Learning Goal: Im working on a history test / quiz prep and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.InstructionsFor the travelogue assignment, your task is to produce an imaginary first-person travelogue. For this submission, you will submit the entries that you produced for the 10 key Sites These entries should be assembled into a single, cohesive document that includes an introduction and a conclusion (see the Requirements section on this submission page).Your travelogues need to be produced by HAND on letter-sized paper We want you to cover the following questions through a combination of verbal, diary-style entries and drawings (not limited, though). You can do so in any order or sequence you find useful.What can you tell us about the social, economic, and political contexts of the project you are visiting?
Who built it? When? Where? Why?
Can you describe it formally, structurally, spatially, and materially in your own words? (Be sure to take advantage of Google Earth for this!).
What were the primary cultural, religious, philosophical, and/or social changes that allowed the structure to be built?
Why is the monument unique structurally, spatially, programmatically, or artistically?
Can you produce at least three analytical drawings per project that explain why each structure is essential or exciting to you? They can be about any details, layouts, plans, sections, forms, or surroundings.
What similarities
or differences do you see between the projects you visit RequirementsThe final result will be a minimum of 12 pages of texts and drawings.Introduction. You have to provide the narrative (and an itinerary) before embarking on your imaginary travel. Why do you choose specific sites and what you want to see there? Be creative and open-minded.
Main Body. You must have at least one page per project or site (three drawings and texts). Imagine its your sketchbook! Some can be two or three pages. This means the final length can be longer than 12 pages. All texts and illustrations must be done by hand. NO lined paper. Organize each page around three drawings.
Conclusion. You have to provide a discussion in which you reflect on your visit. What are some of the major themes or issues that emerged for you from this study? What can architects learn from their example today? What are some of the lessons that the past has to teach us? Do you still see evidence of its influence? Why? Where? What are the significant prejudices and misconceptions you overcame during the travel?
The quality of your narrative, notes, and drawings matters. Please spend sufficient time for the best results. You are expected to write properly for the introduction and conclusion (about one half page to one page each). For each travelogue page, you do not have to write in complete sentences. (Its similar to taking notes for later.)
