Overview:

The take-home component of Exam I is called ‘main points’ and asks you to create a list of explanatory ‘bullet points’ that provides important details about specific works we have looked at in class;

LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU SHOULD THEREFORE SUBMIT WHATEVER YOU HAVE COMPLETED BEFORE THE DEADLINE. COMPUTER OR INTERNET ISSUES ARE NOT AN EXCUSE; PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

Instructions:

Main Points (150 points) – Sixteen works have been chosen from among the many we have looked at this term, listed below. You will be asked to choose eight of these works (two from each of the four groups below) and for each work, create a LIST of 6 to 10 “main points” that demonstrates your understanding of the work’s significance and the significance of the period it represents in the context of the history of the development of modern architecture: these are not intended to be essays, but rather, think of it as assembling a list of comprehensive, explanatory headings for an outline of an extensive essay if you were required to write one. In compiling main points, try to be analytical rather than merely descriptive: see examples below and over.
