In the modern world having a new design, new idea, or newest device is what society is looking for. Carl Sagan once said “We learn from the past to understand the future. As UVU students we were challenged to take a building from our area and create a measured drawing analytique. By examining and measuring each piece of the building we were better able to understand the proportions, hierarchy, materials, and orders of the building. By being able learn from the past architects work we are better able to apply their knowledge into our future designs. The ancient architectures are always teaching us not through their words, but through their works of art that they left behind. We can find solutions to problems that we currently have in just studding their buildings. The Thomas s Monson building formally known as the Enos Wall Manson, is a historical building in Salt Lake City, Utah. It was constructed between 1909-1914 and the cost to build was around $55,000. Richard A. Kletting was the Neoclassical trained architect that designed the mansion. It was designed to be the most beautiful and the most comfortable building in the west during its time.
