ARCHITECTURE CULTURE & HISTORY 1
On our first Culture & History class, we are told that the assignments in this class will be a precedent study on one period of art history and we are assigned to choose a building from the particular period to work on. The period that we can choose is from Ancient Egypt until Rococo period. In a group of 4, me and my groupmate choose St. Peter's Basilica from Baroque Period to work on. The precedent study will be composed with:
-
An essay
-
Presentation Board, and
-
A balsa model
The first thing that we did is the essay that talk about Baroque period and St. Peter's Basilica in general. Here is the essay we did for the project
There are a lot of things that i learn by doing the essay. Some of them are:
-
Deep understanding about Baroque period
-

-
The reason why Baroque Period born
-
How is it different from Renaissance period
-
St.Peter's Basilica as a Baroque Architecture
-
The reason why St. Peter;s Basilica is a great building
-
Architects that contributes in the making of the Basilica
After finish doing research that concentrated on Baroque period, we are assigned to do more research on the building we are working on, and to pour all the research we did into an A2 presentation board. As a group we agreed to split the field of research on the building since St. Peter's Basilica is a great and rich building that one A2 board will not enough to explain the whole building. We divided our research based on parts of the building, such as; The facade, The interior, The dome, and the Piaza. For the presentation board, i work on the dome of St. Peter's Basilica.
Lastly, the end of our precedent study of Baroque Architecture, St. Peter's Basilica, we are assigned to create a model made of balsa wood with the dimension 30 cm x 30 cm x 10 cm.
