Art and Architectures

Your final research paper should be 6-8 pages (not including images) double space text, 12 pt font. Similar to Paper 1, but with much more in-depth research and a more complex structure and argument, propose an example of a spatial condition (an artist’s work, an existing space or place, a spatial situation) to accompany one of the topics discussed in class. Describe the spatial conditions’ relevance to the topic by referencing the given readings in-class presentations as well as outside resources. You may elaborate on one of your previous presentation, the online forum discussion, in-class discussions, etc. from this course in order to connect ideas from this class to your own areas of interests/pursuits. Papers will be evaluated on the following: develop a clear and well-structured argument, present creative and logical analysis, thorough and accurate research, clear written language with no obvious spelling or grammatical mistakes, relevant visual material (up to 3-4 images maximum can be included, cited properly) and engagement with the subject matter presented in the course. Paper 1 : The Body, Space and Perception We have studied exceptional artists working in the field of spatial practice that have relevance to the theories of interior design: Bruce Nauman. During our class discussions we have discussed the conceptual links between their work and the practice of interior design. As noted as a deliverable in the syllabus under course structure, this paper will help you summarize your thoughts on one of these artists. a. Propose an example of a spatial condition (an artist’s work, an existing space or place, a spatial situation) to accompany one of the artists/spatial topics discussed in class. Describe the spatial condition’s relevance to the topic by referencing the given readings, in-class presentations as well as outside resources. This assignment should be considered a formalized extension of ideas discussed in class and on the forums, made more specific through the study of a single example. Deliverables b. This paper should be 2-3 pages double spaced, 12 pt. font
