This study focuses on the architectural precedents in practice and academic setting as a form of research on the history, processes, and theories as well as the strategies that can be re-interpreted or referenced in the current works. In this case, the ancient Egyptian pyramids in the past are used as precedents to inform the manner of solving certain issues; perhaps in the organization of a plan, detail development, review the existing relationships or strategy advancement for site comparison.
Construction began on the rock and roll hall of fame building in New York on the 20th April 1983. In January 1985 Cleveland, Ohio was chosen as the hall of fame’s permanent home. The building was later opened 2nd September 1995. For more than 40 years as an institution, the rock and roll hall of fame has created lots of memories on some of the greatest artist in the music history. The designer of this incredible building Ieoh Ming Pei, FAIA, RIBA, also commonly known as I.M. Pei. He is a Chinese American architect born in Guangzhou and raised In Hong Kong and Shanghai. I.M. Pei said he was trying to capture the energy of rock n roll in the shape of the hall, but in doing so, he also captured the energy of the ancient Egyptian pyramids. The 150,000 square foot building has a glass-enclosed, double pyramid adjacent to a 162-foot tower both of which rises high above the shores of Lake Erie. The rock and roll hall of fame’s exhibition space stretches over 55,000 square feet and seven levels. In ancient Egypt, a pyramid was referred to as mer; translated means ‘place of ascendance’. The rock and roll hall of fame resembles a supersized glass pyramid the structure pays homage to those musicians who have indeed ascended the summit of popular music. The rock and roll hall of fame plans to install the now revised improvements, they intent to liven up a bleak. Plans for an outdoor stage to have concerts performed by the local bands for five days a week.
The Egyptian pyramid is ancient pyramid-shaped masonry structures located in Egypt. Pyramid structure was first constructed after 2700 BC, the ancient Egyptians began building pyramids until around 1700 BC. The first pyramid was erected during the third dynasty by the pharaoh Djoser and his architect Imhotep. The precedents of this building apart from the largest one includes the oldest pyramids structure which is in Egypt called the great pyramid of Giza also known as the pyramid of Khufu or the pyramid Cheops. It is the oldest of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the only one to remain largely intact. It is Egypts oldest structure which has motivated several buildings and architects in the country and worldwide. The lifespan of these precedents has proved that if well taken care of and properly designed to avoid being destroyed by either deliberate or natural causes. The pyramids mentioned earlier is what the rock and roll hall of fam might look like if the inductees were organized into five increasing elite levels. As of 2012, there are 180 inductees in the performance category which then divides up nicely into five groups each with multiplies of twelve artists. This hierarchy is extremely handy when the future Hall of farmers discuss and determine where they might fit in amongst the rock community. Therefore, they have assigned levels there are no specific rankings within a group. The hall of fame generates a civic identity that reaches out to the public and the people love it, also anchors Cleveland’s developing waterfront as a nationally significant center for entertainment, culture and a learning experience.
The Ziggurat at Ur was one of the most breathtaking, magnificent structures of all time and is still remains of it are extant at tall Al Muqayyar in Iraq, about 42 kilometers south of Babylon. A few reconstruction drawings show it as a freestanding object similar to an Egyptian pyramid, it was in actuality surrounded by precinct walls and connected to a large square shaped sacristy dedicated to Nanna’s wife Ningal.
As of November 2008, sources cite either 118 or 138 as the number of identified Egyptian pyramids. Most of the pyramids were built as tombs for the country’s pharaohs, their families and their consorts during the old and middle kingdom periods. It took around twenty years for a force of 100,00 oppressed slaves to build a pyramid. The great pyramids today no longer reach their original heights, the tomb robbers and vandals have removed most of the bodies and the funeral goods.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the nature of the plan and section of the building is referenced from the rock and roll hall of fame and A Global History of Architecture. The design is appropriate in reviewing the conventional approaches to inform the current techniques and processes. Generally, there exist buildings that can be used as the precedence for the construction of modern architecture.
