Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
architecture is an art that goes beyond merely creating buildings to house people or objects. As an art, it is sometimes difficult to describe accurately; or rather, its easy enough
to give the dimensions of a room but very difficult to convey the feeling that room evokes in someone seeing it for the first time. This paper examines an article
about a Japanese building; the critique discusses the quality of the illustrations and how well the text matches them; it also discusses the building itself and whether or not the
architect has created a pleasing space. Finally, the writer responds to both the building and the article about it. Discussion First of all, in fairness to the author, it has
to be pointed out that the article, which appeared in The Architectural Review, was taken from a library database and not from the magazine itself. This means that the photos
