Chihuly: Jerusalem project American Glass artist Dale Chihuly has been featured all over the world from the Louvre in Paris to the San Jose Museum of art right here in the Bay Area, but his most notable exhibition was his show called “In The Light of Jerusalem” at the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem. The exhibition would take place in the year 2000 and was a tribute "to 4000 years of glass making here in the Holy Land- and more important- a tribute to a unique site in a unique city in a unique country and at the unique time.” Chihuly knew that the Citadel was already a heavily populated area that Jews, Muslims, Christians, and tourists visited every single day so he had to make sure to impact their visit in a way that would stay with
Tiles, marvel stones, gold, crested china, silverware and crystal chandeliers were all imported from Europe to fit the taste of the rich. They have spent 12.5 million dollars to complete the building. The Plaza was a hotel back then as it is presently. However, many of the super rich lived in that hotel permanently.

Not all of this was good, though as all residents who used to live on the land were legally evicted, but were offered compensation and alternative housing. Transport links were improved in the area, as Southeastern Trains bought a contract with the Japanese company Hitachi, buying 29 passenger units, (the Javelins) which run from Ebbsfleet to London St Pancras.

Not since the Roman perfection of concrete construction had building technology so radicalized structural possibilities. Designed to house the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations of 1851, the Crystal Palace took its place among the largest structures ever built, longer than the Palace of Versailles and as tall as a Gothic cathedral. The construction of the Crystal Palace for the 1851 International Exhibition in London, resoundingly demonstrated the virtues of industrial technologies, bringing a new level of efficiency to the question of utility in architecture. It embodied the utilitarian spirit of modern industry, built without masonry, almost exclusively of standardized components of iron and glass. The enormous frame was set into limestone footings and followed a 24'-0" x 24'-0" structural bay, which determined the layout of the 13,000 exhibition spaces.
“From rollers coasters to bumper cars and ferris wheels, amusement park rides attract massive crowds, with an estimated annual attendance of nearly 300 million at the more than 420 fixed-site theme parks in the United States, according to 2008 data from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions website” (U. S. Rides, Article On Line www.IAAPA.org). According to Beth Robertson with the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, “Last year, there were one and a half billion rides. But there were less than 2,400 injuries that required an overnight hospital stay” (Ride Safety In The United States, Article On Line www.IAAPA.org ). "The likelihood of being seriously injured requiring overnight hospitalization on a permanently located amusement park ride in the United States is one in nine million, said IAAPA representative Colleen Mangone. You are much more likely to be killed by a bee sting, a snake bite, fireworks, tornadoes, electrocution and even dogs, than to be seriously hurt in one of these parks” (Injury Statistics, Article On Line, www.IAAPA.org).
