Bauhaus is a school of art and design which was founded by known architect, Walter Gropius in Weimar in 1919 and closed by the Nazis in 1933. Successfully moving to Dessau in 1925 and Berlin in 1932, Bauhaus first opened for a short period of time and was considered the most famous art school of the 20th century. The Bauhaus philosophy is centered on the functionality of design and playing a main idea of combining art, craftsmanship and technology. Bauhaus design can be found in many categories, such as, furniture, architecture, graphic design and more. Graphic design is the most universal of all of the arts.
Functionalism relies very much on the scientific method. By relying on the scientific method, the study of sociology can be observed in the same way one would view the physical world. (McClelland) Most of the ideas of functionalism came from Emile Durkheim. He was a French sociologist that wrote the basis for functionalist theory. Durkheim was one of the first sociologists to use the scientific method and statistical techniques in sociological research.
Finally, the location of each structure is relative to how they compare and contrast. The Parthenon in Greece and The Pantheon in Italy can be compared and contrasted in terms of design, materials used, function, and location. The Parthenon was built by the architects Itkinos and Kallikrates, as a temple generally of the Doric order. However, it also incorporates Ionic elements, such as the Ionic opisthinaos, a rear room of the temple, and the sculptural enrichment which was more recognizable in the Ionic order. The demensions are a base of 30.9m by 69.5m.
Matthew Ritchie was born in 1964 in London, England. According to Ritchie his artistic mission “has been no less ambitious than an attempt to represent the entire universe and the structures of knowledge and belief that we use to understand and visualize it.” Matthew Ritchie is a multifaceted artist. He not only is a painter but he also creates light box drawings, floor to wall installations, free standing sculptures and short stories. There are two works of art that caught my eye in the art21 video. The first was the drawing he was working on the wall and the second was the Universal Cell.
Class E doors are similar to Class D doors, being classified as openings in exterior walls subject to moderate or light fire exposure from outside the building. Fire doors often contain fire windows. Fire windows are made of wired glass, which allows the glass to withstand high temperatures without breaking. Sometimes fire glass is available without wire, and in
In case of an emergency an outer shell will cover these entry ways. Oh, and did I mention that these doors can outlast a blast from a tank. The exterior is constructed of reinforced concrete and brilliant white Vermont marble. The Capitol building and the Oregon State library were connected by underground tunnels used for electricity and heating purposes. Polished rose travertine stone line the rotunda, lobby and halls on the first floor.
Concrete was use as a finishing material. 2. The interior space is open, flows casually and is welcoming. While there are large windows allowing natural light to enter the space; shades are used to enhance comfort. Upon entering the museum there are bright colored nylons, kinetic sculptures pulling you further in to
The Chapel of Charlemagne is considered a masterpiece of Carolingian architecture and is the best know surviving example of a Palatine Chapel. Figure 1.1 Palatine Chapel in the cathedral at Aachen, Ger. The central portion of the structure was built by Charlemagne, and the other sections were built later. Vanni/Art Resource, New York The Middle Ages art and architecture was divided into two periods Romanesque and Gothic. Building rooms such as the Abbey Church of Sainte-foy in France marked the Romanesque period shown here in figure 1.2.
The positive space is less than the amount of negative space and can be represented by the buildings and the ground. Line works well with space in this painting by separating the two with the horizon line. The two visual elements I thought to be the most apparent were balance, and of course scale/proportion. Balance, specifically, asymmetrical balance, is shown and represented by the two groups of structures on either side of the
After WWI, Comfort Avery Adams established the American Welding Society, with its main goal being the advancement of the welding process. This led to the development of the automatic welding integrated use of arc voltage and bare electrode wires discovered by P.O. Nobel in the 1920’s. By the mid 1940’s a new process of welding came about known as Heliarc welding, which was a new form of welding aluminum and magnesium together seamlessly. (GTAW) gas shielded metal arc
