The colonial house, being placed under the sun sign, must protect itself from heat, due to high humidity, while opening to the air which cools and purifies. The origin of the colonial house is the bungalow, low house built on a base surrounded by a gallery and wearing a high roof with four slopes, type of dwelling on the coasts of Bengal. I have visited the place and it still look amazing but not like before. I also think that people back in the day were very creatives with a little material.

The eiffel tower is a monument from Paris. I have been in Paris in 2009 and i can tell you it is a nice and beautiful country. This tower is really big and has seventy-two names of french scientists, engineers, and mathematicians engraved in their recognition of their contributions. when you are on the top of the tower you can see the city of paris. The most i have enjoyed was the food because it was really good. There is two restaurant and a buffet on the top of this building.

Goree Island. Beautiful, mysterious, a small paradise floating nonchalantly off Dakar. Yet ancient theater of the worst manifestations of man's inhumanity, the hub of slavery, a pillar of the triangular trade for centuries. Heritage and essential site of world history, Goree Island has that indefinable something that makes it unique, a touch of mystery that makes it memorable. When you go to this place, you can feel what was happened before. It represents many things at the same time for me.

At the top of what is called the golden triangle, home to many embassies and institutions, the Place de l’Etoile is a hub to commute to the western suburbs and La Defense. The neighborhood is, of course, home to the world renowned Champs Elysee a 2km long strip, referred to as the most beautiful Avenue in the world and famous for its luxury shopping and dining venues. The Avenue features brands like Louis Vuitton, Guerlain or Lancel and, no matter what time of the day or night, the flow of people (mainly tourists) is continuous. You can not go to Paris and miss this marvelous place. It is a great piece of art that this country has because it attract many people around the globe.

The Pyramid is a high-rise building located in the Plateau in Abidjan. Its construction began in 1968 to be completed in 1973. He is one of the most famous buildings in the Abidjan agglomeration for its architecture and little trivial to be one of the first high-rise buildings constructed in the Plateau, at the time of the Ivorian miracle. It has the ground floor of several spaces for shops and trade. The first time i saw the pyramid it was like i was in a different world. The texture and the way people built it was really amazing. The actual picture of the pyramid is not really nice because people do not take care of that. This nice bulding is for tourism and you can find many things you need or want to know about africa

Growth Point, Point growth is a work of sculptor Lim Dong Lak which is part of the series poetic Totems. Founded in 1999, it represents a start emerging from a stainless steel globe kind of cyber seed. This achievement in any poetic melancholy tension between rigor and fantasy, skillfully balance the notions of artistic creation, technology and nature. Given this vital form of which the reflecting surface is animated according to the natural light and the activity of the environment, the viewer can indulge in a dreamy contemplation. I went To Paris in France back in 2009 after my high school diploma. So, I went to do shopping not far from the place and I have noticed a spectacular sculptor. It captivated my attention and after that I went home to learn more about that.

The statue was born AKWABA hands of the sculptor Kofi Donkor and a project led by Martial BOGUIFO. The work symbolizes the hospitality of the Ivorian people, Akwava means "safe arrival" in Akan population. The sculpture is made of marble reconstituted on an iron frame, it was made in Bouake before being transported. His first name was "Atou" which is also an Akan word that corresponds to the fraternal embrace. As indicates in the top. this picture represents my culture and where I come from. It is right to the airport and announcing a well travel or greet the incoming travelers to have a good stay in our country.

There are 12 starting up the project to build the Mosque of the Plateau.
Throughout the work, the blue gold figure of this beautiful religious building still under construction, has finally taken its place in the landscape of the business district of Abidjan.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with all great works of faith, the realization of this imposing building dedicated to the Almighty who started with gusto, would experience many ups and downs and stop in January 2002 for lack of funding. This was an idea of our previous previous President who want to honor our Muslim folks. I always appreciate this idea because it represents a lot for this community. I hope that one day, the government will end this project.

Lastly, a building that has had an impact on my life is the Tom Muehlenbeck Recreation Center. Being my place of employment for the past five years, there are mixed emotions associated with this building. Watching this building being put together as a middle school kid, you can’t help but marvel at the process and how it is even possible. This, of course, is contrast to the feelings you have when you have to walk in and do your job for hours. Overall, this building is one that I am very neutral about.

The American Airlines Center is another one of the buildings that always gives me fond memories. Similarly to the Dallas Burn games, my dad would take me to watch the Dallas Stars games in the arena. The memory that stands out the most to me is when my dad and I went to see a playoff game against the San Jose Sharks. We actually got pretty good seats to this game and the atmosphere was electric. This game is on my list of the memories that stand out just because of how exciting the game was.

This next building is one that really stands out in my mind even though I have only been there once and that was a long time ago. This building is the Empress Hotel on the Inner Harbour of Victoria, British Columbia. The hotel is actually one of the most well known buildings of the city. The memory that I usually associate with this building was the time my family was staying there, and a seagull came up to our window. The bird just stood there for a minute and then my sister decided that it would be a good idea to feed the bird a pizza crust. We still have a picture of the incident at my house and it is usually something we all laugh about to this day.

The next piece of architecture that has had an effect on me is the Cotton Bowl. Even though I now associate the Cotton Bowl with wins over the Longhorns, I really remember it or when my dad and I would watch the Dallas Burn play. Watching them play was always a treat for me because it did not happen that often. Overall, the Cotton Bowl is home to many fine memories of OU wins and fun times with my dad.

Another one of the buildings that has an influence on me is Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas. This building is most commonly seen in skyline pictures of Dallas and is usually lit a bright green on most nights. One memory I have of this building is the time I had an indoor soccer tournament at the old Reunion Arena and then watched a Dallas Sidekicks with my friend. After the game, we went up to the observation deck of the tower. This is one of the memories that really stick out in my mind because of how this friend and I don’t really talk anymore, even though we are still friends.
