The window allows the exterior world to be part of the building via reflection enhanced by the darker interior. A long hall runs along the front of the building. The far end of the hall shows the offices. Behind the view is a large chapel.

THE HEARST CASTLE (1919-1947) Nearest city: San Simeon, California, USA Area: More than 90,000 sq ft (8,400 m2) Built: 1919[ Architect: William Randolph Hearst; Julia Morgan Architectural style: Mediterranean Revival, other late 19th and 20th century Revivals
Location Hearst Castle is located near the unincorporated community of San Simeon, California. atop a hill of the Santa Lucia Range at an altitude of 1,600 feet (490 m). Design Hearst was fond of Spanish Revival, but dissatisfied with the crudeness of the colonial structures in California. Mexican colonial architecture had more sophistication but he objected to its profusion of ornamentation. Turning to the Iberian Peninsula for inspiration, he found Renaissance and Baroque examples in southern Spain more to his tastes. Hearst particularly admired a church in Ronda and asked Morgan to pattern the Main Building towers after it The estate is a pastiche of historic architectural styles that its owner admired in his travels around Europe.

CONCLUSION Her buildings really have a timeless quality Not only did Morgan open the field of architecture to women through her example but she also did so by hiring and training women as artists, drafters, and architects for her projects. Julia Morgan, America's first truly independent female architect, left a legacy of more than 700 buildings, many of which are now designated landmarks, in cities throughout California, as well as in Hawaii, Utah, and Illinois. Her work spanned five decades, and the total of her commissions was greater than any other major American architect, including Frank Lloyd Wright. Julia Morgan tells the remarkable story of this architectural pioneer, and features text, drawings, and photographs of the many buildings that still exist. Learnt about the Romanesque and Greek architecture though her designs which also combined the Greek and Moroccan architecture. Mingling of various forms of architecture enlightened me about the form and functions.
