Description
An account of the resource
A massive convention center along Tokyo Bay. The convention center is made up of three main buildings, with the main tower being the center of attention, and what most people refer to when talking about this site. The main tower is a 58metre tall structure. It consists of 4 upside down pyramids, in a 2x2 square, taking up 102,887 square metres. The pointed sides down to the ground connected to steel towers that provide support and elevator access. In the center, between the pyramids, is a reception hall and four halls, this is considered the first floor. The second floor is the main entrance hall where the main exhibition plaza is found. This area reveals the glass covered roof. The remaining space is convention halls and offices. Surrounding the main tower is the West Hall. This is a series of 4 halls, connected by an atrium. To the east, across a street, and not directly linked to the main tower, is the East Hall. The entire hall is one Galleria flanked by two halls on each side. The structures are mainly steel, reinforced concrete, and glass. All of them have modular and movable sections to control the use of space.
Independent content creators use this convention center to sell and promote their works. It has been the starting point for many trends and has a huge cultural impact.

Description
An account of the resource
The layout of the structure is seemingly quadratic in its form. Its seemingly rectangular base connects to a smaller square, looking from the front angle of the bank. The structure is a three-level building, with an additional raised basement level. It is also worth noting that the structure is considered to be towering due to the context of its location. In Ness, the buildings are typically one-story. It appears that there are a few entrance ways into the structure. There is a two-way pillar that meets at the edge of the front-side of the structure. In addition to these main entrances, there are a barrage of windows. On the side that connects to the smaller square of the structure, there are only two large windows. The structure does have notable additions to its form near the top of the structure. On the side of the two-way opening, there is a brown triangular pyramid topped with the flag of the U.S. There are also cylindrical posts on the top that are seen over the top of the structure. Its patterns are quite interesting given that its style is that of Richardsonian Romanesque. Here we get these arch patterns on multiple sets or standalone windows throughout the mostly tan structure. Indoors we have several spaces for rental spaces for small businesses, firms and to house the bank itself as intended from the designs from the architect. It is the first building that the style used, as the area designed most of the courtly buildings, following the structure, in the Richardsonian Romanesque style. Its main material is Limestone as its outside walls are greatly made up of this medium. There was renovation done on the structure, with the exception of the roof, over the years as its usage has changed. Ultimately, the structure still stands as one of the most important buildings of the early settlement of the midwest in the U.S. Though it has seen its share of change, its legacy is still prominent.

An account of the resource
The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota is a large and expansive commercial structure. Externally it is primarily grey in color with many large reflective windows that can look blue due to the sky. It is rectangular in shape with four smaller square shaped buildings attached to each corner. Each building on the edge is at a diagonal angle that gives the overall mall less sharp corners. Many elongated pyramidal skylights cover the center ceiling of the mall, allowing plenty of natural light to seep in. They are quite noticeable when looking up on the highest level.. Two regular buildings attach the northern and southern sections of the mall. there are also two large parking garages on the eastern and western sides of the complex. More than 520 stores are contained in the mall. In the center is a Nickelodeon based theme park. There are a total of four levels to the mall. On level one there is a Sea Life aquarium. There are a total of ten entrances into the mall. One for each corner of the building and each cardinal direction.

Description
An account of the resource
After initially forming in 2011 the architecture firm NOA moved between a hand full of small offices in Bolzano Italy. Over the next 13 years their growth would continue eventually culminating in the renovation of what has now become the New NOA headquarters.
Entering through the buildings main elevator or stairwell you are greeted with two square sections on either side housing amities such as toiletries and janitorial storage. Ahead lays a "T" shaped hallway embodying the heart of creativity. In these main halls chairs, tables, and recreational furniture are set and able to be rearranged at will. Fundamentally embodying NOA's drive for creativity. This flexible area allows instant modification for any business related meetings or employee leisure. At the tip of the "T" hallway is a glass long window viewing the porch. On either side enters into private meeting rooms holding statues and colorful furniture. Further down NOA's own art library sits holding minified models of past projects and other decorations.

Description
An account of the resource
The Voya Financial building (also known historically as the Northwestern National Life Insurance Building) is a six‑story office structure located at 20 Washington Avenue South in downtown Minneapolis. It was designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki and completed in 1965. The building is known for its striking white‑quartz concrete columns about 63 slender columns that support an eighty‑foot high portico at one entrance. The design mixes modern architecture with formal, classical touches. Between the columns are thin marble panels (Verde‑antique marble) and dark tinted glass, which give the facade a refined appearance. There are reflecting pools and landscaped areas around the building, plus a grand porch/entrance that frames views down Nicollet Mall.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Visual Termination / City Planning: The building is purposely placed so that its portico serves as a visual terminus for Nicollet Mall. In other words, the sightline down Nicollet Mall ends at the building’s portico towards the direction of the Mississippi River.
Interior features: Originally, the top floor housed the company president’s office, decorated richly (rosewood, teak, large doors, etc.), and the cafeteria was on that level with arched windows and bright colors. There was also a large sculpture “Sunlit Straw” by Bertoia in the lobby.

