Assignment #4 - Architecture

1.


2. I absolutely love South Quadrangle. I walk by it every day on my way to class and can't help but admire it every time. The Ionic columns are noticeable right away, since the top of the column is curled and more detailed than the Doric columns, but not nearly as ornate as the Corinthian columns. The building also features arches however, seen in the center of the photograph in between the staircases and beneath the level that features the columns.

3. The building is definitely a Greek revival, which the ionic columns and the multiple pediments clearly reveal, but there is also a slight Art Nouveau feel to it. The glass windows that make up the arch at the base and top of the building, allow the building, which has such a Greek feel to it, to become slightly more modern. I love everything about South Quadrangle, because the architecture is so admirable.
