The Gothic style of architecture was the architecture of many castles, towns, universities and palaces. “The Gothic style of architecture moved into the renaissance style of architecture.” (1).

    I took a virtual tour of Versailles, Hampton Court Palace, and St. Peter 's Basilica as well as looked at numerous pictures of artwork and architecture in and of the buildings. These three places have things in common as well as many differences. They all have the evidence of the baroque era but they each show different values that are most important to their community. It seems to me that Versailles was more concerned with showing their successes in politics, economics and the arts. Hampton court palace seemed more concerned with showing power than anything else. Finally, at St. Peter 's Basilica the artwork and architecture seems to show their concern and devotion to their religion.…

    Architecture was the first style to push beyond modernist values and shift to post-modern values. Modern architecture followed a uniform style that appears in the de Stijl movement; which preferred order, horizontal/vertical lines, simplicity, sameness, universal form, and purism; meanwhile, the Bauhaus movement used industrial materials and simple geometric forms. The international style or what can be termed as present-day architecture followed the modernist values of architecture; simple geometric forms such as rectangular prisms or as people of today call them “Skyscrapers”. Those three phases incorporated geometric forms over and over, but nothing extreme like the post-modern architecture. Post-modern…

    Architecture has been around for more than a thousand years. "During the Renaissance, architects trained as humanists helped raise the status of their profession from skilled laborer to artist." ( Wikipedia) They hoped to create structures that would appeal to both emotion and reason. Three figures in Renaissance architects were Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, and Andrea Palladio. We would hope to find within the time capsule a set of plans and notes on such marvels as Florence Cathedral, and other great structures that lead the way for the buildings of today. "In Baroque architecture, new emphasis was placed on bold massing, colonnades, domes, light-and-shade, painterly color effects, and the bold play of volume and void." ( Wikipedia) Such architects as Sir Christopher Wren "an English scientist and architect of the 17th century, most famous for his role in the re-building of London's churches after the Great Fire of London of 1666"( ( Wikipedia), and Nicholas Hawksmoor an British architect. From the past to the present it is a marvel how that was designed and built before modern technology was there to help them construct it. The marvel designs of the past have help in paving the way for the current designs for the future. With technology advancement it is making designing these new advance building much…

    This can be seen not only through the Classical Arundel marbles in the house, but also through the Classical Palladian architecture in whish it was constructed. The sheer size of the house reinforces the magnificence of the family; however, the plain, simple, regularity of the exterior emphasizes the classical influence displayed. Even thought hid building does not have columns of a typical Roman temple style construction, I still possessed many classical values. It is the buildings symmetry and plain exterior that are classical elements. The incorporation of these features was crucial during the early modern period, because it referenced both the Renaissance movement occurring throughout Europe, and Classical Rome. This displayed that the owner was worldly and aware of cultural movements, not just the ones in England. When the house was being constructed the Herbert family were considered “new men”, and had to prove themselves and their worth, through their collection and the construction of their house. Having a house of classical architecture indicated the family’s noble taste in the excellence, precision, and beauty of Antiquity. It is important to recognize a house as a part of a collection because it is more than just a building. It contains the insight to the family’s intimate, personal…

    The Elizabethan era was a time period centered around the life of Queen Elizabeth I’s reign (1558-1603). This period in time is considered the peak of English history and is the beginning of when people began to think and believe differently. That brought along changes in the way people dressed. How people, particularly rich ones, dressed was just another way for them to express themselves. Social classes are also very much prominent in the era. These social classes influenced the fashion of the Elizabethan era. This is shown in men’s and women’s clothes, shoes, hats, and accessories in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

    In the beginning, “The Bungalow craze did not arise in a cultural vacuum, but was one expression of a boarder artistic movement at the turn of the century known as Arts and Crafts” (110). In the nineteenth century, the Progressive reform era promoted simple architectural styles. As the era progressed society changed living styles.
