The three stories are then topped by a classical style cornice (Murrary, 69). The cornice itself is approximately 10 feet high.

The Glasgow School of Art is constructed primarily out of wood, iron, and glass. Inside, their are studios, a lecture theater, a library
What is architecture? Is it the practice of designing or rather the art of designing buildings? Is architecture the necessity of shelter? If so, then when did humanity transcend living in caves and progress on to communal living as seen in the remains of Catalhoyuk? Humanity did not stop the progression of architecture at communal living; architecture continued to evolve to accommodate the ever increasing needs of humanity. Has architecture existed since the days that humanity resided in caves and

Is South African Architecture based on an international architecture? South African architecture is known for its influences from countries such as France and Germany which have contributed to the iconic international architectural landscape still present throughout the country today. One such example is the Sanlam Plaza by Theunissen and Jankowits architects in Bloemfontein.

New York City has been called “the greatest city in the world” numerous times by its own people and visitors to the city. New York is civilization’s greatest world within a city. It gives the overpowering impression of being a magnet and mirror for all of humanity and all that humanity does. For a city so young, New York is home to number of architectural classics.

“Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson is a story about the transition from life to death. It begins with death stopping to accompany her on her journey to the afterlife. Throughout this poem the reader follows the speaker through different stages of life, through death, and into the other side where she looks back upon her journey. Each of the stages have purpose, and a well defined meaning. The first reference to death is made in the first line in which she refers to death in the

She also gave us a description of the house of death, which was “A swelling of the ground, The roof was scarcely visible, The Cornice in the ground”. Yet Whitman used more descriptions in his poem. He described the fields of Ohio’s villages in autumn and their beauty. He described the “apples ripe”, the “grapes on the trellis’d vines”, “the sky so calm, so transparent after
‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them’- William Shakespeare’. What makes a poet great? Is it that they make you laugh every time you read their work? Or maybe you can relate your life to the poems they write. In my opinion, to me a great poet is someone who writes a poem which affects many generations of readers, makes you think about what they have written, allows you to be able to visualise the words you’re reading and is able to make you get lost
Death is really a hard pill for people to swallow. It can come at any time and any moment. A person may never know when it is their time to leave earth. In the earlier centuries, death is something poets would talk about a lot. However, Dickinson speaks on death in a different way. In the poem “Because I could not stop for death”, the speaker is reflecting on her life before she dies unexpectedly on her carriage ride to the grave yard. “One reason for why death is so bound by formal manners in this

These lines use imagery to describe her grave, “The Roof was scarcely visible-The Cornice-in the Ground-” (lines 19-20). A cornice is the pointed part of the roof. The speaker seems calm even though she knows she's about to die and be buried. Centuries have passed, “Since then-’tis Centuries-and yet Feels shorter than the Day” (lines 21-22) but it feels
