Salvador Dali The Persistence Of Memory

In Rasmussen’s Experiencing Architecture, the author differentiates architecture from sculpture through utility. Therefore, the eye-catching curvilinear shapes of the hall’s exterior are more than bizarre geometric shapes. Surrounded by an urban setting, the concert hall’s undulating contours invigorates the cultural atmosphere of downtown Los Angeles. Spectators feel free to creatively interpret its ambiguous and novel shapes; whether the curves represent the crashes and clashes of orchestra or the frenzied hand gestures of the conductor, the concert hall ultimately reshapes the cultural landscape of LA as a unique architectural statement. Additionally, the materials used to construct the hall are stainless steel panels that hover above an asymmetrical band of glazing at the building’s base.

Dale piece the Persian ceiling is a beautiful piece the bright colors and the unusually shaped objects are just breath taking some pieces where flattened out and many of the shapes resemble jellyfish and other sea animals and it’s so amazing because it’s all glass nothing else. The glass used in the Persian are small, dense, and rare core-formed vessels that appeared during 1500B.C. in Egypt and again in 1300B.C. in Mesopotamia. Another pieces that I admire is the sculpture honoring Harriet Wyche. The sculpture is made of rose-colored Polyvitro, a material that Chihuly Studio creates by casting a special formula of polymer resins and dyes using molds formed from large “chunks” of glass. The Polyvitro elements are crystal-like in shape, and individual masses are attached to a central armature of powerful-coated, exterior-grade stainless steel to create a tower that is over eight feet tall.

Consequently, the civilization is not as ingenious and advanced as we were precedent. The story's main character referred to as John, (son of a priest) was on an expedition to become a “man” (also a priest). The rules that were fundamental are simply as follows: never go east and cross the river. The reason being is that the gods, (as referred to in the story, they were just humans with knowledge) lived there. John was patiently lingering for a sign to unravel where he should go so he can commence his journey.

Bok Tower Is the Elysian of the Gardens Margarita Garcia HUM 2020-76533-Introduction to Humanities Professor G. Moore March 5, 2018 Abstract Unique architectural design has faded into a modern look in Polk County Florida. However, the Gothic style creeped into our community and was incorporated into the design of an old building still standing in Lake Wales, it is the Bok Tower of Bok Tower Gardens. Lake Wales, Florida is about 4,581 miles from Ile-de-France region of France where the Gothic style originated from.

Morse allotted tons of time to perfect his invention because he wanted to make sure that it was ready to be presented before the public. Samuel Morse’s next step was to gain the interest of the government to help him with the funds to test and finish his invention. He spent two sessions with Congress trying to get them the bill to help him with his invention, but the answer did not look

The Norton Museum of Art in Miami is a famous art museum that has showcases, preserves and uses artistic works to educate the masses about the culture, norms, values, beliefs and religions of the people of the world. The Norton Museum of Art is a non-profit interactive visual arts museum that hosts permanent and temporary exhibits along with receptions, workshops, educational programs and gallery talks. Special events are also held at the museum and there is a Museum Store with an amazing collection of books, artist greeting cards, jewelry, postcards, fine art prints etc. Museums have also been important for societies because they have played an important role in fabricating societies. Art museums display the achievements of man and his aspirations.

There is 3 levels to the Museum, the first level has Native American Art , Chinese Art , American Art. The Second level has Japanese Art ,Asian Export Art, and the East India Marine Hall which contains the original display cases and the very first objects collected. The Third level was Indian Art. I learned many things and took a lot of pictures, it was a great

Shafter says that ‘the revered many branched coral tree … had been a gift from Chao T’o of Nam-Viet’. According to the Han Wudi gushi (Precedents of the Emperor Wu of Han), a temple in the garden had a fabulous tree built to imitate the mythical trees of Mount Kunlun: ‘In the front courtyard stood a jade tree, created by fashioning branches from coral and leaves from green jade. Its flowers and fruits, some green and others red, were made of pearls and jade; the fruits were all hollowed like little bells to make tinkling sounds.’ Later tomb art from the AD c. 1st - 2nd century Han dynasty, features a model earthenware fish-pond with miniature clay tree. The link between such objects and the shape of red coral is speculative, however given the longevity of visual concepts in China, it is plausible that there was at least a visual, if not idealogical, connection between the use of clay trees in a bowl, and the later practise of ‘planting’ coral trees in miniature landscapes in the eighteenth and nineteenth

