The Chumash helped construct palisades, which would serve as temporary buildings for the mission. However due to several Indian tribes which were determined to get rid of European settlers, they set these buildings ablaze. Because of this, father cavaller was forced to rebuild the buildings using adobe and tile structures. In 1970 the mission “was recognized as the center of the
In August of 1774 Father Luis Jayme played a very big part in moving the Mission inland from the Presidio to the present site. It was not until later that year that many of the Natives joined the Christian life and were baptized. That very next year in the early hours on November 5, 1775 hundreds of natives set fire to mission buildings, destroyed the church and brutally murdered Father Luis Jayme. Father Luis Jayme was martyred because of his self-sacrifice, devotion, faith, and love at the San Diego Mission de Alcala. This made him the first California martyr.
In 1845, Mexican Governor Pío Pico declared all mission buildings in Alta California for sale, but no one bid for Mission San Antonio.

Mies later recalled, ”If I thought I knew how to draw before, I really learned now. We had huge drawing boards that went from floor to ceiling and stood vertically against the wall. You couldn’t lean on or against them; you had to stand squarely in front of them and draw not just by turning your hand but by swinging your whole arm. We mad drawings the size of an entire quarter on a room ceiling, which we could then send on to the model makers.
He took on the challenge of carving this beautiful work out of a “huge oblong chunk of pure white unflawed Carrara marble – some 18 feet high and weighing several tons – that had been badly block out and then abandoned by an earlier sculptor” (Coughlan 85). This piece had always fascinated Michelangelo, but neither he, nor anyone else, could think of what to carve from it, until now (Coughlan 85). Thus began a new era in art, the High Renaissance. He began carving this statue for the city of Florence. It would become a symbol of this

All of the more than one hundred and forty buildings in the districts are made using the same architecture, a distinctive technique that helped researchers conclusively identify the site as Incan. The buildings are all made of stone, tightly fit together without any mortar, which is classic Inca style. The mystery is how the Incans managed to do this, since we have no evidence that they used the wheel: how did they move the giant blocks? The site also
Vermeer often shows calm and quietness in most of his paintings, but his life was surprisingly different. Very little is known about Vermeer’s life, and only information can be obtained is from the legal documents. He was born in a protestant family in 1632 in a small province of Holland called Delft that had only 25000 people. His father was an art dealer so Vermeer started his career as a painter from an early age. At age of 20, he inherited his father’s of art dealership and became a master painter, but struggled to keep up with the fierce competition.
Situational analysis CEMEX is one of the world’s largest supplier of building materials (US $15.14 bln sales in 2011). The Mexican company founded in 1906 has long been a local, Mexican player but since 1992 it has stepped on an exponential „road” to become global. A key instance for this has been the appointment of Lorenzo Zambrano to be the CEO and Chairman in 1985. With his in-depth knowledge of the Monterey based company (grandson of founder and went through the ladder till becoming CEO), extensive business management skills (MBA, US universities), and openness to high-tech solutions, computer aided business (CEMEXNet) CEMEX acquired and developed the skills necessary to outperform its rivals in size, quality, and profitability. Success can be rooted to the strategy that CEMEX has been focused on emerging markets where profitability was higher versus developed markets.
Architect, artist, and engineer Santiago Calatrava was born on July 28, 1951, in Benimamet, near Valencia, Spain.
