  • Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure
    Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and Implementation of the Appointment Procedure Updated September 1, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41074 SUMMARY R41074 Architect of the Capitol: Evolution and September 1, 2021 Implementation of the Appointment Ida A. Brudnick Specialist on the Congress Procedure According to its website, the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) is responsible “for the operations and care of more than 18.4 million square feet of facilities, 570 acres of grounds and thousands of works of art.” Pursuant to the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1990, the Architect is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Prior to the enactment of this law, the President appointed the Architect for an unlimited term with no formal role for Congress. The act also established a 10-year term for the Architect as well as a bicameral, bipartisan congressional commission to recommend candidates to the President. As subsequently amended in 1995, this law provides for a commission consisting of 14 Members of Congress, including the Speaker of the House, the President pro tempore of the Senate, the House and Senate majority and minority leaders, and the chair and ranking minority members of the Committee on House Administration, the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, and the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. An Architect may be reappointed. Alan M. Hantman was the first Architect appointed under the revised appointment procedure. He declined to seek reappointment and served from January 30, 1997, to February 4, 2007. Stephen T. Ayers, who served as Acting Architect of the Capitol following Mr.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY VOLUME LXV APRIL, 1941 NUMBER TWO Some Qree\T(evival Architects of Philadelphia HILADELPHIA saw alike the birth and the death of Greek Revival architecture in America: its birth in the Bank of Penn- Psylvania, which Latrobe designed in the spring of 17985 its death—or should one say its final swan song?—in the Ridgeway Branch of the Library Company, designed in the 1870's by Addison Hutton, far out on South Broad Street. And, in the years between, several of the most important Greek Revival architects in the coun- try established their homes in Philadelphia, found there a most profitable field for their activity, and designed for it some of the most remarkable of its buildings. Latrobe, Mills, Strickland, Havi- land, and Walter all contributed much to the appearance of the growing city, and in the work of all, whether it was strictly Greek or not, the ideals of the new architectural movement were enshrined. It is not strange that this should have been the case. Philadelphia was, in the early years of the Republic, the undoubted metropolis of the country. It was, in its own characteristic staid way, the center of culture and of art. Boston was still, in architecture, largely under the sway of English late-Georgian inspiration, so beautifully re-created in New England in the domestic work of Bulfinch, the exquisite 121 122 TALBOT HAMLIN April interiors of Mclntire, and the early handbooks of Asher Benjamin. New York, struggling out of the devastation caused by the long British occupation, was still dominated by the transitional work of John McComb, Jr., the Mangins, and such architects as Josiah Brady and the young Martin Thompson; Greek forms were not to become popular there till the later 1820's.

Inspired by long-term investigations into the cultural encounters and mixtures of the Danish-German border region, I wanted to widen the perspective and make a comparison between the application of architecture in a series of border regions, in which national affiliation, identity and power have shifted through history. The focus was mainly directed towards the old German border regions, whose nationality changed in the wave of World War I: Alsace (Elsaβ), Lorraine (Lothringen) and the western parts of Poland (former provinces of Posen and Westpreussen).

    Mariusz KULESZA Dorota KACZYŃSKA Department of Political Geography and Regional Studies University of Łódź, POLAND No. 11 MULTINATIONAL CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE EASTERN PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF POLAND AND LITHUANIA Poland is a country with the largest territorial variation in the history of Europe. These changes involved not only the temporary gaining and losing some provinces that were later regained (as was the case for most European countries), but a transition of the country from its natural geographical frames deep into neighbouring ecumenes, while losing its own historical borders in the process. There were also times when the Polish state would disappear from the map of Europe for extended periods. Poland is also a country which for centuries was a place for foreigners where foreigners settled, lead here by various reasons, and left their mark, to a smaller or greater extent in the country's history. They also left numerous places in the Republic that became important not only for Poles. Today, these places belong to both Polish and non-Polish cultures and they become a very significant element of our cultural heritage, a deposit within Polish borders. Up until mid-14th century, Poland was a medium-sized, mostly ethnically homogenous country which faced west both culturally and economically. The eastern border of the country was also the border of Latin Christianity, with the Orthodox Ruthenia and Pagan Lithuania beyond it. In the second half of the 14th century, this situation changed significantly. First, the Red Ruthenia and Podolia were annexed by Poland, and another breakthrough came with the union with Lithuania, which was a Eastern European superpower back then.

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hp_theses/686 For more information, please contact [email protected]. High and Mighty: A Comparative Analysis of the Wood-Framed Steeples of John McArthur, Jr. Abstract In order to understand this early period of John McArthur, Jr.’s career, this thesis examines the ideological principles, architectural professionalism and influences, and structural experimentation and performance of two remarkably tall wood-framed steeples designed by McArthur. Understanding these steeple designs perhaps sheds light on what compelled him, later in his career, to repeatedly set out to design structures that would be the highest in their cities or country. John McArthur, Jr.'s designs for the steeples of two Presbyterian churches, while they were stylistically representative of many churches of the Round-Arched style built during that period, they were remarkably high. Their unusual height, particularly Tenth Presbyterian in Philadelphia, rearing up to 248 feet, is the result of a confluence of factors. They represent the result of competition among ambitious church congregations, competition among architects in an emerging profession, and McArthur’s own structural confidence.
