Taipei 101--Shuyu Meng

This tall building is Taipei 101. It is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District. It is the tallest building in Taipei. The whole building is divided into 9 parts in vertical. It makes the building more stable. And it is a idea from bamboo. It is not only looks like bamboo but also have good meaning of wealthy.
The building is really brilliant.

National Museum of China--Shuyu Meng

 This is National Museum of China. It's located at the east side of Tiananmen Square. It is a grand building. There are marble pillars at the front of the building. Inside the building, there are a huge hall and several exhibition rooms. 

 Opposite with this building is the Great Hall of the People. We can see brilliant landscape from the top stairs of this museum building.  

Characteristic buildings in Tianjin--Shuyu Meng

Tianjin is in northern China near Beijing. Tianjin is a big city just like Beijing, and it is a coastal city. So this city is really different from its neighbor.
There are many buildings built in 1920s in the old town. These building were usually built for officers or celebrities. At that time, these building were usually built with Western style, which is different from traditional wooden buildings. We can see carved pillars arched windows and brown bricks.
This city is brilliant when is night. Around the river, old buildings and modern buildings are all illuminated by bright colorful neon light. It is really relax to hang out around the shoresides at nights.

Oklahoma Memorial Stadium - Danny Wyatt

This building is one of my favorites of all time. I have had so many good memories inside these walls. I love the architecture because everything on it looks so permanent. Some form of this structure will probably be standing until the world ends, because we are so driven by tradition. I love the brick work and how meticulous the design is on the stadium. It is built well enough to look modern, but enough money has been pumped into its design and construction that it will always look historic. They recently approved for the development and expansion of the stadium, which should make for an interesting new look. Most importantly, this is a structure where I fell in love with OU and on Friday, I will be dismissed with my diploma. I love what this building represents to me.

Highland Park United Methodist Church - Danny Wyatt

This is the United Methodist Church located in Highland Park, TX. I love the architecture of churches, and this one especially. I appreciate the stonework of this building and the accentuation of the tower. I cannot for the life of me think of what the feature is called but I like the top of the tower, where the blocks are alternating in a rigid pattern. This is the church where George Bush attends, so it is naturally a point of interest. One interesting characteristic of this building is its distinct lack of windows. Without artificial interior lighting, this building would not be functional, because on the outside, the stained glass lets in very limited light.

Cooper Chapel, Bella Vista, AR - Danny Wyatt

This is one of the most beautiful chapels I have ever visited. This is a chapel located in Northwest Arkansas where they do weddings and funerals. The architecture of this chapel is brilliant, because I feel that it blends in very well with the natural surroundings. From the road and parking lot, you cannot see the chapel, so the serenity and seclusion are almost inherent in its design. To the North, a lake sits to offer a tranquil feeling during ceremonies.

Three Partners Place - Danny Wyatt

This place is relatively new in my life. Since enrolling in this course, I have interviewed, interned, and now accepted a full time position with a company at this office. I hate the architecture of this place, and as you said in this course, the "green" developments of this place are mostly for the sake of saying that they are economically and environmentally conscious, despite the impracticality of such developments. I like that the inside of the building feels modern, but I do not find this building aesthetically pleasing.
