Abstract
This paper looks at the life and the effects that we feel today of Corbusier. This biographical paper looks at his beginnings and early influences to understand this genius. For better or worse, the architect known as Le Corbusier changed the face of our cities. Along with Mies van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, Corbusier epitomizes modernism. Can, however, the future be built without standing on the shoulders of the past? Corbusier was a devotee of the esthetic of the machine and still he regarded the Parthenon as a pinnacle of architectural achievement. He believed in the Renaissance notion of man being at the center of creation and yet, built houses that men could not live in. Le Corbusier may have been designing square pegs for round holes but in the end, there was a direct line, for him, between the Parthenon and modernism.

Abstract
This paper provides a synopsis of the architectural works of Nicolas Francois Mansart and Jules Hardouin-Mansart. Both excelled in architecture, contributing to the classical style and adding great cultural flavor to French culture. Jules, who learned from his great-uncle Nicolas, represented the culmination of Louis XIV's style.

Abstract
This paper will analyze some of the general principles of Islamic architecture, with a particular emphasis on the historical and cultural forces that shaped the development of this architecture over time. In this context, certain typical theoretical features of this mode of architecture may be identified.

Abstract
This paper will argue that the "reading" of the Pantheon as an embodiment of Roman architectural values is problematic at best. It will be seen that while it embodies distinctive features of Roman architectural design, in many respects the Pantheon's design also seems to reflect a sense of "play" not normally associated with Roman culture. A complex of contradictions that may be said to mirror its builder, the cosmopolitan Hadrian, and his empire at its height.

Abstract
Three famed examples of Charles Willard Moore's ingenious work will be selected during the course of the paper and his core strategies will be described in that backdrop.

Abstract
This six-page undergraduate paper discusses FLW's works, but primarily Fallingwater, in the context of his life. His work is symbolic and functional - river gods and fairies are not functional and not part of organic architecture; the symbolism of FW involves nature and traditional America in the old mill. Note: you should include photos on pp. 157-161 of Smith since they illustrate what is written on p.5 of paper. Other photos included.

Abstract
This paper examines how the Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme was Australia's largest engineering project ever and how it took 25 years to build with strong multi-cultural work force that included thirty different countries, some being European immigrants made homeless by the Second World War. Its purpose was to divert the largely untapped waters of the Snowy and Tumit into the Murrumbidgee River.

Outline
Introduction
What was the Lead Up to the Snowy Hydroelectric Scheme?
Why Can the Snowy Mountain Hydroelectric Scheme be Considered Such a Success?

From the Paper
"For many years during the dry farmers looked up to the snow capped mountains and watched much of the Snowy and other rivers flow, unexploited into the oceans but it was not until 1944 that the idea of a irrigation/power scheme was viably put forward. Later on in 1947 the Commonwealth, New South Wales and Victorian Governments formed a technical committee to explore viable uses for the Snowy River. In 1949 the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Power Act formed a Snowy Mountains Authority, which was put in charge of the daunting task of designing, building and running a duel Power and Irrigation project."
