handshake/dance move, Montresor revealed the trowel that he had in his cloak. He to Fortunato that he too was part of the Mason brotherhood. He said this to Fortunato to explain why he had the a trowel with him in his cloak. But, his plan with the Masonry trowel was a lot different than what that is intended for it.

The Maya middle preclassic period began around 1000 BC. During this same time in other parts of the World, David becomes king of the ancient Israelites and the Iron Age begins for much of Eurasia. Across the Pacific ocean, the ancient Japanese begin to cultivate rice. Everywhere in the World cultures were thriving. This was the period of time when the roots of a complex Maya society began to steadily form and they became a more advanced people. A progression that occurred after centuries of…

the church’s interior is spacious, so is the outside spacious, as there is a small plaza outside the church’s front façade with cafes nearby. There is also a tiny park to the building’s left. However, while the surrounding buildings are of similar masonry to the church, they are not in a gothic style. There is also a building to the right of the church that is coated in glass windows, a modern architecture feature that starkly contrasts the church’s traditional…

boys. Why can't the son learns a trade from his mother and why would it has to be only his dad? This is a sexist attitude like they all have to follow the direct regulations in More's Utopia. Another example will be a girl can't learn a trade like masonry from her father. A girl has to learn a trade from the mother, like clothing and cooking.…

architecture was generally considered as the first unified, self-contained, and independent style of Medieval Europe. Eric Fernie (2006) stated that; in 1819, William Gunn first applied the term 'Romanesque' to architecture, the term was used for all the masonry buildings of the Western Europe…

simulation, the existing window to wall ratio of the building is 13.04 %. The heating load of the building is 78.9 MJ/m2 while the cooling load is 64.1 MJ/m2 (sensible) and 12.9 MJ/m2 (latent). The existing building construction is of simple brick masonry and reinforced concrete without any kind of insulation. All windows are single-glazed aluminium framed windows. It should be noted that this simulation gives us a very general idea of the building’s energy performance…

The Richardsonian Romanesque buildings were always built with heavy stone work, because he wanted to give his designs a sense of permanence, so he used the heavy masonry stonework to give him the architectural characteristics he was aiming for. Moreover, the calculated configurations of proportions, massing, and masonry gave the Richardsonian Romanesque style of architecture a visual weight to his buildings, it was as if the building was anchored to the earth. The Richardsonian Romanesque…

In Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” from 500 BCE shows us how we believe that shadows are reality, just as Stephen Crane’s “Many Workmen” writing in 1920 shows that pride can blind us to do things that can harm other people. In the same way George Orwell’s Animal Farm written in 1949 show us that greed and power can destroy a society. Plato’s, Crane’s, and Orwell’s allegories show that pride, greed, and denial of the truth can destroy a society. Pride made the society in Plato’s “Allegory of the…

In the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the various slides we have in class, I have observed Roman wall paintings, also know as frescoes. Frescoes also can be made in four different styles, each with their own unique qualities. A fresco is a painting done directly on a wall inside of a Roman building and are used to capture a moment in time, show off or imitate wealth, and show their love of the gods. These three uses of frescoes are also three of the main characteristics of Roman culture. After…
