Trajan's Column
Trajan's Column is a Roman triumphal column in Rome, Italy, that commemorates Roman emperor Trajan's victory in the Dacian Wars. It was probably constructed under the supervision of the architect Apollodorus of Damascus at the order of the Roman Senate. It is located in Trajan's Forum, north of the Roman Forum. Wikipedia
May 25th, 2011 – A group of ten students from MSOE released for public view their Lego rendition of the Leaning Tower of Pisa created for display at Festa Italiana's Piazza di LEGO, a children's environment where they may participate in daily Lego competitions while inspired by the tower.
The students of engineering were happy to share the technical details of their achievement. Their 5 foot tall Lego tower weighs in at 150 pounds , uses 17,700 individual Lego pieces, and took 93 working hours to build. The scale of the tower is 1in:4ft. The biggest challenge of their tower was the introduction of the lean, itself, which employs a steel and wood truss in the center of the tower for support.
The list of students (not all present at the press conference) that worked on the project are as follows:
Justin Cosgrove – Project Leader – Architectural Engineering Junior
Jessica Phillips – Architectural Engineering Junior
Kyle Welsh – Architectural Engineering Junior
Sam Pekarscik – Architectural Engineering Junior
Elise Pinkerton – Architectural Engineering Junior
Kaylie Lenz – Architectural Engineering Junior
Hunter Day – Electrical Engineering Junior
Marlon Petty – Electrical Engineering Junior
Jessica Iverson – Architectural Engineering Junior
Adam Jablonski – Architectural Engineering Freshman

The Sanctuary and Temple of Apollo Hylates at Kourion
Situated about 2,5 kilometres west of the ancient city of Kourion, the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates was one of the principal religious centres of Cyprus where Apollo was worshipped as Hylates, god of the woodlands.
This well - defined architectural complex in Cyprus offers insight into the development of a Cypriot rural sanctuary from the Bronze Age through to the end of paganism on the island. There were three fairly distinct building periods. The Archaic Sanctuary developed essentially in the 7th century B.C. while the Ptolemaic Sanctuary belongs to the 3rd century BC. Finally, the Roman Sanctuary dates to the 1st century A.D.
It appears the Archaic Sanctuary originally comprised an enclosure in the centre of the later, much larger sanctuary. The present remains date to the mid -1st century A.D.The complex of the sanctuary included a palaestra, stoa, the treasury, the baths, the archaic temenos, the circular monument, the central courtyard and the temple of Apollo. Destroyed by an earthquake in A.D. 365 it was later occupied by squatters. Several of the collapsed buildings have been restored.
The Roman Temple of Apollo Hylates was a magnificent structure occupying the most commanding position at the end of the sacred street of the sanctuary. It had two main architectural phases. The first, dating back to the very end of the Classical or Early Hellenistic period, was a single construction, rectangular in shape. The foundation of the temple and the lower row of blocks decorated with a simple cyma belong to this early phase. The temple was rebuilt in the second half of the 1st century A.D. The approach to the new Roman temple was along an impressive staircase. Its interior followed the architectural features of the earlier temple, but the entire building was constructed on a higher level and had a podium corresponding to the lower row of blocks of the earlier temple. The high podium is a manifestly Roman feature. The temple was destroyed by the severe earthquake of A.D. 364/365.
The temple of Olympian Zeus, Athen, Greece
The construction began during the reign Peisistratos in the 6th century BC. There were several attempts to finish the temple. The work was brought to completion by the Roman Emperor Hadrian 650 years later, in 132 AD (or 129). It was destroyed in the Middle Ages (probably by an earthquake) and it used as construction material.
