What is the difference between Ancient Roman architecture and Modern Roman architecture?

ok renaissance art has more depth- it's 3D, uses shadows and perspective more (perspective is when, for example, you draw a table with angled lines to make it look 3D rather that straight lines- then it looks like everything should fall off the table....) renaissance art also focuses more on the induvidiual, their feelings and their struggles. You'll find that authors also begin to focus on feelings in literature. renaissance art depicts more humanistic subjects than the middle ages did, the backgrounds are also more worldly than they had been in the middle ages. Middle ages art is usually flat and religiously related. It's pretty impersonal and symbolic, and other-worldly. also, the scale of Middle ages paintings is strange. The most important person (usually the most powerful religious figure) is the largest, and so on. The proportions of smaller people such as children and infants were off- there were drawn more as smaller adults than as minors.... hope this helps!

An architectural designer is involved in the design process (example: designing the floor plans), while a drafter has no design authority or responsibility.

How do you remove echo in the hall?

An echo is the reflection of soundwaves coming back at you. In order to remove the echo you need to absorb the sound instead of allowing it to bounce back. If this is a simple in-home hallway then you might simply hang a decorative quilt or rug on the hallway walls, or put down a runner rug on the floor if the floor is hard material. If it is a much bigger hall like in a school or church then your best bet is to put down carpeting or pursue sound absorbing ceiling tiles and wall tiles. Also placement of the absorptive material is key and might take some trial and error to get the best results.
