A walk through Bengal's architecture

Bengali architecture has a long and rich history, fusing indigenous elements from the Indian subcontinent with influences from other areas of the world. Present-day Bengal architecture includes the nation of Bangladesh as well as the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and Assam's Barak Valley. West Bengal’s architecture is an amalgamation of ancient urban architecture, religious architecture, rural vernacular architecture, colonial townhouses and country houses, and modern urban styles. Bengal architecture is the architecture of Wind, Water, and Clay. The Pala Empire (750–1120), which was founded in Bengal and was the final Buddhist imperial force on the Indian subcontinent, saw the apex of ancient Bengali architecture. The majority of donations went to Buddhist stupas, temples, and viharas. Southeast Asian and Tibetan architecture was influenced by Pala architecture. The Grand Vihara of Somapura, which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the most well-known structure erected by the Pala rulers.

The Grand Vihara of Somapura

According to historians, the builders of Angkor Wat in Cambodia may have taken inspiration from Somapura. Bengal architecture became known for its use of terracotta due to the scarcity of stone in the area. Clay from the Bengal Delta was used to make bricks.

The temple architecture has distinct features like the rich wall decoration, often known as the terracotta temples, which was one of the remarkable elements of Bengali temple architecture. The double-roofed architecture of thatched huts was replicated by Bengali temples. Square platforms were used to construct the temples. Burnt brick panels with figures in geometric patterns or substantial sculptural compositions served as the temples' adornment.

Dochala style

These served as models for many temples that were built in undivided Bengal. Construction materials used in ancient times included wood and bamboo. Bengal has alluvial soil, so there isn't a lot of stone there. The bricks that were utilized to build the architectural components were made from stone, wood, black salt, and granite. Bengal has two different types of temples: the Rekha type, which is smooth or ridged curvilinear, and the Bhadra form, which has horizontal tiers that gradually get smaller and is made up of the amalaka sila. Mughal architecture, including forts, havelis, gardens, caravanserais, hammams, and fountains, spread throughout the area during the Mughal era in Bengal. Mosques built by the Mughals in Bengal also took on a distinctive regional look. The two major centers of Mughal architecture were Dhaka and Murshidabad. The do-chala roof custom from North India was imitated by the Mughals.

The Rasmancha is a heritage building located at Bishnupur, Bankura district, West Bengal.

Influence of the world on Bengal architecture: Although the Indo-Saracenic architectural style predominated in the area, Neo-Classical buildings from Europe were also present, particularly in or close to trading centers. While the majority of country estates had a stately country house, Calcutta, Dacca, Panam, and Chittagong all had extensive 19th and early 20th-century urban architecture that was equivalent to that of London, Sydney, or other British Empire towns. Calcutta experienced the onset of art deco in the 1930s. Indo-Saracenic architecture can be seen in Ahsan Manzil and Curzon Hall in Dhaka, Chittagong Court Building in Chittagong, and Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad.

Hazarduari Palace in Murshidabad

The Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, designed by Vincent Esch also has Indo-Saracenic features, possibly inspired by the Taj Mahal. Additionally, Kolkata's bungalows, which are being demolished to make way for high-rise structures, have elements of art deco. The 1950s in Chittagong saw a continuation of Art Deco influences. The Bengali modernist movement, spearheaded by Muzharul Islam, was centered in East Pakistan. In the 1960s, many well-known international architects, such as Louis Kahn, Richard Neutra, Stanley Tigerman, Paul Rudolph, Robert Boughey, and Konstantinos Doxiadis, worked in the area.

The Jatiyo Sangshad Bhaban

This iconic piece of contemporary Bangladeshi architecture, was created by Louis Kahn. Midsized skyscrapers dominate the cityscapes of contemporary Bengali cities, which are frequently referred to as "concrete jungles." With well-known architects like Rafiq Azam, architecture services play a key role in the urban economies of the area. Overall Bengal architecture was influenced by various contemporaries of their time and continues to evolve.

