In order for Alexander Hamilton to get his assumption bill passed, he, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson made a deal known as the Compromise of 1790 which gave Hamilton the votes he needed to pass his bill and Jefferson and Madison obtained the nation’s capitol for the South and this is where the White House would later be built. Before construction of the White House, though, the President lived in the President’s House in Philadelphia which was built in 1767 and served originally as home to the Penn family, who founded Pennsylvania, and it was probably the largest home in all of Philadelphia. This is where Washington spent his presidency and also where Adams spent the first 18 months of his presidency before moving to the White House. The architect who designed the White House was Pierre Charles L’Enfant in 1791 while designing the District of Columbia. He envisioned a large mansion for the President which was five times larger than the building that was actually built.

The Crystal Palace can be described as a firm glass building that was initially made in Hyde Park, London, in order to be the home for the Great Exhibition of 1851. It was known that “14,000 exhibitors from all around organized together in the 990,000 square foot exhibition space in order to display models of technology that was developed during the Industrial Revolution.” () It was created and designed by a man named Joseph Paxton and is “three times bigger than St. Paul’s Cathedral.” () Once the exhibition was over, the palace was relocated to South London to a place known named Penge Common at the top of Penge Peak close to Sydenham Hill. The Crystal Palace stood from 1854 until its demolition by fire in 1936. The Eiffel Tower was built in Paris, France in 1889. The construction of the tower began in January of 1887 and was finished just in time to be an entry arch for the World’s fair in 1889. The World’s fair was significant because it celebrated the 100th year anniversary of the French Revolution, which took place in 1789-1799. The Eiffel Tower is known “as the greatest prominent artificial monuments in the world and as the most visited paid monument.”() The Eiffel Tower got the name from an engineer, by the name of Gustave Eiffel, whose corporation planned, designed, and built the famous monument that still stands today.

The Fuller “Flatiron” building was designed by Chicago’s prominent architecture firm Daniel H. Burnham and Company ¬– lead by Daniel H. Burnham.

One innovative concrete structure I have found that was unique to me was the Willis Tower, which is located in Chicago Illinois. Having nearly 350,000 employees, Sears Roebuck and Company decided to create a central office to fit all of their employees. The company decided to hire architects Skidmore, Owings and Merrill to design this enormous skyscraper. In the early 1970’s the project known as the Sears Tower begun. One unique fact about the Sears Tower was that it took only three years to complete a 1,729-foot tower (from base to tip), which I believe is impressive considering how fast it was built. After completion, the Sears Tower was known to be the tallest building in the world for about 25 years. Another unique fact about this skyscraper

To understand the rise of the prefabricated tower block it is important to recognize that their existence came about as a reaction to contemporary architecture which was codified at the state level. During and after the Second World War, Soviet Realism became the dominant force in urban architecture in the Soviet sphere, especially as Moscow installed puppet states throughout the Eastern Bloc which copied the policies of the USSR. This development was not accepted well by architects and intellectuals, especially in Germany, where the legacy of pre-war modernism was very obvious in cities like Berlin, but also in cities like Moscow, Prague, and Sofia where the classicism endorsed by Stalin was like going back a century. Stalin’s preference for a building style highlighting the power of the Soviet people resulted in a complete stagnation of other forms or architecture, and although very solidly built, his buildings were built on mostly important thoroughfares as prestige projects since the state could hardly pay for every building to fit this style, making its impact on most citizens negligible unless they were privileged enough to get an apartment in one of these buildings. So, rather than to further soviet goals of housing for all, these buildings made social stratification very obvious, as homeless laborers would walk down streets past new buildings with ornate stonework in which they had little hope of ever stepping inside, let alone living. In terms of interior program,
