Initial Research:
At least 4 pages of research into 2 contemporary Architects. Include background information (date of birth, some of the people they have worked for/with - OK to get this information from reliable online sources, but please credit them) and go on to give personal analysis of some specific buildings/projects. Discuss materials (glass, steel, concrete etc.), aesthetics (form) and function. Give your views on the buildings, but avoid simple value judgements (‘I really like/dislike…’) or vague, meaningless statements (’This piece is really effective’). Comment upon how successful or unsuccessful you find the architecture, and give specific reasons why you hold your opinions.
Include good reproductions of the Architect's work and take care over visual presentation. Some potential Architects you might investigate include: Richard Rogers, Norman Foster, Nicholas Grimshaw, Frank Gehry, Cesar Pelli, Mario Botta, Renzo Piano, Shigeru Ban, Daniel Libeskind, Santiago Calatrava, Zaha Hadid, Thomas Heatherwick.
This should be completed by Monday 9th September as we will look at it together in class.
