Further notes on assessment criteria One of the key criteria for assessing essay submissions in Modern Architecture: MoMo to PoMo is how well students have answered the set question. Failing to answer the question will generally result in a failing grade. Students should ensure they are examining the appropriate content asked by the question and consider ALL parts of the question in their written response. If you are unsure as to what a question is asking, please check with your tutor, the senior tutor or the subject coordinator. Other criteria used for assessment of submissions include the quality of the research and sources used to consider the question, the level of critical inquiry (that is, how well the topic is argued and discussed) and the overall structure and direction of the argument, including clear concluding remarks. The assignment calls for students to carefully and critically consider and answer the chosen topic using appropriate sources. Students should aim to consult a fair number of primary and secondary sources (a minimum of six), avoiding where possible very general texts or websites. Students should also include visual material to support their arguments where appropriate. Captions, citing name, title, place and date as well as image source should accompany illustrations.  Please note: word limits are guidelines only and no penalties will apply for not conforming strictly to them, within reason. Please bear in mind, however, that the assessment task requires you to craft an effective and efficient response. If your essay is well under the word limit then you may need to consider whether you have adequately answered all parts of the question. If you are well over the word limit then your text might warrant some editing to remove anything that is not specifically relevant. It is a good idea to read your work out loud (to family, friends or just to yourself) as this often highlights areas requiring improvement or amendment that might otherwise be overlooked in a silent read-through. The Academic Skills Unit is also a valuable resource that can provide further assistance: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/academicskills/undergrads Please Note: Students found to have copied text without proper acknowledgment (that is, plagiarized) in their assignment submissions, will face the penalties as set out in the University policy on plagiarism. See: http://academichonesty.unimelb.edu.au/policy.html Please also consult the information contained in the subject reader. All quotes and sources of information (including web pages, if you must use them) must be properly cited. Copying from someone else’s work without acknowledgment is plagiarism, including failing to acknowledge the replication of exact wording (which should also be indicated by the use of quotation marks) and/or failing to acknowledge the source of key ideas. Identified cases of plagiarism will be subject to mark penalties and/or disciplinary action, in accordance with Faculty policy.

  ESSAY TOPICS Choose one of the following topics: 1.  Both the emigré architects Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra were inspired by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and worked with Wright after their respective moves to the United States of America. Compare and contrast the modern architecture being designed by Schindler and Neutra, with that of Wright. What similarities or differences are evident in their respective approaches? Use examples to demonstrate your argument. 2.  Compare and contrast the Expressionist designs of the German architects, including Erich Mendelsohn, with those of the Amsterdam School, including Michel de Klerk. 3.  What changes of direction took place in the Bauhaus between 1919 and 1933 and how were they expressed in its course of study, its products and its architecture? 4.  Modern architecture in Scandinavia was based on traditions that were quite particular to the region and quite different to the driving forces of modernism in France, the Netherlands and Germany. Compare and contrast the work of one Modernist Scandinavian architect with the work of one Modernist French, German or Dutch architect. Analyse specific examples of built work to support your discussion and consider in your response the impact of different contexts and traditions on these. 5.  Is there consensus on what is meant by Postmodernism in architecture? Examine the writings of Charles Jencks, Heinrich Klotz and William Curtis in your answer. 6.  How do the principles of modern architecture and urbanism formulated by Peter & Alison Smithson and Team 10 differ from those developed by CIAM? How were these differences manifested in design work of the Smithsons and other members of Team 10? 7.  In 1930s Europe, architecture and political ideology would become intimately connected through the buildings created under the National Socialist (Nazis) in Germany and the Fascists in Italy. Compare and contrast the architecture and ideology associated with these two right-wing political movements and allies. 8.  Discuss how Mies van der Rohe’s Glass Skyscraper project of 1922 relates to the design of the Seagram building. Note differences and similarities, and explain them in relation to technological and cultural contexts of the two projects. 9.  Compare and contrast the work of one member of the New York Five with that of Robert Venturi. Do they begin their architecture from different philosophical positions? What similarities and differences in their approach to post-modernism can be identified? 10.  Choose examples of utopian architecture proposed by three different architects in the twentieth century. Compare and contrast the ideas that are being proposed about urban life, the form and expression of the proposals and the context in which the proposals were made. 11.  Choose two architects associated with the Russian avant garde in architecture after 1917, including the Constructivist movement and other groups, and compare and contrast their designs and built work before 1930. 12.  Compare and contrast the work of two of the architects included in the Deconstructivist Architecture exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1988. What made their work ‘deconstructivist’? How has the work of the architects you have chosen developed in subsequent years? 13.  English high-tech architects such as Norman Foster developed their principles at the same time as post- modernism became the dominant architectural manner. What common ground do the movements share and what are the key differences? Discuss with specific examples. 14.  The manifesto has played an important part in the development of modern architecture in Europe. Compare and contrast the written and designed products of the Italian Futurists with that of the Dutch de Stijl movement. How has their use of the written word help shape their respective architectural visions? 15.  Discuss the use of off-form concrete in the later work of Le Corbusier, noting its first appearance, development and differing expression. 16.  Discuss the differences between housing projects proposed by Dutch architects such as Michel de Klerk and those proposed by Le Corbusier in the 1920s. Why should there be differences and what proposals about the city are being made? 17.  Charlotte Perriand, Lilly Reich and Eileen Gray were women designers and architects who were at the forefront of the modern movement, yet are now virtually unknown. Examine their work, collaborations and the development of modern architecture in locating their contribution to European modernism. 18.  What are the most significant elements of the design philosophy of Louis Kahn and what influence have his ideas and designs had on other architects? 19.  The architecture of the New York Five drew on aspects of Le Corbusier’s work. By examining the work of one member of the Five, explore this connection in detail. How has this architect’s approach to architectural design developed subsequently?
