After all, architects typically constructed the projects to include a diverse possibility of uses, while tenements merely sought to maximize tenants. Bauman et. al. describe the Richard Allen Homes as matching the style of the surrounding North Philadelphia buildings and featuring “a community building, housing management offices, workshops, a nursery, an auditorium, and grassy courts planted with trees and shrubbery” (Bauman et. al. 274).
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. First, are the necessary facts to be familiar with regarding the two homes. Thomas Jefferson was the architect of his own home, Monticello, located outside Charlottesville, VA. It is important to note that this home was built in two phases, with initial construction of the first phase beginning before the Revolution in 1768, and the house being completely finished with the second
Comparison between the Trinity Church and the Massachusetts State House Architecture refers to the process of planning, designing and construction of various structures such as building. The works of architecture can be seen as the cultural symbols as well as art-works. There are many historic civilizations and are mostly identified with the ability to survive the architectural achievements. History of Architecture Architecture has been in existence for a long period of time. Through the history of architecture, one is able to trace the changes that have occurred in architecture (Dowing 2012).
In Colonial Williamsburg there are many significant architectures. Buildings such as the Bruton Parish Church, Governor’s Palace, the Capitol, and the Magazine all had a big contribution in Virginia's history.

He believed that the absence of important buildings and architectural sophistication in American society would undermine social authority. Overall the building connects America with the past but also portrays Thomas Jefferson’s hope
The postwar years became a time of experimental architecture and a desire to leave the past behind and push boundaries in terms of design. One of the focal points became site-specific building, creating contemporary architecture that uses readily available materials and attempts to work with the landscape, rather than against, this has become an integral part of Australian architecture. The Jack House and the Stamp House, are two examples of different exploratory approaches of building within the landscape. The Jack house, built in 1956 by Russell and Pamela Jack is an example of mid twentieth century Australian architectural thinking and practice, combining where modernist architecture with a humanist touch and respect for the natural conditions
The discussion of Agathocles strengthens the argument made by Machiavelli in The Prince. The argument at had is that a leader is there to make the difficult decisions that his subjects cannot make properly, decisions where the end justifies the means. While doing so, not worrying about being liked or loved, but worrying about being feared and respected.

‘’The responsible for much of the reconstruction were the architects of the Chicago School; some of the most prominent architects were L. Henry Sullivan and William LeBaron Jenney. These architects considered almost visionaries applied to architecture engineering principles and managed to raise the first skyscraper replacing the traditional wooden structures and brick by frames of cement. ’’ After the fire a larger Chicago emerged. Today, Chicago is a culturally diverse and dynamic city, and an international center for business and leisure due in part to the availability of the city through transportation.
The author use of the title “Cathedral” was misleading at first. “Cathedral” is about a husband who had an interesting experience with his wife’s blind friend. The narrator, also known as the husband, had difficulty understanding other people thoughts and personal feelings. The narrator knew how important the blind man is to his wife, yet he still makes careless jokes about him. “Maybe I could take him bowling” was a comment made by the narrator after finding out that the blind man was staying over his house.
The development of modern day architecture is very fascinating. Even though it has a very significant difference to architecture in the past, it still has many similarities. Many famous buildings we have today still show the same basic designs. For example, the Lincoln Memorial is very similar to the Parthenon.
Frank Lloyd Wright was famous and modern architect in the early 1900s, and was the student of Louis Sullivan another famous architect well known as “the father of skyscrapers”.

New designs have been adopted since the onset of architecture, and thus, with the concentration of a history of architecture, new phenomenon and innovations are realized that would help in further explanation and address of other necessities in the same sector. A concentration in the History of architecture and landscape architecture as a course incorporates more than one element of
