The Evolution Of Three Period

The concept of a Dark Age originated with the Italian scholar Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca) in the 1330s, and was originally intended as a sweeping criticism of the character of Late Latin literature. Petrarch regarded the post-Roman centuries as "dark" compared to the light of classical antiquity. Later historians expanded the term to refer to the transitional period between Roman times and the High Middle Ages, including not only the lack of Latin literature, but also a lack of contemporary written history, general demographic decline, limited building activity and material cultural achievements in general. Later historians and writers picked up the concept, and popular culture has further expanded on it as a vehicle to depict the Middle Ages as a time of backwardness, extending its pejorative use and expanding its scope.

In French revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte,Maximilien Robespierre and Louis XVI of France

were the most influential figures of the French.

A watershed event in modern European history, the French Revolution began in 1789 and ended in the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. During this period, French citizens razed and redesigned their country’s political landscape, uprooting centuries-old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Like the American Revolution before it, the French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideals, particularly the concepts of popular sovereignty and inalienable rights. Although it failed to achieve all of its goals and at times degenerated into a chaotic bloodbath, the movement played a critical role in shaping modern nations by showing the world the power inherent in the will of the people.

The First Industrial Revolution, which began in the 18th century, merged into the Second Industrial Revolution around 1850, when technological and economic progress gained momentum with the development of steam-powered ships, railways, and later in the 19th century with the internal combustion engine and electrical power generation. The period of time covered by the Industrial Revolution varies with different historians.

I think therefore I am

   

According to René descartes said: "I Think Therefore I Am.",

I understand that I can done well everything if i believe in myself.

In my mind, thinking is very important.

Action of a man can show what he thinks that means how his life and condition.

 

 

If I really become a designer in future, this sentence will give me a lot of inspiration.

In the art and design world, mind is the way to stress our design work and thinking is the way how to improve our mind.

 

The man-René Descartes was a creative mathematician of the first order, an important scientific thinker, and an original metaphysician.

He has been dubbed the 'Father of Modern Philosophy', and much subsequent Western philosophy is a response to his writings.

Descartes was also one of the key figures in the Scientific Revolution and has been described as an example of genius.

In his theology, he insists on the absolute freedom of God's act of creation.

 

What you think is express your life,style,favourite and used.

 



If you got a bad mind,you will be a bad person.
If you got a good mind,you will be a kind person.

Don't let your mind control you.

You have to control it.

 



As a perfect designer, we need to keep mind young.
Think like a child but do like a man.

The world od design is always fresh and unlimited.

 

 

Or like a fish, every 7 seconds will forget everythings.

So, fish never get boring in the fish tank.

 

 

I Think therefore I am...GOOD DESIGNER!
I know I will achieve it.

Building In Baroque Era

The word Baroque means a misshapen pearl. This period of architecture was called baroque because it was considered very odd. Baroque architecture evolved out of Renaissance architecture in Italy. In the 1600's, the renaissance architects began to get bored with the symmetry and same old forms they had been using for the past 200 years. They started to make bold, curving, and not at all symmetrical buildings, with ornate decorations. They started to make curving facades, and used the double curve (in at the sides, out in the middle) on many different buildings.

 

The building in Baroque Era which I choose is St. Paul's Cathedral.

 

 

The cathedral is one of the most famous and most recognisable sights of London, with its dome, framed by the spires of Wren's City churches, dominating the skyline for 300 years. It was the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1962, and its dome is also among the highest in the world. In terms of area, St Paul's is the second largest church building in the United Kingdom after Liverpool Cathedral. St Paul's Cathedral occupies a significant place in the national identity of the English population.

 

 It is the central subject of much promotional material, as well as postcard images of the dome standing tall, surrounded by the smoke and fire of the Blitz.

The design was based on mixing a series of ‘layers’ of light:
• General: provided by a series of new and refurbished chandeliers, converted gasoliers, and stall lights combined with a series of specially designed lighting bars that can be folded away to restore the look of the space.
• Architectural: provided from concealed metal halide, linear xenon, cold cathode and tungsten-halogen sources. It includes the uplighting of the main vaults, the dome, transept windows, organ and other major features.
• Liturgical: provided by local lighting to the various altar positions.

Supplementary theatre lighting serves the crossing.

• Entrances: upgrading of entrances.
• Event: upgrading of theatrical lighting systems for events.

 

  There were numerous constraints including getting permission from many official bodies. This required extensive research into minimising damage to the fabric as well as mock-ups and tests. Other issues included disabled access, the illumination of artworks, limited availability of power and the need to develop a sustainable solution. Achieving the right balance between the operational requirements and ‘character’ was key. Carrying out the scheme in a functioning building presented a considerable challenge as work was only permitted at night. The project took four years to complete.

The lighting scheme is managed by a sophisticated control system which provides lighting scenes and manages energy consumption and lamp life. Control is via a series of touch panels or hand held wireless devices. The system is linked to a theatrical lighting desk for events. The final outcome is seen by all parties as a great success and has been described within the conservation and heritage world as being a ‘benchmark project’.

 

  I choose this building because St. Paul's Cathedral is a really beautiful place.It's got very strong  architectural features.



 

 

How design inspire your daily life.

Design is a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made.Design is everywhere in our life.

If art & design does not exist,everything will not have an obvious shape.


Design make my life have surprise.Every time I thought something must like that only,but every time there must have something fresh more than my imagined!

A good design does not mean must pay a lot of money.Recycling is better than use new material.It will cheaper and everybody can do it yourself.Maybe it is just a little thing in your life but I think it help us improve ourselves and make us more confidence.

Useful design make my life become colorful and easier to do things.It solve my problems and decorate my life.

I love design.