Description
An account of the resource
The Bazaar of Tabriz is a historic trading site in Iran and is considered one of the oldest markets still in use and in addition to being the largest covered bazaar in the world. Although no one knows who made the space, the structure dates back to the Silk Road and has been documented throughout history by explorers and scholars alike. Located at the heart of the city of Tabriz, the bazaar is built like a labyrinth with a very irregular footprint, completely shaped by the organic growth of society throughout centuries of trade. However, the structure has a very formulaic interior, with each of its very long vaulted corridors that intersect or extend in different directions to more open spaces. These larger, typically domed chambers function as market squares that specialize in a particular good, like jewelry or textiles. The Tabriz only extends about two levels in height, and the majority of the bazaar is only on a single story. It has numerous entries that connect to the surrounding streets around the structure. This allows a very controlled flow through narrow alleys that widen back onto the street or into the vaulted rooms with merchants. The bazaar is primarily built of interlocking bricks which are locally sourced to make the walls, arches, barrel vaults, and the rib details across the structure. The more decorative aspects of the space utilize glazed tiles, painted plaster, and more patterned bricks to create the earthy and inviting atmosphere that unifies the sprawling complex.
The Bazaar of Tabriz is both a functional and symbolic structure of Iranian trade and cultural traditions. More than just a commercial hub, it also houses caravanserais, places of worship, and schools for learning, blending the social commerce space with religion, boarding, and education.

Description
An account of the resource
Taipei 101 is a skyscraper which serves both as a distribution center and a financial hub for various companies. Floors B1-6F are public areas with a shopping mall, gym, food court, etc. Floors 7-84F act as private office spaces for companies. There are observatories open to the public on floors 88-91, with an additional private observatory on the top floor, 101.
The building's exterior is primarily glass, suited for energy control. LED lights and other electrical control measures are implemented throughout. It has a wind damper as support during inclement weather. Additionally, the building's base consists of eight steel pillars, further strengthening the structure. Taipei 101 was built with the climate in mind, both in withstanding weathering and promoting climate change initiatives.
Drawing from traditional Chinese architecture, the structure resembles a strong bamboo stalk and a pagoda, a building for Buddhist practices. The number eight found in its base is said to be lucky in Chinese numerology. The building is modern in its design and function—sitting in the heart of the bustling city—but it does not erase the works of architects past, instead building on them. Taipei 101 is a major feat of contemporary architecture, implementing modern techniques to its advantage while remaining true to its Chinese background．

The Robāt-e Sharaf Caravanserai is one of the fifty-four Caravanserais, that are located throughout Iran, and each archeological site falls under the primary title, The Persian Caravanserai.
Description
An account of the resource
Located in Sarakhs, within the Khorasan-e Razavi Province of Iran and one of the fifty-four Caravanserais within The Persian Caravanserai, the Robāt-e Sharaf Caravanserai is a rectangular, fortified building, that resembles to the equivalent to a modern-day inn. This archeological site that resides on the Silk Road, was primarily used as a rest stop for travelers; a commercial hub for merchants to sell, trade, and purchase goods; a royal palace for the elite for special occasions; as well as a rest stop for pilgrims when traveling to Merv and Nishapur. Having an area of 4,863 square meters, incorporating Seljuk and Iranian architectures, and made entirely of baked brick, plaster, and stucco carvings, the Robāt-e Sharaf Caravanserai’s interior is comprised of a two-courtyard layout; guest rooms that were used for all social classes containing amenities; a four-iwan plan, which in Islamic architecture, usually consisted of a vaulted room with open sides; and decorated brickwork, which displayed Islamic art, and reflected the traditions of the Seljuk period. While there was a total of fifty-four Caravanserais throughout Iran, the Robāt-e Sharaf Caravanserai was the most well-known, and significant.

Description
An account of the resource
<em>Wangjing SOHO Beijing is a three-tower office development by Zaha Hadid Architects that opened in 2014, standing 118 m, 127 m, and 200 m high and comprising a floor space of more than 500,000 m². The layout is irregular and fluid, with the piers distributed as if they were river-smoothed stones, and it is featured by continuous glass façade walls and white aluminium bands forming horizontal ribbons along their curved volumes. Ground-level entrances give access into shopping and office circulation space, vertical circulation by elevator and stair/escalators, and rooftop plazas linking the piers. Composed of reinforced concrete, steel, and glass, the building is focused on transparency and contemporariness, as light and darkness move across the day-long flowing façades. The work is an expression of metaphors of motion and nature radiating corporate splendour and innovative spirit within Beijing’s fast-expanding skyline and is a question of modern epigraph about sustainability and branding functions of iconic architecture.</em>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Wangjing SOHO exemplifies Zaha Hadid’s work of a parametric design language to a commercial commission that unifies retail, office space, and leisure within a single continuous architectural formation.
As a SOHO China commission, it is an expression of corporate branding as much as of urban landmark creation that positions itself as a Beijing new business district focal point. These towers express the futuristic exuberance of the Hadid style while having useful commercial functions.
