This paper should be a cross between expository and descriptive writing. You must include information citing the location, dates, history, and significance of the building that you choose. (The significance could be anything from being the first work by a particular architect of note, the influence of the building on future architecture, or simply that the building perfectly represents a particular style

The purpose of the report is for you to describe the building in your own words, backed up by the

material from your research. Quote your references. Be sure to endnote or footnote these

quotes as well as other ideas that come from the references. You will also need to provide a

bibliography or list of references at the end of your paper. If you have any questions about how to form your paper, consult The Chicago Manual of Style. In addition, we will post a separate document with examples of how to format and use footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography.

Additional Information

This paper should be a cross between expository and descriptive writing. You must include information

citing the location, dates, history, and significance of the building that you choose. (The significance

could be anything from being the first work by a particular architect of note, the influence of the

building on future architecture, or simply that the building perfectly represents a particular style

– or

That it is a variation on a particular style.) Use your references to back up the factual information about

the work chosen.

Secondly, your paper should contain an objective description of the building. For this, you may choose

to write in a technical style or you may choose a more enriched, poetic style of writing. Either way, take

a moment to simply look at photos of the building. You may want to do this before you consult your

reference sources and then edit it afterwards.

Look for details as well as the overall picture. Think of

how you would describe the building to someone that has never seen it before. For this part of the

paper, you may express your personal opinions. The point of the descriptive part of this assignment is to

write in a way that allows your reader to experience the work as you see it. Be sure to describe aspects of the building with the proper architectural terms that you have learned in class.
