Architecture

The writing should follow the steps given in the uploaded files. 2 of the references in the writing should be from the readings attached. Building A should be in the Nightingale Epoch, St. Thomas Hospital, London, 1871. ?unalterable) Building B can be The Royal Children’s Hospital, Australia (can be any modern hospital). The whole writing MUST avoid Plagiarism. The structure should reference the Harvard comparative analysis template, links below: https://writingcenter.fas.harvard.edu/pages/how-write-comparative-analysis

Write a double-spaced, 5-6 page description of McKim, Mead, and White’s Pennsylvania Station in New York (1906-1910) based upon the images in this pdf. This paper will familiarize you with the way buildings are represented by studying plans and photographs. This is a looking exercise that asks you to use these documents to draw conclusions about what you can observe in the manner of an architectural historian. Indeed, since the station was demolished in 1963 and you never can visit it, these images and plans are the only surviving evidence! You can also find information about Pennsylvania Station in our textbook. This is a looking exercise, so you don’t have to do additional research, but if you do use any information from the textbook – or any other source– it must be cited with a numbered footnote located at the bottom of the page or points will be deducted. Points are taken off for using Wikipedia. For each footnote, you must provide the author, name of the book, publisher, date published, page number, etc. The footnote function is part of your word-processing program. Putting a page number in parentheses is not adequate. If you are unsure about how to footnote, consult The Chicago Manual of Style, The Modern Language Association (MLA) Handbook, or your teaching assistant. Your 5-6 paper should be written as separate answers to the following questions. Number the pages. Refer to the images by using the numbers in the pdf file (figure 1 etc.). Discuss all the images. You do not need to attach the images when you hand in your paper.  Using figure 1, describe the station’s relationship to its site. How is the station different from the buildings around it? How does it relate to the train tracks in the lower left-hand corner of figure 1. The large rectangular building in the foreground of fig. 1 is a post office also designed and built by McKim, Mead, and White in a style similar to the station. Think about how mail might have been delivered in those days. Why was it efficient to locate the post office on top of the railroad tracks?  Describe the exterior of the station (fig. 2). Is it humble, monumental etc.? Compare it to the buildings discussed in recent lectures, which can be found in our textbook. What style of architecture from the past was the station inspired by? What type of impression were the architects trying to make? Describe the plan of the station (fig. 3). Is it symmetrical or asymmetrical? Rational or confusing? What are the most important spaces? By studying the plan and figures 4-8, describe how you might arrive at the station, buy a ticket and get on a train. How does the driveway and bridge in figure 6 make the building more accessible from the surrounding streets or easier to use? What else might you do in the station as you prepare for your trip or wait for your train? Judging from the plans, how might this experience be different for men and women in 1910? What can you infer about society in 1910 from the way these spaces are allocated? Looking at fig. 7 & 8, describe the similarities and differences between the general waiting room and the concourse in terms of structure, materials, decoration or the absence of it. Clearly, the building is based upon historical precedents. Do you think the use of such precedents is appropriate for a 20th-century train station? Be sure to express your opinions. REMEMBER TO CHECK: Was your paper written as separate answers to the questions? If you took information taken from other sources, did you footnote it?

I need a professional to help me rewrite my essay by following the feedback that examiner gave me, I’m studying architecture and this is my final assessment, so this might require some architecture knowledge. I have our assessment brief, my writing and the feedback. We will keep in touch for the details.

Although the arch was known to cultures such as the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, and the Greeks, it was the Romans who perfected it, evidently learning its principles from the Etruscans but developing those principles further. The Romans understood that much wider spans could be achieved with the round arch than with post-and-lintel construction. The weight of the masonry above the arch is displaced to the supporting upright elements (piers or jambs). The arch is constructed on a temporary supporting scaffolding and is formed with wedge-shaped blocks, called voussoirs, capped by a large, wedge-shaped stone, called the keystone, the last element put in place. The space inside the arch is called a bay. And the wall areas between the arches of an arcade are called spandrels. When a round arch is extended, it forms a barrel vault. To ensure that the downward pressure from the arches does not collapse the walls, a buttress support is often added. When two barrel vaults meet one another at a right angle, they form a groin vault. The interior corridors of the Colosseum in Rome use both barrel and groin vaulting. Your assignment is to write an essay with an introduction paragraph, body paragraph and conclusion paragraph. Discuss the use of the arch in Roman architecture by demonstrating what the support allowed engineers to accomplish.  You must use one example.  Cite the name of the monument.  And be sure to explain how your example is evidence of the innovations Roman builders made to the arch.  How did the arch shape Roman architecture?

1. Requirement for research paper: Topics should be contemporary, impacting the future of the interior design profession and demonstrate the applicant’s critical thinking, analytical and writing skills.  2. This paper is for master, research paper should relate to the major: interior design. Background info:  I’m a college undergraduate applying for Master’s in interior architecture.

