The Results of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping
The Results of the Norman Conquest on Anglo-Saxon Landscaping The introduction of the Normans in the 2nd half of the eleventh century irreparably altered The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle. The expertise of the Normans exceeded the Anglo-Saxons' in design and farming at the time of the conquest. However, there was no time for home life, domesticated design, and decoration until the Normans had conquered the whole realm. Castles were more standard designs and often constructed on blustery hills, where their people devoted both time and space to practicing offense and defense, while monasteries were considerable stone buildings, mostly situated in the widest, most fertile hollows. Tranquil activities such as gardening were out of place in these desolate citadels. The early Anglo-Norman style of architecture is represented in Berkeley Castle, which is most likely the most unscathed example we have. It is said that the keep was introduced during William the Conqueror's time. A spacious terrace recommended for exercising and as a means to stop enemies from mining under the walls runs around the building. One of these terraces, a charming bowling green, is covered grass and flanked by an aged yew hedge cut into the form of crude battlements.
Hydro-Statics & Public Fountains: The Fundamentals
Hydro-Statics & Public Fountains: The Fundamentals When in equilibrium, liquid delivers force to its container or any other material it comes in contact with. There are two types of force, hydrostatic energies and external forces. The pressure applied by the liquid against a level wall is identical at each and every point where it makes contact with the wall. When an object is thoroughly immersed in a liquid, vertical force is applied to the object at every point. This applied force is known as buoyancy, while the notion itself is known as Archimedes’ principle. When hydrostatic force is exerted on an area of liquid, this will become hydrostatic pressure. The containers that make up a city’s fountains, wells, and its water supply system are applications of these concepts.
