CHICAGO AUDITORIUM BUILDING: THE INFLUENCE OF THE PAST AND PRESENT ON DESIGN CONCEPTION Chicago Auditorium building is one of the remarkable achievements of American architecture. The architects, Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, were one of the firsts to shape and establish the panache of American style of architecture, which moved away from the influences of European architecture order. Consequently, it was at the time of construction that the Americans are experiencing political division and social
thing, perfected Since its construction in 1927, Baldwin Auditorium has endured as the lovely and inspiring architectural anchor for East Campus. Its Jeffersonian dome and columns provided an inviting neoclassical façade for the classical, choral, and jazz music that was performed within. But Baldwin was built in an era with different expectations for performance acoustics, and after decades of service, it became apparent that the auditorium needed a major overhaul. This coincided with a university
I dreamt of walking on Commonwealth Ave. I envisioned myself entering the Morse Auditorium, books in hand, eager to learn. Ever since I had visited the eclectic city of Boston in 2006, I knew it was the right fit for me. I knew that the city itself, along with the remarkable academic resources that Boston University offers would allow me to grow socially and mentally. Until this day I ask questions on end from my comrades at the BU, impatient to learn more and more about their lives on and off campus
on the fine arts section of the Madison High School, especially the auditorium. It does get quite a bit of use between the four programs and other public events, so it has been worth its money spent on it. During these public events, many kinds of people come to see a good performance and be entertained, but people also go for other reasons, which affects the way that they act at these events. Description: Approaching the auditorium from outside, one can see clearly what is on the inside due to the
music concert at Glendale Community College Auditorium. The concert took place at 12:30 PM on May 1st, 2014, and I went to the affair with my friend who is also interested in music. Upon my arrival I would realize that the show was not going to be anything fancy, as it would be a free event that is open to the general public. The stage would change throughout each part of the performance, with the same setup of having the performers on stage. The auditorium was packed with students and their family
Roman Pantheon (c. AD 125) v. Macon Auditorium (ca.1900) In this project, we going to compare two historical building, the Roman Pantheon (c.AD 125) and the Macon Auditorium completed in 1925 (“Macon City Auditorium”). Although very recent in historical perspective, we did find fewer information about the latest building compare to the Roman Pantheon. In this project, we did find a striking resemblance between these two building, starting from the idea behind the project, the architectural concept
All across the world, music is a major part of daily lives. Different genres, instruments, languages, and rhythms may exist, but the fact that music brings people of different races and religion together remains untouched. The Grand Ole Opry, a show that began in Nashville, Tennessee, has brought millions of people together over the years. Whether a person is tuning in to the AM station, online, on the app, or enjoying a live show at the historic Grand Ole Opry House, all Opry listeners share the
The building's extreme geometry and spectacular interior have brought about international awareness and appreciation of its design. Following are two articles that examine and critique the building. One is "L'auditorium asimmetrico (Asymmetrical Auditorium)" from the architecture journal "Abitare." The other article is "Crazy Angles, Soaring Steel" by Thomas Lane from the architecture journal "Building." "L'auditorium asimmetrico" from the architecture journal "Abitare" briefly summarizes the Opera
speech in a large auditorium, even it has been well designed because the unamplified voice of the average person is generally inadequate to 'fill' the auditorium. Consequently, a person with even a minor hearing impairment may have considerable difficulty in listening to speech in large rooms. As a result, complaints concerning the poor acoustics of an auditorium may come from a person with slightly impaired hearing of which they are not even aware." (Vem O. Knudsen, 1978) Auditorium is an enclosed
collaborated on the design of the Bacardi Building. The Ocean Front auditorium, although not his best expression of the style, is known for being one of the few MiMo structures on the beach. It consists mainly of a smaller rectangular shape attached to a larger one. Originally, it was connected to the older Miami Beach Patrol building. It was first conceived as a community center for the elderly, but was later built as an auditorium. By the 1990’s it was repurposed and leased by the MDPL and it has
