What kind of architecture is an open building? Gonna try to explain this as best I can. You know certain hotels or large office buildings where you walk in, there's a lobby or some such, and it opens up to, say, an atrium with artificial ponds or trees and a restaurant, and you can look up and see all the way up to the roof, usually where a skylight is. And each floor is a balcony winding all the way around that looks over the middle. If anyone knows what I'm trying to get at here, what's the architectural term for a design like that? I'm trying to find out more about it.

Philly Building Architecture? I'm doing a project on how building have changed over time for a civil engineering/architecture course. I used to live in NE philly and I am interested in the Cottman Castor Shopping center and am trying to do it on that. I know that the huge building on the corner was a Lit's at one time as I have found pictures on the philly archives. However, I am at a loss for pictures of Clover and definatly Toy's R Us when it first opened and had it's rainbow striped look. I can recall it was very different from other TRU but I am too young to remember anything else. If anyone on here can give me any info on the architecture of both buildings through the years (where doors were located, additions, interior..etc.) it would be greatly appreciated and if anyone has any pictures they would be appreciated and credit will be given where it is due! Thank You Thanks a lot for a lot of the info. I believe my Clover did not have the bronze I do know that every one you have shown me in pictures did. Mine had a green canopy that looked the same as the bronze. That explains the huge pylon on Toys R Us (it was a Food Fair). Do you know if there were two entrances to the Toys R Us or just that one next to clover?If so, which wall was the entrance on? What was the interior of TRU like I can remember it was differenet from others but not much Thank you sir!

Americorps & Peace Corps: are there opportunities to work in construction or building? (architecture student)? Hi! I graduated from college 2 years ago with a BA in architecture, and in those 2 years, I've been teaching English in Japan, and am now ready to get back into architecture. I'm thinking it would be good to get some hands-on technical experience with just construction and building (I know it will be invaluable to my knowledge as an architect in the future) and am trying to figure out what to do. I will be looking for jobs at architecture and contracting/construction firms, but I came across these two organizations. Does anyone know if I would be able to get some experience with building in either of these? Thank you for your help!

(Middle Eastern Architecture) I would like to find this building? Many years ago I found a photo on the web of a building that I fell in love with. It is one of the most beautiful examples of Middle Eastern architecture I have ever seen. Unfortunately, I lost the link to the photo and have been fruitlessly searching for it ever since. I originally found it on Webshots, but a seach of that site has not turned up the photo. The picture showed a white Middle Eastern style building with a dome sitting in the middle of a large lake at dusk with a full moon overhead. If I remember the caption correctly it was some sort of a government building. I have done a search on major government buildings and prominent mosques without success. I have had good results with Yahoo! Answers so I was hoping someone might have an idea what building I am trying to locate. Not the Taj Mahal (much smaller than that but with some similarities) and certainly not the Knesset (what a horrible block of concrete).
