6. IND 2130 History of Architectural Design II
Semester Project
Project Statement:
An international competition is taking place. Parks are being
selected in the home towns of
prominent architects/designers. The competition committee is
asking you as designers to
create an area in the park to commemorate the famous architect.
This area (pavilion, gazebo,
etc.) is to be a covered area with a drinking fountain, benches,
and a placard commemorating
the architect/designer. Your design should reflect the spirit of
the architects designs.
Project Requirements:
• Part 1: Precedent Study – Research the assigned
architect/designer.
o Reported in a minimum of 5 page paper
▪ 1-2 pages giving background information on architect/designer
▪ 2-6 pages analyzing work - select at least three projects
designed by the
person you are researching. Analyze the structure, materials
and
methods used. Write the findings from your analysis. This
should be in
your own words from your analysis. You can include quotes

7. from other
sources about the structure, but most of the work should be your
own
insight. Include image(s) of the structure or piece of furniture,
etc. that
you are discussing. The analysis should be at least one page for
each
example you choose.
o Minimum of 5 sources (2 must be from books-not google
research)
o Use APA or MLA format
o Include information on:
▪ The Architects/Designers Personal Background
▪ The Time Period during which they practiced
▪ Other designers or movements that influenced their work
▪ Characteristics that identify their work
▪ Identify at least three of their projects and include images
• Part 2: Power Point Presentation on your designer/architect –
This should include
information from the precedent study. Share the information
you have learned about.
Be sure to use good PPT methods and only include bulleted
information.
o Minimum of 5 slides
o Style of presentation (Font, color, etc. reflects the essence of
the designer)
o Be sure to use citation for information and images included in
the presentation
• Part 3: Model of proposed Design (scale: 1/2”=1’-0”) (Do not
Exceed approximately 12”
x 12”)

8. o The design should:
▪ Be limited to 400 square feet
▪ Reflect the design of the given architect (style, materials, etc.)
▪ Include a drinking fountain, benches, and placard
▪ Be ADA compliant
• Summary of the Designers background and Accomplishments
(Similar to what you
would see on the placard)
o This should be graphically sharp and mounted to be displayed
with the model
Due Dates: (will be listed in Canvas)
• Precedent Study
• Power Point Presentation
• Final Presentation (Model and Oral presentation)
