Example of architecture as a work of art

Reference no: EM13516119

Everyone has seen examples of buildings which may serve a functional purpose, but which are either aesthetically unpleasing or simply do not fit the surrounding environment. Such a building may be called an "eye sore," a "folly," a "boondoggle," or just plain "ugly." Frank Lloyd Wright and his mentor, Louis Sullivan, were among Twentieth Century architects who held the philosophy that buildings should reflect and enhance their environment.

This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of architecture as a work of art and see its contribution to the human experience.

From the photos and other information presented on this page and from other sources you may find, evaluate the work using the critical analysis example at the conclusion of Chapter 4 as a guide. You will also want to refer to Chapter 4 and the accompanying PowerPoint for the technical terms and concepts necessary for the analysis. Be sure to include all points of the outline (minimum one full page in length). Write the critical analysis in 2 pages in a Word document. Follow the APA style. Submit the essay to the assignment dropbox.

Compose your work using a word processor (or other software as appropriate) and save it frequently to your computer.
