3. Introduction to Architecture Paper:
4. Quiz:
- Literal: (a) I, Melvin Rodriguez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents more than 37.5 hours of work. (b) I completed a class at Citrus College that was approximately 37.5 hours of lecture. The class involved quizes, tests, a final paper, and a final test. During the class I would have to take notes on the lecture in my composition book. Our professor would require us to right in our notebook with great organization in order to recieve a good grade on the notes. These notes also were the key in passing the tests and quizes; basically what was on the notes was what we were going to be tested on. In our notebooks we were required to write notes on our own on the doctorate book our professor wrote which is called "A Introduction to Western Architecture". He would go over the answer to the chaper review questions once we were done with a chapter. Dr. Fernandes also had us buy two books to read "Field Guide to American Houses" and "Europe 101" to read on our own. Lastly, Dr. Fernandes had us write a paper which required us to interview a family elder in order to find out about a unique piece of architecture from our culture.
- Interpretive: My work earned an A in the class at a college level. I easily spent more than 30 hours working on this component by attending the class and went "above and beyond" by taking organized notes, interviewing several family members for my final paper, spending a rigurous night awake studying for the final test, and ultimately learning more than I had to about the period and style of Architecture. I learned more by researching on my own, staying after class to conversate about architecture with my professor, and ultimately earn connections that will help me answer my essential question, "What is most important when designing a structure?"
- Applied: It helped me answer my essential question because this class really did do a good job at introducing me to Architecture. I learned about architecture from pre-history to futuristic and it showed me the innovative ways that architects would design a structure. It showed me that throughout the eras people found that being innovative is very important when designing a structure. For example, my professor told me about Versai, which was built in the Renaissance and how they had marble columns in the hallways to a certain height until it became scarce and how they would have painters replicate the marble so beautifully that it is almost impossible to see in through the human eye. This innovative thinking also proved important in the midevil times when architects would design castles in order to best benefit the people inside. Firstly, they would have to find a way to keep water inside the premises of the caslte walls. Then they would have to design the castle in a way that gave the advantage to the one's battling from inside the castle. Lastly the architects would have to find a way to make the inside of some castles civilized in order to maintain people for a long period of time. These and many other examples are what brought me to the answer "You as an architect must work with the resources that you have, which means being creative when there is a scarce amount of tools and resources that you as an architect would prefer." Thank you for your interest in my component; have a nice day! -Melvin Rodriguez
