Your assignment is to find examples of Classical architectural elements arranged according to Renaissance and/or Baroque principles of design, and to analyze the ways in which architects in D.C. have utilized historical architectural models. Please refer to the architectural discussions in chapters 8 (p. 241 - 244; 246), 9 (p. 261 - 265), and 10 (p. 287-289). PART I.

Please do this drawing while at the building - your eye will catch details that a photograph will not. B) An essay describing in detail (and in your own words!) the various architectural elements and the way in which they are arranged. Please include whatever basic facts about the building are known, such as its architect and date of construction, and consider the following questions: • Does the architect seem to be strongly inspired by the work of a particular architect, such as Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, or Palladio? Does the building closely resemble a specific structure from the Renaissance or Baroque periods? • What function does the building serve, and why do you think this architectural style was considered appropriate for its design? The Part II essay should be about 2 pages long (double-spaced with 12 pt. fonts and 1-inch margins). It should primarily reflect your own observations, based on knowledge you have acquired in class, and incorporating basic research on the building. Whatever resources you use, including your textbook or online sources, must be properly cited according to the Style Sheet posted on Canvas. Your writing will be evaluated according to appropriate standards of grammar, spelling and organization. If you feel that these are not your strong points, I recommend seeing a writing consultant at Marymount's Center for Teaching and Learning (located in Rowley G105); for more information, please see http://www.marymount.edu/Academics/Services- Resources/Center-for-Teaching-Learning Tutoring-Writing-Assistance ...00 T-Mobile 8:45 PM 54% - instructure-uploads.s3.ama: C Architecture Scavenger Hunt Due FA-202A March 14 Washington, D.C. is full of buildings inspired by Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles.
