For this assignment, chose two buildings from DIFFERENT eras we have studied. On a single page, saved as a PDF, write a (in between) 200-250 word essay that does the following (please do not use this example for your assignment: these are not buildings we have discussed in detail, but only for example purposes):
1. Introduces each building, location, date, architect, and the original use of the building. Include a photo of each. (These titles can be included in word count)
2. Describe at least TWO characteristics between the buildings that are SIMILAR. For example, “The Villa Rotunda and Monticello both have central plans with domes in the center of the building. These domes are visible from the outside and are the dominant feature of each building. Both buildings also have pedimented porch temple-front entries with classical columns across the front and are raised up on a pedestal requiring steps up to the building.” Your description will be longer, but these are examples of how you might compare architectural elements.
3. Describe at least TWO characteristics between the buildings that are DIFFERENT. For example, “The Villa Rotunda was built in the Renaissance by Andrea Palladio, who placed four pedimented porches facing the four cardinal directions, where Monticello has only two. Monticello was built as a plantation, with enslaved people who were accommodated under the long porch-arms connected to the main house, where Villa Rotunda was built as a country respite from urban life, and originally was placed within agricultural lands.” Your description will be longer, but these are examples of how you might compare architectural elements.
