Michael Graves
Your assignment is to choose ONE architect from the class text or video lectures (you can select from ANY module) to finish a 6,000 words minimum paper. How to write an academic paper? you may refer to UF writing center: https://writing.ufl.edu/writing-studio/writing-resources/ Remember: Find Something Important to YOU! You don’t have to cover everything that the architect ever did, just find something to research that interests you so that this paper can benefit you in some way. This paper requires a significant effort on your part – so be inspired to write about an aspect of architecture that brings you joy! Yes, you should discuss major accomplishments and/or influences of this architect. However, you don’t need to limit yourself to buildings – architecture is far more interesting than that – consider literature, stylistic movements, architectural philosophy and impacts on architectural education. You can also zero in on one minute detail that interests you and expand upon it. For example: If you like gardens, then research the gardens in and around the buildings; write about garden design during that time. Another example: If your architect designed furniture, your whole paper can be about his/her furniture design; write about the history of furniture design and how this architect fit into it.
