1. WORLD ARCHITECTURE: MID-TERM REVIEW
Exam format:
Part I:
four five-minute identifications
Identify, as far as possible, location (city and country or region; culture), architect and patron (if known),
date (at least period date, e.g. c. 2500 B.C., 5th-4th cent. B.C.).
Write a short comment on its character, position in the history of architecture (what “style” or movement,
what influences it, what it influences, etc. ). If you don’t recognize it, treat it as an “unknown.”
Part II
Two ten minute unknowns.
ARGUE for an identification of date, “school”, style…
Based on analysis of form…
And comparisons to the forms (plans, decoration, structures) of other buildings which you know.
Part III
Two ten minute comparison essays.
Identify each building as well as you can, left and right, as in part I
Then write a comparison essay about some issue elicited and in part illustrated by these two buildings.
Often this will be the influence of one on the other, or they might be two contemporary but different
modes.
Don’t just describe one and then describe the other!
You will almost certainly have to refer to other things not shown on the screen, like other buildings, parts
of this building which are not visible in the images which are shown on the screen, and certainly aspects
of the historical or cultural context.
You should demonstrate knowledge of the terminology for the decorative vocabularies, and the
structures.
