Assignment Grand Tour Experience

Italy. This is a country that can be expressed through its past times, architecture, and most of all loveliness. Fast paced, appealing language, intense heat, and beautiful flowers fill the lives of Italians daily and slowly became a part of mine as my time was spent there. The unique features of fountains, sculptures, and buildings expanded my learning and cultural experience by the effortless work each artists performs. The splendor of Italy can only be described by the history of the architecture that still remains. The places I saw represented what will continue to teach those the past of this country. As for the future, it will continue to be an inspiration towards upcoming design and architecture. Beauty is immersed through everything Italia has to offer, either through its scenic aspect or just the aurora it portrays.

France. This country offers the taste of fine pastries, present architecture extremities, and snooty luxury. It includes modern design intertwined with historical monuments creating a new way of expression: some hateful, some well done. The architecture reaches new limits with an artsy taste, yet still keeping the old in a continuous flow among everything else. The classy taste of each palace shows where their country stands and the beauty that lies within each exterior and interior. Gardens show the softer side of the country and the magnificent gem that is within. The French attitude can be considered to be more upfront easily relatable to the feel of New York. It is a perfect blend of poise and history.

England. This lush place is a perfect combination of city with countryside. It's filled with greenery, british accents, theatres, and culture. Its history has no end and is exemplified through many houses and palaces throughout each city. It includes iconic representations of the country’s personality through their architecture. Ornate details are shown throughout each piece of construction. The many free museums offer a great informational aspect that can be done leisurely. The weather would not be considered the most appealing aspect, rainy and cold is never a good mix. The sophistication of the population and structural design create an overall at ease feeling.
