Architecture

Most people believe that tossing a coin in a fountain or well will bring Good Luck. But for Trevi Fountain, this is supposed to be romantic and bring happiness in your love life.

Architect of the Capitol was created in 1793.

The choice of timber 'species' (fir, pine, hemlock, cedar, oak, etc.) for a ceiling frame depends on many factors:

The first would the structure. Some woods are stronger than others. It the ceiling is covering a large space, a strong wood that comes in long lenghts, like Douglas Fir, would be a good choice. If the Spans are short, a weaker wood, like pine would be good.

The second is aesthetic. Douglas Fir is a good stable wood with a pretty grain, but it is slightly red in color. Some people love it, some people prefer a wood that is more blond, like Pine or Hemlock. Oak can have a golden or reddish color, but a a hardwood, it often twists and checks. The checking (splitting partially through a timber) makes the frame look rustic.

A third factor is exposure to the weather. Pine will rot over time if it gets wet. Hemlock, cedar, fir and oak are rot resistant. Pine has a nice pretty grain though, it takes stain well, and it is light and easy to work with.

Architecture is everywhere that humans have been. It is a direct part of human beings and it has evolved along with the people. It has primitive beginnings that can reach back to the time when monolithic slabs of rocks where used as markers of known territory. It continues today to be a monument to human progress in technology. This evolution is seen all around the world. A humble hut deserves to be called architecture as much as the Chrysler building because the hut can create place out of place just as a suburban house can be a home.

The Dome of the ROck

IN Barcelona (SPAIN) the MACBA museum is in an old church, el Convent dels Angels.

I used to go to a medieval church in England, and I think I know the answer to this. Most medieval churches worked the same way.

High up above the church's nave, above where people gathered to pray, was a little landing that could be only reached by a set of circular stairs. Choir boys sometimes went up there to play cards during the service, and the choir master never knew because he was very near sighted, and absent minded too. Anyway, during the summer, since hot air rises, the air up there got very hot, so the choir boys opened a window, and their rough handling broke a pane of glass that no one could see from below. And that was how the bats got in and out.

Now, the bats used to roost in the decorated stones above the sanctuary, above where the priest fixed up the bread and wine. Alter boys used to come in with incense, and the priest would wave it around, filling the air with smoke. It was so bad that sometimes someone in the front rows would feint or get sick. Just think of that, and imagine being a bat, hit with all that smoke rising up while you are trying to sleep on a hot summer morning. So the bats would all fly to the back of the church as soon as the smoke got up to them.

When they got to the back of the church, the bats flew up to the ceiling, because that is what bats do. It probably seemed to them it would be a better place than over the sanctuary. And they would settle down and try to go back to sleep. But the back of the church was also where the organ was, and wouldn't you know it? As soon as the bats started to land among the organ pipes, so they could get some rest, it was time for the offertory hymn, which was always played loudly and fast so people would feel good about making donations. Of course the bats didn't feel good about anything by this time, and they spent the rest of the service flying about, first to this part of the church and then to another, escaping noise or smoke, whichever was worse.

It took the longest time to find where the broken window was. But we knew what caused it because there was a pack of cards and a copy of Mad Magazine up there. It got fixed on a Saturday morning, just before the bats got back from their nightly run. But it didn't do any good. Those boys had found out about where the bats came from, and as quick as the windows were fixed, new holes appeared for the benefit of bats. It was a losing battle, and in the end, the sacristan quit and no one else was willing to go up the circular stairs anymore except the choirboys. In time, it was just accepted that a normal service always included bats.

And now you know why medieval churches were batty.

Hope that helps. :)

I would say, for Chicagoans, the symbolic building is the Water Tower. It is the only building in Chicago that survived the Great Fire. I would say, for the world, the symbolic building in Chicago is the Sears Tower.

== In the earliest days such obstacles had to be walked around. When boats came into use, they were used to ferry people and trade. The earliest bridges were probably built of ropes and were only capable of short spans and light loads. == Fallen trees or emplaced logs.

The Roman's built it as a large arena. The techniques used aren't mentioned, however they used white and pink limestone.

If it is a 2x2x2 and a 12x12x12 house then you find the volumes and divide

12x12x12/(2x2x2)=216

Else it is this, by using area

12x12/(2x2)=36

Dipheral is an archiac term in architecture referring to an interior range of columns.

Mahogany for durability, Cedar for cost. I would use Ipe, which is a member of the ironwood family. It can be used for exterior work untreated and will last for 30-35 years. You must predrill all screwholes.
