A tan carpet covers the floor and runs the length of the room, which has black plastic moldings that connect the floor to the wall. The walls in the office are painted green with a decorative tan border that runs along the bottom edges and doorframes of the walls. In the room, a piece of the wall has been removed to provide an example of the building’s layout that shows a brick interior that is covered by wood and plaster covering. The brick indicates the room’s addition onto the structure. This removed section also provides fire marshals with information on the structure’s interior layout when conducting annual fire code inspections. White wooden frames surround the doors, which are comprised of fascia moldings. One doorway connects to the entrance hall while the other leads into the dining room. Two white wooden framed windows in the office feature fascia molding. The smooth white plaster ceiling runs the length of the room and contains a smoke detector above the doorway leading into the hallway. A fireplace positioned on the eastern wall of the room contains a black stone hearth. A golden metal grate sits in front of the firebox opening. Attached to the hearth is the cheek, which connects to the firebox opening’s black brick interior. The white plaster fireplace and mantel, with matching fascia molding, is symmetrical to the molding featured in the…
The article “On Sale at Old Navy: Cool Clothes for Identical Zombies!” written by Damien Cave explains how as a society we are swayed by the flash of big corporations and in turn are loosing what real culture we have left. Damien Cave starts the article off with a scenario showing a man named “Thomas Frank”. As Frank walks by a heavily decorated Old Navy he shows his disgust saying ”Oh God, this is disgusting”. Thomas Frank is a pioneering social critic, writing articles on how businesses adopted “cool anti-corporate culture”. As the article progresses we find that these businesses offer nothing more than poor quality merchandise at a low price, and the consumer is lured in by the promise of quality for less. Stores such as Old Navy and Ikea use marketing tricks to keep it's customer coming back for more. Ikea sets it's store up like a maze where the exit is placed only at the registers, the room models persuade the consumer they need everything they see. Old Navy hands out extra large shopping bags as a gesture of good customer service but can influence over spending. Damien Cave brings these issues up so that we the reader are aware of such trickery used by certain chain businesses. Society is so accustomed to these marketing schemes we don't realize we are replicating each others homes but in different variations; we can all buy the same sofa and not notice. We are lead to believe that we can find happiness in our belongings but that is far from the truth. This merchandise is poor in quality and can cause us to spend more in the end on replacements and repairs. These companies are scamming the general public into believing they are getting a deal and in return we are getting cookie cutter home…

In “Hetch Hetch Valley” (1912) from American Earth: Environmental Writing Since Thoreau, John Muir argues that Hetch Hetchy Valley should not be dammed and turned into a reservoir. He describes how fantastic and special the Hetch Hetchy Valley is by pointing out to its highlights. Then, he claims that everyone needs material and mental lives. He asserts the natural beauty can provide people a positive attitude toward life. Thus, he blames the advocates damage this beauty for money. The proponents claim that Hetch Hetchy Valley just a normal landscape that people can find lots of others. In addition, it would be more beautiful after being dammed. On the other hand, they also assert that the water in Hetch Hetchy Valley is so pure that it would never been polluted. Therefore, Muir censures the proponents give bad reasons and unreal facts to mislead people and make the dam project reasonable. Furthermore, he against building dam to break these precious wild beauties.…

When the Elwha Dam was demolished it was the largest controlled sediment release in a dam removal project anywhere in the world. Because of the amount of sediment behind large dams like the Elwha, the demolition must be done gradually over time to ensure that there is not an overflow of sediment rushed down the river which could cause significant damage to the landscape and the organisms which inhabit it. At the time of the dam removal the Elwha was holding behind it 15,000,000 cubic yards of silt. Sediment buildup isn't the only thing that dams can change about the soil. Many geological occurrences have been blamed on dams.…
Like any formal writing, the beginning is equally important as the end. In order to appreciate the present, the past needs to be understood. Knowing the journey of where I grew up from the beginning to present day is amazing. It’s hard to believe there was a time in my hometown, Iron Mountain, Michigan, where electricity didn’t exist nor did the everyday tools we now take for granted. I often wonder what the city looked like to my grandparents and their family before them.…
I choose the picture of the Natural Bridge Caverns because of how it’s made with all the layers of rocks. I like it the natural bridge caverns because the visitors who travel to go see the Natural Bridge Cavern travel through different layers of different of rocks. And get to look at the different rocks and learn about the history of the rocks and how there all different. What you’ll find out is Glen Pose is the oldest layer of the rocks. The main reason why visitor’s visit the caverns is for the water moving through the Natural Bridge Caverns joints. My impressions of the place before I started researching it was wow I can’t wait to visit this location soon. And why haven’t never heard of this place ever before since I always go to the San…

Two very different buildings in their typology, The Roy Grounds House (1953) and The National Gallery of Victoria (1968), with one a small residential building and the other a large internationally recognised institution, clearly show how he is constantly practicing values of symmetry and simple geometries(fig#) and some of the specific elements that are continually reproduced and perfected, large eves with and rising undersides (fig#), panoramic highlight windows (fig#) and centre courtyards (fig#).…
The year was 2384, the air was dry, and the sky, hazy in the nation of Heatherton. The parched land, dotted with identical, beige-colored, stucco, single-story buildings, extended for miles. Heatherton’s monotonous vista terminated abruptly at an ill-boding barrier indicating the beginning of the Outskirts, a nickname given to the bleak, seemingly endless desert beyond the ominous, barbed-wire, electrified fence. After the War of Devolution wiped out one-third of the human race, few organized nations survived. Heatherton, however, was a nation that endured, sustained by its ability to conquer immense challenges through innovation and invention. One pivotal innovation, the DeathDate, was introduced in 2257 by the brilliant Lucius Helvetica,…

Just off the museum’s lobby is the first exhibit entrance. This large room is filled with natural light which seeps through the skylight windows placed irregularly in the two-story celling. Aside from the sun’s brightness, the only other source of light comes from the small lamps that are built into the glass showcases. As visitors follow along, they are either introduced to or reunited with the Jewish heritage. Each artifact has its own description neatly engraved on metal plates that hang above. One of the largest objects in the room is a copy of the Torah. This large scroll of parchment is rolled to allow a glimpse of its Hebrew script. In the middle of the room are three floor-to-ceiling murals, one of a marketplace,…
