What Are The Similarities Between The Bank Of England Vs. The Altes Museum

In this paper, I will address the Farrows bank, and the many issues that were involved with the running of it. I will address Thomas’ Managerial Hubris, ethical decision and the Managerial Hubris, the pressures of making an ethical decision in the Farrow bank, and finally if the bank had an ethical business culture would anything have changed.

The building contains Corinthian columns from ancient Greece architecture, and it contains a similar dome and pendentive as the Hagia Sophia from Byzantine architecture. The architects of the Old Stone Bank did simplify and modernize some of the features because of budgetary reasons, not having enough space, and so it could form a good balance compared to the surrounding buildings. Overall, the Old Stone Bank is a very admired and respected building in Providence due to its use of past successful architectural

Hardwick Hall is Elizabeth’s way of exhibiting her great wealth. She, by both marriage and successful business ventures, became the second richest woman in England at

Greek creators used precise mathematical calculations to establish height, width, and length of their creations. The Greeks put their hard work and effort into creating majestic public buildings as a place for men to meet and discuss politics. Pictured in Document 1 is the Parthenon, “Architecture was very important to the ancient Greeks. One of the most famous examples of Greek architecture is the Parthenon...Modern architecture is often modeled after Greek architecture.” (Document 1) Greek Architecture has influenced modern day architecture in the use of columns, statues inside of buildings, detail to symmetry and geometric proportion. “If two straight lines cut one another the vertical, or opposite, angles shall be equal.” (Document 4) Today all over the United States, you see can find buildings that are modeled after the Ancient Greek architecture. Some examples are seen in capitals of states/countries, colleges/universities, government buildings, and even some houses namely The White

Looking back to the outset of the 19th century, it is impossible to say that any real banking system had really been developed in the US. This is to say that, though there were roughly 120 private commercial banks that had been chartered by new state governments, the so-called system was scarcely organized. It was ad hoc in nature and directly linked to the merchant banking practices of the pre-independence period. The years preceding the turn of the century were important because they brought a central banking authority onto the scene. In 1789 the new federal government established a position for the Secretary of the Treasury. As we know, the first to hold this prestigious title was

Sandringham house, as the much-loved living place of royal members, has seen its many deaths: Prince Eddy (the Prince of Wales's eldest son) in 1892, Queen Alexandra in 1925, George V in 1936, and George VI in 1952. Comparing to Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Sandringham house has its special attractions to royal members for architectural style, living environment, interior or exterior decoration etc. However, this spectacular building was not the same as what it look like at present. More than 3 renowned architects were invited to design and reconstruct this house in history. As time went on and technology developed, almost all elements including style, shape, materials as well as decoration have changed. This part will introduce these variations in details with respect to period.

The Parthenon and the Pantheon are both examples of classical architecture. They share many common architectural features due to the proximity of their builders. Their differences stem largely from the cultural differences of the Greeks and Romans. Those cultural differences extend even to the present day as both sites are currently in use in different capacities.

To the architecture of Wren turned relatively late, in the thirty-third year of life, and then after repeated insistence of influential customers. This in itself testifies to a new attitude to architecture, perceived by that time as an activity requiring deep, diverse knowledge and a broad outlook. And one of the turning point in his life, which led to appeal to architecture, was the Great Fire of London in 1666.

From the observation tower the horizontal building’s three parallel bands can be seen that extend into the lush landscape. The architects’ concept was to immerse the museum in nature by creating a set of three bracketed pavilions under one roof surrounded by gardens. The roof can be seen as

In modern day architecture, we have almost simplified the way buildings look. Fourunately, ancient Greece architectural influence is still seen mostly at formal banquet halls today. The columns in entry ways, usually the capital is either doric or ionic. The interior well detailed with the use of marble as flooring, and patterns is still seen in modern day architecture. Over all, ancient Greece’s influence is easily spotted today in interior decorating with the furniture and art work.

One architectural critic, Thomas Tallmadge, did notice Sullivan's proper use of ornamentation in his bank designs and praised Sullivan for "giv[ing] the little [bank] a gemlike quality that glows" (Meyer 18). In agreement with Tallmadge, Sullivan's aesthetic brilliance in bank architecture coincided with his push for functionality because banks held the monetary treasure of society; thus, it follows suit that banks should carry a form that resembles their protection of the peoples' treasure within. Therefore, ornamentation, as Sullivan used it, contributed to the modern idea of functionality. Additionally through his unique use of ornamentation on financial buildings, Sullivan encouraged a modern repulsion to the feudal system

In the Gothic Architectural Era the English monarchy was very intrigued by new buildings . Westminster Abbey remains perhaps the most magnificently constructed building in medieval England. What began as a small monastery has now become one of the most recognized buildings in England today. Its purpose and historical significance are extremely captivating. The number and splendor of tombs and effigies is without parallel.

While a sevenfold increase in banking investment could certainly be substantial, it is hard to evaluate this number against the economic environment. For the circumstances of the time, this number could be anything from very low to extremely high, especially given that this was a rapid industrialization period and growth rate of any industry would be on a different scale from any other time period. Using a comparable, rapidly industrializing region or even a country, such as Britain or Prussia, could show how New England’s banking was developing given the particular circumstances of the time.

The Tower of London is one of the most famous and visited historic monuments in the world. For some people it conjures up images of Norman architecture and towering battlements, but most associate it with arms and armour, ravens, the Crown Jewels, Yeoman Warders, imprisonment, death and ghostly apparitions. But this does not do it justice: the history of the Tower and its buildings is a vast, fascinating and complex subject, intertwined with the history of the country of England, its government, its kings and queens, and its people and institutions. The castle's first four centuries, during the Middle Ages, saw the development of the layout of buildings that we know today and its

The beautiful city of Cambridge has an enviable reputation as one of the world’s greatest universities as well as being an agreeable place to live and work. The inhabitants enjoy low unemployment, a cluster of good schools and plenty of green spacious parkland. The river Cam provides a focal point in the summer with its flotilla of punts gliding around gentle bends overhung with lush willows. It is a city of two vibrant communities, that despite a chequered past of friction and confrontation now seem to co-exist with ease. Both the students and locals go about their business, almost independent of each other. Many scholars are completely unaware of the delights the city has to offer away from the seclusion of their learned places and locals would be hard pressed to tell you where any university building was apart from King’s College Chapel and maybe the University Library, with its huge soaring tower. Most central colleges face inward to courtyards hidden behind castle-like buildings, giving no clue to the enclosed delights (that can include a lake with huge fish). Secret and enchanting places only accessed by gatehouses guarded by porters – keepers of the portcullis. Within the city boundaries are a dense collection of architectural styles ranging from medieval, Jacobean, classical and Victorian. This city is an architectural historians paradise where examples of one style evolving into another are abundant.
