1 like•602 views
Roman villas were rural farm estates located outside of towns where landowners and their families lived. The villas were divided into three parts - the urban part where the owner lived, the commercial part for storage, and the rustic part where workers and animals lived. In the urban part, the owner would relax in the baths which had separate rooms for changing, cold baths, warm baths, and hot baths. The kitchen was where slaves cooked meals and the courtyard had a hole in the roof to collect rainwater.

Victorian Farmhouse
The Victorian farmhouse was designed to look like it had been in the neighborhood for over 100 years by using engineered lap siding and cedar shake. The garage was made to resemble a carriage house with rear doors and covered porch. Stairs in the back of the house provide access between floors and views of the yard. Detailed trim work throughout gives the home Victorian charm.

Pisa slo team
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is located in Pisa, Italy and is 55.86 meters high. Construction began in 1173 and was not completed until 1370. The tower leans because the ground underneath is too soft. It has leaned as much as 4.5 meters but currently leans at a 3.9 degree angle or 4.1 meters. The tower serves as the bell tower for the cathedral and is one of the oldest structures in the city.
Pantheon, Rome v 3
The document summarizes key details about the Pantheon in Rome, including that it was built between 118-125 AD during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, making it nearly 2,000 years old. It functions architecturally through its large concrete dome without reinforcing, portico entrance, and oculus opening at the top. The building was later converted to a church in 609 AD and contains tombs of notable people like Raphael.

Leaning tower of Pisa
This presentation covers salient features of the stabilisation of the leaning tower of pisa. Presentation is basically based on the account of soil mechanics and other civil engineering techniques.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The Leaning Tower of Pisa began construction in 1173 in Pisa, Italy and took over 200 years to complete due to wars, with its tilt beginning during construction due to an inadequate foundation on unstable soil; it leans over 15 feet from vertical and was stabilized in the late 20th century by pumping liquid concrete to stop further leaning.

Greek art
Greek art developed over several periods beginning with the Minoan civilization on Crete between 2700-1500 BC and the Mycenaean civilization from 1600-1100 BC. During the Geometric period from 900-700 BC, art featured geometric motifs while the Orientalizing period from 700-600 BC saw influences from Near Eastern cultures. The Archaic period from 600-480 BC saw the rise of stone temples and more naturalistic sculpture. Classical Greek art from 480-323 BC created famous works under the Athenian empire and featured developments like contrapposto. Hellenistic art from 323-31 BC advanced realism and embraced new subjects after Alexander the Great's conquests spread Greek culture.

Ancient egyptian architecture
The document discusses factors that influenced ancient Egyptian architecture such as geography, geology, climate, religion, and history. It describes key architectural features of Egyptian structures like temples, pyramids, and tombs. Some key points made are that the Nile river valley enabled agriculture and settlements in Egypt. Egyptian architecture used stone, bricks, sloped walls, columns, and lacked windows. Pyramids evolved from mastabas and step pyramids to the peaked pyramids at Giza. Major sites discussed include the temples at Karnak, Abu Simbel, and Hatshepsut's mortuary temple.
Byzantine and Christian Architecture
Early Christian and Byzantine architecture originated in Rome and Byzantium (Constantinople). The spread of Christianity led to the need for church architecture to accommodate worship. Early Christian churches adapted the Roman basilica, consisting of a central nave flanked by aisles and ending in an apse, to serve their congregational needs. As Christianity became the dominant religion, imposing church buildings were erected throughout the Roman Empire following the basilica design but with architectural features developing regionally into distinct Early Christian and Byzantine styles.
Roman Art
The Roman Empire spanned over 1/9th of the Earth's surface and ruled over a quarter of humanity across three continents at the height of its power. Roman architecture and town planning had a lasting legacy. They developed advanced building techniques like concrete and the arch, which enabled massive structures like the Colosseum and aqueducts. Roman towns were planned with gridded streets and usually centered around a forum. Notable architectural achievements included amphitheaters, temples, bath complexes, and the iconic Pantheon dome. Roman dress varied by class, gender, and occasion, with tunics and togas for citizens and more elaborate versions for elites.
Romanesque Architecture
Romanesque architecture developed in Western Europe between the 10th and 12th centuries, combining elements of Roman and Byzantine architectural styles. It utilized stone, brick, and other materials from older Roman structures, and featured thick walls, rounded arches, and vaulted ceilings. Churches during this period often followed a Latin cross floor plan and included features like rose windows. Examples of prominent Romanesque buildings include Pisa Cathedral and its leaning bell tower in Italy as well as Notre Dame du Port and Angouleme Cathedral in France.
Early christian architecture
The early Christian architecture began in Rome and Constantinople in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. As Christianity spread and was adopted as the state religion by Emperor Constantine, new church buildings were constructed to serve the needs of worship. The most common church design was the basilica, adapted from Roman civic buildings with a central nave and side aisles. Examples include St. John Lateran in Rome and the first St. Peter's Basilica. Some churches utilized centralized plans with circular or octagonal spaces surrounded by ambulatories, such as the mausoleum of St. Constanza in Rome.
HISTORY: Early Christian Architecture
The early Christian architecture began in Rome and Constantinople in the early 4th century AD. With Christianity becoming the official state religion under Emperor Constantine, new church buildings were needed for worship. The most common church design was the basilica, adapted from Roman civic buildings. Two prominent early basilica churches were St. John Lateran in Rome (313-320 AD) and St. Peter's in Rome (333 AD), which had a nave and aisles topped by timber roofs. Alternative centralized plans like baptisteries were also sometimes used starting in the 5th century.

Hagia Sophia, Istanbul,Turkey
This Powerpoint slideshow presentation shows the amzaning 1500 years old building that is still standing today. Together with the Panteon in Rome, they are the two most important historical buildings in the history of European architecture today that are still in use. The building was started as a Christian church in the city of Constantinople, as the Christian rival church in the New Rome of the East. In 1453, the city fell to the Turks. It became a mosque and inspired many to follow its architectural style. Today, it is a museum.
GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE
The document provides an overview of Gothic architecture in Europe between the 12th and 16th centuries. It discusses the origins and influences of Gothic style, major architectural elements and structural systems used, and the development and spread of Gothic architecture across different regions. Key points covered include the development of pointed arches, rib vaulting, flying buttresses, and elaborate decorative tracery which defined Gothic cathedrals and allowed for greater heights.

Session no. 4, 2012: Rebecca McKie: Roman villa’s and estates
Roman villas served agricultural, economic, and leisure functions. They ranged from working agricultural estates to luxurious retreats for elite Romans. Villas had residential, working, and storage areas. Many had extensive agricultural production, especially of wine and olive oil. Over time, villas incorporated more spaces for luxury and entertainment while maintaining an emphasis on farming and profit. Even as the Roman Empire declined, the villa system continued, with some becoming monasteries in the Middle Ages.
The lost wheel
Around the town of Leno in 1820, there were seven wheel-water mills, some public and some private. The public mills were rented out every three years with rent costs depending on annual cereal costs. Millers were required to provide high quality flour and rice, with their work paid as one-fifth of the harvest rather than money. The mills are listed in the Napoleonic terrier document, with some mills later demolished or converted to other uses while street names still reference the earlier presence of mills.
The Queen's Hamlet (Le hameau de la reine)
The Queen's Hamlet was a rustic retreat built for Marie Antoinette near Versailles between 1783 and 1787. It contained 12 cottages, farms, and structures like a mill, dairy, dovecote and barn. Marie Antoinette had her own house connected to the pool and nearby boudoir. Other buildings served functional purposes like housing workers, storing supplies, and hosting parties. The hamlet was designed as an idyllic rural escape for the Queen within the grounds of Versailles.
Urban farming 1
Urban farming has occurred in various forms throughout history. Some of the earliest cities like Catal-Hoyuk and Jericho grew crops outside dense settlements. Permanent crop-based settlements allowed for urbanization. Exceptions included oasis cities which could farm within walls due to protective deserts. Floating cities like Tenochtitlan farmed lakes. Modern public parks in the 18th century separated recreation from farming. The Garden City movement brought urban farming into cities in the late 19th century. State socialism increased urban farming in 20th century Eastern Europe. Recent high-tech methods include hydroponics and closed farms under artificial lights.
The roman britain's life
Roman Britain had a developed civilization before the Roman invasion, with people working as carpenters, farmers, and metalworkers. Most Britons lived in rural areas and farmed, living in round houses without windows. When the Romans invaded in the 1st century AD, they introduced villas with four or five rooms that the Britons emulated. Farms had animals like pigs, sheep, goats, horses and dogs that provided food, leather and wool. Romans also brought crops like cherries and peas. Many Britons became slaves after the conquest, working on farms and in mines, and some slaves died young. A Roman named Salvius lived in a large villa in Sussex after serving as a lawyer and senator

Cruising the Seine & Paris
This document provides information on several landmarks and sites in France, including cities, castles, churches, and gardens. It describes the architectural features and histories of notable structures like Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, Chateau Gaillard, and Monet's house and gardens in Giverny. Battle sites from World War II like Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc are also summarized. Major art museums such as the Louvre are discussed, with descriptions of famous works.
Châteaux
French châteaux were built along the Loire River in central France by rulers and wealthy individuals during the Renaissance as places of residence rather than fortresses. The largest and most famous is Château de Chambord, commissioned by King François I in the 16th century partly as a hunting lodge and gift for his mistress. It features over 400 rooms but was never fully furnished or occupied due to lack of funds and its remote location without nearby villages. The château fell into disrepair over the centuries but is now a major tourist attraction.
Save the Reservoirs Campaign - A talk by Monica Blake
This document summarizes the history of the Save the Reservoirs, New River and Filter Beds Campaign which aimed to preserve local water features from development. It describes the various historic structures on the site like the Castle Pumping Station from 1856 and the Primary Filtration Plant from 1936. It outlines Thames Water's plans from the 1980s to sell the land for housing and retail which faced local opposition who wanted it kept as green space. After years of campaigning, the West Reservoir was transferred to Hackney Council in 1995 and is now a venue for water sports, while the Woodberry Wetlands nature reserve opened in 2016.

The roman house
Roman houses came in different types - the domus for wealthy families, multi-story apartment buildings called insulae for the poor, and rural villas. The domus centered around an interior courtyard and usually included rooms for receiving guests (atrium, tablinum), living spaces (cubicula, triclinium), and a garden (peristylum). Poorer Romans lived crammed together in poorly-built insulae that lacked amenities, while wealthy owners resided in luxurious rural villas or divided their urban homes between housing and businesses.
Italy Gardens
This document discusses gardens and gardening in medieval and Renaissance Italy. It provides details on the types of gardens during these periods, including enclosed gardens, vegetable gardens, herb gardens, and pleasure gardens for noblemen. Key features of Renaissance gardens discussed include the use of terraces and stairways to accommodate hilly terrain, and connecting the house to the garden with loggias and arcades. Specific gardens highlighted include the Villa Medici designed by Michelozzo, with terraced gardens on a hillside, and the Belvedere Garden at the Vatican with architectural steps between terraces.
The houses in the acient Rome
Roman houses came in several types - the simplest being casas which were round shacks, while domus referred to typical family homes. Domus were centered around interior courtyards (atria and peristyles) and lacked windows on the exterior. They typically had one floor and specialized rooms. Wealthier domus also included features like mosaic floors, wall paintings, hypocaust heating, and indoor plumbing. The poorest Romans lived in multi-story apartment blocks called insulae, while those in the country lived in working farms (villae rusticae) or country estates (villae urbanae) which resembled domus. Remains of these classical Roman house types can still be seen at
Houses in the ancient Rome
Roman houses came in several types - the casa, a simple shack; the domus, the typical house for a single family; insulae, multi-story apartment buildings for the poor; and villas, houses in the countryside. The domus was centered around interior courtyards called the atrium and peristylum and included rooms like the tablinum, triclinium dining room, cubiculum bedrooms, and culina kitchen. Wealthier homes also had features like ornate mosaics, frescoes, hypocaust heating, and indoor plumbing and bathrooms. Archaeological remains show these house designs persisted in Roman settlements throughout the Empire.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
