Lutyens and Modernism For this semester’s research and writing assignment I would like you find a building by the English designer Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens that you admire (pronounced LUTCH-ens). This is an individual who I touched on only briefly in class and is someone I would like you to be more familiar with. To start with, make sure you choose a building you like.  I would say ‘love’ instead of ‘like’ but I know some of you do not necessarily care for the work of his period.  But, even if you are not a fan of his work, you – as a designer – can always find something in his body of extraordinary work to admire.  The building does not need to still exist. The goal of this research paper is to familiarize yourself thoroughly with the building, describe it and then discuss how it fits into the larger context of Modernism. Here are some things the paper must contain: Images and drawings of the building including: a plan, sourced from your research, of at least the main floor;…

The Industrial Revolution and Late Neoclassicism Introduction The crystal palace was a structure built in Hyde Park, London. It was made of cast iron and glass. It was built during the great exhibition of 1851. A lot of people then traveled to come to this exhibition. Question 1 The introduction of glass to this building enticed them even more to using glass for the structure. Thus the area covering the whole structure was more of glass. It has transparent walls and ceilings such that they did not require any lighting. This marked the beginning of modernization when it comes to building designs. The modern architectural design can be traced back to this building. Paxton was responsible for the design of the crystal palace. At the time of its construction, it was one of the most significant buildings made of glass. Today, glass structures are commonly used. Most of the amusement parks and museums have this design. A structure that has been made out of glass has been dramatically accepted the society. The society has gone a notch higher to construct…

Economists pose that the spread of the Pandemic viral disease is likely to cause an economic recession if not addressed in good time. Business institutions as well as governments are hit with shock and fear. Economists, for instance, have made forecast that China is likely to suffer a great deal of economic loss from the outbreak of the Pandemic.

The Fang People The Fang, also known as the Pahouin, majorly occupy the Northern Gabon and Southern Cameroon. In Gabon, the Fang is the largest ethnic group, and they constitute 85% of the Gabonese population. With their origin being central Cameroon, the Fang are recent immigrants into Equatorial Guinea with their major relocation occurring in the nineteenth century. The Fang people are considered the primary victims of the historic transatlantic and trans-Saharan slave trade that occurred between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. During this period, the slave traders and missionaries stereotyped the Fang people as cannibals due to the human skulls that were discovered in boxes around their villages. As a result, the oppressors used the cannibalism claim as a reason to discriminated and enslaved them; however, later, ethnologists discovered that the skull was a symbol of religious reverence for their loved ones who were dead. The fang people are connected through the lineage and a matrilineal kinship societal structure. Usually, they practice Bwiti, a popular monotheistic ritual that involves days of dancing and celebration (Aniakor, 1996). Their artwork, which…

THE AZTEC PALACE Introduction             The Aztecs palace as a museum object can directly be linked to the prosperity and civilization that took place on an initially small group of nomads that later on spread out to build an empire. The Aztecs were ancient hunters and gatherers often migrating, who initially occupied the northern parts of the Mexican arid areas, they later drifted south and occupied the Mexican valley in the early 1300s. The valley was a mountain basin over 7000 feet above sea level. Believed to have existed during the Mesoamerican period. The Aztecs integrated both hunting and gathering as their economic activities. They would later resort to farming full time and hunting as a supplementary activity. After settling, they gradually expanded their kingdom through their robust warriors. Neighboring territories were attacked and commoners killed, the opponents’ warriors were captured and brought to work on their farms and later used as human sacrifice whenever needed[1]. All these occurrences can be linked to a well-structured political and religious setting with a strong king. The Aztecs’ palace as a political civilization…
