Introduction The assessment for this unit consists of one essay of 1,500 words. Essay Question 3. Choosing a building of the period 1700-1910 that adopted Gothic or medieval architecture as a source, explain how the designer’s understanding of the architecture of the earlier period affected their design approach. [You could answer this in different ways, but should ideally look at some of the architect’s writings on medieval architecture, or writings that they were aware of and made use of; and include some detailed analysis of the building to explore how they were applied. You could also subdivide the essay thematically to address different points, each with some analysis of the building.]

The font should be a standard type and no smaller than 11 point. Illustrations may take any form, but must be contained within the A4 format and included with the essay. Illustrations should be numbered, captioned, and referenced, and referred to in the text by number (fig. 1, fig. 2, etc.). They should include a citation/reference at the end of the caption. A front cover page should be included, containing your essay question, a title or subtitle indicating your chosen subject to answer the question, and the word count. It must be explicit which question you are answering. You may not change the wording of the questions.

All coursework is anonymous – therefore do not include your name on the cover sheet or document. Ensure that the ‘File Properties’ of your document also do not contain your name. Length The essay should be no longer than 1,500 words. A 10% leeway is permissible in the word count. If your essay exceeds 1,650 words, policy is for the marker to stop reading at that point in order not to disadvantage students who have adhered to the correct word count. The word count excludes the list of references, image captions and cover page. Do not add footnotes to extend the text; footnotes that are used in this way are counted in the word count.

However, image captions may be used to include a modest amount of analysis to complement the text. Referencing Referencing is essential in the final submission, including references (‘citations’) within the text and a reference list (or bibliography) in alphabetical order at the end. Please refer to the separate guides and Library resources on referencing for further details. You are allowed to use any recognized academic method of referencing, but our standard Harvard Bath method is recommended for simplicity.   https://youtu.be/CwK1qtxDTeY
