COMPARE & CONTRAST 2 BUILDINGSPaper instructions are located on the added file. Please follow directions. Thank youDirectionsWrite a 6-page, double-spaced compare and contrast essay that investigates how two structures from two different period styles illustrate a particular theme in architecture. (This theme is your thesis statement.)The structures you chose MUST correlate with the time, cultures, and period styles covered in this course. You cannot chose buildings that are outside of the periods and regions covered in this class.Your paper must include the following components:Course Introduction, Intro to Architecture HistoryNeo-Classicism in GermanyNeo-Classicism in England Neo-Classicism in AmericaArchitecture and the Industrial Revolution, part 1Architecture and the Industrial Revolution, part 2Gothic Revival Art NouveauBeaux-Arts Influence in AmericaDevelopment of the SkyscraperFrank Lloyd Wright – part 1 Frank Lloyd Wright – part 2Adolf LoosThe European Avant-Garde: Italian Futurism and Russian ConstructivismThe European Avant-Garde: German Expressionism and De StijlWalter Gropius and the BauhausLe Corbusier – part 1 Le Corbusier – part 2Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – part 1Ludwig Mies van der Rohe – part 24/19: Midterm #2Regional ModernismLouis Kahn Eero SaarinenModern and Contemporary Architecture in JapanPost-Modernism, part 1Post-Modernism, part 2Contemporary Architecture, part 1• Introduction paragraph with a clear, controlling idea (thesis statement) and ?building identification: names of the structures, architect (if known), building ?materials, and period styles ?• Descriptive visual analysis of EACH of your two buildings ?• Comparative structure (to compare is to discuss how the images are similar, and ?to contrast is to discuss how the images are different)?o This should include discussion of both a visual compare and contrast, and ?a cultural compare and contrast ?• Conclusion (summarize your argument and connect to greater idea) ?• Works Cited Page: a separate page of sources in MLA style formatting (use at ?least 3 sources) ?Academic Sources: Use at least 3 sources – but feel free to use more!?Your research focus depends on which two structures you pick and your thesis statement (the argument you want to say about these two buildings). ?Your research MUST BE academic – so NO BLOGS or WIKIPEDIA! I recommend you avoid any website that ends in “.com.” Look for websites that end in “.edu” or “.org.” Below are some suggestions for academic sources: ?ACADEMIC BOOKS ?• Buildings Across Time: An Introduction to World Architecture by Michael Fazio ?• The DVC Library is a great resource! The librarians can assist you in finding ?appropriate books for your research. ?ACADEMIC WEBSITES ???Academic websites, such as museum or university sites, are a good place to start:oSmarthistory: Presented by Kahn Academy (http://smarthistory.khanacademy.org). This is the website that I use for many of the clips you watch in class.oVictoria and Albert Museum’s Design Guides (http://www.vam.ac.uk/page/d/design-styles). Divided by century, these design guides cover from the Medieval Period to the 20thCentury.oThe Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History by the Metropolitan Museum (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/). While this is an Art History timeline, also includes articles on Architectural History. The “Thematic Essays” listed on the Heilbrunn Timeline ARE academic articles – you can rely on them for correct information and should cite them in your term paper. (Each essay includes an example of proper citation at the bottom of the webpage!)??DVC Library A-Z Databases (http://dvc.libguides.com/az.php). The DVC Library gives students access to many online, academic databases where you can search for articles. I highly suggest two of the databases: Academic Search Premier (EBSCO) and ProQuest Research Library.If you are unsure about the academic quality of a book or website, it is best to err on the side of caution and not use it. If you have questions about the quality a specific source, you may ask me about it.How to cite academic resources: Use MLA style in-text citations and your Works Cited Page!When you do research, you always need to cite your sources. To cite means to point to the evidence. You MUST cite when you quote and when you paraphrase a source. There is a zero tolerance policy towards plagiarism in this class and zero credit will be given for plagiarized work.You need to cite your source in-text AND on a separate list of sources (Works Cited Page) at the end of your paper.Submit hardcopy in class with PROPER formatting:?Your hardcopy final submission must be TYPED and PRINTED.• Title Page or heading containing the student’s full name, class title & section, date, and instructor’s name. ?• Typed 12-point Times New Roman font and double-spaced with 1-inch margins ?• Works Cited Page Cite references used according to MLA style. ?• Staple (do not use a folder or clip) ?
