Please place your bids Description Study your assigned reading, including the article "Suger`s Miracles, Branner`s Bourges: Reflections on `Gothic Architecture` as Medieval Modernism" by Marvin Trachtenberg. Write a two-page research essay that explores the concept discussed in Trachtenberg`s article. In what ways was Gothic architecture "modern"? What specific architectural developments in Gothic architecture can be thought of as modern? Use two or more specific examples to explain your key points. You will format your research essay on your 11" by 11" template. Your two-page research essay, formatted on your 11" by 11" template, will include the following: Roughly one-half of your template will be your essay text. See "Organization and Structure" below for more detail on your text. The other half of your 11" by 11" sheet will include diagrams, details, context images, plans, elevations, etc. Your supporting images should further illustrate your key points. This is not a sketching assignment, and you do not need to hand draw sketches. Where appropriate, add notation and diagrammatic information to illustrate your main points on your supporting images. Layout is important, so think about how you will visually balance your page. The 11" x 11" format should be on a template containing Assignment Title, Date, Module Number, Course Number, and School. Sources: Use notation for all direct quotes. Include a bibliography with at least five sources. Your sources should include the Trachtenberg article and can include your textbooks (Buildings Across Time and Global Architecture). Organization and Structure: Your two-page research paper should begin with an introduction paragraph that contains your paper`s thesis. The introduction should be followed by statements and examples all designed to support your thesis. End your paper with a conclusion, which will summarize your findings and restate your thesis. The two pages of your text do not include images or your bibliography. Language: Correct use of the English language in terms of grammar, expression, and spelling. Use professional vocabulary in descriptions and analysis of architecture. The essays and research papers are required to use proper research language; they are not letters or emails. Imagine them being in a publication that collects opinions and short essays related to one specific topic published for an audience that is professionally interested. Check your spelling and grammar—take advantage of the writing lab and/or all related options that are available if necessary. Images: List all image sources. They are often proprietary information.
