You will select a (Pall/LC) to research, model, and draw this semester. You will claim a pair by making a comment to this post stating which pair you have chosen to study. If there are three people already listed to study the pairing, you must choose another pair- first come, first choose.
Once you've made your selection you should go to the library and find everything there is about your two buildings. Students sharing pairings are encouraged to break up the research as long as you trust the other person to do a thorough job of research.
To research Palladio:
Look through books on Palladio, the Cinquecento, Italian Renaissance architecture and do a scan of the Avery Index for periodical mentions of the project. In books rich with imagery and text about your building, review the footnotes to see where the author is finding their sources.
To research LC:
Look through books about Le Corbusier, periodical mentions of the project found via the Avery Index, and a hunt through the Le Corbusier Archives (white series of books on LC on the 9th floor in the research area).
Collect anything you can find as a set of paper documents in a three ring binder with two sections. You want drawings, photos of models, and photos of the building. Use of any available online digital models is prohibited and will be treated as serious cheating. Do not use source material from the internet, only library research.
I will meet you in the library on the 8th floor at the south tables at 10:00AM to discuss the project and your research. I will take roll. A simple formal model the size of a fist of each building is due at the beginning of class on Wednesday. You may use what you deem appropriate material(s) for model making.
