7. ESSAY PORTION, EXAM 2 Three of the following four essays will be on the exam, each worth 15 points. The images provided are meant to assist your memory, but they BY NO MEANS represent all the information or ideas for the essay. Your essays must show not simply a comprehension, but a fluency in the larger historical contexts of architecture – the contexts of ideas, politics, economics, and etc., of which architecture is a manifestation. Your essays must also prove a fluency in formal analysis and vocabulary. Because you have been given the essay topics in advance, and because you have had not only an essay-writing workshop but also an first exam, you are expected to attain a level of sophistication in your answers that was noticeably lacking in the vast majority of essays on the first exam. We expect those endowed with a gift and/or opportunity – be it artistic, intellectual, or circumstantial – to cultivate that gift and use it as a vehicle for excellence in life. As St. Luke said, “To whom much is given, much is expected.” (Luke 12:48). You have been given much; use your gifts with devotion. And write me an excellent essay.
