Skyscraper

Think of the city of Sao Paulo as the Brazilian Big Apple, only sweeter. With 15 million people, Sao Paulo rates as the third largest city in the world, complete with all the problems of an ever-burgeoning metropolis - skyscrapers, traffic jams, slums, pollution, and noise. But there is also a certain kind of charm in the residents of the city (called Paulistanos) that somehow makes these problems seem less imposing. Taxi drivers are honest {mais ou menos), waiters gracious, and shopgirls -…

This week I read The Spirit Garden by Ryan Gorrie. This article was about a bent wood structure he created for the Anishnaabe people through a combination of new and old building techniques. This reading was less about the structure he created and more about the people. Gorrie felt that it was his responsibility to make these people’s vision a reality. He talks about how architecture is actually an animate object. This doesn’t mean that it moves but rather that it creates a place, an environment…

Estate and Insurance Company, than any other in Alabama. In 1909 Jemison headed the Empire Improvement Company which developed the Empire Building. William T. Warren and William Leslie Welton were hired as the designer and architect for this early skyscraper. As well as Fredrick Larkin, who served as the contractor for the building. Welton designed the tower as well as each terra cotta block with the help of his assistant/draftsman. “Welton had studied architecture at M.I.T. and in Paris and…

the owner of the Murray Building kept the rent low and the lights on. At night, the building looked like a skeleton, its lighted windows like jagged rows of yellowed teeth. During the day, the building resembled a slab of concrete vomited by a skyscraper. It wasn't a pleasant place. The superintendent, a Mr. Karpov, worked the hallways like a prison guard, threatening individuals who “stepped out of line.” The list of possible transgressions changed with the seasons. One couldn't keep a light on…

say, and make a special bolt and see if it works out. Also if there is a problem on the job site, and it has to be fixed someone could 3D print a part that would fit and fix the problem. If there is a need for a special crane for a job site of a skyscraper or something someone could have a 3D model of a crane and send it to the crane manufacture and sell the idea to the crane manufacture and make a ton of…

This is the third attempt at writing this. I have written now about the major influences I use to interpret the world, and how we accumulate to many possessions and not enough experiences. Sadly I felt very much dissatisfied with them both. I wondered why this was. Instead now, I have chosen to write about truths. Truths, and how, whenever they are simple, we disbelieve. First, I am going to attempt to generalize how we are raised into this. When we first start asking questions, only simple…

Many, many times has Peak been selfish, but perhaps the most prominent time had been the whole skyscraper fiasco. Peak had decided to climb a skyscraper, and let’s say it wasn’t a very good day for either him or his family. He just couldn’t resist the climb of a skyscraper and just went for it, completely ignoring the possible consequences if he got caught. Then he would be arrested, his family would be in tears, and at least the whole…

Big business, economic growth and international involvement turned America into an industrial giant in the late 19th century because the railroads was one of the biggest change that happened to america. One , it made transportation easier for travelers and second, it made getting goods though place to place faster. A second thing that happened to america that changed many things in america was the way that rockefeller made the pipes for the olis all around europe and got the oil all around…
