Casa das Canoas, is a wonderful product of Niemeyer's experience, promotes freedom, modernism, and indulgence in all its aspect. The representation of the building is provided by big concrete slabs, and a hiding away for a little floor. The curved shapes of the hill which match its curvilinear roof slabs and the rich forest that surrounds the house. Its roof is braced on thin steel pillars, this way it will not need the walls to supported it. The feeling of complete freedom is achieved on the…

Italian novelist, Dino Buzzati, in his story, “Seven Floors,” describes the struggles a man, Giovanni Corte, has with his slight illness in a sanatorium. According to the story, the seven floors of the sanatorium are separated based on the “gravity of their state;” the seventh floor is for the extremely mild cases while the first floor are for the casses the doctors can’t fix. Self-serving bias, described in module four, is defined as the tendency to perceive oneself favorably. The story begins…

"Mason are you here for therapy?" requested Dr. Stiner, as he casually moved towards Mason, who was in the shadow of building half way into the night. The moon was high in the sky, creating small shadows in which Mason hid. Mason only nodded in response. "Follow me towards the movie theater," uttered Dr. Stiner. He proceeded to jaunt towards the theater with Mason close behind. The way Mason paced himself only made it seem like he was having a struggle keeping up with the doctor. The walk lasted…

When analyzing the Red House (I 860) by William Morris and Phillip Webb in London and the Stahl llouse (I960) by Pierre Koenig, the two designs focused on symmetry in addition to a repetition of rectangular geometries. Although these houses were designed about 100 years apart they are very similar in plan. They are designed in an “L” shape. focusing on the right angles. In comparison to the Red House. the Stahl House has more refined geometries but is still designed on the basic principles that…

I loved walking up to the museum, I felt excited just from seeing all the interesting landscape outside. Seeing the fountain with its unique design and it looked like it had lights so at night you could see it. I remember the front door being locked and we had to use a side entrance which I thought was kinda weird. Then once I got inside I found out an artist was making a very unique design at the entrance. He was taking books and hanging them from a frame bolted to the ceiling. Each book…

Think Piece #4 Wordcount: A few months ago my mother and I took a trip to St Augustine and while we were there saw many beautiful buildings. My favorite in particular was the Hotel Ponce de León now known as Flagler College. Built in 1888 by Henry Flagler it was used as a hotel until 1967 and then turned into Flagler College. This beautifully intricate building is made of sand, coquina shell gravel, and cement. The building itself is a gray…

1. What does your best-self portrait look like? What does your developmental self-portrait look like? What examples and stories best illustrated each? After receiving feedback from the people who have observed me in a leadership position, it is clear to me my best-self portrait is a leader who leads by example, takes initiative and is very reliable. A large majority of my friend’s and family’s responses centered around the idea that my hard work ethnic inspires them to follow my lead and try…

The facts in this case you are taking over a clinic that needs a new organizational structure. The administrator is responsible for addressing any organizational issues. An organizational structure sets the rules and policies in place for the organization. If there is an organizational structure in place right now in this clinic then current employees are not being held accountable for their actions when they break the rules.

inside out has many benefits. It allows for the central organs of the body, such as the heart and lungs, to recover first (Storey & Storey, 1996). Thus, allowing for the quick action of the circulatory and respiratory systems to continue the rest of the thawing process. Blood flow to the tissue happens next, then breathing, and the eventual recovery of muscles (Storey & Storey,…

can be applied to historical events. In two different articles, Inventing Opera as art in nineteenth-century Manchester and The Invention of the English Christmas, both written by John Storey, he explains a re-invention of a societal event (rather than the titles word of an invention). Both of the two subjects Storey is analyzing are social events in which the majority of the re-invention happened in the 19th century. The 19th century was when the industrial revolution was well in its prime and…
