For this architectural comparison, I will be going deep into the comparing and contrasting of two iconic American homes, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and President Donald Trump’s Mar a Lago Florida home. Although these two beautiful homes serve the same primary function, they are intrinsically different, as seen through their history and rich architectural styles.

Versailles I. “You gaze, and stare, and try to understand…” quoted Mark Twain. The vast architecture of Versailles has silenced many with its history and astonishing views. Many see the beauty of the castle today and can hardly imagine the troubled land that was once there. Like Saint-Simon who saw Versailles before its growth, he said Versailles is” the gloomiest, most thankless place without a view.” It all started as a small cottage constructed by King Louis XIII in 1623.

She insists that if you intend to use money as a motivator for a child’s schooling; consequently, they’re not interested in learning anyway. Mccready shows a numerous number of reasons how students would expect to be entitled to a payment for little effort. Mccready fails to emphasize enough that providing a monetary reward enables the students to focus and study in class.
Annually, millions of people travel to northern France to view the grand and pompous Baroque style of the Palace of Versailles’s Hall of Mirrors. Built in 1698 during the reign of Louis XIV, the Palace of Versailles stood for over 100 years as “the primary residence of the kings of France and the seat of the government,” and in 1979, the Palace of Versailles and its gardens were decreed a World Heritage site by the UNESCO. An examination of the Palace’s Hall of Mirrors will reveal a dramatic use of light, symmetry, large-scale frescoes, a shell for painting, sculpture, and stucco, and an opulent use of rich color and accessories common to a French Baroque-style interior. Louis XII (r. 1610 - 1643) used the initial residence as a hunting lodge and retreat for his family, and in 1624, he commissioned Jacques Lemercier to build a chateau on the site, which remains as “the exterior façade overlooking the Marble Court.” From 1661 to 1710, Louis XIV oversaw the residential transformation of the majestic complex surrounded by gardens.
After doing that for a while, Wolfe decided in 1905 on becoming a professional decorator (Munhall, 1999). Soon enough Wolfe came in contact with architect Stanford White who got Wolfe the commission to do the decoration in the city’s first only women’s club called “The Colony Club” located on Madison and 31st Street. When the Colony opened in 1907, what really got people talking about Wolfe style was the indoor garden pavilion. Wolfe introduced a casual, feminine style with an abundance of glazed chintz, tiled floors, light draperies, pale walls, wicker chairs, clever vanity tables, and the first of her many trellised rooms (Munhall, 1999). Over the next six years, Wolfe designed interiors for many esteemed private homes, clubs and businesses on the East and West coasts.
In their colonial stay of fewer than 100 years in old Saigon, the French left behind a rich architectural heritage reflecting shifting trends from the Second Empire and Third Republic to, even later, art deco and Le Corbusier. With high ceilings and fans, louvered doors and windows, the colonial buildings were ideally suited to Vietnam’s muggy climate. By the 1930s, the French had developed a unique Indo-Chinese architecture, fusing Western and Asian elements, a style reflected in the Vietnam History Museum and the botanical gardens. They also created broad, tree-lined boulevards and dense, walkable side
Mount Rushmore features the faces of four highly regarded leaders: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln’s faces are blasted onto the side of mountains, desecrating mountains held in high regard to the Indigenous nations and even held sacred to most. This importance is relevant to people that believe that the United States’ presidents are the ultimate good in society. This idea is repeated on U.S. currency, history books, street names, other monuments, and many other places. However, there are some people that believe that these presidents are not as admirable as they seem. Native Americans have dealt with the oppression of these so-called leaders since the very first president took office.
