The Altes Museum was a building designed by architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and it is located in Berlin, Germany. It was built between the era of 1823 to 1830. The construction system was a bearing masonry and on the inside has a temperate climate. This museum has an urban context and a neoclassical style and it has a colonial theme. It is derived from vertical element expressions and is freestanding within a tight frame that is provided by end frames, a wall, and a roof. There is a row of columns that are set in front of a wall bringing together a good ground wall relationship. The columns play a major role because they are in the front and stand out also because the in between spaces can be effective figures. The building is surrounded by Ionic entablature

the site required a very monumental building. Therefore I preferred one giant order rather than two individual expressions for the two main stories….The building surrounded on all sides by the Ionic entablature or the Ionic columnar hall, with Ionic pilasters at the four corners, forms a simple yet grand main structure into which the two floors are inserted in a subordinate manner

It’s good old Sin City, Nevada. Otherwise and officially, it is the city of Las Vegas, the state’s most populated city and self proclaimed, ” Entertainment Capital of the World.” This city was established in 1911 and is one of the most sinful places to live, according to some of its residents. My focus is more on its architectural styling given to its many casinos, homes, buildings, and community.

After the opening of The Mirage, a Megaresort, construction done in downtown Las Vegas, was now being done along the Las Vegas Strip. Many efforts to bring in tourist dollars to fund building projects were and still are a success. Construction of many new residential and hotel high-rises are on the way to ensure that the city of Las Vegas is more than just casinos and “Lady Luck.”

People have tried some crazy stunts, involving The Arch, in the past. One man tried to parachute onto the top of the arch, but landed on one of its legs and flew down the arch to his death. Two others tried climbing the arch using suction cups. One was talked out of it while the other claimed he did it, but could deliver no evidence to prove it.

The once dubbed ‘Unsinkable Ship’, the Titanic was a true architectural marvel of its time.

The Olympic-class passenger liner sadly sank after hitting an iceberg killing around 1,517 people in the process.

The Titanic was built on the shipyard of Harland and Wolf in Belfast, Ireland. Its construction began on March 31, 1909. It was given a RMS prefix because it carried mail. The ship sadly did not have sufficient lifeboats. Titanic’s demise gave way to new rules and building codes for ships and ship safety. Many have tried to find Titanic’s remains but success didn’t come until 1985. Most of its artifacts and remains are located in a museum in Greenwich, England.

Boy, If our forefather and 1st US President George Washington was still alive, he would be shedding tears of happy and joy over the things people have established in his honor. Not only does he have his face on the dollar bill, a state sharing his name, and spot on the world famous Mount Rushmore, but he even has an obelisk dedicated to his legacy.

It is called the Washington Monument. It’s a tall, large obelisk located in Washington D.C. and holds two distinct honors. It’s the world’s tallest stone structure and world’s tallest obelisk. It stands at 555 feet and and was constructed from granite, sandstone, and marble. The architect responsible for the monument is Robert Mills. Construction of the great monument began in 1848, but wasn’t completed until 1884.
