  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.

 Architecture
Architecture blends scientific knowledge and technological innovations with the humanistic sphere where they work and develop.
Those who intend to pursue this kind of study must be strongly motivated and must have a wide variety of interests regarding the beautiful, the practical and the useful in their technical humanistic and historical aspects.

 Stirling
Since 1981, he has completed a major social sciences center in Berlin; a Performing Arts Center for Cornell University; and such major museum projects as the Clore Gallery expansion for the Tate Gallery in London; the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, an addition to Harvard's Fogg Museum; and the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart, Germany.
Criticism of architecture in the public mind is broadly associated with sociological or material failure, and these spectres haunt the practice of architecture.
Architecture starts with the perception of the potentials of the problem and proceeds by selecting a path through the many possible options.

 Modernism
In architecture the Japanese inspired bungalow designs and small gardens of Charles and Henry Green are examples of the California style blended with the Arts and Crafts style (e.g., the Blacker and Gamble [1908-9] houses in Pasadena, California).
In the 1960s and 1970s some examples of modern architecture and landscape architecture had lost their appeal as the forms were being recycled in uninteresting ways.
Garden design and related scholarly activity became avant-garde, and the term green architecture was used as a substitute name for gardens and the landscape (the term green architecture currently relates to environmentally sound architecture).

 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.

 Handbook of Texas Online: ARCHITECTURE
During the Mexican period (1821-35), relatively little architectural progress was made beyond the construction of dwellings and some military work, although several new towns were established, including Bastrop (laid out in 1830), Liberty (founded in 1831), and Gonzales (founded in 1832).
Architectural motifs from many historic styles were combined in an eclectic fashion, with the Medieval Romanesque and Gothic vying with the Renaissance for popularity.
The architecture of the first half of the twentieth century reflects the growing unity of architectural expression throughout the United States.

 TrouserPress.com :: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Architecture and Morality struggles with new techniques, and includes two magnificent, ethereal hit singles: "Souvenir" and "Joan of Arc." OMD is again experimenting with sound and much of the album sounds more naturalistic than electronic.
All those years spent in the company of keyboards evidently left him fully able to make convincing percolating rhythms and layers of faux violins, and both get good use on what is a pretty stupid but diverting exercise.
Liberator is most agreeable if you can forget who's behind it — not that covering the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning" as if it were 1981 all over again and dropping in vintage OMD citations elsewhere make that any easier.
