Architectural Responses
There are 4 total responses 300 words each. The instruction is to create a response while connecting 3 terms/names for each one using the texts provided. The response is generally open but should be focused on the 2nd term.
First terms/names are: Adolf Loos – Monument – Bauhouse (Reading to be used is 02Foster.pdf and pages are 105-115)
Second terms/names: Charles-douard Jeanneret (Le Corbusier) – Monument – Le Corbusier (in this one both first and last terms/names are of the same person, Le Corbusier is the nickname of Edouard Jeanneret, so technically this is only 2 terms. The reading for this one is 03Corbusier.pdf, no specific pages, ctrl+F on the pdf to find the term monument, there is a lot of info on it.)
Third: El Lissitzky – Axonometry – White on White. (White on white is a movement that Malevich started and El Lessitzky wrote a lot about it as well as Axonometry and perspective. Reading is 05Lissitzky no specific pages, the reading is generally about that for the most part.)
Fourth: Walter Benjamin – Originality/Creativity – Photography. (Reading for this one is 03Benjamin.pdf, same as the one before this reading talks a lot about “Creativity/Originality” so the point would be to make connections between Photography and Creativity.)
Not sure if its needed but here is some background knowledge about this assignment; I was given about 10 terms per column, there are total of 3 columns hence the 3 terms, the idea was to pick one from each creating a connection based on internet research and the readings for these 3 terms.
Please make sure that nothing is plagiarized, and sources are tagged!
Here is a quick example which isn’t based on anything just off the top of my head so im not sure if its true: Adolf Loos viewed monuments as something from the year of 7777 to 8888 and he argued that these should not be destroyed in wars. The bombers should seize fire if they get close to these because these monuments have created the culture as we know today. The creation of Bauhouse was similar. The architect by the name of SOMEONE made this and it was agreed by the Something organization that it should stand and be a no man land in a war. In the book called “dajkjkl” the author talks about… ETC…
Hope that helps to clear it up,
Thank you so much!
