The Main Buildings and Change In Their Use Over Time
The buildings in the surrounding area of the canal will help us find
out how the canal system affected the lives of the people and the
landscape of the villages of stoke bruerne.
The first building I came across was the Brick Built House. This
building is made up of brick and wood. Looking from the front it looks
old and derelict. It is now used as a private house but looks very
abandoned. This building used to be the lock keepers cottage. This
could have been helpful and reliable because it was right near the
locks, however it is not totally reliable because things have changed,
for example the door has been replaced and there was an Ariel on the
roof.
The next building was The Small White Hut. This building is made from
brick and wood and there is plastic guttering. This little hut is now
used as a storage room for British waters, it used to be a leggers
cottage. Leggers were people who laid on the boats and pushed the boat
through the tunnel using there legs and feet. the leggers cottage is
now used as a storage room because leggers are no longer needed as
horsepower replaced them.
The next building was The Boat Inn. The building is made from brick
and glass windows, there are also signs hanging outside the building.
The Boat Inn is now a Pub Restaurant; 150 years ago the Boat Inn was
the same but was also used as a Butchers and Barbershop. The Boat Inn
used to be mainly used by traders, but nowadays is mainly used by the
tourists because over the years a lot of the trade was lost, so there
wasn't a lot of traders' passing through the area to use the Boat Inn.

... source, it has stayed the same through
the years, and the only change made to the canal was the turning point
for the tourists' day trip boats. The Blisworth tunnel although it has
tried to collapse it has remained the same. All the sources are good
evidence of the past. They are only bad sources of evidence when they
have been changed, for example the lock or the restaurant and bar.
Overall I think Stoke Bruerne Museum was the only place that gave all
the information about the past; this was because it had information
about everything. Although stoke bruerne as a whole was one big
museum, it is not totally reliable because some areas have changed. In
some aspects stoke bruerne is a good source of evidence to find out
about the past, but due to tourism changes it cannot be that reliable
to find out some information.
Although preservation is not a new concept and been practiced for centuries, designating historic landmarks, structures and buildings as historically significant and preserving them is a new phenomena, which brings us to a fairly straight forward question of what to preserve and what not to. The advent of new materials and advancement of construction technologies changed the style of building significantly from time to time, especially over the course of last two centuries. Although the basic construction materials like brick, wood, lime and stone are in use for centuries, the recent addition of concrete, steel and glass to that list completely overhauled the mode in which the buildings are being built. Taking into account the need, the scale and the pace of construction posed by rapid industrialization, the style of building took an unprecedented form of architecture starting in early twentieth century.
The lower class of London were regular drinkers, not social drinkers though, they just wanted to get drunk fast to escape the pain of the difficult lives. It was introduced to England after the arrival of William and Mary from the Netherlands in 1688.This gin business was a part of economic plan of the government, so that they could create the demand for surplus grain. The first engraving I have chosen to examine is called "Beer Street". On Beer Street everyone seems happy, healthy and hard-working. Seem to be refreshing themselves with a drink of beer while they are at leisure.
Jack Daniels Distillery has overcome several obstacles over the years. In the early 1900’s it was forced to shut down its distillery in Lynchburg and move to St.
The Capitol building was overall the building in Colonial Williamsburg with the most important events that occurred, and the most political talk going on. It was used often by the House of Burgesses, therefore being useful in the event of war or politics. People should commemorate the Capitol Building in Colonial Williamsburg for its importance to the people back then, now, and its connection to the Colonial Williamsburg motto, “The future may learn from the past.”
Historic districts have evolved from the preserving a single house at a time, to the preserving of districts and neighborhoods. This practice eventually led up to the comprehensive application of the discipline. Historic Preservation came from a special place, a place that helps us to remember our history.
The United States was very much a rural state in the past and it took us a long time to change and become an urban majority than a rural one. The United States began shifting from rural to urban around 1910 through 1920 and surprisingly is still shifting to this day. Rural culture is nothing to be looked down upon but the benefits from urban areas outweigh the rural in many aspects. Without the rise of urbanization we would not be the colony and superpower we are today.

In modern time, traveling by boat is very much easy, and most people prefer it now for vacations and long trips through the sea.What most of us would recognize and identify this as a cruz. Though we have evolved, traveling by boat wasn't always so pleasant for many in the past. In the early 10th century when the European’s started traveling to the America, it was a struggle to travel by boat. It was hard to survive the voyage over seas for a several reasons according to Gottlieb Mittelberger.
The reason for this piece is to attempt a comparison between two architectural examples that employ classical design from different stylistic eras of architectural history. The two styles I've chosen to discuss are the Renaissance and Baroque periods. An understanding of classical architecture needs to be made, as it is the fundamental style of any period that developed architecturally

There have been many significant movements throughout urban planning history which have influenced the way that planning theory is shaped and thought. Combined Modernist and Neoliberal planning theories have influenced the erection of a vast amount of planning project that have left an imprint on the way that urban planning is practiced today. In this paper, I will begin by describing the components of modernist and neoliberal planning practices. Then, I will outline a brief history of the project and explain how the Los Angeles South Central Farm was influenced by both modernist and neoliberal planning theories. Lastly, I will analyze this project through two different critical perspectives, neo-Marxism and critical race planning. These critical perspectives will enable us to understand the planning practices that were implemented in this project and will helps us explain the planning theories achievements and failures in this case study.
What makes modern architecture? Before answering this, one would need to understand what the term “modern” exactly describes. In architecture, modernism is the movement or transition from one period to another, and it is caused by cultural, territorial, and technological changes happening in the world. In Kenneth Frampton’s Modern Architecture: A Critical History, he details these three major societal changes that impact and create modern architecture.
Have you ever seen or visited the Capital building, Washington or amphitheater of Arlinton, Virginia or Cabin John bridge of Washington aqueduct? If an answer is yes, then have you ever think that how we come up with this type of buildings? These all buildings’ basic structures are based on the Greek and Roman cultures’ architecture. Historical records of Western culture in Europe begin with Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Roman culture was very inspired from the Greece culture and they had used very basic ideas to build buildings and temples, to portrait sculpture. They modernized and improved their architectures and sculptures in decorative way and made a separate image in the world.
