a guided tour of a particular architectural site covered during the course.

This simple question captures a range of possibilities when considering the history of architecture. Students shall select an architectural or urban site covered during the course from the list below. In its essence, a guided tour is the opportunity to guide a listener through a space of your choosing, to investigate the environment and its architectures through sound. Students will have to rely on their powers of description for what is often a very visual discipline. Ten minutes is roughly 1500 words, so the challenge of the audio-tour is to be concise. However, students are not expected to simply talk about their site or deliver a list of facts for ten minutes: this is a tour and must therefore be conducted as if the listener is stepping into your chosen site for the first time. What does it feel like to be there? How does it smell? What does it look like? What historical events has this site played host to? Be creative. It is your tour, and you may conduct it however you wish.