Prestwald Hall

Hi guys!!

I'm sharing Prestwald Hall . This is the 9th building for my English Manors Collection, and I will add many more!

House History: Prestwold Hall was, for many years, the seat of the Packe family. Before that time, it was the home of the Skipwith family. After the death of Major Robert Christopher Packe (born c.1783) - one time Aide-de-camp to King George III - who was killed during the Battle of Waterloo, the hall passed to his nephew George Hussey Packe who held the hall and estate until his death in 1874.

The Hall was remodelled by architect William Burn in 1842–1844, incorporating the fabric of a mid-18th-century H-plan house. It was Grade I listed in 1951.

One of the finest rooms inside the house is the Entrance Hall with its richly coloured marbled plaster work in the Italian style. The painted ceiling was inspired by Raphael’s Vatican grotesques and incorporates miniature landscapes, showing the house before and after its remodelling between 1842 and 1844. Below the ceiling, wreathing the room, are small medallion busts of the poets from Chaucer to Scott, positioned in the spandrels and are likely inspired by Alberti's external arcade at the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini. An arcade opens on to a vaulted corridor leading to a top lit inner hall: these spaces also marbled. Off the corridor, the cantilevered stone staircase survives from the eighteenth century house, and was given its bracketed brass balusters by William Wilkins (1751-1815) in 1805.

The Dining Room, added by Wilkins in 1805, was incorporated into the remodelling undertaken by the Scottish architect William Burn in 1842. The room is overlooked by two dramatic full length portraits of Sir Edward Hussey Packe, KBE (1878 – 1946) and the Hon. Lady Mary Sydney Packe (née Colebrooke, 1890 – 1973) by the painter Glyn Philpot RA (1844 – 1947). The portrait of Lady Packe, painted in 1911, was described by the art historian Robin Gibson OBE as an ‘amazing feat of virtuosity’. Its elongated elegance and introspective characterisation is totally without the fashion-plate vulgarity of much Edwardian portraiture. Other portraits hang in this room of the Packe family including a painting of Sir Christopher Packe (1595 – 1682) who purchased the house in the 17th century painted by Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen (1593 –1661).

The library extends nearly the entire length of the house when the large doors that separate it from the drawing room are opened, connecting the two rooms. With clever use of constructional steel, William Burn was able to create these long adjoining rooms. The windows rise from floor level and open onto the garden which enhances the notion that Prestwold was designed in the style of an Italian classical villa. The doors and bookcases in library were made for George Hussey Packe (1846–1908) by Gillows of Lancaster and London in 1875.

A conservatory fills the recessed central bay at the front of the house, and projects out towards the garden. Behind the glass and elegant Doric pilasters, are well planted raised beds with a number of exotic plants and flowers

How reputation Reinvented Taylor Swift’s Persona, Part 2

Hi everyone, I hope you’re having a good week so far!

For this week’s post, I’m back with an update on my research pre-project about Taylor Swift’s reputation album. I will discuss other sources I’ll use to answer my research question: How did Taylor Swift use her album reputation to redefine her persona and reclaim control over her image?

As I’ve mentioned in my last post, reputation marked a major reinvention for Taylor Swift, allowing her to respond to public criticism and shift her public image. To support my analysis, I decided to include several new primary sources that highlight her transformation:

The music video for “...Ready For It?”, reflecting Taylor Swift’s new persona through dark and bold images.

The fact that she avoided traditional media tours and interviews, allowing the album to speak for itself (I’m not sure if it can be counted as a primary source, though).

The secret shows she held for her fans, helping her connect intimately with her audience and reinforce their support.

The interview she gave to Zane Lowe in 2019, in which she discusses her artistic evolution during the reputation era.

Her interview with Rolling Stone (2019), where she describes reputation as “a love story in amongst chaos,” a quotation that explains her blend of self-assertion and vulnerability during this period.

