During this period, the Americans constructed many Neoclassical buildings in Manila. During the rise of cinema in the Philippines as a form of recreation, several theaters were constructed in the 1930s to 1950s in the Art Deco style designed by prominent architects now recognized as National Artists.
British people lived during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901), or it can be used to describe British objects or buildings created in that period, or objects or buildings from the British Empire from that period. Sometimes (faithfully) used to describe any object or building from this period. Earlier people/buildings/eggs would be Regency; later would be called Edwardian.
Yes. The British burned down the White House, and other public buildings, during the War of 1812.
During the war of 1812 the British were defeated in every attack on the US except in Maine and Washington DC.
Caen is known for its historical buildings built during the reign of William the Conqueror, who was buried here, and for the Battle for Caen-heavy fighting that took place in and around Caen during the Battle of Normandy in 1944, destroying much of the town.
During the British period in Agra, several notable buildings were constructed, reflecting colonial architecture. Key examples include the iconic Agra Railway Station, built in 1910, and the Government College, which showcases Indo-Saracenic design. Additionally, the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah, though predating British rule, was restored during this time, and the British also contributed to the preservation of Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal, enhancing their appeal as tourist attractions.
The first structures at Princeton University were built before the American Revolution. Bullet damage from engagements between British and American forces during the Revolution can still be seen in Nassau Hall. The University continues to be built. New buildings are being constructed at present.

Asbestos was commonly used in building construction between the 1940s and 1970s, with peak usage in the 1970s. Buildings and structures constructed during this period are more likely to contain asbestos-containing materials.
No, not unless the building being constructed is being designed for demolition instruction. Otherwise, this practice violates all known building codes.
Buildings constructed to withstand earthquakes are referred to as "seismic-resistant" or "earthquake-resistant" structures. These designs incorporate various engineering techniques and materials to absorb and dissipate seismic energy, reducing the risk of damage during an earthquake. Features may include flexible foundations, reinforced walls, and damping systems that enhance stability and safety.
Any building that wish to survive a substantial earthquake should be able to sway. Most buildings in Japan are constructed with isolation bearings, that allow the buildings to sway from side to side during an earthquake.
Disaster resilient buildings are structures designed to withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires. These buildings are constructed using specialized materials and techniques that minimize damage and protect occupants during and after a disaster. Features may include reinforced foundations, impact-resistant windows, and fireproof materials.
They burned the White House and under the paint today the burn marks are still there.
Independence Hall is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The location sits among Independence National Historical Park and was initially constructed during the mid 1700s.
