Write a critical response to Patricia O’Leary’s article
“Barragan’s Homage to Albers”.
STEPS
1. Read O’Leary’s article “Barragan’s Homage to
Albers” thoroughly, twice.
2. In a Word document, begin with a title-page:
your name, class, assignment # and date.
Beginning with page two, write a 500–1000-word
critical response (“critical” does not mean that you point out what is wrong
with the article; it means that you engage actively with the arguments it
makes). Focusing on Albers’s theories of hue adjacency and color transparency,
analyze Barragan’s implementation of these in built environments. As before, no
summary of O’Leary’s article (or of Albers’s theories or of Barragan’s
buildings) is to be included; instead, engage directly with the arguments
O’Leary advances. Are these borne out by the evidence? You must do additional
research (in scholarly sources; I’d suggest starting with JStor) to support
your analysis.
