schematic chapter 4
1995.12.12
The fourth chapter--The Metabolization of History II--the Architecture of K. F. Schinkel will cover:
1. an analysis of the design alternatives for the Neue Wache
2. a reiteration of A. Vidler's analysis of the Altes Museum
3. the Greek versus the Roman ideal
4. the Bauacademie, although I'm not at all sure if an analysis and reconstruction of this building will contribute to the notion of metabolizing history
5. a possible analysis of the three "higher" architecture projects: the Crimean palace, the palace on the Acropolis, and the Residence for a Prince; these analyses will be related to the gigantism of the Campo Marzio, as well as representing a further manifestation of the idea of building type (which at this point is coming very close to eclecticism).
