Q To return to our chart of tripartite developmental structures in Western art, we can place the Carpenter Center as a third element, in which Parthenon is in the first position, and Amiens Cathedral is in the second position. Based on what you have learned in the previous video, and throughout this course, explain why it might make sense that the Carpenter Center occupies the third position in this framework. You might consider questions of relative openness and closure in your answer. Also think about how the building reaches out or does not reach out into the environment around it, and compare its tendencies to those of Amiens and the Parthenon. Note, as well, how the building is connected to the environment around it, through its overall massing, and by how the ramp that runs through the building is designed—in relation to the building itself and in relation to the sidewalks and streets that frame the structure. Another way to pose this question is: Why would it not make sense to see the Carpenter Center in the first or second positions in this three-part development? Be sure to describe each building, by comparing and contrasting it to the other two examples. Be specific and precise in using terminology appropriate to each structure. Do not just state that a building seems closed or open, but recall that we are dealing with relative values, and that relative closure or openness is achieved by physical means—in other words, through the disposition of elements such as walls, windows, and more. Also, make reference to three works we've covered in past lessons in order to show how these works function as an evolutionary sequence. In other words, discuss the present examples in light of what we've already established.
