Built of stone and with stone roofing, the Temple of Luxor required closely spaced columns to support the short span of stone lintels. The interiors were passages, chambers or large rooms called hypostyle halls filled with round stone columns.
The most admired of Doric temples from the era of Pericles when classical Greece was at the height of its power and success. The building is now partially ruined, but still striking in its beauty.
The nave of this cathedral uses the many ribbed system of stone vaulting known as fan vaulting for its similarity to the forms of palm leafed fans.
Charles Lebrun was the the prime designer of the interior detail of the Galerie Des Glaces. The simple basic design of this huge gallery was given it elaborate character by the many mirrors along one wall, which reflect the view of the garden through the opposite windows.
This elegantly curving staircase dominates the room while the walls are covered with pictorial wall paper imported from Europe and illustrating the legend of Ulysses son Telemachus.
The living and dining spaces of this Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 - 1959) house occupy a continuous space,with only the massive fireplace-chimney forming a separating screen. Color comes from the natural wood, brick and other materials. Electric lighting fixtures of Wright’s unique design are present on each side of the ceiling.
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 - 1959) the house is built over a waterfall and the main living room opens to a deck cantilevered over the stream and falls. The use of natural material determines the color of the room. The built in furniture is of Wright’s design although some of the other furniture is not.
