	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Saltcellar of Francis I
		The saltcellar of King Francis I of France was made by Florentine sculptor Benvenuto Cellini in the early 1540s.
		Although Cellini also did larger sculpture in bronze, he was first a goldsmith.
		In his Autobiography, Cellini wrote that the two figures in this piece were “fashioned like a woman with all the beauty of form, the grace and charm, of which my art was capable.” The piece is 26 by 33.3 cm (10.25 by 13.1 in) and is now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna, Austria.

	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Cynthia Kristan-Graham
		The three architectural features discussed above–colonnaded halls, sunken patios, and pyramid enclosure walls–probably have their origin as an architectural unit or set in the Bajío or another area of North México.
		I am not suggesting that Tula Grande was comprised of a majority of North Mexican architectural elements; rather, the apparent Northern features are fundamental to the plan and symbolism of the Tula Grande plaza, and we need to scrutinize the cultural connection between the two.
		Architecture, perhaps more than imagery, tends to be closely related to how people act and think in cognitive and symbolic terms.

	La Serena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The town has retained its historic architecture and this, along with a selection of beaches (known as Avenida del Mar, "Sea's Avenue"), has caused the city to become a significant tourist centre.
		Its traditional architecture consists of a series of housing and public buildings, of late 19th-century vintage, built with wood from the US state of Oregon brought to Chile as counterweight in sailing vessels coming to Coquimbo, the nearby port, to load copper and other minerals for transport back to the US.
		This oregon pine, and the use of adobe create the genuine image of the city.

	Moundville Archaelogical Museum - An Archaelogical Sketch of Moundville
		The immediate area appears to have been thickly populated, containing a few very small single-mound centers just before the creation of the public architecture of the great plaza and erection of the palisade about A.D. However, by about A.D. 1350, Moundville seems to have undergone a change in use.
		Although the first Europeans reached the Southeast in the 1540s, the precise ethnic and linguistic links between Moundville's inhabitants and what became the historic Native American tribes are still not well understood.
		Vernon James Knight, Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alabama, is the Museum's Curator of Southeastern Archaeology.

		These crafted architectural elements may speak to us of the 1920s or even the 1540s and therefore seem to be references to the past, but the fact remains that craft production is extraordinarily active today.
		Prior to modernist architecture, the size of a structure was generally balanced by some element that was handcrafted and personal in scale.
		While not integrated into the architecture or public space as was the craftsperson’s inclusion in premodernist architecture, these works spoke to our desire for the place to include evidence of human activity.

	Huautla, an early mission in Oaxaca. Espadaña Press
		Despite its obscurity, Huautla is of architectural note for its unusual early church, which is designed in a style traditionally associated with the Franciscans rather than that favored by the Dominicans, who missionized most of Oaxaca.
		Modest in most other respects, the church is outstanding for its carved stone facade, whose medieval Isabelline style and mudéjar forms recall early Franciscan church fronts in Puebla and Tlaxcala the doorways at Huejotzingo, Tepeaca and Tecamachalco have a family resemblance instead of the grander, Renaissance-inspired Plateresque style usually favored by the Dominicans.
		It may be that Franciscans from Huejotzingo or Tehuacán evangelized San Miguel Huautla and built the church in the 1540s or '50s before relinquishing it to the secular arm in the 1560s.

		Although some forms, especially window and door styles, could be reproduced in brick, stone or timber, other elements of decoration were greatly affected by the material in which they were executed.
