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
