Synthesis Projects

You will develop a 2-page paper demonstrating your understanding of the subject matter of that specific time period. You may choose any design topic of that time that is of interest to you. Think of these projects as an opportunity to gain expertise in an area that is of interest to you. Focus on materials, ornament, structural elements, textiles, furnishings, architectural organization, etc. There is not a limit to an area for inquiry for these projects.

Consider the following (you do not need to include all these elements, select the most appropriate ideas for your topic):

1. How did social and political factors influence the design of the period?

2. Select two examples of design from the time period (architecture, interiors, or furniture). Sketch and describe how these two examples represent the time period. Discuss combinations of design periods, if appropriate.

3. Discuss one interior designer or architect from the specific time period. Why were their designs important during this time?

4. Describe significant materials and applications during this time period. Why were these materials important?

Each project will be 2 pages in length. It will include 2 hand/manual-drawn sketches or 2 hybrid digital/ manual sketches of designs from the period. Each sketch must include notations with arrows describing the design.
