Question

For reading 2 For your assignment, in 300-400 words max, I want you to first articulate the conventional understanding of "modernity" according to King, both in terms of time and space. Then, articulate at least one way he challenges this conventional understanding of "modernity". Finally, personally, how do you understand the terms "modern" versus "traditional", and what are some architectural examples (it may or may not be a building, as we've learned the definition of architecture is incredibly malleable) that you believe are representative. Reference the text directly to support your statements, either with footnotes or direct quotes! For reading 3 The prompt for your reading response this week is about Neoclassicism. Specifically, in 300-400 words, I would like you to articulate the two primary ways that ancient history was mobilized by Neoclassical architects, who were some of the key figures, what historical structures were they looking at, and how were they using them to produce new architecture? Finally, what do you think personally about what the role of history should be in designing architecture?
