essay

Select an architectural construction—a home in your neighborhood, a commercial building downtown, or a public building—that you find compelling or interesting. It may be any building, as long as it is located in your area.

Photograph the building and save the image as a JPG image file no larger that 5MB. If you do not have a camera, you may find an image online and provide a link.

Write a 350- to 700-word paper that analyzes your selected architectural construction. Your paper should include the image of the construction (or a link), and it should answer the following questions:

• Identify the building’s design elements. What decorative style is used?
• Does the building make use of any interesting technology or techniques (for example, sustainable design)?
• What values or needs does this architectural work reflect?

Format your paper according to APA writing guidelines.
