Designed by architect Bruce Graham and the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill in 1973, the Sears Tower is structured by attracting square tubes of welded steel. The Sears Tower has an exterior of black aluminum and bronze toned glass. Its illuminating structure consists of bundled tubes designed to withstand wind suitable for the “Windy City” where speed winds are 16 miles per hour averaged. This enormous glistening tower covers two city blocks and retains 106 acres of office and commercial space. This work of art not only speaks for itself but is interesting and has diverse views at all angles.
Five points of architecture It was Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye (1929–1931) that most succinctly summed up his five points of architecture that he had elucidated in the journal L'Esprit Nouveau and his book Vers une architecture, which he had been developing throughout the 1920s. First, Le Corbusier lifted the bulk of the structure off the ground, supporting it by pilotis – reinforced concrete stilts. These pilotis, in providing the structural support for the house, allowed him to elucidate his next two points: a free façade, meaning non-supporting walls that could be designed as the architect wished, and an open floor plan, meaning that the floor space was free to be configured into rooms without concern for supporting walls. The second floor of the Villa Savoye includes long strips of ribbon windows that allow unencumbered views of the large surrounding yard, and which constitute the fourth point of his system. The fifth point was the roof garden to compensate for the green area consumed by the building and replacing it on the roof.

In 1980s, the current Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley wanted to construct a monument, which would be a symbolic monument to welcome immigrants to America's shore. The purpose of this monument was not simply to represent city but it also required some uniqueness, which may depic the dynamic personality of the city. He appointed a 13-member group of international experts, seven of them were American nationals and five were residents of Los Angeles. The primary job of this group was to select the location and design for the monument. The panel decided that they do not need a static model as a representation of their city but it should be a unique representation of the dynamic culture of the city of Los Angeles.
The bell tower was built in 1990 and stands 236 feet tall and is one of Orange County's tallest structures (Crystal, 2011). It was built from a polished, mirrored quality, stainless steel prisms forming a spectacular spire which catches the light from all directions and houses a 52-bell carillon (Crystal, 2011). From the outside the cathedral is very smooth and contemporary. Inside the cathedral you can see the high arches and ceilings and the bell tower completes the gothic
Strabo discusses the geography of Campania Next after Neapolis comes the Heraclean Fortress, with a promontory which runs out into the sea and so admirably catches the breezes of the southwest wind that it makes the settlement a healthful place to live in. Both this settlement and the one next after it, Pompaia (past which flows the River Sarnus), were once held by the Osci; then, by the Tyrrheni and the Pelasgi; and after that, by the Samnitae; but they, too, were ejected from the places. Pompaia, on the River Sarnus-a river which both takes the cargoes inland and sends them out to sea is the port-town of Nola, Nuceria, and Acherrae (a place with name like that of the settlement near Cremona). Above these places lies Mt. Vesuvius, which,

Later in 1956, the restoration of the castle started again. The castle has a great structure and it is also called “White Heron” due to the fact that the walls comprises of white plaster. The white plaster is used as a fireproof. Compare to the other castles in Japan, the construction of the Himeji Castle is made of wood only. The Himeji Castle is constructed 45.6 meters high on the top of sea level, and on the hill known as Himeyama.
The settings in The Portrait of a Lady cultivate a context in which the reader witnesses the transformation of Isabel Archer’s values, attitude and perspectives. In the preface to The Portrait of a Lady, James introduces his notion of architectural metaphor when he likens his writing to a building, stating, "The house of fiction has in short not one window, but a million” (7). This quote sets the stage for his use of architecture to convey information about a character’s personality. Isabel Archer’s character is reflected in the description of her home in Albany; her Uncle Touchett’s Gardencourt estate emulates the attitudes of Ralph and his father. The Lockleigh estate is a relic from another age, burdening Lord Warburton with his past.