The “Making of a Song” series, which provides an intimate look into her creative choices. If I can’t access the “Look What You Made Me Do” episode (I’m currently struggling to find it), I will use the “I Did Something Bad” or “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” episodes to show that she chose not to let others define her persona.

My secondary sources will include Sydney Risher’s thesis “Look What You Made Me Do: A Rhetorical Analysis of Taylor Swift’s Persona”, since Risher analyzes how reputation acts as a calculated response to the “cancel culture” Taylor Swift faced. I will also use Richard Dyer and Paul McDonald’s book Stars (I’m still waiting on its arrival!) to look at how public personas are both authentic and constructed.

I’ll also use key concepts from Keith Negus’ book, focusing on "Identities", "Audiences" and "Mediation". The "Identities" chapter will help me discuss how Taylor Swift reinvented her public identity and portrayed multiple roles (from vengeful to vulnerable). I’ll also analyze the role of her active fanbase in shaping her image. The "Mediation" chapter will allow me to discuss how Taylor Swift’s visuals and sounds reinforce her powerful persona, and how the repetition of her music videos encourages new interpretations.

Thanks again for reading, and as always, feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions. I’m looking forward to reading your comments :)

Meet Bungle!

Pronouns: He / Him

Once a Nomad that traveled the realms in his youth, he eventually ventured to The Sky Kingdom to join the construction crew in helping with the developments of settlements as a means to make a living for himself.

One day, when a project took him to Prairie Peaks, he came across a rare gemstone only known in ancient records as Light Stones, and upon touching it, caused a great surge of energy to engulf his body and granted him powers only seen in The Enlightened.

A drawback to this power, however, was that it made him go blind, as his body couldn’t fully handle the immense power surging through him, so he has to wear a blindfold. Despite this, Tasman knew he was destined for greatness, and took him in to become a member of The Elders Council so he could learn to master his powers with the aid of a traveling shaman who suffered a similar fate; Imänat.

Although Bungle is naturally strong, the powers of the Light Stones makes him so powerful, it’s believed he could rival strength of King Resh himself, but accessing this power requires him to undergo severe stress, sometimes even falling unconscious and awakening a hidden, merciless warrior that takes vengeance upon those that drove him to release this power.

Despite being the youngest of the group, Bungle is a gentle giant with a heart full of compassion and care for his friends without concern of what others think about him.

Both Narmel and Sydney took a liking to Bungle’s gentle demeanor, but Perth quickly became best friends with him when he found someone of impressive strength that wasn’t a Elder. With Perth’s guidance to him using his strength when not around Imänat, these two are nearly inseparable.

Those who bring harm to his friends will soon meet his hidden ire, as he looses all concern of his wellbeing in favor of the safety of those he cares about.

D's D&D Recap: Session 1

Last night's session took the party into a mineshaft that had been overrun by a group of Kobolds, leading to a few unexpected discoveries, and a sizeable reward.

The Party's first challenge was figuring out how to navigate the space. Cramped. Tight. And dark. And only half of them had Darkvison.

Through a few clever uses of the Light cantrip, and a few moments of stealthy scouting by party members with Darkvison, the party discovers large quantities of radioactive ore present within the mine, as well as a group of Kobolds, bickering amongst themselves about their leader, a figure known to the Kobolds as "Glowee".

After stealthily dispatching them, the party continued further into the mine, uncovering a corpse, hidden deep in the mines, grievously wounded and swollen from what appears to be some sort of allergic reaction. It is unknown what caused the swelling, but the Kobolds they had just defeated had been armed with Love scorpions tied to the end of sticks, suggesting the body may have been repeatedly stung to death by an overwhelming number of creatures. The party finds a few valuables on the body (a pair of enchanted goggles and a Handy Haversack containing multiple precious gems stones, holding a value vastly more substantial than the reward they're expecting from their pest control)

During this search, the artificer confronted one group of kobolds, offering them a peaceful opportunity to return the stolen Ore and flee. Though initially intimidated by the artificer, this confrontation ultimately led to the quick and effective slaughter of this group of kobolds.

Finally, they managed to locate the area of the mine where the kobold incursion occured, and discovering Glowee, a heavily irradiated and glowing Kobold, who had been feeding harvesting moss that was grown on the radioactive ore, and feeding it to his followers. After setting a cunning trap, and luring the kobolds over a series of caltrop, the party was able to defeat the remaining members of Glowees tribe.

After packing the kobold bodies up into a mine cart, and collecting their payments, it is discovered that the orders that lead to the breach within the mine had been forged, and that someone had intentionally sabotaged the drilling equipment. Following a brief investigation (and a few instances of intimidating the miners) it's discovered that the body found in the mine was that of Sydney, a kindly old miner who was killed when the kobolds breached the mines. His body was hidden during the escape, so as to avoid an investigation, and to allow for someone else to take responsibility for a minor workplace accident as opposed to the whole quarry being under investigation for manslaughter.

Following a series of confessions, justice is served, and the party returned to their rooms in the local tavern, having collected over 1,750gp worth of valuables, and enough "repossessed" metal Ore to begin construction of their Spelljamming ship.

Core Drilling Sydney for Concrete Floors, Staircases, and Lift Shafts

When creating precise openings in concrete floors, staircases, or lift shaft installations, core drilling in Sydney is an indispensable tool in the construction industry. 

Whether you're a contractor, architect, or property owner, understanding the nuances of core drilling can help you make informed decisions for your project. We'll explore what core drilling services entail, their applications, and why they are critical for projects requiring concrete floor openings, staircases, and lift shaft openings.

What is Core Drilling?

Core drilling is a specialised service to create precise circular cuts or holes in concrete, stone, asphalt, and other solid materials. Unlike conventional drilling, core drilling uses a hollow, cylindrical drill bit, usually embedded with diamond or other hard materials, to cut through the concrete. This method ensures clean, precise openings without causing structural damage to the surrounding areas.

Applications of Core Drilling

Concrete Floor Openings: Core drilling is ideal for creating holes for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installations in concrete floors. It's precise and minimises the need for extensive repairs or alterations.

Staircases and Lift Shaft Openings: In multi-story buildings, core drilling is crucial for creating openings for staircases and lift shafts. Its precision ensures that these critical elements align perfectly across different levels.

Utility Installations and Upgrades: For installing or upgrading utilities such as water, gas, and sewer lines, core drilling provides a non-invasive method to create necessary pathways.

Advantages of Core Drilling Services

Precision and Accuracy: Core drilling offers unmatched precision, making it possible to create holes of exact diameters and depths, essential for complex projects.

Minimal Noise and Vibration: Core drilling generates less noise and vibration than traditional drilling methods, making it ideal for occupied buildings or sensitive environments.

Dust and Debris Control: Core drilling services often include dust extraction systems, minimising the mess and ensuring a cleaner work environment.

Structural Integrity Maintenance: The technique is non-percussive, meaning it doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the concrete during the drilling process.

Choosing the Right Core Drilling Service Provider

Selecting a competent core drilling service provider is crucial for the success of your project. Consider the following:

Experience and Expertise: Look for a provider with a proven track record in handling similar projects.

Equipment Quality: Ensure the provider uses high-quality, well-maintained drilling equipment.

Safety Standards: The provider should adhere to strict safety standards to ensure the well-being of their workers and your property.

Flexibility and Reliability: Choose a service that can adapt to your project's specific needs and timelines.

Preparing for Core Drilling

Before the core drilling process begins, it's important to prepare the site:

Site Assessment: Conduct a thorough site assessment to identify potential hazards or obstacles.

Marking the Drilling Points: Clearly mark where the holes are to be drilled to ensure accuracy.

Utility Mapping: Check for any underlying utilities to avoid accidental damage.

Conclusion

Core drilling services are vital in modern construction, especially for projects requiring precision to create concrete structure openings. Understanding its applications, benefits, and factors to consider when choosing a service provider ensures that your project proceeds smoothly, safely, and efficiently. 

