Assignment Two:
Read Kenneth Frampton’s article ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance’. Provide a short written commentary, explanation or question as a response to each of the following five quotes from the article. Responses should be no more than three (3) sentences.
There’s an oft-quoted saying, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,” that seems to suggest that art needs to be experienced directly and that writing or analysis is beside the point. What’s your initial reaction to this saying? What do you think it means, and do you agree?
Start by familiarizing yourself with two educational buildings: the Brown Center on the MICA campus (designed by Ziger/Snead and Charles Brickbauer and completed 2003) and the Rolex Learning Center at the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, Switzerland (designed by SANAA and completed in 2010). What do you remember of your experiences taking classes in Brown, visiting for lectures or exhibitions, or using the building for other activities? What activities take place here? Who uses the building? How does it seem to be organized? What does it look like? How does it relate to the MICA campus and to the neighborhood? Then watch the video on the Rolex Learning Center, asking yourself the same questions.
What do these two buildings have in common? How do they differ?
Read through the two reviews of these buildings, both published in major professional journals shortly after the building’s completion. What do you learn from each review? What ideas and information does each author convey? Does the author take a position on the value or significance of the building?
In what ways do these two articles help you better understand the buildings they describe? Are the claims they make about the buildings supported by your own experiences or your own observations of the video? Do the authors emphasize certain aspects of the building over others? Do they seem to miss anything important?
650 words Formal analysis, describe the abstract visual communication of the art, describe how the audience is meant to perceive and move through the artwork visually and abstractly. Describe the abstraction and aesthetic qualities of the work. Develope an essay with a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body and conclusion that synthesizes the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember or take away from the assignment. Use description as evidence to support the thesis and any other supporting statements. Summarize the overall appearance, then describe details of the object, describe the composition and then move across the subject to the other side, describe things in order in which they draw your eye around the object, starting with the first thing you notice and moving to the next.
Conduct research on the art work using at least 4 sources written by experts. Please use only academic sources.
How to write paper:
Your paper should consist of a sound argument (aka, thesis) and you must successfully support it
with evidence-based research. This is how research progresses. An academic art history paper is
much closer to math than it is to creative writing: it’s like a puzzle that needs solving. You’re
basically stating your opinion BUT your opinion is based on factual research! It shouldn’t be
based on your personal feelings or opinions. An argument also is not something that we already
know. So, “Leonardo da Vinci was an artistic genius” isn’t a great argument because we all
know that (and everyone knew it when he was alive, too). A better one would be “Venice’s
architecture reflects its broad and lucrative trading networks in northern Europe and with the
Middle East.” I will provide a writing guide attached.
Please do Summary on “The Gothic Cathedral”
