Styles of Architecture
Step 1 of 3: Become familiar with 15 different styles of architecture.
Instructions: on your own, research 15 of the 36 different styles of architecture listed below. Insert a picture and write a very short description of the style in
your own words. Add the site you used to find this information. Here is an
example of the layout you will use.
Note: save your work often and create a table with the following features in
WORD. This will help organize your work.

Step 2 of 3: PowerPoint Presentation
Choose 1 style of Architecture to focus on. Prepare a PowerPoint presentation on the architectural style you have chosen. We will be viewing the presentations in class. Your presentation should include:
• A description or definition of the architectural style
•Characteristics of this type of architecture
•Examples of the style of architecture (at least 10) with explanations. USE PICTURES
•The time and place where it began to be used
•Did this style of architecture meet human requirements when it was created?
What were those requirements or needs?
•Did the environment have an effect on the design? Explain why or why not.
•The reasons why it grew as a style of building
•What has become of the style now (if that applies)
•Do you like this style of architecture? Explain why or why not, give examples
•What could be changed to make this style of architecture better in today’s world? Hints to making a good PowerPoint Presentation:
•Include lots of visuals and minimal text!
•Remember to put it in your own words.
•Use point form
•K eep in mind that if you don’t understand what you are writing your classmates won’t either.
•Please use the correct slide format: i.e. do not choose a text template to paste a picture.
Step 3 of 3: Perspective drawing
Create a 2 or 3 point perspective drawing of one of the buildings that represents your style of architecture. Complete this drawing on an 8x11 piece of white
paper. This can be used in your portfolio at the end of the course. The drawing
should represent the major elements of architecture you researched. Have this
ready to pass in when you present.。
