    Pericles gave a speeche that captures and provoked its audience hostility to the enemy of Athens and Sparta.In his speech at the funeral oration which is an annual ceremony to honor Athen’s war dead. This speech is an example of pathos persuasion. This pattern deals with the framing of the minds of an audience. In addition, Percles added by saying “I would have thought it sufficient that those who have shown their mettle in action should also receive their honor in an action.” Similary, in Pericles speech, he energized his audience to see themselves as heroes worthy of emulation. In the funeral oration he said that “Those who can truly be accounted brave are those who best know the meaning of what is sweet in life and what is terrible, and then go out, undeterred, to meet what is to come.”…

    From as early as before the Great Fire of London, Christopher Wren was involved in architectural projects for St. Paul’s cathedral. The evolution of his designs for the new St Paul’s began with his ideas for the old; the evolution of his designs were a process of both creation and reinvention. Starting with the vision he never lost - of the London skyline marked by a grand dome landmark - he endured the problems of building such a complex structure and the short-sighted criticisms of the all-too traditional clergy through dedication and persistence. In this essay I will analyze the evolution of his constant experiments which led up to the final design.…

    But over the past century, the social significance of architects and architecture in our society has been going down. The importance of well designed, eye-pleasing buildings has begun to be overlooked. The hard work and dedication that many architects put in everyday is being ignored by today 's society. But I believe that architecture strongly influences the choices that people make in their daily lives, helps aid the economy, and gives architects critical thinking skills that allow them to make decisions that could have a significant impact on society.…

    Louis Henry Sullivan's design theory that “form ever follows function” leads the dialogue towards a new world of design where the buildings effect on its surroundings is considered. Inspired by his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright expands on the design theory with “form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.” Nature is used in relation to building, materials and design. Phillip Johnson contributes to the movement with stating “Architecture is the art of how to waste space.” By simplifying with the International Style which has geometric forms, open interiors, and the use of glass, steel, and reinforced concrete there is an unobstructed view of the exterior from the interior. Eero Saarinen pushed past what he called “The ABC’s of modernism “that were simple & abstract to utilizing new materials, innovative construction techniques, and sculptural forms in his design. He created some of the most interesting roofs.…

    Six points of an Architecture of Resistance. Without getting two heady, Frampton proposes that Critical Regionalism mediates between universally accepted practice and the particularities of place or locality, recalling the phrase, "think globally act locally." Further, that architects should adopt modern architecture critically for its universal progressive qualities but at the same time should value responses particular to the context with emphasis on topography, climate, light, tectonic form, etc.…

    “High-tech” figures are such as Richard Rogers whom tended towards techno-romanticism in its almost picturesque handling of shiny silver ducts, tubes and mechanical services. Roger’s ex-partner, Renzo Piano, aspired towards the natural inevitability of forms arising from considerations of structure, function, day lighting, and assembly. Norman Foster was somewhere between the two where his ideas were often rooted in structural facts or metaphors, but he was also concerned with light, space and the elaboration of detail besides mechanical and natural analogies woven into his works.…

    After doing extensive research and some soul searching, I feel most connected to the French architect and theorist, Eugene Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (January 27, 1814 – September 17, 1879). Viollet-le-Duc is best known for his extensive restoration projects throughout the 19th century. His portfolio contains a long list of projects that were done in the Gothic Revival style, however he designed and restored buildings in a variety of other architectural styles. His most notable restoration commissions include:…
