Assignment 3: Exploring One Principle of Modern Architecture
• Weight: %25
• Word Count: 1500 words maximum (excluding the principle being quoted)
• Submission date: Friday 06.10.2017, 16:00 pm
• Hardcopy submission: Level 6 Assignment Box, Building 421 (Architecture Building), 26 Symonds
Street.
• Electronic copy submission: Directly in Canvas
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of this assignment are to develop:
• Your skills in identifying key theories describing the modern architecture in architectural hisotry
• Your understanding of the transformations influencing the emergence of modern architecture
• Your skills in clear, effective written communication, employing recognised academic and
professional conventions.
• Your skills in citing and referencing the resources correctly following academic and professional
conventions
• Your skills in visual analysis
• Your ability to identify scholarly research
CONTENT
For this essay, you are asked to:
• Select one principle of ‘Modern Architecture’ described by an architectural historian/theorist including:
Kenneth Frampton, Anthony Vidler, Alan Colquhoun, Sigfried Giedion, Reyner Banham, William Curtis or
Manfredo Tafuri.
• This principle can be a definition or a description or a feature of Modern Architecture.
• This principle clearly points to a key characteristic of modern architecture.
• Explain this principle of ‘Modern Architecture’ in your own words.
• Select a building (from the list provided at the end of this document) and explore how this principle allows us
to locate the building within the history of modern architecture.
GUIDELINES FOR THE ESSAY
• Start the essay with the principle (definition/description/ feature of Modern Architecture) at the beginning.
Write it as a quotation and include the reference. This principle should be clear, simple and concise. It
should point to an underlying feature of modern architecture.
• To find a principle of modern architecture you need to spend a considerable time going through different
texts, so make sure you are planning in advance to find a proper definition/description. This is a very
important step in the structure of the essay.
• Choose a different building from that which you wrote about in Assignment 1.
• The essay should include the basic introduction of the building, similar to the information you gathered
in assignment one. For instance, name, location, date and architect of the building.
• The essay should elaborate upon a key aspect of the building which resonates with the principle of modern
architecture. For instance, if the quote points to the ‘universal rational perfection’ or
‘radicalism’ or ‘struggle for progress’ as the key features of modern architecture or modern movement, then
you need to analyse how your selected building expresses progress or quests for
rational perfection.
• Explore the relation between the principle you’ve selected and a building by considering some of
below points:
Architect’s ideas in exploring the design of the building
The building influence on other architects and the design of other buildings
The importance of the building within the history and development of modern architecture
Socio-political, cultural, economic, technological and ideological settings in which the
building emerged
Architectural institutions of the time
The reasons why this building has been classified as modern
The scale of the project
Conflicting opinions and ideas against which the architecture emerged
Formal and structural innovation and their appropriations into their present time
• This assignment is an essay and it needs an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
• Overall, the essay should be able to analyse why the selected architecture is considered as a modern
building/structure.
ASSESSMENT
This assignment is worth 25% of the marks for this course. Assessment criteria are:
• The extent to which the quotation indicates key features of modern architecture
• The extent to which the essay describes the ways through which the selected building can be classified
as a modern building
• The extent to which the assignment is well written, and written in your own words and with a clear
introduction and conclusion
• The extent to which the assignment is fully referenced, in accordance with established academic
conventions
• The extent to which images have been used to portray the building and support the argument
• The extent to which scholarly resources are used
REFRENCE
Acknowledgement of sources is an important aspect of academic writing. The University’s Referen©ite website
www.cite.auckland.ac.nz provides students with a one-stop online resource for academic referencing needs.
Referen©ite explains the essentials of referencing and how to avoid plagiarism. It also includes practical tools to help
students reference correctly and use references effectively in writing, and
presents examples of the various different referencing formats.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
• This is an individual assignment. Students who work together on the same buildings and submit similar work
will be marked down. Given this, be sure to choose different buildings from those your friends are writing
about.
• Essay must be written on a computer.
• A4 format, portrait, with simple top left staple (i.e. no spiral binding; no plastic sleeve);
• Essay must employ footnotes and include a bibliography, both formatted according to the Chicago
referencing style.
• Total word length, excluding principle quotation, captions, footnotes and bibliography: 1500 words.
• Give the word count at the end of your essay.
• Illustrate your essay with relevant images, including plans, sections and/or photographs. Splice your
images into your text, i.e. do not present them as an appendix. Every image must have a caption
immediately under it or just to one side of it. The caption should say what the image is of (briefly), and
should then identify the source for the image using the footnote format for short citations, i.e. author’s
surname, short title and page number if you take it from a book or journal. Include the full reference in your
bibliography.
• Full documentation (footnotes, bibliography and sources of illustrations) is essential. If your writing
is unreferenced, you will not pass.
• Give consideration to how the final assignment looks like, that is the photographs are places beautifully
within the text and the captions are placed in an appropriate place with a readable font- size.
• Plagiarism will lead to failure – use your own words, except when using direct quotations.
• Read through and edit your essay several times before submission. You might read it out loud for yourself
or ask a friend to read it for you. This will help with editing.
• You are required to submit both a hardcopy (paper copy) of your assignment and an electronic copy.
The deadline for hard-copy and electronic copy is the same.
• Attach a School of Architecture and Planning Assignment Cover Sheet to the hardcopy. Before you
submit, you must fill out the Cover Sheet and sign it.
• Submit your electronic copy directly in Canvas.
• Upload you assignment only as a Word File (doc).
• You cannot submit multiple file uploads. Make sure the files being uploaded is the correct version.
• You cannot resubmit your assignment or submit the assignment past the due date.
• Watch this video on how to submit on Canvas: https://community.canvaslms.com/videos/1121

In addition, if any of the following standard comments are circled, then they also apply to your essay.If
none are circled, then you can assume that none of the comments are applicable to your essay:
1. This essay is too short (less than 900 words).
2. This essay is too long (more than 1050 words).
3. More care is needed with proof-reading and editing your text.
4. You need to make better use of the University of Auckland’s guide to using the Chicago
referencing system for formatting footnotes and bibliographies. See www.cite.auckland.ac.nz .
5. When footnoting, you need to include the full citation the first time you footnote any one particular
source and then to use the abridged citation for subsequent references to the same source. See
www.cite.auckland.ac.nz .
6. Too much reliance on quotes. Try to demonstrate your understanding of the source material by re-
phrasing in your own words.
7. This essay is largely descriptive rather than analytical.
8. The essay needs an introduction that explains the scope of the essay, the topic being pursued and
the questions being asked of the material. It is often very appropriate to include a statement about
the main essay findings, along the lines of: ‘This essay shows that . . . .’
9. The structure of this essay is not very clear. You might try using a sentence in your introduction to
explain the structure to the reader, or try using sub-headings to clarify the structure.
10. The essay needs a stronger conclusion. Try to reiterate the essay findings and also to elaborate
upon the importance of your essay findings.
11. More care is needed with image captions and sources. Every image needs a caption saying what
the image shows and where you got it from, i.e. its source.
12. PLAGIARISM WARNING: Your Turnitin report shows that you are not always using quotation
marks to identify direct quotes. You must ALWAYS either use quotation marks for direct quotes, or
reword into your own words.
13. More care is needed with placing images and captions in relation to the body of the assignment.
