Gibraltar became British in 1704 and is a self-governing territory of the United Kingdom which covers 6.5 square kilometers, including the port and harbour. It is believed that Gibraltar has been used as a harbour by seafarers for thousands of years with evidence dating back at least three millennia to Phoenician times; however up until the late 19th Century it provided little shelter for vessels. Refer to Figure 1 which shows the coast line along the western side of Gibraltar with the first structure known as the ‘Old Mole’ on the northern end of the town. Refer to figure 1 below. Location of the ‘Old Mole’ N The Old Mole as 1770 Figure 1 Showing the harbour with the first harbour structure, the ‘Old Mole’ and the structure in detail as in 1770.

HRPP577 1 Bernard Bonfiglio, Doug Cresswell, Dr Darren Fa, Dr Geraldine Finlayson, Christopher Tovell The modern Port of Gibraltar occupies a uniquely important strategic location, demonstrated by the many naval battles fought at and for the peninsula.

  • Elements of Design
    ELEMENTS OF DESIGN These are primarily the visual components used in creating a design or a composition. The elements that are basic to all visual design are line, form, color and texture. These additional element; pattern, light, and space help to complete it. Each of these basic elements is a well – defined and dissimilar feature of every design. However the effect of each element is considered only in connection with the other elements and the unit is judged as a whole. These elements, if used according to the principle of design, can ensure a certain degree of beauty in the final product. LINE This is a very important element in planning and furnishing. It is the most basic design element. Before the artist begins to paint, he or she must establish the direction of the lines of a painting on the canvas or paper. The artist combines horizontal, vertical, diagonals, and curved lines until the affect is pleasing to the eye. Likewise, the architect and the interior decorator must organize and combine lines before they can create beauty in a building or in an interior design. Lines have positive emotional significance depending upon their direction and their quality. In any interior, a combination of four types of lines listed above is generally seen, each having their own influences. Certain associations may be made between man and the lines based on the position his body takes in different actions. Vertical lines when standing, a human being is perceived as attentive and ready in act. Hence, vertical lines suggest steadfastness, sturdiness, or an upward aim.
