In depth research into a significant work of architecture (from the following list below) in the context of culture and/or religious practice:
- I chose: Church of St. Foy, Conques, France
- Descriptions that must be included :
- Influence of geography, religion, culture, technology
- Ritual use
- Experiential sequence – Approach, Entrance, Program, Circulation, Enclosure, Materiality
- These experiences have been mentioned again and again throughout my lectures. Think of your paper (if you are choosing option 2) as a “lecture” that you are writing for the class.
- How does the ritual lend itself to this experience?
- How do the influences in #1 above influence this experience as well?
- Art, sculpture, and decoration
- Creators of the work of architecture, current condition, and use, preservation
Below i have my final draft its like 1900 words but it needs to be around 2,000 or more, 2,500 would be ideal. Please edit the essay so it doesnt sound so choppy and flows better.
