In the last several years I have developed two main areas of focus: I am interested in the history of scientific diagrams (including maps) as a combination of the history of visualization and theories of representation, as well as in the more physical spaces of science, including natural history museums, hospitals, and laboratories. Since the last years of my undergraduate degree at Rice, I have been interested in the intersections of science and architecture. I completed my BA in two major fields

Pop culture in the 1950s can be summed as culture in the 1950s. Cold war baby boomers Korea red scare. The 1950s america can be summed up as music the best fashion and the best music. People moving to suburbs and babies were being born because soldiers were returning home.After World War 2 ended, many Americans were eager to have children because they were confident that the future held nothing but peace and success. Much of this increase came from government spending: The construction of interstate

country and architecture was creating urban campuses in the suburbs. This caused most of the work force to relocate out of cities. An example of this would be buildings like Bell Labs in suburban Holmdel, NJ. It was designed by modernist architect Eero Saarinen, who is also responsible for creating suburban campuses for General Motors (Warren, MI) and IBM (Yorktown Heights, NY). This had a major effect on the culture of the 1980s. You had cities that were once major job hubs that had now changed into

chronicled references regularly brought about an absence of any genuine significance. One case of a 1960s skyscraper that stood separated from its companions is the Ford Foundation Building (1967) in New York City, composed by the successor firm to Eero Saarinen- - Kevin Roche, John Dinkeloo Associates. The Ford Foundation building is commended in design history overviews for its thoughtful and motivating utilization of inside space to mitigate the force of the run of the mill corporate office building

Global Entities such as the US democracy, have been using Architecture, more specifically urban landscape design, to portrait transparency and a united front between the government and its public. The choice of delving into this subject is due to the intriguing different aspects that have been changing as more embassies were designed/built. The two latest embassies in London , the one by the Grovesnor Square and the yet to be built embassy in the Nine Elms, show these changes very clearly, also they

Saint John the Baptist in Collegeville, MN decided it was time to expand their campus. For the project, they decided to interview a series of architectural stars at the time, such as Walter Gropius, Richard Neutra, Pietro Belluschi, Barry Byrne, Eero Saarinen, and Marcel Breuer. In the end, they chose Breuer for his personality, modesty, honesty, listening skills, and for the fact that he took their needs and wishes seriously.15 The construction of the campus started in 1953 with the addition of a new

How Architects Change the World “To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history, but to articulate it.”- Daniel Libeskind Mankind has built structures since the beginning of time and every structure which has been built throughout history has a story behind it. The reasons for building these structures are many and varied. The main reason for building a structure is out of necessity. Buildings such as the aqueducts of Rome, Windsor Castle of Medieval Europe, and the Golden Gate

Throughout the timeline of graphic design, designers have seemed to push boundaries, express passion, and create unique compositions. Alvin Lustig was born in Denver, CO in 1915. During his education days he studied at LA City college art center while working independently with Frank Lloyd Wright at his Taliesin studio. Alvin Lusig projects an overall theme of modernism within his design work. It is often that graphic design seems to repeat itself over time, but that is not the case for Alvin; his

The Hedgehog; Empirical analysis of Micro-detail Extracts showing two perspectives from Whyte’s film, The Social Life of Small urban Spaces, 1980 circa min 20. Greenacre was one of the most crowded spaces by far in Whyte’s study. ‘But In the mind’s eye’ it was not. The ‘Olympian perspective was misleading’ Whyte held in his documentary The Social Life of Small urban Spaces, as it suggested uniformity. ‘Getting down to eye level, as people see the place, you don’t see this regularity; people

The Private House in Regensburg was built in 1979, is Thomas Herzog’s own home; one can declare that he is the client and designer himself thus fulfilling his own needs or desires for the site itself, is referred to as ‘his Wohnhaus in Regensberg (1979), with its steep, ground-sweeping pitched roof, is content to get its summer shading from the tree canopy above’. (Rattenbury, et al., 2004) Throughout this essay I will analyse Thomas Herzog’s House at Regensburg explaining the commonalities of
