An interesting assignment.

For my “The Age of Light, History of a Brave New World.” class I have started an interesting assignment.

We have been given an task to investigate some of the changes that have occurred since the great Quakes. I have decided to take a practical point of view, and map some of the Celian buildings around Tosadae, to highlight the adaptive qualities of today’s people.

I don’t have any architectural training, but I have managed to obtain some of the floor plans of the Celian buildings here on Campus. I have chosen to sketch some of the more major ones, and theories their original tasks, and the way they have been used at Tosadae. This brings in a certain level of interpretation on my part, which appeals to my interest in archaeology. There have been many articles detailing the Celian buildings that rose up after the great quakes, and I have drawn mainly on these to provide ideas of what they may have once been used for.

I have also included some work on what is perhaps the most famous Celian building, the Orbis Temple near the Vacary Settlement on Atlantia. We know that some of the buildings at Tosadae share similar design features to the temple, and I have included thoughts about the some of the functions of the buildings based on the artifacts found in them which have since been cleared out.

I hope my grade is comparable to the amount of fun I am having researching this!
