Architecture 222 & 410/510/610

Use library resources or The Great Buildings Collection to find a good building, one which is a good piece of architecture. This will require you to consider what it is that makes a building good -- beautiful, comfortable, friendly, exciting, radical, expensive, inexpensive, old, new, etc.

We will not grade you on your opinion, but rather on how well thought out it is. Use what you're learning in Architecture 201 this term! The rest of the assignment will be based on this chosen building.

The mechanics of producing the paper start with creating three separate pieces in each of the appropriate applications -- at least 200 words of text, a drawing, and an image. These should work together in the finished product to help illustrate your point about the good building.

You may use your PowerCADD section drawing from the last assignment, as long as it is appropriate to the subject of your document. Otherwise, you can make a very simple drawing in PowerCADD for the required object-graphic illustration in your project.

For the image graphic, you may copy a pixel image from the Great Buildings Collection to use as an illustration, or create an original painting. If you know how to use a scanner, such as the one in the Design Computing Lab, you could scan material for the image. (You must indicate the source of any non-original material, using bibliographic endnotes.)

When the raw pieces are complete, prepare your working environment for the combining process. Quit from all running applications except the Finder. Next, start the transfer process by opening the ClarisWorks word-processing document containing your writing. Just double click as usual on the document icon.

Now, go back to the Finder (using the application menu in the upper right-hand corner of the screen, or by clicking on a visible Finder window or icon), and open your object graphic document in PowerCADD. Select the portion you want to transfer, using the appropriate selection method (drag rectangle, command-drag rectangle, shift-click, marquee, lasso, or Select All) and then use the Edit menu Copy function. Now your graphic is in the Clipboard.

Switch back to ClarisWorks, by menu or click. Then use the Edit menu Paste function to place the illustration in the document from the clipboard. If you paste into ClarisWorks while in drawing mode (with the Arrow tool chosen at the top of the ClarisWorks tool palette) the illustration will appear in your paper in its own frame. To add the graphic "in-line" instead, click on the "A" icon in the ClarisWorks tool palette to make sure you're in text mode, and then position the insertion point in the document where you want your illustration to appear by clicking at that point in the document, and finally Paste.

Save your ClarisWorks document, in a new version, to lock in your success. Now, go back to PowerCADD, and Quit to free up the memory it was using. Switch to ClarisWorks again, choose the Arrow tool for Draw mode, and then use File menu InsertÉ to read in the image file.

In general, you should bring the image in first as a framed graphic (in Draw mode) so you can resize it easily. Then if you want it really to be an inline graphic after you've adjusted it, select it as a frame, Cut it out, choose the Text tool, and Paste the image back into the text stream.

Finally, with all three pieces together in ClarisWorks, spend some time on the overall graphic composition of your compound document. Use the View menu Show Rulers command to get the graphic control bar for margins, tabs, line heights, paragraph justification, styles, etc. (the "ruler").

Make sure your paper has a good title, attractive but not too gaudy, include a basic bibliography if you've used any research sources, and don't use the underline or shadow text styles for anything. They are generally tacky. You should also avoid the fonts named after citiesÑthey are based on bit-maps, rather than smooth mathematical outlines, so they don't print as well on the LaserWriter.
