HALF SEMESTER PROJECT: Form Language Analysis

 

Part 1A - due Aug. 31

             Choose one architect or direction of architecture (such as vernacular, historical, or contemporary building styles) that interest you from the list provided.  You will analyze the work of this architect or architecure in terms of its form language.

Part 1B - due September 14

             Analyze the form language of the chosen architect or architecture in terms of walls, columns and other wall-making elements in the design of a building.  Think about how this particular architect or architecture used walls and columns to give a building its particular form.  Your analysis should be from five to ten pages, primarily visual in nature with some text.  Photographs and architects' drawings may  be used, but you must provide your own graphic analysis of form, structure, and assembly.

Part 1C - due September 21

             Completed assignment will analyze the form language of the chosen architect or style in each of the following three criteria as well as other special elements you discover, approximately five pages for each of the three sections.

                                1.             Walls and columns

                                2.             Roof and slabs

                                3.             Openings: windows and doors
