Project Row House



Project Row House! These houses were all alike but the one to my right was the only one that was painted outside. The Row Houses have many advantages and even go back since the year 1949! One of the advatages is that back then the ivention of the AC was not there yet, therefore it would get really hot during the summer so they made the houses front door go all the way back to the opposite side with a back door. The reason for this is when it would get hot they would just open both of the doors (front and back) they would feel the breeze and no longer be attacked from the heat in their own home.
 
While having a chance to go inside each of the Row House they had we noticed something... they all contained some type of art inside that was done by artist. Going through each house it was quite exciting because you didnt know what you could find in any of the houses. Each house was full with different types of art. It was amazing!

The Architecture of Buildings



       I absolutly love this picture I took when we went to visit the Chase Bank! This isnt an ordinary skyscraper, as you can see. Most of the buildings around Down Town Houston are very alike, but in this case the architecture of this specific building is incredible. There's so much detail to this bank when being observed closely.
        While having the chase bank in this type of condition and such poweful structure it would make me feel confortable saving my money there. This gives the Chase Bank an advantage to having more  customers, more money, and a good reputation about the bank!

Another unique thing that defines the bank are the paintings inside and also the material they use around the entire bank such as the type of marble used for the floors and even the materials used for the ceilings.

 
The most exciting part about this field trip was being able to go to the 60th floor of a building! Even though it isn't the highest we were still able to get higher that we all have in any other building. As we got inside the elivator I have to admot it was pretty scary knowing that you were so high off the ground! As we got on the elivator and headed out to see the city... it was just so speechless. I would say it has an amazing view for people to see and enjoy.
