Influence of historical styles on contemporary interiors
Write a 5-7 page paper that will examine the influence of historical styles on contemporary interiors.
1. Look through Interior Design and Architecture journals, and identify two to four interiors from the past 15 years that reference (directly or indirectly) a style from the past (Greek, Renaissance, Neoclassical, Baroque, An Nouveau, De Stijl to name a few) In order to do this, you will have to go beyond visual observation to understand the deeper meanings that these interiors have.
Journals can be either academic, trade or commercial. Some options include: Journal of Design History, Journal of Interior Design, Interior Design, Wallpaper, Design and Culture, Donuts, Frame, Architectural Digest, Architectural Review Interiors. Ask for help if you need!
2. Your paper will present your findings, explaining how the interiors you have found reflect the earlier design style through one or more of the following: form, spatial layout, color scheme, materials chosen, theoretical underpinnings, geometry, and ornament. This will entail research about the context of the chosen interiors as well as discussion of the historical styles.
3. Websites are not a good place to do research. Visit the library! Use books and scholarly journal articles. You must have at least two hooks and two articles in your bibliography, and not more than one website.
4. Discussion should include considerations of the following questions:
– In what ways is this interior a reflection or contradiction of its time or of the history of interior design?
– How does it respond to the values of its contemporary society (think about gender issues, class issues. aesthetic issues, etc)?
– What is the main value of the interior’s stylistic traits? How are design and decoration informing the layout of space?
– What purpose did the interior originally serve, and who was its primary audience? How did the designer(s) respond to all of these constraints?
– How did the interior relate to the rest of the building and/or the designer’s other work (if known)?
– What are other references or influences on the space?
– What were the technical and engineering considerations and/or constraints?
Issue of slavery in the united states
Answer five of the questions below with short-answer responses of four or five lines using complete sentences.
Why, according to Karl Marx’s analysis of “The North American Civil War,” (1861) did the London press seek to portray that conflict as centered on tariff and trade policy rather than about the issue of slavery in the United States?
Briefly identify the major developments that according to Marx’s analysis, effectively removed any restrictions on the spread of slavery into newly acquired territories of the United States by the late 1850s.
Briefly summarize Marx’s arguments that slavery in the American south could not survive unless there was continuous expansion of territories where new slave plantations on fresh soil could be opened up.
Why according to Marx did the U.S. Democratic Party split on the issue of slavery in the presidential election of 1860, thereby enabling the Republican Abraham Lincoln to win?
In pp. 457-458 of Eric Hobsbawm’s “The Making of a Bourgeois Revolution,” (on-line at http://www.jstor.org.ccny-proxy1.libr.ccny.cuny.edu/stable/pdf/40971710.pdf? )
Hobsbawm argues that revolutions cannot be judged solely by what revolutionaries themselves intend to accomplish. What are his stated reasons for this judgement?
On pp. 460-463 Hobsbawm argues that efforts to deny the historical importance of the French Revolution of 1789-99 by some historians in the late 20th century were at least partly motivated by the supposed influence of Karl Marx on the view of that event as bourgeois revolution, even though Marx himself had little to say about the event. Who were the thinkers, then who in fact first interpreted that event as a revolution of the bourgeoisie against monarchical and aristocratic society as identified in Hobsbawm essay?
On pp. 466-469 of his essay, Hobsbawm acknowledges that there was no self-identified “bourgeoisie” at the start of the French Revolution in 1789. Yet he maintains on pp. 470-472 that such a social class existed by the end of the Revolution (and its aftermath under Napoleon) by 1815. Briefly identify the circumstances that in Hobsbawm’s view created a bourgeois class consciousness among people who merely thought of themselves as individuals rather than as a social group before 1789.

Instructions
Essays are extensive informed views but not research papers. An informed view differs from an opinion in that it relies on views that have preceded its quest. A view becomes ‘informed’ when it incorporates into its argumentation process the views of others. An essay begins by describing the issue of its concern. It continues by stating what others have written or said about that particular issue of concern. It concludes by proposing an original or unique idea on the matter and by building an argument in support of that idea.
Essays, in this course, need to be within context. By context it is meant the exact bounds set by the essay question or subject matter; staying within bounds means, staying within context.
Essays, in this course, should not exceed a 1000 word mark. For an essay to be well structured, in this course, it should not count less than 800 words.
An essay, in this course, does not require foot notes or bibliography, although ALL material included in the essay that does ‘belong’ to the Essay’s author should be presented in a full citation (Chicago, Harvard or Associate Press citation methodology is accepted). Also, at the end of the Essay, all sources used by the author should be alphabetically listed under a “Sources” heading.
