The design space that I want to talk about today is the Library
of Congress. It is a very majestic, beautiful building showing off what America
could do as a fledgling nation. It was
built in 1897 in the Beaux Art (Renaissance) style that was very popular in the
late 1800’s. This style of architecture
is very ornate with elaborate carvings gracing the pillars, staircases, and
ceilings. Every carving depicts a type
of work or field of study that a civilized country eventually develops. These include music, art, literature,
medicine, history, and law, to name a few.
