William Hablinski
An architect that similarly follows the solution that I have proclaimed is William Hablinski. William Hablinski’s Architectural firm on the West Coast of U.S.A follows the classical styles of architecture from ancient Greece and Italy by using scale, detailing, symmetry and proportion in his projects . Hablinkski draws inspiration from Classical Architecture to create residential homes that successfully honour the traditional techniques and concepts of the past whilst still embracing the modern lifestyle of the 21st Century. An example of this is the French Chateau residence in Beverly Hills, California. This project is an interpretation of the Chateau de Maisons, which were built estates around the Ille de France in the late 17th and early …show more content…
Schwarz and his project the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, Tennessee ( 2006-2009) . The building which houses the Nashville Symphony is referred to as the “ Athens of the South” as it is reflects the New Classical Architecture within the 21st Century. This four-storey structure draws inspiration from the classical halls of Vienna, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Berlin from the 19th century. “The design of the Symphony Centre was inspired by the world’s great concert halls, many of which were built in Europe in the late 19th Century” .For instance, Barcelona’s Palau de la Música Catalana inspired Schwarz to create natural lighting inside and richness in the building’s exterior. Whilst Vienna’s and Berlin’s Konzerthaus, inspired Schwarz to create a series of gracious public spaces around each hall . The Amsterdam's Concertgebouw also inspired Schwarz to create a 29-foot-high north entrance bordered by columns. Schwarz states that “this is a thoroughly modern building wearing somewhat traditional-looking clothing” . We can justly say that this is true as it embodies classical elements from the past in the form of classic limestone columns, streamlined proportions and stylized details in its

    The Music Center was well lit, and very inviting. The outer walls of the center are made of glass and add to its remarkable appearance.

    The European Colonial period lasted from the 16th century to the early 20th century; European powers such as France and England established colonies throughout the American homeland, and in other geographical locations such as Asia and Africa. Since, these European settlers were the ones who founded our globally recognized cities today, obviously, they had a tremendous influence on the architectural design. The most populated newfound American cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York’s derivation were architecturally focused on human welfare and economics. The baseline of each of these modern-day economic powerhouse cities today originated from the genius and innovative ideals of the European settlers…

    Lewis Hine was an American photographer and sociologist. Lewis used his photography as a tool in American social reform concentrating on ending child labor. This photograph was taken around 1908, after Hine was hired by the Child Labor Committee to take pictures of child labor. The pictures that Hine took working for the committee were largely responsible for ending child labor. People knew what was happening, but never saw how bad and in such an emotion provoking way. Lewis Hine was very devoted as an anti-child labor activist so when he was taking photographs like this one, his goal was to capture an emotion-evoking image that would rally the public to his cause. He took photos with the goal of enlightening the public to the dismal facilities that child laborers worked in and dejected emotions they were feeling. The moral climate of the time held child labor as an acceptable part of society because it was in the midst of the great depression and families needed more money. Hine saw it as his job to challenge these views to try to get child labor laws passed through his emotionally provocative photos.…

    Classical Nashville

    Classical Nashville: Athens of the South provides readers who are classically defunct in the areas of classical architecture, and also those knowledgeable on the subject of classical architecture, a vigorous and enlightening journey into the origins of classical architecture in Nashville. Classical Nashville does not merely offer an insight into the architectural makeup of the city. Far from it, Classical Nashville stems back to the earliest beginnings of Nashville, before it was a wild frontier town, to the year of John Donelson’s discovery of the future site of Nashville in 1780, in order to establish a firm base for which to rest on while looking to assert Nashville’s right to the title, “Athens of the South”. The land was new, undeveloped, and therefore could be molded into a conceptualized city, which is exactly what the early founder’s intended to do. Much like the strong base with which a classical architectural building tends to establish itself as part of its design, Classical Nashville attaches the historical base origins of classical architecture in the city of Nashville to the idea that the city would be committed to the principles of the Athenian education in its design. The prospect of a city committed to the standards and principles of a classical, Athenian style education was at the heart of the founders intentions for the city of Nashville. The concept is fascinating and quite observable when one drives through Nashville, and within a large radius of Nashville one can observe classical influences. The Tennessee State Capital being one of the most recognizable of these classically influenced structures. Classical architecture is easily observed for those looking for it, and Classical Nashville gives meaning to the observable.…

    Architecture has been around for more than a thousand years. "During the Renaissance, architects trained as humanists helped raise the status of their profession from skilled laborer to artist." ( Wikipedia) They hoped to create structures that would appeal to both emotion and reason. Three figures in Renaissance architects were Filippo Brunelleschi, Leon Battista Alberti, and Andrea Palladio. We would hope to find within the time capsule a set of plans and notes on such marvels as Florence Cathedral, and other great structures that lead the way for the buildings of today. "In Baroque architecture, new emphasis was placed on bold massing, colonnades, domes, light-and-shade, painterly color effects, and the bold play of volume and void." ( Wikipedia) Such architects as Sir Christopher Wren "an English scientist and architect of the 17th century, most famous for his role in the re-building of London's churches after the Great Fire of London of 1666"( ( Wikipedia), and Nicholas Hawksmoor an British architect. From the past to the present it is a marvel how that was designed and built before modern technology was there to help them construct it. The marvel designs of the past have help in paving the way for the current designs for the future. With technology advancement it is making designing these new advance building much…
