History of the Built Environment I ID-108 Notebook Project

Instructor – Ann Scott Parker fall 2018

PURPOSE:

The primary focus of the Notebook Project is to create a visual guide to the historical periods and styles surveyed in this course.

OBJECTIVE:

Creating a summary of periods and styles that includes visual characteristics, vocabulary, and references to historical/geographical/socio-cultural/political contexts that influenced stylistic developments.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful completion of the project students will be able to:

▪ distinguish significant developments in architecture, construction, and interior design associated with each of the styles/periods represented

▪ describe geographical/socio-economic/cultural/political determinants behind the development and the process of creating a new relevant design vocabulary

▪ build a chronological framework for understanding the development of interior styles

▪ visually identify main architectural and design characteristics of historical styles recognizing influences and major concepts

▪ verbally describe (using formal/professional vocabulary) the defining characteristics of particular historical styles/periods

REQUIREMENTS:

▪ Your notebook is to include nine sections (See Attachment A) with examples of architecture, interiors, furniture & ornament for each period/style/movement.

▪ The pages are to be standard letter size (8 ½ x 11). Each section should have a minimum of 4 pages laid out to be visually pleasing and containing both, images and text.

▪ Text ought to be word-processed in a plain font or hand-lettered in clear architectural lettering.

▪ Each period should include text, in your words, explaining how it relates to class material.

▪ Begin each section with a timeline and summarize major geographical, cultural, social, political determinants associated with the time period/style.

▪ List architectural and decorative characteristics inherent to the particular period/style/movement. Keynotes in bulleted form are preferred.

▪ Images for each period must include at least one hand-drawn item in pen and ink or fine line marking pen. Tracings are fine. Images could be sourced from the books, magazines, and even catalogs.

▪ Images need to be properly identified: name, creator, date (if available).

▪ Include a bibliography of your primary sources and numbering for each image. (See Attachment B for brief guidelines on creating a bibliography)

▪ The maximum size of a binder is 3”. The title should appear on the front & side of binder and include the following:

Creating the Bibliography

The bibliography is a list of the sources for the images and ideas you include in your notebook. Books, magazine articles, encyclopedia and dictionary entries, and Internet sites must be properly cited to give credit to the source which provided you with the information. To reproduce someone else’s work without giving credit is a form of theft called plagiarism and is strictly prohibited under the rules of academic honesty and professional ethics.

The bibliography goes on a separate page at the end of each section of the notebook, with entries arranged alphabetically by the author’s last name. Separate image credits and make sure to number each image for easy identification.

For proper citations follow the guidelines in the Tutorial on Citing Sources Informally:
