Assignment #4

1.      This is a picture of the Jones Physical Science building also known as the PSC on campus.        

2.      The Jones Physical Science building resembles a Greek temple like a lot of architecture does.  The front has Doric columns which are very plain and simple. The columns are not Ionic or Corinthian because they are not ornate or have a Capital I at the top. The columns are just plain and simple.  The column has a plain shaft.  The building also has post and lintels.  This basic post and lintel is support that is spaced far enough apart so the ceiling will not fall.  This resembles an ancient temple and also has the look of the Empire State building or the Twin Towers.

3.       The Jones Physical Science building is an International style with straight lines, a boxy building shape, little decorations, and very little details. The building is not only this International style but also has a little bit of a Greek mix because it resembles the front of a temple with the placement of the columns and the door centered underneath. The building has few windows and is built to conserve energy yet provide light at the same time.
