R. Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion House
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. From the vivid imagination of F. Buckminster Fuller came temperance and detail coupled with the quest for limited space, an influence he treasured from other architects who harnessed their spatial tendencies. No longer bound by the stagnant imagination of space and materials, Fuller allowed himself to create an architectural masterpiece in the Dymaxion House by manipulating color and form, materials and shapes, spending his entire career designing buildings with a context that was infused with the combined poetry of form and functionality of real life.

Resistance to “Progress”
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing how resistance influences change. Two authors, Kenneth Frampton and Karsten Harries, discuss both change and the lack of change in architecture. Each finds reasons for resistance to change over time; Frampton attributes that resistance to regionalism. Where regionalism is strong (such as in New England), there are many restrictions, both written and unwritten. Where regionalism is not as strong (1920s California, as example), individuals are more willing to take risks with architecture. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Romanesque and Gothic Art and Architecture
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the features of Romanesque and Gothic art and architecture. The 11th to 15th centuries saw a great surge of the Christian Church within Europe which was emphasized by the persuasiveness of the Crusades. The growing population of the Church increased the demand for the increased presence in architectural monuments and during the Romanesque and Gothic periods, a great cathedral construction “boom” occurred across Europe. The Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles were distinctive in not only the massiveness of the Romanesque monuments and the introduction of the cruciform plan and the Norman twin towers but also for the introduction of the Gothic era art within the Cathedrals which included the inclusion of art and sculpture of the Madonna and Christ, the radiating Rose Window, radiating chapels, column figures and the gargoyle among many others.
