History & Culture

For this fortnightly assignment, you will discuss and compare four buildings from four different historical periods (four lectures), one from lecture 5, the second from lecture 6, the third from lecture 7, and the last from lecture 8.

How to form your essay:

– Follow the uploaded template for forming your essay: On the first page, you need to arrange eight images in a grid to illustrate the significance of your buildings. You will use two images to highlight each building. (4 buildings = 8 images). Images should be followed by correct captions (building name, date, and endnote referencing for sources). Students should follow endnote referencing (Chicago 16th or 17th edition).

– On the second page, add an 800-word text discussing the significance of the buildings in relation to their historical period.

-The last paragraph of your essay should critically compare the buildings: this could be done by highlighting the differences, commonalities and transformations between the buildings’ interiors, exteriors and plans. Wrap up your comparison with a short statement, indicating your thoughts about the discussed periods or buildings.

Please see attached template, referencing each subject building.
