American Art and Architecture Two opposite forces have coexisted in American art since the establishment of the first colonies. On the one hand‚ American artists have been aware of their European cultural heritage and of continuing innovation in Europe; on the other hand‚ they have had to adapt European forms to the exigencies of their native situation. This interaction between rival forces is hardly unique to American art--all art grows within a tradition--but what distinguishes the American

HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE 1. Architecture‚ with all its varying phases and complex developments‚ must have had a simple origin in the primitive efforts of mankind to provide protection against inclement weather‚ wild beasts‚ and human enemies. Hunters and fishermen in primeval times naturally sought shelter in rock caves‚ and these were manifestly the earliest form of human dwellings; tillers of the soil took cover under arbors of trees‚ and from them fashioned huts of wattle and daub; while shepherds

Question:An architect designs two houses that are shaped and positioned like a part of the branches of the hyperbola whose equation is 625y^2 - 400x^2=250‚000‚ where x and y are in yards. How far apart are the houses at their closeset point? Answers:625y^2 - 400x^2=250‚000 y^2 / 20^2 - x^2 / 25^2 = 1 The closest two points on separate branches are the vertices‚ and their separation is 2 * 20 = 40yd. I find the question a little confusing‚ though. Question:LORAN (long distance radio navigation)

Studying artifacts is like looking through a keyhole into the past. Although artifacts themselves cannot speak‚ a lot can be learned from studying primary documents and artifacts. For thousands of years‚ historians have been using primary documents and artifacts to make inferences about the people‚ places‚ and events that surrounded the time period. In our study of the Rixford Cemetry‚ we were able to use primary documents and artifacts to make analyses about the surrounding area. There are many

Architectural Engineering There are 25 major specialties in engineering that are recognized by professional societies. In any one of those 25 specialties‚ the goal of the engineer is the same. The goal is to be able to come up with a cost effective design that aids people in the tasks they face each day. Whether it be the coffee machine in the morning or the roads and highways people travel‚ or even the cars people travel in‚ it was all an idea that started with an engineer. Someone engineered

RAPPEL A L’ORDRE: THE CASE FOR THE TECTONIC Kenneth Frampton Kenneth Frampton’s ‘Rappel a L’Ordre: The Case for the Tectonic’ identifies the issues in relation to the tectonic form‚ his intention is to make architecture step apart of just being part of a scenographic interpretation. The word tectonic is addressed from its different origins but overall referring to carpentry and its evolution into an aspect of poetry and art of construction. Tectonic objects are seen in two different forms;
