1. Assignment Learning Outcomes
2. Assignment Descripton
Individually you will work on the assignment which looks into post-modern Western architecture. It
focuses on the theory of 6 main architects of Post Modernism.,
– Robert Venturi (Chapter 1-topic 1)
– Michael Graves (Chapter 1 – topic 3)
– Robert Stern (Chapter 1 – topic 5)
– Aldo Rossi (Chapter 10- topic 1)
– Tadao Ando (Chapter 10 – topic 1)
– Peter Eisenman (p174-181)
– Philip Johnson (from page 100)
– James Strling (James Strling, speech 1957, quoted in Contemporary Architecture p230)
The assignment aims to develop your understanding of post- modern architecture in general and
specifc architectural theories developed at the tme. This is achieved by doing an in-depth study of
one of the architects mentoned above. The assignment also focuses on artcles writen by the
following architects and compiled in Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture in order to fully
identfying their theories and works. The assignment will also look into 2 cases designed by the
architect to analyze the theories implemented in the design.
3. Assignment Process
1. Architect Selecton:
Conduct general research about the 6 architects and choose one to focus on.
2. In depth research : Conduct in-depth research of your specifc architect looking at :
1- educaton background- who was the architect infuenced by?
2- theoretcal approach?
3- attude towards modernism?
4- attude toward history as a source of inspiraton?
5- attude towards the symbolism and its communicate role?
6- attude towards the importance of the expressing tme, place, culture in design?
3. Case Study analysis: Choose 2 edifces designed by your architect and analyze and annotated
diagrams following the template on moodle.
1- Concept
2- Form
3- Internal space and user experience (plan space layout)
4- martals used
5- response to architectural context (classical / symbolic elements)
6- relatonship to site & surrounding context
4. Conclusion
Create a conclusion which identfes the main concepts and ideas which your pioneer
architect focused on- identfying the main characteristcs of modern architecture
Submission Week 12
4. Assignment Requirements
By the end of your research you will need to submit
1. Research showing your architect’s theories and methods (using the chapter and wider
reference)
2. Visual analysis of the cases – must include writen explanatons and annotated drawings.
3. Conclusion of your study.
Your work will be submited in an A4 typed landscaped document.
The document should Include a ttle bar that shows : Course name, year, semester, assignment
ttle & instructor’s name and presented in a Post Modern Style.
Combine & balance images & text for part 1 (500 words), add references, follow APA style. Part
2 visual document should be several pages. Part 3 conclusion page.
PLAGARISM = FAIL.

2:Working capital

Working capital, or actual cash available for spending, is the key to a successful organization. In a health care organization, it is important to determine how much cash is available to run the day-to-day operations. For this Discussion, you analyze the working capital of a health care organization of your choice.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Locate and select financial statements for a particular health care organization. Analyze the working capital of the organization.
Consider the impact of regulations, business plans, and economic dynamics on the working capital requirements of the business. Is there sufficient working capital for business operations of the organization you selected?
By Day 3
Post a cohesive response to the following:
Analyze the working capital of the health care organization you selected. Evaluate the impact of regulations, business plans, and economic dynamics on the working capital requirements of the business. Include whether or not there is sufficient working capital for business operations and explain why.
Support your response by identifying and explaining key points and/or examples presented in the Learning Resources.
