    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The National Museum of Singapore is a neo-Palladian structure that over time has been renovated to have glass and steel elements. Its plan overall is relatively symmetrical, and the building features two main stories. A large center dome sits in the middle of the structure&#039;s roofing, very reminiscent of British government buildings. To enter the museum, there’s a grand portico with a sweeping staircase that guides into the central atrium before branching into other exhibition galleries. The opened interior spaces are primarily illuminated by the large arched windows or stained glass in the rotunda done. A very modern “glass passage” was built for the museum to connect the newly developed areas seamlessly to the historical structure without obvious style disruption. Architecturally, the building showcases a historical evolution throughout time, from colonial British rule to more independent Singaporean state and style.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Temple of Apollo Epicurius at Bassae is a striking enormous and elegant stone structure in a high-altitude mountain of Arkadia. It is formed in a rectangular shape isolated in a rugged slope. Around the structure there are rocky hills and mid-size trees spreaded throughout the mountain. The capital of the central column is the most ancient, conserved Corinthian capital. It contains 15 columns and 6 columns on the longer side. The temple is rested on a three stepped platform with thick doric columns holding the building.  The building is grey and over centuries old with the roof currently nonexistent. The temple has a main chamber made by marble.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Alexandria Bibliotheca]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<p>The Bibliotheca Alexandria is a multifunctional cultural and educational complex that is located in Alexandria, Egypt. The building spans 160 meters in diameter and is 32 meters tall, and it extends 12 meters underground. An open plaza and a pool surround the building, and a bridge connects it to the city adjacent to the University of Alexandria. The exterior wall of the building comprises nearly 6,000 square meters of hand-carved stone, engraved with letters, alphabets, and symbols from over 120 world languages. The unique shape and large size of the building make it look like an important symbol of Egypt. The exterior is inspired by the Hellenistic architecture style which is a style known for it's large, detailed complex structures. This style also depended on the point of view of the viewer and wanted to give a theatrical experince to a viewer to make it known that the building is significant. The Alexandria Bibliotheca follows this style by having with the long sequence of columns at the entrance of the building, including the courtyards outside the building and porch at the entrance of the building. The interior is designed with tall columns with a large glass ceiling that provides a natural light. The Alexandria Bibliotheca is a space used for lectures, museums, galleries,exhibition halls, auditoriums, and it's used for conferences as well. The vast amount of book sheleves and computers inside the building gives the idea that this is a building that is used for research and studying.</p>]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Allegheny County Courthouse and Jail]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Structure is very symmetrical, It is a simple rectangle viewed from above. In addition, it has a singular piece that extends beyond its standard quadratic form in what appears to be a clock tower. It does have an iconic element featuring a central courtyard in the middle of the structure. This courtyard is closed off from the outside, and one would reach it by going through the building. The building’s height reaches up to 250 ft. In addition it has 5 levels. You can enter through multiple entrances and exits. What appears to be the main entrance is off the left side of the courthouse, once more viewing the structure from above. From here you can eventually move into a main corridor where you can see the several levels above. There are also specified parts of the building for the jail and the courthouse respectively. The construction method and materials again help make the case for the Richardsonian Romanesque movement! Here with the large subjects with pointed pyramid, and coned roofs. In addition, the subject of arches rears its usage again. For the materials, once again using that granite material as its exterior and glass for the windows, exemplifies the Richardsonian style! This, in addition to the Trinity, helped define Richardson’s architectural style. The structure is also the second most “modeled after” building after Independence Hall.<br />
