structural safety according to the building’s height, size, or usage. In Ontario area, tremendous buildings are located and have been getting high-rise and ecologic. While usual people think in terms of common envelope system of buildings as curtain-wall or concrete, from my perspective, Terrence Donelly Centre in University of Toronto and Earth Rangers Centre have unusual functions with their enclosure systems, with sustainability.

Wesley and I chose the poem “Mending Wall” by Robert Frost. This poem is about two neighbors that are divided by a stone wall and in thes scene, they are meeting to repair the wall. One neighbor doesn't understand the need for the wall since there are no animals to fence in and their trees are different. The presentation to our classmates went very well and we were very calm. We were to memorize our intro and try to as little as possible, not look at the poem. The delivery was very well but…

The building and existence of The Berlin Wall is one of the most infamous events and monuments in global history. Known as the “Wall of Shame”, it was the main barrier between Communism and Democracy for 28 years. The Wall completely cut off relations between East and West parts of Germany. Prior to the Wall being built, more than 3.5 million German citizens crossed between the two areas before 1961 to their jobs and to get basic supplies to survive. During the Cold War the two main powers…

While reading Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall”, I find myself curious to understand the greater meaning behind the poem. What does this wall represent? Why does the narrator act as he does? Thorough analysis of rhetoric, form, purpose, diction, and syntax reveals possible implied themes such as requiring boundaries for prosperous relationships and linking futile and persistent acts of barrier-building to the segregation that was contemporaneous to Frost’s composition of this poem. Furthermore,…

1914 Frost wrote the poem “The Mending Wall,” which was a long stanza of blank verse. The poem of “The Mending Wall,” described two neighbors who had a controversy about the wall dividing their properties. The narrator wanted to remove the wall and his neighbor wanted to keep the wall between them, both having the goal to strengthen their relationship as neighbors. The symbolism of the “mending wall” was the highlighting factor of the entire story. The wall separated the neighbors physically but…

In Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture", he uses the quote: “The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people." Randy Pausch uses symbolism to explain the significance of brick walls. Brick walls can be used to let us prove how badly we want something. He…

In Robert Frost’s “Mending Wall”, the theme that humans create arbitrary separations between themselves to find comfort in safety is shown through his use of a playful to dark diction and symbolism of the wall. Throughout the poem, a playful diction revolving around the barrier gradually transitions into a dark diction of why these barriers exist. First, a playful diction is presented as the narrator thinks of the barriers as “...just another kind of outdoor game” (Frost 21). Frost uses…

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”-Ronald Reagan, President of the United States, 1987 (“Ronald Reagan: ‘Tear Down this Wall!’”) The ideas of communism may seem suitable on paper, but when enforced on an entire country, is devastating. One of these most profound examples of communism is the Berlin Wall. Communism changed the country of Germany; East Germans directly experienced the confinement of a communistic government. By the building of the Berlin Wall, there was an increase in violence…