The X-15 had a G limit, helped accelerate plains beyond the gravity five times the force on Earth (Byers, 2004). This acceleration could lead to disorientation, dizziness, blackouts, or loss of control of the X-15 (Byers, 2004). Armstrong would be the first to test the X-15, unfortunately he lost control of the plan and did not have the controls to steer the plane back to Earth’s atmosphere (Byers, 2004). Lucky he was able to stay calm and land the aircraft safely, many people would have panicked and lost complete

Plate weighed 750 Grams in total. The plate also seemed to be black. The significance in this artifact is that it is seemed to be “the steel known to man.” That is huge because it seemed to be years and years before what was thought of at the time. The iron seemed to be left in the Great Pyramids so that it could not be asserted.

It struck with winds up to 140 mph. Although the hurricane created substantial damage, the aftermath had fatal consequences. The levees that were supposed to withhold a Category 3 hurricane in turn failed and about 50 breaches were created. The 50 breaches were the result of failed construction, neglect of upkeep. The City of New Orleans local & federal legislation should supply the money in order to secure the well being of the city.

One simple mistake can cost you five years in federal prison and $250,000 fine. Steven Lopez-Bender now learned to not mysteriously wave a green laser from an apartment window. Currently is in court put on trial for his case A helicopter pilot noticed the laser while 1,000 feet in the air. As the helicopter was going to land it was hit a fourth time. Since October twelve out of 5,352 lasers have been struck in New Jersey.

Here at the University of Florida, the field of wind engineering is a subject to which a lot of research and manpower is dedicated, particularly concerning hurricanes and the large wind loads associated with them. These powerful storms are generally associated with the eastern and gulf coasts of North America, but they can and do form elsewhere. Hawaii, surrounded by the cold waters of the Pacific Ocean, is not typically associated with hurricane activity, but in September of 1992 the island state was struck by Hurricane Iniki. Within a lifespan of a little more than a week, Iniki was able to completely change the relationship Hawaii had with Hurricanes by battering the islands with strong winds and exposing the complacency fostered by years of mild hurricane seasons. In the years to come, this storm was to serve as the basis for Hawaii’s push to better prepare for potential storms and avoid another disaster of this magnitude.

Hurricane Joaquin manifested in the Atlantic Ocean on September 27 and made its way to the Eastern United States, constantly growing in size and intensity. The hurricane eventually reached the strength of a category four hurricane with wind speeds up to a 155 mph, only two mph shy from becoming a category five hurricane (Hurricane Joaquin Recap, 2015). Though many meteorologists suspected that the hurricane would make landfall in the mainland United States, it made a drastic turn to Bermuda, but, in turn, sent a low pressure system through all of South Carolina sending down torrential rainfall starting on October 1, 2015 (Hurricane Joaquin Recap, 2015). The rain continued through October 6, 2015, breaking precipitation records throughout South Carolina causing massive flooding in Charleston, Columbia, Myrtle Beach, and other surrounding cities. Charleston received 16.33” amount of rain in a period of five days, from October 1 to October 5, while Myrtle Beach received 15.5”, shattering both previous records for rainfall (Wiltgen, 2015).

1) Before lab this week, Pat and I worked on fabricating the rest of the bill side. We were suggested by Jen to keep working and to test the current design before started drilling hole to another set of dowels. Because the holes were not centered, we had to attached them accordingly to the frame instead of all at one. We constructed the conveyor belt using duct tape as a temporarily method for testing. Also, the holes that we drilled were too tight for the smaller dowels, so we decided to sand them down.
