 Log House Architecture in the Eighteenth-Century Virginia Piedmont
This paper therefore surveys architectural history research on log house construction methods and plans in the Virginia Piedmont and surrounding regions to ascertain whether the construction of this Loudoun Valley house can be associated with a particular ethnic group.
An extensive array of architectural history studies address the question of the sources of design and construction methods used in many forms of log house construction in the American colonial period.
Despite variations, the surviving buildings form a coherent group that is recognizably distinct from the contemporary house forms of the other ethnic groups in the region, and that is indicative of the separate nature of Germanic culture in eighteenth-century Virginia.

 About Bernini and the Art of Architecture | Abbeville Press
The architecture of Bernini's Rome was largely shaped in the second half of the sixteenth century.
Both of these churches were controlled in the smallest detail and developed in plan and elevation by this genius mason, carver, ironmonger, and architect.
What neither of his most important contemporaries could boast was the fame Bernini enjoyed already in his teenage years under the auspices of Paul V. Undeflected by the estimable talents and aspirations of these architects, Bernini enjoyed a level of professional protection that neither Borromini nor Cortona could call upon.

 About Emerson Baker
Having its origins in prehistoric times, the earthfast architectural practices employed in the Americas in the seventeenth century were directly descended from English peasant homes of the High Middle Ages.
In the early seventeenth century an earthfast tradition still lingered in some parts of England; however, it was clearly considered an inferior form of construction that had largely given way to framed structures that sat on stone pads or foundations (Dyer 1986).
If semi-subterranean houses can be found in the architectural record of both the Chesapeake and Maine, perhaps it is not surprising to find other forms of earthfast buildings in both regions.

In the 1630s the realistic style seen in his famous Apotheosis of St. Thomas Aquinas (1631; Seville) yields to a more mystical expression in works such as the Adoration of the Shepherds (1638; Grenoble); in this decade he was influenced by Ribera's figural types and rapid brushwork.
While in Seville, ZurburAn was clearly influenced by VelAzquez.