With the right core drilling Sydney partner, you can confidently tackle any project, whether installing a new staircase, creating lift shaft openings, or any other construction endeavour involving concrete.

Why Built-In Wardrobes Are the Perfect Storage Solution for Sydney Homes

In Sydney, where a variety of architectural designs and seaside settings necessitate both visual appeal and functionality, stone cladding is quickly taking the lead among designers, builders, and homeowners.

Pool Coping Tiles: What Are They?

The materials used to cover a swimming pool's edge or border are called pool coping tiles. They act as a link between the deck or patio area and the inside of the pool. Coping tiles, which provide a practical barrier and an eye-catching design feature, are placed around the pool's upper edge to complete the pool's construction.

Natural stone, ceramic, porcelain, concrete, and even wood can all be used to create these tiles. Coping tiles not only give the pool a polished appearance but they are also crucial for drainage, water management, and safety.

Are You Looking For The Best Marble Slab Suppliers In Sydney?

Marble is one of the most timeless and elegant materials used in construction and interior design. From countertops and bathroom vanities to flooring and wall cladding, marble slabs elevate any space with their luxurious appeal. If you're considering marble for your next project, finding the right marble slab suppliers in Sydney is essential to ensure high-quality products and exceptional service. But with so many suppliers available, how do you choose the best one for your needs?

In this blog, we will explore the factors to consider when selecting a marble slab supplier in Sydney, what to expect from reputable suppliers, and why investing in top-notch marble is always worth the effort.

Why Marble?

Before diving into supplier details, let’s first understand why marble is such a sought-after material. Known for its durability, versatility, and striking beauty, marble has been used for centuries in architecture and design. It comes in a variety of colors, patterns, and finishes, allowing it to complement almost any style—from classic to contemporary. Whether you want a statement kitchen island, a sleek bathroom, or a luxurious floor finish, marble provides the perfect solution.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Marble Slab Suppliers in Sydney

When it comes to sourcing marble slabs for your project, it’s crucial to choose a supplier who offers not only high-quality material but also great customer service and expertise. Here are some factors to consider:

1. Quality and Variety of Marble Slabs

Top marble slab suppliers offer a wide range of marble types, from classic white marble like Carrara to exotic colored varieties. Ensure the supplier you choose offers the specific type of marble you are interested in and that the slabs are of high quality. Look for suppliers who source marble from reputable quarries and offer materials that are not only beautiful but also durable.

2. Expertise and Guidance

Marble is a natural stone, and each slab has its unique veining and color patterns. A good marble supplier will have the expertise to guide you in selecting the right slabs for your project. Whether you're unsure about which type of marble to choose for your kitchen countertop or need advice on the best finish for your floors, an experienced supplier should be able to assist.

3. Competitive Pricing

While marble is a premium material, the pricing can vary depending on the slab's quality, size, and origin. Reputable suppliers in Sydney offer competitive pricing while ensuring that you don't compromise on quality. Don’t hesitate to get quotes from several suppliers to compare prices, but always remember that the cheapest option may not always be the best.

4. Customer Reviews and Reputation

Word-of-mouth and online reviews are great ways to gauge the reputation of a marble supplier. Look for suppliers who have consistently positive feedback from their customers, particularly regarding the quality of the slabs, delivery times, and customer service. You want a supplier who is reliable, trustworthy, and provides excellent after-sales service.

5. Delivery and Installation Services

A good supplier will not only provide the slabs but will also assist with the delivery and, if required, installation. Depending on the size of your project, transporting large marble slabs can be challenging. Make sure the supplier you choose offers reliable delivery services. Some may even provide installation, ensuring that your marble is handled with care and installed properly.

6. Sustainability Practices

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in construction and design. If eco-friendliness is important to you, choose a supplier who follows sustainable practices, such as sourcing marble responsibly or using eco-friendly packaging materials.
