Week 11

This week I tried to decide on what I'll be doing for the final piece of assessment.
I know I want to focus on an architectural element within Mainz.

Possible locations for my final project are:



Churches -
        Old City - The Mainz Cathedral. This church is the centre of the old city district and has been apart of the city for approx. 1000+ years. Great deal of history and a strong influential components of the city.
        New City - Protestant Christ Church. A relatively new church (100 years) but the first protestant church within the strongly Roman Catholic city. The church does act like a monument in that it strongly

New City Public Square - The main promenade  of the new city. Draw comparisons from the Champ de Mars in Paris. Has a definite influence of the way the layout is structure.

Waterfront Development  - Since Mainz lies on the Rhine River, one of the busiest shipping channels in Europe, it would be interesting to see how the river front has been used over history and how that has shaped the city. Also since there are a few new developments going up along the river, whether or not these elements will further change the city.

For this report I am going to do another Panel + Report submission. I think I've learnt a bit from the last assignment and can hopefully improve and create both a visually impressive and informative report.

The CRA I have developed for my submission is as follows
