I think an analytical look at the meaning behind why they used the high renaissance style and how that reflects the German parliament and function of the building would be ideal.<br /><br />I'm doing the Manhattan Municipal building which uses concrete and classical/renaissance influences similar to yours. Such styles in the U.S. reflected democracy and numerous countries across Europe used such styles of buildings when their governments turned democratic. Maybe you can research the German government a bit and maybe there is a connection to why this building was built in such a style.Molly Jacqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04027153816807436308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4403150224962359904.post-63788785050465204902009-04-19T12:07:00.000-07:002009-04-19T12:07:00.000-07:00if this is a building about UNITY how do you justi...if this is a building about UNITY how do you justify such a concept with all its seemingly unrelated parts. foster introduced the last of a series of changes to the building and attempted to bring the scheme together. might we understand his work as something about stitching a story together. what would that story be? i think you need to turn your analysis around, BEGINNING with foster's contribution and then peeling backwards, but first start with a statement that explains that this is a building about layers that took more than 100 years to gain them all through various political, cultural, and architectural lenses. keep pushing the actual analysis of the building privileging that exercise over a descriptive one. make sure you also talk about the building's interior.patrick lee lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04150478481310659062noreply@blogger.com
