Elizabeth Harvey_2a Rhetorical Precis




Mark Jarzombek and Alfred Hwangbo, “Global in a Not-So-Global World,” Journal of Architectural Education, Vol. 64, No. 2 (2011), pp. 59-65

1.     The author’s claim is his idea that the people, events and traditions of the town, city, country, and “nation” influenced history (whether art, cultural, architectural) collaboratively as a world.
2.     Evidence used to support the claim is through examples of ways the argument is not being achieved, through citations of argued instances and through clear sold opinions.
3.     The author’s purpose is to defend a new way of teaching students global awareness in order to promote the idea that a single building should relate to, inspire from, and effect everyone, everywhere by solving an issue or evoking conversation on a larger scale then the site in which it occupies.
4.     The intended audience of this piece is for the world exposed to architectural history, be it professors or students, as a teaching and understanding tool.

Carla Keyvenian, “Teaching History to Architects,” Journal of Architectural Education, Vol. 64, No. 2 (2011), pp. 25-36.

1.     The author’s claim is that architectural history is necessary not as a formal structure but as a guide, a learning tool, a way to understand change and an architects role and a way to set up a place for beginners in the world of architecture, through the meshing of history and modern.
2.     Evidence used to support the claim is provided in a way of examples on how to go about teaching in this way, though related sources and meaningful opinions.
3.     The author’s purpose is to create a new way to go about history lessons and relay the information in a relevant way in order to defend the idea that architectural history is relevant.
4.     The intended audience of this piece is professors and communicators of architectural education.
