The North Gower Coast

(MIA) The roofs are separated into four sections on both rooftops. On the square latrine roofs there are four triangles. While on the rectangular latrine there are two triangles and two trapezoids for the rooftops shape. I find that this adds to the depth of the roof giving this piece great detail. One can see this not just in the structure, but also in the details of the animals found in the pigsty model. For starters when looking around there are seven animals total. They are a boar or male pig, a dog, a sow who is feeding her three young piglets, and finally a bird. (MIA) In this particular model each animal is found doing something known for what that animal does in real life. For example the boar is outside the pen eating slop by himself out of a bowl. While the dog is above the boar on the walkway lazily sleeping his day away in what could be the hot sun. As one moves along within the piece and looks inside the pen one can see a sow that is really doing the most work in this model for she is feeding her three young piglets right in the middle of the pen. This is okay because her and the piglets are the only four in the pen causing a feeling of calm to the person looking at the work. Finally we move our eyes up and see a nest with a bird in it. This bird seems to be stretching his wings or cleaning them minding its own business. All these individual details make up one

Walking from downtown Salisbury, one finds him or herself approaching the cathedral from the northeast at an oblique angle. Although there is one sidewalk that approaches the façade straight on, all other paths lead to the building at some sort of oblique angle, giving the building a sense of plasticity or three-dimensionality. This concept of plasticity and approaching the building at and angle dates back to the Greeks, and causes the viewer to think more about the form and scale of the building than if they were to approach the structure from a 90 degree angle. In contrast, if one were to approach the cathedral from the west, he or she will notice the planar west façade and its horizontality, which clearly resembles the screen-type façade seen at Wells Cathedral. In both Salisbury and Wells Cathedrals, the west facades

The building is four stories high made of brick, tile, and concrete. The east façade also has Classical features such as a frieze, dentils, cornice, raking cornice, entablature and an architrave. The front of the façade was adorned with floral coffers, corbels, as well as post and lintels (Photo 2).

They wore cedar bark clothes and it protected them from wet weather. Women wove basket hats and they were used for carrying fruits and vegetables to prepare a meal. It had a soft inner core. It was a waterproof hat and coat. It was easy to carry things on the top of their

The architect's choice of material for the Fisher House is cypress wood set on top of a quarry stone platform. Use of cypress wood and lack of ornamental decorations throughout the building accentuates the cubical and geometrical features of the house. The large windows, window bays and the vertical slits on the facade create the impression of depth and massiveness of the walls, though not true, they add to the stability and sense of balance of the structure. With the passing of time and aging of the building the color of cypress wood changes and this is reminiscent of Kahn's belief that a building must carry its scars. (Figures 5 and 6)

Even though your series Chesapeake Shores has come to an end as far as a book series goes, will you ever consider writing any more books in that series?

Slide 3: Thesis While the report serves as an updated version to Ash Lawn-Highland’s Historic Structures Report, it examines in detail the architectural and historical aspects of the structure, which also provides a full account of the structure’s repairs and proposed work.

One longitudinal façade consists almost entirely of glass, while the parallel side has punctured window openings. The architect strategically uses these design features to help incorporate innovative, environmental site strategies.

I want to take a few minutes to empty my brain of all things regarding a place I hold very dear to my heart. I’ve traveled a fair amount for the short time I’ve spent on this earth. I’ve been to Spain, France, Jamaica, Canada and all along the eastern coast of the United States, but one of my favorite places to be was a mere four minutes away from my house. Hallowell is a small town of just over 2,000 people in Central Maine. The overwhelming quantity of memories I’ve made there multiplies the infectious positivity that radiates from Hallowell, and has played a major role in who I have become. Of the people I’ve encountered here in New York, people have a preconceived belief that Maine shouldn’t ever be a topic of conversation, because there’s nothing there to even talk about. They are extremely mistaken. Whenever possible, I do whatever I can to show people Maine is an amazing place to live, as well as a place to put on their bucket list of visits.

The materials included; limestone and marble, which were locally available though some marble was imported, wood was available from the forest, and stucco was also, used which was made from varying pieces of lime and water. From this, it is clear that every material was obtained locally, and manual work was greatly applied. It could shock to know that the building was strong even with the use of manual work in construction. It was built the ordinary way of placing the limestone one after the other and may be adding a coat of stucco, which was simple to believe it could result in such a strong

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.

The quote above shows the importance of the waterfront in shaping the city’s image. Therefore, there is indeed the need to upgrade the waterfront in order to attract people to go there and this also can contribute to the economy as well through a tourism industry.

The harbour of Heimaey, along the south coast of Iceland is a small town named Vestmannaeyjar with a population of 5400 people. Vestmannaeyjar provides some the of the best fishing areas in the North Atlantic. A loss of this fishing harbour would see a fall in Iceland’s economy (Bullard, 1977). Until mid-January in 1973 the island of Heimaey was considered to be volcanically inactive. The last known eruption of Helgafell was inferred to be 5000 – 6000 years ago. (Bullard, 1977) there was no real warning of Helgafell erupting other than two swarms of earthquakes which began on 21 January 1973 and on 22 January a gale of wind which has raged and left 70 ships in the harbour seeking shelter. The Eruption started in the early morning of 23 January 1973 from a 1600 meter long fissure. The fissure was located 200 meters to the East of the town. The lava flowed away from the town due to favourable morphological conditions. Due to favourable conditions such as the wind blowing west, pyroclastics ejected from the fissure were redirected away from the town. These conditions contributed to the safety of the residents as they were evacuated from the town to safer locations via the stranded ships. (Kolbl, 29 June 1996)

The entryways of the building come from four different sides and meet in the middle. The overall shape of the building creates different views and facades. The building was not created just on the looks of it; it is made up of a three dimensional, stimulating, tactile human thing.

Centered in the house is a ramp that takes you on a journey from the underbelly of the house on the ground floor to the main body on the first floor and then on to a roof garden. Throughout the house views of the surrounding nature are framed, your mind is free marvel, as the forms evoke a sense of exploration and delight. Villa Savoye is better experienced than viewed through an image, only then can you understand the greater meaning and purpose that informs its beauty. One might argue that this is not beautiful architecture and a poor example, however upon visiting this house you cannot deny that the house is beautiful in its own right, evoking a response from the occupant. Le Corbusier’s masterpiece is moving; therefore achieving what he believed architecture to be about. This experience and the emotion that is felt can only be described in words. Shapes play a big role in the architecture but clearly the meanings behind are more important.
