After thoroughly going over the given reading materials, (including the videos linked), include the following in the assignment. Required length, 2 pages double spaced, font size 12.
a. Discuss how a city could be viewed as an art piece. (keyword: artificial, man-made)
b. Reveal your opinion on a city, an urban planning, or an architectural work as a reflection of contemporary social and cultural conditions. Feel free to bring in any city, or architectural work outside from the reading materials for the analysis if needed.
c. Express your ideas on major architectural standings (palaces, marketplaces, etc.) as a nodal point of a larger political, diplomatic, and commercial network.
Please have in mind that “a city†could be an effective analytic lens when understanding a society or a culture.
