Gothic architecture 2 (thx) Pointed Arch is simply known as the Gothic arch and was reconstructed from cylindrical vault of Roman architecture. There are four stones at the end of the arch supporting the power from the top so that the height and the span of the arch are no longer restricted and the arch can be made as large and high as possible. It is interesting to note that architects of the modern world believe that the 'pointed arch' was actually the result of an attempt to hide technical flaws. Besides, there is Flying Buttress which is a supporting facility to share the pressure from the main walls. It has been largely used in Roman Architecture. The original buttress was solid and covered by the roof. However, the buttress with Gothic style is exposed out to be known as flying buttress. Due to the further requirements of the height, the role and appearance of buttress have been greatly enhanced. It is coved with complicated decorates and elaborate carvings. Gothic architecture gradually abolishes the gallery and aisle and increases the size of the window. These windows are high enough, almost to be used as the walls. The stained glass, covered with religious stories which help to illustrate the doctrines to illiterate people is of high artistic achievement. There are two main colors, blue and red. Blue symbolizes the heaven and red symbolizes the blood of Christ. The stained glass creates a mysterious but brilliant scene, which express people’s longing for the kingdom of heaven. This allowed the once dim Romanesque Cathedral to be transformed into a very bright and warm feeling Gothic Cathedral About the beam-column , many columns, no longer simple round, come together and emphasize the vertical lines, which makes the whole architecture to form an organic whole with simple lines and grand appearance. In the architectural history , the Gothic architect plays an important role because of Gothic architectural high skill and artistic value.

Gothic architecture （I hope someone could help me to correct my essay） Gothic architecture is unique in its use of materials. The structures took on different styles across Europe. Regional influence played a major role in the design variations and preference for building material. While in France, limestone was used extensively, England witnessed extensive use of red sandstone and coarse limestone with Purbeck marble architectural features. Similarly, while in Northern Germany and the Baltic nations, the tradition was of using brick, in Italy, marble was the preferred material. This form of architecture also accommodated timber, which is seen to this day in the splendid hammer-beam ceilings and rafters. Whenever anyone looks at a cathedral, the first thought usually has to do with its beauty. Inside and out, they are known to be some of the grandest, most elaborate structures ever created. For cathedral architects, one of the first priorities was to create an aesthetic and visually pleasing product. In Gothic architecture, west facade is the focus, the typical composition is: on both sides of a pair of tall bell tower, the following cross-cutting coupons from the Gallery level of contact, three doors from the back layers of the composition of the sharp perspective coupons door, coupons face full of statues. In addition, Gothic architecture is characterized by tall minarets，pointed arches, large windows and stained glass painted with Bible stories. And the pointed arch, flying buttress and the long beam-column create a sense of flying. The majestic appearance，the vast space in the church and the long windows with stained glass produce a strong religious atmosphere..

The small scenic garden in Japan 2 The Japanese approach to controlling nature is not to make it into something different but to leave it the way it is, only make it smaller. Such as the Daisenin Garden, it is considered one of the masterpieces of minature landscapes garden.. Garden designed to be viewed from waiting area of the residence. Rocks—not trees or water—is the most important element to make natural smaller. It is the rocks that dictate the shape, movement, and space of trees and water. The grouping of rocks makes the reduced garden possible. Trees keep growing; water overflows or dries up. They are like human flesh, but rocks are like bone. A skeleton of rocks makes it possible to compress nature into a smaller space and bring it into the garden. Arranging rocks is a way of contracting nature---the sea, mountain rivers, everything. One arranges rocks so as to copy the scenery of some famous place, but one reduces it in scale and makes it one’s own. Trees and water are only secondary to this process of reduction. Someone may be wanted to know how one goes about making a reduced model of the sea using rocks. According Tachibana no Toshitsuna explains that if we can reproduce the image of rough crags weathered by the waves, it will be easy for people to imagine the great sea itself. Except that rocks can also be used to create the illusion of a great river or stream. It’s very fantastic. Someone said rocks are the nouns and verbs of the garden, trees and water are merely adjectives and ad verbs. This is the grammar of a garden. In the dry garden, making nature smaller depends not on copying some actual natural phenomenon on a reduced scale. Instead, a different process occurs. By paring, eliminating, cutting, peeling, and throwing away, a natural form not unlike a protoplasm results. Pare down and pare down some more. Discard the useless. Ryoanji garden is considered one of the masterpieces of dry landscapes. The rocks in garden have not been carved with a chisel. Someone ever said western-garden nature is man-made while Japanese-garden nature is made for man.

The small scenic garden in Japan In small scenic garden, there usually are ponds, plants, Miniature Mountains and so on. These early gardens usually consisted of a pond with an island in the middle. Other features on the shore are seen from the pond area. The background plantings and elements are placed so that they blend into the natural landscape beyond the garden. However, as the Edo period progressed, the building of artificial miniature mountains became popular. These mountains were usually copies of real mountains such as Mount Fuji, which is thought to have been the model for the artificial mountain in the Suizen Temple garden mentioned by Okazaki above. The Miniature Mountains became one sign of the small scenic garden. I have known that both the borrowed and contracted scenery styles of garden came originally from the Asian continent, especially the Chinese Garden. Lots of Chinese garden have Miniature Mountains. Chinese garden if from the Yin and Zhou era of the emergence of limited counting, has been 3000 years of history. The gardens in Japan have been much influenced by that are in China. But as time going by, gardens in Japan have their own characters. For example, Bo Zhuyi probably had such a garden. These city garden models from Tang China were the models and source of Heian gardens , but the Japanese greatly changed them, and allegorized them into gardens of adventure and discovery.

Studying In Library Today, after the statistics exam I went to library alone. Tomorrow we will have other exam of "Introduction to business". I think it is a difficult suject for me. The book is very thick. I known it's impossible to review the whole book in one day. But, tomorrow is coming. I'm regret not learning hard in normal time. In my memory, I usually only went to library before the big test. In normal time, you hardly saw me in library. Maybe have lots people like me only study before the final exam. A number of students are studying in library. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. I just want to say to myself: Good Luck.
