    Please refer to the course readings and lectures. Please do not “cut and paste” your 
    responses from other sources, including AI-driven platforms. 
    1.
    Write your response in FULL SENTENCES—NO MORE THAN 500 WORDS ALL TOGETHER.
    Indicate your word count in your submission at the end of your response. (Total: 35 Points): Be sure to use
    the term, Globalism.) 
    How would you define “Globalism” in the built environment (5 Points)? What are TWO specific
    conditions of “Globalism” that designers must negotiate in their practices considering
    standardization and labor issues (10 points)? Based on these two conditions, what would be your
    position as a designer in the context of “Globalism” in the built environments (10 points)? Provide
    TWO examples to support your claims (10 Points). 
    2.
    Develop A FULLY STRUCTURED ESSAY—NO MORE THAN 800 WORDS ALL TOGETHER.
    Indicate your word count in your submission at the end of your response. Make sure to demonstrate your
    thesis and argument in the beginning as an introductory paragraph without any filler general empty
    sentences. Be as specific as possible; do not assume readers will understand your claims. Please underline
    and indicate your thesis sentence. We suggest starting with outlining the structure of your essay (Total: 60
    Points): 
    Compare and contrast the following two images. Demonstrate your connection, position, or
    argument in a concise and clear sentence in the beginning; make sure you underline and indicate
    your thesis sentence (10 points). Identify these two images with the author, the software, and the year
    (10 points). Provide the historical and theoretical context, considering how the built environment
    designers became consumers of computers (10 Points). In that historical context, demonstrate how
    these two images differ (10 Points). How did these two images help you understand computers’ role
    in the built environment (10 Points)? Introduce one reading from the assigned reading list to support
    your argument and claims. (5 points). We will be keen on your essay’s clarity, transitions, structure,
    tone, and narrative (5 Points).   
    Use Globalization Today reading and Lecture notes 14 to answer question 1.
    Use Progressive architecture, Architecture and the computer and Lecture notes 13 to answer question 2.

  • Title: Solar-Powered Pavilion Design Floor Plan: [Insert Floor Plan Image] Site Context: [Insert Site Context Image] Roof Plan: [Insert Roof Plan Image] Building Section: [Insert Building Section Image] Active Solar Design Methods

    Design a simple, naturally day-lit structure or pavilion that resists solar heat gain & glare and which also incorporates some form of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV). Sketch a simple floor plan with nearby site context, roof plan and a building section to illustrate the active solar design methods being employed. As applicable, identify any nearby vegetation (trees?), and pay attention to aesthetics (this is a design exercise, not merely an engineering activity). Consider using color and line-weight differentiation as a way to clearly communicate your design intent and to distinguish between physical elements and graphic notation (such as a north arrow). PLEASE INCLUDE NORTH ARROW
    Your structure/pavilion can be located either at the area where you performed a Site Analysis or, for students in the 200B class, at the project site for that class.
    I will provide student examples here:

  • The Survival of London’s Street Markets: A Critical Analysis in Chicago Style

    My teacher asked me to rewrite the essay based on these instructions in Chicago Style.
    Instructions
    Your script offers a good descriptive summary of street markets in London (not sure
    all those you mention can be called “flea markets” though) and points at some of
    the challenges for keeping them alive within the complexity of urban change. The
    problem of the script is that it is excessively descriptive and does not provide
    enough evidence as to how the references that you list at the end have been used
    in the text. Those references should appear in the form of footnotes at relevant
    points in the text; at the same time, it is not only a matter of scattering some
    footnotes around but to summarise and comment on specific points that are made
    in the texts. For example: what do we learn from Jan Gehl and how can that be
    applied to what you can observe in a London street market?
    It is important to reflect on the relation between the text and the film and how one
    builds on the other – and which one builds on which, something that is not wholly
    clear in your submission. Usually, a written script is turned into a film; yet you could
    also do the opposite: you have some footage (the one you have produced) and you
    extract a text/narrative from it. This would imply close readings of things that
    happen in the film and that would also allow you to go beyond the overall feeling of
    praise of every single aspect of a street market that emerges from your text: aren’t
    markets also difficult places? Isn’t there any criticality to be considered? While not
    having to aim for a negative viewpoint, your analysis would definitely benefit from a
    more critical observation of what is in front of your camera.
    You should re-work and re-submit the text (without re-working the film), which you
    can do in a few different ways. One is a simple revisiting of it by means of adding
    references where necessary in the text. This should be done as suggested above,
    that is, not merely adding a few footnotes that provide the title of a text but
    articulating some thoughts about the specific sources you are using. So, this would
    imply re-writing some sections of your text to embed the sources clearly. The result
    would be still within the realm of a somewhat canonical essay in terms of writing
    format and style. A second way of re-working the text is to re-write it (almost)
    completely by following the suggestion given above of starting from the film and
    extracting observations from it (no problem if the market shown in the film is
    different from the ones you are writing about: you can still find in it examples of
    social practices that apply to many different locations). This would imply taking
    decisions as to who is writing/speaking (a vendor, a visitor, some specific objects in
    the market, etc.? You should choose one and keep it consistent) as well as trying to
    write a bit differently from a canonical essay (which in part you are already doing by
    using the first person).
    Overall, your text is not on the edge of a low pass and for this reason, as long as
    you revisit it along the lines suggested above and aim for clearer reference to the
    bibliography and some more critical analysis.

  • Design Guidelines for a Small Boutique Hotel: Incorporating Evidence-Based Principles of Environmental Psychology for All Age Groups and Accessibility Introduction: The design of a hotel can greatly impact the overall experience and satisfaction of guests. In order to create a welcoming and comfortable

    For this assignment you will be working on “designing” a small boutique hotel. No need to worry if you’re not interior designer (major)!
    You will be creating “design guidelines” which should reflect your awareness and understanding of the evidence-based design approach through the principles of environmental psychology for design. In short, you will need to apply everything that we learned this semester.
    Background: Your client wants your professional input for various areas of their small boutique hotel. The hotel will cater to ALL age groups, will be ADA accessible, and incorporate Universal Design.
    Listed below are the different areas along with the amount of “ideas” that you need to provide in order to satisfy the requirements of this paper.Keep in mind that you need to address ALL age groups!
    You are encouraged to do an online research to find specific companies/manufacturers that produce furniture, finishes, fixtures, etc. that you will be providing as “solution” for each of the spaces. Also, make sure that the same “solution” is not used for multiple spaces! Having images of the solutions is important (minimum one image per solution = 20 points)
    Areas/spaces of focus: amount of solutions required: (amount of points)
    1. Entry lobby: 5 (10 points each)
    2. Hallways: 5 (10 points each)
    3. Hotel Rooms: 10 (10 points each)
    4. Hotel Bathrooms: 10 (10 points each)
    Conclusions: (100 points)
    Write a one-page conclusion regarding the proposed solutions/guidelines and the potential outcomes and impacts
    that those will have on the quality of stay at the small boutique hotel. (Minimum of one-page, double-spaced, font Times New Roman, font size 10.)
    Having a title/cover page with all required info (10 point) and works cited page (10 points) is important.
