Total should be 2000 WORDS
you will submit a full draft of your paper. Your draft must be at least 2/3 the length of the full paper (2000 words) and must articulate the full intent of your review. You should give your paper an interesting title.
Your draft should also include all illustrations you intend to include with your paper, with appropriate captions. As a basic standard, you should assume that your reader is not at all familiar with the building you have selected, and should include as many illustrations as you feel are necessary to capture the building design. Approximately 6-8 illustrations (which should include both drawings and photographs, precedents/comparanda) are an appropriate number for this length of paper. Additionally, you should create two (2) analytical sketches of the building that reinforce your interpretation of the building. In the case of floor plans or other drawings, feel free to provide diagrammatic overlays to help the reader understand or direct attention to aspects of the project that are crucial for your review.
Your draft must also include correctly formatted Chicago Style citations (full footnotes or parenthetical citations + bibliography) for all sources you intend to cite in your paper.
While writing your paper, please abide by the following formatting and organizational suggestions: ARCH4270-6275_PaperRecommendations.pdf

By way of reminder: your Research Paper for this course will be a 3000-word review of a work of contemporary architecture. In your review, you will draw upon some of the theories, concepts, and keywords you have encountered in the course so far. A review is not simply a description of the building or project. It should interpret, analyze, explain, situate, speculate, offer conjectures, historicize, and/or contextualize rather than simply describe. It should be an act of theorizing. A review need not be purely positive or purely negative, but should make a strong argument for the importance of the building or project you select. You will be answering the question: why should we care about and study this building or project?

As an example of the kind of thing I’m hoping for, here is a similar-length review of a building in Houston, Texas that I published a few years ago in the Italian journal San Rocco (Links to an external site.): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UMv4PtFRJ1rSH902gapJwNfugU873Lji/view (Links to an external site.). You might also find good examples in English in journals like The Architectural Review (Links to an external site.), Architectural Record (Links to an external site.), Architect (Links to an external site.), Architect’s Journal (Links to an external site.), the print-only publications A+U (Links to an external site.)and El Croquis (Links to an external site.), and an excellent book that is simply called The Building (Links to an external site.).
For slightly funnier, more artful, and more entertaining reviews of buildings, check out the New York Review of ArchitectureLinks to an external site..
For good illustrations of works of architecture, please see the hyperlinks in the document (most go to ArchDaily), as well as the architect’s website, Divisare (Links to an external site.), Arquitectura Viva (Links to an external site.), or Architizer (Links to an external site.).
