Anthony Lawlor's Eight Elemental Forms

A 7 page pager based Lawlor's (1994) book entitled "The Temple in the House."

Antonio Gaudi
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Spanish-born Antonio Gaudi was first recognized for his extraordinary artistic talent when he attended Barcelona's Escola Superior d'Arquitectura, where his first major commissioned design incorporated a Gothic Revival appearance that was clearly the indicator for his life's career. Gaudi's blend of surrealistic curves, which many consider to be quite sensual in appearance, brought him wide acclaim for an avant-garde style for which he would always be considered the leader: Spanish Art Nouveau. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Apostolic Succession: Its Evolution In Roman Imagery
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. When discussing the theme of apostolic succession and its evolution in Roman imagery – including architecture – from Early Christianity through the seventeenth century, the student will first want to define the notion of apostolic succession. In essence, it represents "Christ's promise to remain with His Church so that 'he who hears you hears Me'" (Kresta, 2001), thereby necessitating human agents in order to uphold this pledge. This "laying on of hands" (Sweeley, no date) established man as the conduit between the Apostles and the rest of humanity, which was inherently conveyed by way of architectural design of the time. Indeed, one might readily surmise that throughout this particular period, architecture illustrated mankind's role of divine interpretation, especially when exploring the vast and varied aspects of religious structures. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Architectural and Spatial Comparisons Found in Rietveld’s “Schroder House”, Katsura Palace, and the Work of Mondrian
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing spatial design used by Rietveld, Mondrian and Kobori Enshu. Architect, artist and designer Gerrit Rietveld was part of an art movement in the Netherlands in the 1920s called “De Stijl” (The Style). One of the movement’s co-founders was artist Piet Mondrian, also from the Netherlands, whose work such as “Composition in Red, Yellow and Blue” emphasized the use of universalism, geometric forms and primary colors in addition to black and white in the creation of space. While Mondrian was primarily concerned with how his two-dimensional paintings could expand to include the interior environment which surrounded them within a room, Rietveld took the ideas proposed by the De Stijl movement into the architectural designs of homes. One of the best examples of Rietveld’s designs is found in Schroder House (1924) in Utrecht in which the use of creating space using geometric shapes, planes, primary colors and movement of walls is applied. Rietveld allows for the light from the outside to come into the house adding to the creation of space through the play of light on the walls and floors which have minimal decoration and are sparsely furnished to allow for an expansive creative space. The idea of universalism and geometric space to allow for the creation of space is not unique in architectural design and can be found as far back as the 1600s in Kobori Enshu’s design of the Katsura Palace in Kyoto which applied the creation of space with the tatami module design also using moveable walls and walls which opened to the environment for flexibility in space.
Bibliography lists 14 sources.
