They had intended the dome to be the glory of the cathedral. In 1418 the Florentine fathers decide to finish the cathedral by putting a dome on but they did not want to use the Gothic style then favoured by rival…

1 Introduction As Setha Low explains in “The Edge and the Center: Gated Communities and the Discourse of Urban Fear“, a spatial analysis of the city prominently brings up separations and conflicts in both the center and the edge of the city (Low 2003, 387). Globally, cities are divided into different areas, segre-gated by cultural or racial differences and tensions. It is interesting to see how cities across the planet deal with issues that result from social pres-sures, cultural contexts and…

Lots of lives were lost on both sides (source c). It caused the liberation…

generally the result of gene mutations or combinations through reproduction that provides an organism with a survival advantage. The result is these advantageous characteristics appearing recurrently in a population, eventually culminating in the fortification of a species, or perhaps the birth of an entirely new one. This birth is explained through the concept of the “tree of life” – a notion that all organisms have adapted and evolved from a single common ancestor. Ultimately, all life forms…

gives the request to fall back to the foreordained purpose of retreat called "the Alamo". This is the final turning point, and their final resort is to blow the scaffold keeping in mind the end goal to keep the Germans from picking up a vital fortification in the district. With projectiles zooming by and ricocheting in each course, Captain Miller stands up, in this way uncovering himself to adversary fire, and moves to get the gadget expected to trigger the scaffold to blast. Nonetheless,…

famously characterized by its architectural feats, which were supported by the city’s natural resource supply of stone. For example, in a period of peace in 37 B.C., Herod the Great took the city and added many magnificent buildings and imposing fortifications. In addition, the city’s religious Temples held great spiritual significance as the covenants of God and representations of Christianity to believers in the city and all over the world, especially during Biblical times. Furthermore, in the…

path to Japan, or that had helpful military supplies, such as airfields, harbors, or fortified military bases. By selectively choosing such island, the US forces were able to easily “hop” from one island to the next, with the help of the military fortifications that were either already on the islands, or that they were able to quickly build with their superior construction equipment. Island Hopping had many advantages. It gave the US the ability to ‘pick and chose’ which battles to…

• Trying to find liberty, a Jew from Poland named Haym Salomon arrived in New York. After the war had started, Saloman supported the rebel cause. • In 1776, when the British captured New York,, many patriots ran, but Saloman did not and got arrested by the British.

In this article, I will discuss the former maximum-security prison, Alcatraz prison. Alcatraz prison is located on an island in San Fransico Bay, off the coast of California. Alcatraz was visualized as a Naval Defense Fortification. In 1900, it already held a collection of prisoners, some American people, and some people from other places that had different cultural beliefs. In 1907, the island was designated the Pacific Branch of the United States Military Prison, and the building that we see…