adult novel written by Marieke Nijkamp. It was originally published in 2016. The story is set at Opportunity High School, a fictional high school in a fictional town, Opportunity, Alabama. The entire story unfolds within the campus, mostly in the auditorium where an assembly takes place. The novel explains the terrifying events of a fifty-four-minute school shooting, exploring the themes of courage, grief, and resilience. "This is Where it Ends" is told from the perspectives of four different main
By suggesting that the auditorium was a "giant, quiet tomb,” Anaya creates a sense of foreshadowing of a death of a character that wouldn't be missed; therefore, having no visitors. Having the exit of the auditorium be described as a “big, empty hall,” Anaya has expanded the tomb to not just the school, but also Antonio’s escape route to his house. In Leonidas Beratis’ run, the red represents the path Antonio has set out on where he will inevitably come across blood and death which brings “moaning”
The Mundelein High School auditorium has staged more than 100 plays, musicals, and concerts. It just so happens to be that the school’s auditorium is my happy place. Mundelein High School’s theatre is where I feel content because: its history is rich, I’ve accomplished many things there, and those accomplishments have changed my life in extraordinary ways. Mundelein High School’s theatre is a place where the past lives on and where anything can happen. To begin with, in the scene shop and various
everybody to see the performance that they want to see, and disabled access is not very good because most theatres use steps. Another problem I have noticed is that during many shows, the orchestra overflow from the small orchestra pit into the auditorium surrounding it, due to the fact that they cannot all squeeze into the cramped space. During this project, I aimed to solve these problems by; 1. spacing the seating so that there is enough leg room for the audience to sit comfortably
instruments make. By understanding reverberation, which is the echoing of sound waves, early architects could better construct buildings and auditoriums that would produce better acoustics. An architect has two types of material he can use to modify a building to deal with reverberation and the quality of sound. In many buildings such as meeting halls and auditoriums where echoes are not wanted, absorption materials such as cork and felt are used to absorb reverberations. On the other hand, in buildings
Most of the people who were members of St. Patrick’s Parish were of Irish descent. Many of the families had lived in the United States for at least one generation. The newly arrived Slovak residents went to Holy Ghost Roman Catholic Church; the Poles went to St. Michael’s Roman Catholic Church. Other Eastern European immigrants went to Saints Cyril and Methodius Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and All Saints Russian Orthodox Church. Other speakers at the afternoon ceremony included the Pennsylvania
I picked the song “Pumped Up Kicks” by Foster the People. This song is about a school shooting, some people associate this song with the Columbine shooting incident that happened in April 20, 1999. While all the students were in the auditorium, Tyler went around and chained up all the doors that led back out to the hallway besides the one he used to get inside the adoration. Tyler is making comments stating he is thirsty, he then says, “All I ever asked for was a chance. A chance like
Attending a Jazz Concert The latest concert that I attended was the NEIU Jazz Ensemble. It was held in the NEIU auditorium. This was my first time attending a Jazz concert. Therefore, I didn’t know what kind of music to expect or any music that I was familiar to. This concert was a new experience for me. It was far different from a rock concert held in some big venue. The purpose of this concert was to give people a taste of the NEIU Jazz Ensemble. The heritage or the background
of what lay just inside the auditorium doors. Professor Marx-93 stood on the front step of the auditorium, trying, unsuccessfully, to hush the loud buzz of student murmurs. "Today, you will make the biggest decisions of your life. Your career path will determine how the rest of your life pans out, so choose carefully. You can only make the decision once. Good luck," Professor Marx-93 stepped aside, letting the large group of students begin filing into the auditorium. Holly-241 lagged behind, making
Introduction In the year 1919 a design and architecture school was formed called the ‘Bauhaus’ (V.Ryan.2010). It is a German word, which means ‘house of architecture’, from Bau ‘building’ + Haus ‘house’ (oxford dictionaries). The first division of School of Bauhaus was built in Weimar in the year 1919.In that the craftsman and artists taught school students a foundation course for six months. The second division of the school was opened in 1925 and was appreciated by the mayor of Dessau, as
