Architecture Theory And Criticism: Recent Trends And Developments
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the definition of 'modern' and relating architecture to social theory. Works by Marshall Berman, Kate Nesbitt, Diane Ghirardo, Thomas Dutton and Hussan Fathy are discussed. Despite raising the ire of architectural purists, these authors, over the objections of those not sharing their populist views and preferring to keep architecture in the realm of art and elitism rather than that of practical usefulness and a means of enhancing the quality of life for much of the world's population, understand that they are taking highly unpopular views with both conservatives and purists. In the defense of the rights of the world's peoples and faith that architecture can indeed meet the challenge, they all fully welcome the conflict they invite with their truths. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

British Architect Robert Adam
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the work of Robert Adam (1728-1792), the famous Scottish architect and interior designer. The son of a Scottish architect, Robert Adam was able to combine arrogance, social climbing and artistic elegance to become one of Britain's most sought-after architects and interior designers of his day. His work fell out of popular favor by 1780, but he continued working in public structures and turned extensively to furniture design. That design is still with us, and continues to enjoy periodic rejuvenation and rediscovery. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
