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 design needs to reflect the designs of either a well-known architect or era of architecture. The American Radiator Building (also known as The American Standard Building) was built in Manhattan, New York City in 1924.…

Prescription Wiley-X glasses are available with a patented removable foam facial cavity seal. This seal effectively converts a pair of glasses into goggles in that it seals the eyes from wind, dust, debris, and peripheral light. Unlike goggles, you can quickly convert them back into normal glasses, and they're much more stylish. These glasses are also ANSI Z87.2 safety approved, which means they pass the same toughness requirements as safety glasses. They are incredibly versatile in that you…

for being a blacksmith of the gods. In order to understand Hephaestus, you have to first understand his stories, what he’s the god of, and what he’s made. Furthermore, Hephaestus is the god of fire. He is also the god of forges, sculptures, stone masonry, and metalworking. Since he is a god of fire and metalworking, he acts as a blacksmith for the gods. Hephaestus is the god behind many of the gods’ genius inventions. He has also made armor and weapons for heroes and guards. He is the father of…

conquests brought an end to the Byzantine Empire, which itself comprised the eastern remnants of the Roman Empire. So yes, we’re talking a long, long time ago. The Sinagua culture is known for its art--petroglyphs, pottery and basketry--as well as its masonry. Midway between Phoenix and Sedona, we stop at the Montezuma Castle. The Castle is one of the best-preserved cliff dwellings in North America. My wife compared it to a pre-historic high-rise: five-stories of stone and mortar that contain 20…

to know when reading the story. From beginning to the end of the story, the feeling of the narrator isn’t necessarily pointed out but in the end, the readers are left questioning. The narrator’s feelings are stated in the text, “Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!”(page 64).…

The ancient site of Pompeii has not been perfectly preserved like an insect in amber as the general public believes. Not only did the volcanic eruption of 79 AD that buried the city cause damage, but tunneling, robbing, war, natural disasters, excavations, and tourism have since caused a lot of damage to the city. What stands today of Pompeii is ruins of what once was. Thus, building an amusement park near the site could increase safety for visitors, increase revenue for restoration efforts…

Unfortunately, Montresor binds Fortunato in chains, then carefully bricks up the opening and follows by saying "Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!" (Poe 8). In general, Montresor was reflecting on the fact that he was able to pre-meditate this murder with out anyone ever knowing…

built in 1939 or earlier. Furthermore, more than half of the pre-1940 historic buildings are one or two family type houses. The Greening NYC’s historic buildings manual by the Municipal Art Society of New York (MAS) stated in their report that solid masonry walls such as layered brick walls in historic buildings ‘’were rarely insulated.’’ At the time, insulation was not required in building envelopes. As a result, most of the one or two family houses in NYC, including the ones with thick brick…

The cavern displays the Inca’s excellent masonry work. The walls are perfectly aligned and carved in stone. It was thought to house the mummified corpses of the most elite members of the Inca aristocracy. An adjacent building still has an early drain and sewage system. This leads people to believe…

QUESTION 1 Name and discuss three major cultural changes or contributions to the humanities that occurred between the Paleolithic (Old Stone Age) to the Neolithic (New Stone Age) period (wall paintings, architecture, literature, technology). Between the Paleolithic Age and Neolithic Age, wall paintings were a major cultural change to humanities. Paleolithic life comes largely from paintings found in caves. Most of these paintings were naturalistic. For example, ‘many of the animals-bison,…
