ARCHITECTURE SLIDE 41

This building has a tremendous amount of geometry. Look at the columns, the cones, the triangular prisms, and rectangular prisms, and truncated triangular prisms.

Notice how the arched windows on the third floor set that part off and create more of a sense of elegance.

Notice also, the different colored brick and the use of stone as an architectural detail method. Contrasting color in building materials can set off parts of a building dramatically.

We particularly like all those little things that look like witch hats on the roofs. They make the whole building look very "pointy".

Slides: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 , 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 , 46, 47, 48, 49, 50 , 51
