Assignment: London Orientation Exercises |
| Each student shall present
her/his assigned London area to the class during the term. This oral
presentation shall be accompanied by an optimized Adobe pdf slide show limited to
12 slides, including one slide that summarizes the suggested walk
through the London area with a map (Google and/or openstreetmap.org are
good sources) and notes.
Please upload your presentations to the course Google Drive folder prior to the due date. They will be available to course members while in London as well as before and after. Each of the areas assigned is presented as a chapter/part chapter in the textbook, London's Contemporary Architecture 6th ed. Your task to distill, interpret, and analyze information from the text and corroborating sources as well as provide color images of and graphics about the area that support or argue against the author's claims. Design a walk through the area that takes you to 6–10 (no more!) significant buildings, public spaces, or activities. Make sure to identify a place to rest or hangout for sketching or having a cuppa during your planned tour. Note the architect responsible for each building. Explain why you chose the places on your walk! Limit your presentation to 8 minutes! Also suggest the mode of travel to get to your walk's start point from Victoria Hall and how long it would take and how much it would cost to get there (Transport for London's web <www.tfl.gov.uk> can be helpful in sorting modes of transit—including walking—and fares). Cite sources for all images and for all information included in your presentation. Do NOT simply read the text to your colleagues. Reading Assignments
