Acerca del libro
An "idiom" is generally defined as a combination of words that have a meaning that is different than the individual words themselves. It can have a literal meaning in one situation and a different idiomatic value in meaning and/or grammar. These colloquial metaphors are not considered a part of the language but rather a part of the culture. Here, students were challenged to see Architecture through different eyes and develop new “idioms” for a building of their choice. This project seeks to journey into uncharted waters and develop new paradigms of thinking for classical ideas.
The contents of this volume are comprised of the work completed in Professor Curtis Clay's 2009 Religious Structures: Historic Independent Study course where students explored a topic of their choice for an entire semester. These explorations are enhanced by on-site research undertaken when the entire class travels to the particular city where all of the student's structures exist. This particular semester, all of the students traveled to Florence, Italy. This volume is comprised of each student's research as well as photographs from other cities that the students encountered during their travels.
With over 350 images, drawings, maps and graphs, this 418 page volume offers essays with varying perspectives on religion, beauty, ethnic oppression, architectural history, art, and theater, in conjunction with photographic journals on seven cities throughout Italy.

Acerca del creador
The Howard University Department of Architecture offers a program of study leading to the five-year professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) degree accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB). The program places emphasis on student competence in the following pragmatic areas: design, inquiry/research, architectural history and theory, human behavior and environment, technical systems, computer usage and professional practice. These are complemented by elective courses in general/liberal education, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences. Study in these areas provides the student with fundamental communication skills through critical thinking, conflict resolution, visual literacy, knowledge of forces that shape and influence societal and human affairs and the impact of new technologies in an ever-changing world.
