Homework 14 Blog
I was considering all the types of design that is taught and realized that I have not included architectural design. I have chosen two historic buildings that are considered to have "classical" design.
The first image is the Taj Majal, the tomb of a Mogul empress in India. It is considered to have such "harmony and fluidity that it stands as one of man's greatest achievements."
This second image is of the Empire State Building in New York City. Which was so well designed that it was easily repaired after a bomber crashed into it in 1945, and is considered the "world's iconic urban tower, a skyscraper's skyscraper." (Quotes are taken from "Wonder's of the World," LIFE, The Classical Collection, 2009.)
