Visiting Paris’ Little Sister

Posted by admin on Tuesday Dec 29, 2009 Under Uncategorized

Jean-Victor, Marie, their mom, and I drove up to Bordeaux, another major city like Paris, and it’s located two hours north from Bayonne. Bordeaux is a smaller version of Paris. The architecture is the same. However, there are fewer musuems than Paris and Bordeaux is more for business like Atlanta. L’?cole des Beaux-Arts, the most prestigious art school in the world and many well known artists including Renoir and Monet attended this school, is located in Bordeaux. Of course I saw the building and thought, “hmmmm…I should apply there so that I can be in France!” Of course I’m joking,Replica Chanel, this school would be WAY TOOOOO hard for me to be accepted. LOL. I also saw the Grand Thé?tre, a well known theater in France. One of the MAJOR difference between Bordeaux and Paris is that there is NOBODY in Bordeaux. In other words, we do not see anybody walking outside unlike Paris where we see millions of people on the sidewalks. Why? It’s too hot to walk outside! Jean-Victor, Marie, and I just took a stroll around the city and survived through the hot weather.

Where did Washington D.C. come from

Posted by admin on Tuesday Dec 29, 2009 Under Uncategorized

,Replica Chanel

When I first stepped on a small plantation, I immediately noticed a building that looked very familiar. It had ionic columns and a triangular pediment. The whole front reminded me of another famous building in United States, the White House. The White House was inspired by this building, and the White House is a neoclassical style, a style that revives from the Ancient Greek and Roman and the Renaissance. However, there was a nearly hemispherical dome, but slightly pointed, on this building. Thus, this building reminded me more of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Thomas Jefferson’s architectural design was Palladian, a type of neoclassical style. The designer of the building, Villa Rotunda, was Andrea Palladio. Palladio was one of the most influential architect in the architecture history. Evidently, Monticello and many of the buildings in Washington D.C. were inspired by Palladio. The Villa Rotunda was located on the mainland, near Venice, and it was located in a slightly isolated area on a hill with a magnificent scenic view of gardens and green hills in all direction. It’s a suburban palace currently owned by Mario di Valmarana for recreated, parties, natural retreat and residential living. This building is made of brick, stucco, and wood, and with all these material combined, it’s called marmorino white. When I walked around the building, I noticed that every side is the same. This defines that this building is biaxially symmetrical. In other words, it’s radially symmetrical. This building is obviously from the Renaissance era as it has ionic columns and classical temple style staircases. It has mathematical precision and proportions, circles and squares, which is a trait of classicism. Palladio began sketching out ideas in 1540’s, and the construction began in 1566. The interior is magnificent as it has beautiful stuccos on the ceilings and Enlightenment Age look furniture. The furniture were gold with beautiful fabrics. The building as a whole was beautiful and was definitely an inspiration for many future buildings.

Palladio created numerous buildings throughout his life. He also created Villa Emo, a country home for the Emo family. It was built in 16th century. Like other Palladio’s architecture, this building is very simple, geometrical and rational. There are columns along with a pediment resting on the top of the columns at the front of the building. There is a ramp instead of stairway leading up to the porch. The wings on both sides, have rounded arcades. This shows a very geometrical order as the arcades have a half circle resting on top of the columns. This also shows rhythm in this architectural design. Geometry and rhythm is one of Palladio’s goals in his architectural design.

We originally planned to go to Versailles, but we were all too tired to take a long train ride there, and we just wanted to chill out in Paris.? So, we just walked around Saint Germain des Pres and Marais.

Then we went to Picasso Museum.? It’,Replica Handbags;s a nice small museum, but I felt this museum just simply housed a collection of Picasso’s least greatest artwork.? Even if I felt that his artwork at this museum were not my favorite, many pieces were still a worthwhile seeing such as his photography work.? His photography work were quite fascinating.? He took a flashlight and swiveled around his surrounding space and took a picture of himself.? He left the timer on for so long that we can see drawings of light on the picture.? How cool!

I had a very nice reunion with a friend of mine who was my penpal in high school, Christophe.? We met each other for the first time face to face two years ago when I came to France.? Then he came to US a month later and visited me.
