overlooked by our capital. The kelp that we are producing has contracted a deadly disease that puts the population and our community in harms way. Due to the famine we are experiencing everyone will be given three choices. 1) Find resources outside the dome, other than the kelp which can help give you the nutrients that your body needs. 2) Conspire ways which can help purify the kelp; trial and error. 3) Eat the kelp and slowly watch yourself die, Kelp is a form of algae or seaweed that…

Have you ever wondered how people before you created structures without the materials we have today? The Renaissance was the perfect era to prove to the world they could build anything any other society could build and better. Filippo Brunelleschi's duome was created without the materials the Romans had but it is still strong and standing.

suited to the design aesthetics of the time. In addition, being an inner room required that smaller columns were used. The Pantheon with its revolutionary circular building and dome were and still are considered an architectural marvel as the dome was built with no support and remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world. It is thought that as a result of the Pantheon being kept in use through the ages – from medieval, through renaissance to modern times – it remains intact and…

In Filippo Brunelleschi’s Dome of Florence cathedral, completed in 1436, Brunelleschi created a unique two-layer large barrel vault. Since a freestanding dome had never been attempted before, Brunelleschi not only had to devise a sketch of the dome, but also had to create all of the tools that would be necessary to produce it. Through his successful completion of the dome, Brunelleschi created a piece of architecture that was both functional and beautiful. This dome served as a means to bring…

The Roman Pantheon and the Mausoleum of the Samanids The two artifacts that I choose to do are The Pantheon in Rome Italy 118 – 125 CE, and the Mausoleum of the Samanids, Bukhara, Uzbekistan of the early 10th century.

The pantheon in Rome Italy was the main temple for all the Gods and also one of the best preserved of its time. The person who designed it ids unknown…

Although the Romans built bridges, roads, and some incredible public buildings and stadiums, one of the most incredible features of engineering that the Romans achieved was the building of the aqueducts. Between 312 B.C and 226 A.D, the Romans had constructed 11 major aqueducts throughout the city. Aqueducts were navigable channels of water supply that transported water over long distances from “stable and pure mountain springs” and then distributed throughout the city (Humphrey, 46). Most…