In many of the buildings covered in this class, we have seen recurring ideas about architecture realized in different civilizations and in different times. More specifically, in Lectures 15a and 15b we talked about five ways in which architectural ideas originated and moved throughout history. Here are those five methods with a brief explanation (and in parentheses instructions related to the assignment): elaboration of basic forms, for instance the development of elemental forms in domestic architecture translated to more ornate but similarly organized temples. (Choose buildings with similar geometrical shapes, and for the second pair of images described below, please provide images that make that geometrical similarity clear.) transfer of form through material, such as the stylized imitation of wood in later stone construction (For the second pair of images described below, please provide detail images of columns, beams, ceilings, joints, etc. that show the appropriation of a construction technique with the use of new materials.) transfer of ideas through representation, as when architects make detailed drawings and models to explain their image of the building and how it should be constructed. (For the second pair of images described below, please provide the architectural model or drawing (on paper, stone, fabric, etc.) that was used to design the second building of your choice.) transfer of ideas by copying good ideas, for instance architects, craftsmen, merchants, etc. bringing back new lessons in architectural styles, details, and structure from their travels. (For the second pair of images described below, please provide images that highlight the architectural elements, style, or construction detail shared between the two buildings.) transfer of ideas through force, in other words, as armies expanded the boundaries of civilizations, the architecture of the capital or homeland would spread into new territory and often create hybrid versions of local buildings. (For the second pair of images described below, please provide illustrations of the actual buildings in new colonies rather than geographical maps or military forces.)   For this assignment, select two buildings that highlight one of the five methods above. Building 1: One building must be from the time period of 2500 BCE to 1200 CE (in other words this building must be from the places and historical periods covered in this class). Building 2: The other building may be from any time period or location of your choosing. Both buildings must have been built. (You may choose buildings discussed in the lectures, but you may not use any images shown in the lectures.) Together the two buildings must show the transfer of an architectural idea, demonstrating the one method you have selected.    Gather two images for each building (these can be photographs, models, drawings, or maps) and organize them on one 8.5 x 11 in. page (landscape or portrait orientation). The first pair of images should identify the two buildings. Label each of these images with the name of the building, its location, the name of the civilization, and its approximate date of construction. The second pair of images should show, in some way, how an architectural idea spread from one building to the other through one of the above methods (see specific instructions for each method above). In addition to identifying the buildings in the first pair of images, very briefly caption each of the four images to describe what it shows. Then include a paragraph in your own words (max 100 words) that identifies the process of diffusion you have selected and describes this process as it relates to the two buildings.  Please cite all image sources using MLA, APA or Chicago style, and include this either with the four captions or separately on a second page.   To summarize: your final submission should be a pdf file with a single 8.5 x 11 in. page (with the option of second page that includes only image source information) that includes: four images (two of a building from 2500 bce – 1200 ce, two of a building from any time period) two labels identifying each building and its location, civilization, and date of construction four very brief image captions  an explanatory paragraph citations for image sources (these can be included in the image captions, or listed on a separate page)

(Masdar City) discuss certain issues that came up, climatisation, notions (and critique of sustainability), the role of technology, and here especially the question of crisis and survival as Gunnel put it, from and urban and also from an architectural point of view. What is smart about it, and what is traditional? What was promising, and why did it fail? You to account for the different actors and stakeholders involved? (I have enclosed some reading and book, but you should do much further research and find more sources) The essay should develop a consistent argument of central themes, ideas and subjects, and include a significant bibliography of primary and secondary literature. It should be approximately 3,500 words long and include a substantial set of 10 to 15 illustrations, specially produced or carefully selected, extensively discussed in the text and precisely referenced in a separate list. In the marking of the essay, substantial analysis and critical thinking will be valued more than mere description. In more detail the evaluation criteria, which ensure that all students across the different electives are assessed on the same basis, are as follows:30% Content: Depth of the research undertaken; Knowledge and understanding of the subject; Relevance of the material used; Clarity with which the information is presented (both text and images)30% Argument: Sophistication and depth of the analysis; Logic and robustness of the argument; Organisation and communication of ideas with evidence (both text and images) 20% Referencing: Extent to which the essay is supported by research evidence; Use of established referencing systems; Awareness precents (creative projects)20% Presentation: Clarity of writing; Correct use of English language; Graphical and presentational skills; Extent to which illustrations support the argument

choose ONE of the articles and prepare a two-page written “response” to the article; it should be about 500 words total; feel free to single-space these, in which case it might only be one page long a response paper is just what it sounds like: what did you think about as you read through the article you’ve chosen; most people are unsure of what or how to write for this assignment, which is why I provide examples from earlier classes you can look at – find them by clicking here Actions , here Actions , or here Actions  but you can also retrieve them from the Day 1 Module you shouldn’t rely wholly on these examples, but you’ll note that each combines a bit of summary of what was read along with commentary and personal observations. One way to approach these writing assignments is to think, “what do I know now that I didn’t know before?” or “as I was reading through _______, I was struck by how it made me think of _______.” Feel free to write these in first person (“I thought this …” or “I didn’t understand that … “); in fact, first person responses are encouraged! I expect this writing assignment to take about an hour; you should proofread the essay for obvious spelling and grammatical errors, and it’s always best to include the name of the author of your article along with some reference to its title or subject somewhere in an introductory paragraph – try to avoid saying things like “the author of this article stated that …” and instead write “Preyer noted in her essay on Florentine casas that …”
