Earth: It is the earth-principle creating habitations of physical form for the soul; the material energy in the state of cohesion called earth or the solid state; and the physical consciousness.
Wind/Air: Wind/Air is twofold in nature - tangible atmosphere and an intangible, volatile substratum which may be termed spiritual air.
Fire: Fire is the igneous, radiant and electric energy which is visible and invisible, discernible and indiscernible - a spiritual, ethereal flame manifesting through a material, substantial flame.
Aether: In ancient thought, it is the ever-present spiritual energy inherent in all parts of the universe and is the medium through which the powers of higher worlds act on the material plane. According to ancient and medieval science aether, also spelled æther or ether, is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere. Plato described aether as "that which God used in the delineation of the universe."
Water: It is the liquid condition of material being. Water consists of a dense fluid and a potential essence of a fluidic nature.

In classical mythology, Hermanubis was a god who combined Hermes (Greek mythology) with Anubis (Egyptian mythology). Hermes and Anubis's similar responsibilities (they were both conductors of souls) led to the god Hermanubis.
En la mitología clásica, Hermanubis era un dios mezcla de Hermes (mitología griega) y Anubis (mitología egipcia). Tenían las función común de conducir las almas de los muertos.
Built between1869 and 1870, the Royal Arcade, designed by Charles Webb (1821 - 1898) has acted as an opulent shopping hub in Melbourne's city centre since it was first opened by Melbourne's Lord Mayor of the time, Charles Amess.
As one of Melbourne's most beautiful arcades, the Royal Arcade is built in a classical Renaissance Revival style featuring Baroque elements to demark the main entrance of the arcade on the facade itself. The glass feature also serves to allow light from the street into the arcade, adding to its brilliance. Pillasters and aedicules make a fine composition, with a coat of arms forming the central feature of a balustraded roofline.
Originally running between Bourke Street, Little Collins Street, the Royal Arcade has always been a place for elegant shopping expeditions for Melburnians with money to spend. In 1902, a decision was made to link the arcade to Elizabeth street, so an annex was added, allowing for the opening of further businesses and a throughway to Elizabeth street from the arcade.
Around this time it was also used for luncheon concerts, where shoppers and music lovers alike could sit beneath its glassed in roof and enjoy the entertainment. Today it houses some of the most well-known and beautiful shops in Melbourne.
Charles Webb also designed Melbourne landmarks such as the Church of Christ on Swanston Street in 1863, Burlington Terrace in East Melbourne in 1866, Mandeville Hall in Toorak in 1868, and the Grand Hotel (now known as the Windsor Hotel) in 1883.

The Qutb Minar also spelled Qutab or Qutub, is an array of monuments and buildings at Mehrauli in Delhi, India. The construction of Qutb Minar was intended as a Victory Tower, to celebrate the victory of Mohammed Ghori over Rajput king, Prithviraj Chauhan, in 1192 AD, by his then viceroy, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, who later became the first Sultan of Delhi of Mamluk dynasty. After the death of the commissioner, the Minar was added upon by his successor Iltutmish (aka Altamash) and much later by Firoz Shah Tughlaq, a Tughlaq dynasty, Sultan of Delhi in 1368 AD.
The complex was added to by many subsequent rulers, including Firoz Shah Tughlaq and Ala ud din Khilji as well as the British. Some constructions in the complex are the Qutb Minar, the Quwwat ul-Islam Mosque, the Alai Gate, the Alai Minar, the Iron pillar, and the tombs of Iltutmish, Alauddin Khilji and Imam Zamin; surrounded by Jain temple ruins. In all, Islamic fanatic ruler Qutb-ud-din Aibak destroyed 27 Hindu and jain temples and reused the building materials for construction of Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque and the Qutub Minar according to a Persian inscription still on the inner eastern gateway
Today, the adjoining area spread over with a host of old monuments, including Balban's tomb, has been developed by Archeological Survey of India (ASI) as the Mehrauli Archeological Park, and INTACH has restored some 40 monuments in the Park. It is also the venue of the annual 'Qutub Festival', held in November–December, where artists, musicians and dancers perform over three days. Qutb Minar complex, with 3.9 million visitors, was India's most visited monument in 2006, ahead of the Taj Mahal, which drew about 2.5 million visitors.

Description
William Smith, 1870. Simple single-storey mission hall situated at centre of Footdee's North Square. Coursed, roughly squared and snecked rubble with raised brick dressings and round-arched openings. W elevation: 4 round-arched windows with raised cills and brick voussoirs; above, central circular window. Brick bellcote incorporating chimney at apex. Single-storey lean-to runs length of E elevation. 2-leaf round-arched doors to far left and right of S elevation.
Fixed-pane glazing. Grey slate with large rooflights to lower pitch. Ashlar skews. Cast-iron rainwater goods.
North Square Mission Hall occupies the central area of the North Square, reflecting its significance as an integral part of village life. The building is plain, with simple detailing throughout, and as such, responds sympathetically to its setting and context. Known locally as 'the schoolie' the hall was built for general as well as religious purposes and continues to operate as a multi-purpose meeting space.
The entire Footdee village was added to the statutory list in 1967 as a single entity. The village was subsequently given Conservation Area status in 1968. At resurvey in 2006, each building within the Conservation Area was re-assessed separately. Key examples, demonstrating both individual architectural interest and representing the history and development of the village as a whole, were selected for listing.
Footdee is a particularly interesting example of a planned housing development purpose-built to re-house Aberdeen's local fishing community. Laid out in 1809 by John Smith, then Superintendent Of The Town's Public Works. Smith went on to establish himself as one of Aberdeen's key architects. Occupying an isolated spit of land to the SE of Aberdeen's city centre, its regimented squares have been described as 'a cross between the neo-classical aspirations of Aberdeen and the close-knit fishing communities of the north-east'.
The two squares of Footdee originally contained 28 single-storey thatched houses although this increased when the later Middle Row (circa 1837) and Pilot Square (circa 1855) were added. The entrances on each of the North and South squares were filled in the 1870's by William Smith (son of John and architect of Balmoral Castle). He also added additional storeys to the East and West sides of South Square creating a tenement feel.
This was an attempt to ease crowding resulting from an influx of fishing families from other less prosperous areas and to help try to enforce the 'one-house-one-family' rule.
The Town Council decided to start selling the dwellings to occupiers in 1880, beginning a period of incremental development and reconstruction. Additional storeys and dormers were added piecemeal by the new owners as funds allowed. The result is one of individuality expressed within the constraints of a strictly formal plan and is a contributing factor to the special architectural and historical interest of Footdee as a whole.
Throughout the 19th century, 'tarry sheds' were added to the communal land within the squares opposite each dwelling and now every dwelling has its own shed. Originally constructed from drift wood and other found materials, the sheds have been built and rebuilt in an idiosyncratic manner over the years in a variety of materials with rendered brick now predominating slightly (2006). Some timber built sheds remain, predominantly on the North side of North Square.
Referred to locally and historically as 'Fittie', the derivation of which remains uncertain although a number of suggestions have been put forward. The Church of St Fittick is situated half a mile away to the south. 'Footdee' is a more recent and literal Anglicisation, derived from its proximity to the mouth of the River Dee.

This imposing house is an example of the Classic Box style of architecture. Rectangular in shape, it presents a wide front façade and tall façades on the sides. The hipped roof has a moderate pitch and ridge running parallel to the front façade, adding to its wide rectangular appearance. The wrap around front porch is supported by a series of classical columns on top of heavy piers with slanted sides. Mrs. George McKay, a piano teacher, resided in the house for many years.
