Farewell My Concubine

developed in the 1900's under the hands of three different architects. The founder and the creator of the Bauhaus was Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer took the lead after Walter from 1928 to 1930, the school was then closed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe when he was pressurized by the Nazi directed government. However closing the school didn't stop the staff from pursuing their job and spreading the school's idealistic perceptions of how…

A commercial cooking school I designed on a natural hill site has very strong links to the style of organic architecture with natural materials used and the building itself almost growing out of the site, working with it instead of against it. My design not only has these links to the organic architecture style present throughout the modernist era, but also shows links to the linearity seen in hundreds of modernist buildings, and those that fit into both these…

My aim is to come up with a design that meets the brief as well as satisfies both artistic and practical aspects. Design a 1 bedroom eco-lodge. The cliens are a young couple who are environmentally consious and artistic. The area is a rectangular shaped block of 12m x 6m.

The American Radiator Building (also known as The American Standard Building) was built in Manhattan, New York City in 1924.…

Modernism is an art movement that first awakened during the mid-eighteenth century and continued into the early twentieth century.

By doing so they started to influence society with what could be classed as an abstract art form. Nevertheless, an art form that responded best to a new modern society. Charles Harrison (1997 p.6) describes the term…

slammed me against the locker. Pain spread through my body like wildfire. “Give it to me or you’ll suffer more than this,” he gritted through his teeth. “I don’t have it,” I managed to get through. A punch to the stomach. So much for standing up to bullies. After thirty seconds or so in pain, I stood up, thrusted my hand into my pocket and shoved a $4 bill into his chest. “Next time, don’t try to be so brave,” he breathed. And he walked away clutching my money in his hand. Everybody knew that…

speak up. I learned this lesson the hard way. Unfortunately throughout my time in middle school, I was chronically bullied, especially during my 8th grade year. The offenses would be both verbal physical. Bullies would often tell me how ugly they thought I was, and would literally kick my butt.
