            Out of the building described in class I choose to describe memorial hall politically, socially, and culturally. The exterior of the building resembles a classical style of design with the columns, pediment, and the tower like structure above. This building was built after world war one as a memorial for soldiers. The architect used many key elements of classical design when constructing this building which plays into the cultural aspect of this building. The main room inside this building is used for a classroom for learning and during the time it was built it was used for lectures and performances. During this time period education was bringing together different sexes and races in one place and this adds to the cultural aspect of this building. This building’s other purpose was designed for performances given the outside seating, and balcony as well as the huge stage inside. This design feature explains very well the social aspect of the building, bringing people together for entertainment. Politically this building stands for higher learning and as a memorial for the soldiers that passed away in world war one. The exterior of the building represent the soldiers while the classroom inside represent the learning that took place in the past and how it continues to take place in the present.
