Carnegie Hall
description: Terracotta ornaments line the sides with friezes placed above the fourth floor. Arched windows can be seen on the building’s facade. Stained glass and massive steps once adorned its exterior. Carnegie Hall is a building located in the heart of New York City. Constructed at the end of the 19th century, the structure takes a neo-Renaissance style. The original building was made from reddish-brown brick and thick concrete walls utilizing the Guastavino process. Despite its builder, steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, little to no steel was present during its 1890 consturction. This allowed for resonating acoustics, enhancing the building’s use as a music venue. More than a place to listen to music, it was created to make music into art. Carnegie Hall’s interior is separated into three music halls and an education wing. The Judith and Burton Resnick Education Wing is the newest addition, constructed in 2011 during the Studio Tower renovation project, though the Rose Museum located within was built twenty years prior. Resnick Education Wing, taking an L-shaped form, is one of the few areas where Carnegie steel is utilized, paying homage to the hall’s builder. The structure serves as a teaching space for artists and is open to the general public, facilitating the development of music within surrounding communities. The oldest of the structures is the Issac Stern Hall, built by amateur architect William Tuthill. The hall is known for its world-class acoustics. When constructing it, Tuthill chose to make Stern Hall as simple as possible. The heavy curtains, extravagant chandeliers, and detailed frescoes, which are present in other venues, are not present in Stern Hall. Instead, the curvilinear walls are smooth, the roof is domed, and the stage slightly protrudes out. The elements within Stern Hall are simple but amplify each note played. Carnegie Hall as a whole is a gem of the music world, with Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky, George Gershwin, Billie Holiday, etc. t…

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Allegheny Branch
description: The structure has a quadratic footprint, with morphed and rugged edges. It sports a clock tower near the bottom of the structure when viewed from above. It has several levels and rooms, with it housing around 1,100 individuals with just its auditorium alone. From this we get a greater understanding of the structure’s stature. It features several entrances throughout, including what appears to be one near the clock tower. Once more, the building materials that define the Richardsonian Romanesque style are prevalent. With that signature granite stone material as an exterior coat, it pairs with glass in the windows and arches around the structure to bring these prominent features to the forefront!! This building is also heavily inspired by the Allegheny courthouse, located a little ways away from it, and was the first Carnegie public library in the U.S. It has since been closed as a library and replaced with a different building but the structure is now reused mainly as a theater!

Casa de los Azulejos.
description: Casa de los Azulejos rises from the streets of Mexico City like a jewel of colonial elegance. Its upper floors shines with thousands of blue and white Talavera tiles, arranged in i geometric and floral patterns that catch the sunlight. The solid gray volcanic stone of the ground floor anchors the building, providing a stark contrast to the airy brilliance above. Corners and edges are finely carved stone details, framing the vibrant mosaics and infusing the structure with a sense of opulence. All the patterns following to the top of the building crowns the building gracefully, completing its harmonious proportions. From every angle, Casa de los Azulejos captivates the eye by seamlessly blending Baroque architectural precision with the lively colors and textures of traditional Mexican craftsmanship.
