    Ligon's Analysis

    More disheartening, Ligon suggests specific rations of clothing and food for plantation slaves. Ligon goes so far as to include an example balance sheet of expenses dictating the annual allotment per slave based on gender . Ligon also writes in great depth to describe living conditions, eating habits, and the materialistic elements of life for the colonists in Barbados. Although the slaves were treated poorly, their limited diet, lack of clothing, and unrefined sources of shelter were better suited for the tropical climate than the colonists’ lifestyle choices.…

    Andrea Barbaro Analysis

    Man is the image of God and the proportions of his body are produced by divine will, so the proportions in architecture have to embrace and express the cosmic orders. Renaissance architects believed that a building should mirror the proportions of the human body to create order within their buildings. Andrea Palladio is an architect during this time, who furthered this idea in the design and construction of his villas. Palladio’s understanding of proportions and other scholars’ viewpoints are explained in Rudolf Wittkower’s…

    The Math Of The Ideal Villa By David Rowe Summary

    In the excerpt “the Four Books on Architecture” Palladio develops a numerical and logical system organizing spatial relationships among the elements involved in any building. This system is a guidance for architects when designing such buildings as villas and houses. As well this system includes detailed rules to be considered when an architect arranges building rooms, when he specifies the proportions of spaces, when he makes decisions about the dimensions of halls associating the height of a space with its dimensions and when he specifies the sizes of doors and windows for a room. Also, he sheds light on differences between simple spaces and elegant spaces and criteria to be considered when an architect makes decisions about whether spaces…

    Inigo Jones Queen's House Analysis

    Queen's house, designed by architect Inigo Jones was the first pure classical building in Britain and brought a revolution into the architectural scene. Inigo Jones was inspired by his travels in Italy and especially his second visit in 1613 where he visited major cities and buildings and compared theory with practice, from then on his style of architecture took a new form. I want to explore the originality of Queen's house, how much of the design came from Inigo Jones the architect and how much came from Inigo Jones the posthumous sponsor of Palladianism, as he is often referred to. Andrea Palladio is often seen as the main inspiration to building Queen's house and Jones took his treaties 'I quattro libri dell'architettura' as an architectural…

    He draws the tales from the six different paintings which seem to show the cultural, economic and political interaction between Europe, France, China, North and South America during that time. He considers the seventeenth century “the dawn of the global world” because the paintings show the interconnectedness of all factors that contribute to globalization. The paintings show the interconnectedness of the economic aspect by having the Dutch East India Company on the Delft harbor, the lady wearing the felt hat and even the Chinese porcelain and Turkish rag. The very same items also show the spread of culture among the said nations. He also shows how two different cultures used the same commodity; cigarettes were smoked in a commonplace among the Europeans yet in China they were preserved for the elite.…
