Courtyards

Matthew’s narrative is definitely more similar to Mark’s than Luke’s. Overall, Matthew’s gospel takes 90% of the same material as Mark’s gospel. In Matthew, Peter follows Jesus just as he did in Mark and remains in the courtyard around the fire. Matthew mentions that Peter remains in the courtyard “to see how this would end” (Matthew 26: 58). Unlike in Mark where the disciples completely misunderstood Jesus, in Matthew, they understand but are greatly distressed because they know what is coming.…

Living in an ancient roman villa was the equivalent to going to a five star hotel. Only elite wealthy Romans lived in a villa. It was a lavish country home located in the surrounding hills of Rome. The purpose of a villa was to escape the chaos of the city. The majority of the homes were in excess of 9,000 square feet. These extraordinary homes were of the highest quality and extravagantly decorated. “The villa, on its face, seems to be the simplest of Roman domestic buildings to understand”…

project in which I collected soil and water samples, observed shadow patterns, and researched the plant and animal life in the school courtyard. My results indicated what new plant species and soil should be introduced to help the ecosystem. The research along with the field and lab work led the school to actually provide the resources necessary to better the courtyards ecosystem. Now, a year later, I’ve started a proposal for a recycling system in my high school. Based off of my experience…

In comparison to the rest of Europe, Spain’s Renaissance is quite extraordinary. This is because Spain was not a unified nation until the late fifteenth-century. Historians attribute many factors to the unification of Spain including, “the conquest of Granada, the expulsion of the Jews, and the publication of the first grammar of the Castilian language [; which] all occurred in 1492.” Due to its late unification, Spain was not immediately influenced by ideas popular during the Italian…

evolved from the traditional hypostyle plan that was used widely in the Muslim world. Early mosques had rectangular structures with flat roofs raised by arcades and joined by courtyard with a fountain. The Madrasas were very similar to the ones in the Selcukian period and organized in iwans with vaulted roofs and courtyards. Later the horizontal plan was changed to vertical structure rising to the sky, which started with the use of the domed roof, sometimes arranged in a number of small domes…

According to Ray Oldenburg, American urban sociologist, places can be divided on three categories. The first one is the home, the second one is the workplace, and the third is a place which exists on neutral ground and aims towards social equality (Oldenburg, p. 163). In the middle of the city of Jönköping between Södra Strandgatan and Smedjegatan, lies the inner garden of Borgmästargränd 5, a third place. The aim of this essay is to describe and analyze the inner garden based on the American…

Throughout modern history, McKim, Mead, and White’s Boston Public Library has existed as a recognizable architectural landmark and therefore, as an integral part of the Boston cityscape. However, the library is just one of many buildings from the era in the area and is by no means the most significant to the nation’s history, forcing the question of why the building is so very iconic. The justification can be found when the structure is dissected into a handful of key spaces. Through its innate…
