Two main components to be completed consist of:

Present proposal on this date and supply working title, subject, authors and images required along with rational. PowerPoint format if possible.
Minimum six varied sources which can include Internet, film, books, interviews and journals.

16th April we have sessions with third year students for guidance with the task, we will be split according to subject matter of our dissertation idea.

This session was to discuss early ideas for the dissertation proposal, so I hung around for this despite having no firm ideas yet for my pro forma. AT least three of us hadn't any firm ideas yet, and I think people will have more focus once the Essay is handed in on the 21st, myself included.

Critical Perspective Lecture Moderism

Tue 26th Feb 2013 Critical Perspective Lecture Moderism


This session started with a documentary than related to our previous lecture. We watched 'The September Issue' which related to the world of fashion and Vogue in particular.

Following on from this we moved onto today's subject matter, modernism and postmodernism.

Moderism - "Less is more" "Truth of materials"
Building as art
1880-1930 social transformation through architecture and design
Utopian schemes
Futurists design degradable structures so that each generation have to rebuild and create a new modern world.
Bauhaus (Walter Gropius)
 
Postmodernism-"less is a bore, you add more" "Playful and anarchic"
