time, the First Bank of the United States was designed to be significantly larger than the other building around so that it would manifest a message of strength and power. The First Bank of

After reading the article by Nuñez and Pfeffer, I learned that over 1.8 billion youth people practice several types of traditions: celebrations, faithfulness to their religion, and rituals as symbolism of either manhood/womanhood, maturity stage, or strength. I believe some cultures created their ceremonies to mark “coming-of age” due to changes in the women's and men’s bodies (puberty). I believe cultures are honoring and accepting the young people in their families and society for all the hard work and accomplishments. For Hispanic coming of age tradition, it’s a chapter in part of the Hispanic women’s life as representation of their maturity, womanhood, and opportunity to be gratitude towards God. Once entering into womanhood/manhood, young people change their personality and their attitudes compared to when the young people were 4 year olds. Therefore, their society and family celebrate these old customs as a gratification of their coming of age.

The rite of passage that is most significant to me is doing what you want to do and not what other people want you to do. It is the rite of passage because in the story “The Setting Sun and the Rolling World“ it states how, Nhamo wanted to pursue his dream but his father Old Musoni didn’t want him to leave the farm. Not having to rely on other people is my second rite of passage of this story because it helps the person to be more mature and grown up. The story sights Old Musoni :”You haven’t changed your mind?” Nhamo: “No, father.”

Many architectural and urban forms and elements that we witness today are largely influenced by how buildings were design and laid in Rome. Not only in terms of its external design that brought upon important messages but the design of interiors and the significance of spatial arrangement of spaces exist within them has created the sense of physical experience in the buildings as well.
