The Vanna Venturi House
The exterior of the house is simple and looks like a house, and it is connected to the interior. For some elements outside of the house like the chimney, it is easy to tell where it is located. It’s usually on either sides of the house, but in the Vanna Venturi House’s case it is in the middle. There are different sizes of windows placed in the house, which are designed instead of having repetitive shapes of windows. Robert Venturi used the invention of having those asymmetrical windows randomly in the house, not like any other house, that would have a window on one side and the same exact one on the other side. Another interesting element to look at is the cut outside the house from the top all the way until the second floor; the empty space

    Shapes and volume are used not only to form man-made objects in the painting, but as the foundation for natural landmarks as well. In the foreground, the cinder wall is intricately composed of various triangles and squares, all connected by lines. The abovementioned tree is also composed of shapes, with two, well-defined circles acting as knots in the wood. The houses in the village below are constructed with well-defined lines to represent three-dimensional forms, with cubes and elongated triangular forms composing roofs.

    The House on Mango Street is in a poverty- stricken neighborhood in Chicago. That is where Esperanza Corderos and her family moved to. When the Corderos family lived in a house on Loomis, a nun (working at Esperanza’s school) was in disbelief when Esperanza pointed out where she and her family had lived. The way the nun acted affected Esperanza, making her feel dissatisfied and embarrassed of where she was living. Esperanza could not wait to move again. Esperanza describes the new house stating “ Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in”. Her dream house would have working pipes, a basement, more than one bathroom, and real stairs. The house might not be perfect as the dream house she…

    One night we were at Emili Lewis’s house. A few of us girls wanted to try to stay up all night. It had been raining so we decided we wanted to go for a drive. This point of the night it was like 1:30 a.m. We drove for a little while before we got bored. We decided to brainstorm some ideas of stuff to do. We decided we wanted to go out to Box Canyon in Kaitlin’s truck to look at the stars. It took us a little while to get everything put together. We finally started heading out there at 3:00 a.m. On the way out there we passed a truck. The truck was very short, matte black, and had a circle light bar in between the headlights. None of us recognized the truck and we got a little nervous. We decided to ignore it and keep going. For the rest of the drive we talked about boys, problems, and then we started talking about scary stuff. When we got out there we were too scared to get out of the truck, so we turned around and started back into town. We got…

    These plaques show what houses in the the town of Knossos looked like in the 17th century BCE.On the roof there was a small room. This may have been used for sleeping in during the hot summer months. The rooms on the first floor had windows, but those on the ground floor did not, although some of them had doors on the ground floor. It may be that windows on the ground floor were avoided for simple reasons of security -- to avoid burglary.…

    A melody is heard, played upon a flute. It is small and fine, telling of grass and trees and the horizon. The curtain rises. Before us is the Salesman’s house. We are aware of towering, angular shapes behind it, surrounding it on all sides. Only the blue light of the sky falls upon the house and forestage; the surrounding area shows an angry glow of orange. As more light appears, we see a solid vault of apartment houses around the small, fragile-seeming home. An air of the dream clings to the place, a dream rising out of reality. The kitchen at center seems actual enough, for there is a kitchen table with three chairs, and a refrigerator. But no other fixtures are seen. At the back of the kitchen there is a draped entrance, which leads to the living room . . .…

    Located at 205 South 16th Street stands a house different from most. Its brick is layed in an orthodox pattern and its windows are long and narrow. The slender columns around the front porch suggest a Queen Ann style of house, but its curved roofing and widows walk make it more of a vernacular type of home. The house has multiple embellishments which also suggest that it could be a Queen Ann type of building because Queen Ann style homes have numerous amounts of detail and small, slender columns. For instance, this particular home has detailing on the crowning above the windows. Above the windows and front door is a structure that is painted yellow and has several details carved into it to make it look similar to the edge of lace. This draws attention to the…
