ARCH 352: FINAL EXAM REVIEW SHEET Spring 2015
Images of any building or project may also be found on the Arch 352 site in the CBE Visual
Resources Collection. References are also given to pages in Ingersoll/Kostof (IK). For those
works for which images cannot be found in Ingersoll/Kostof, reference is made to Curtis (third
edition—C3) and/or Trachtenberg/Hyman (second edition—T2; this is another survey text,
copies of which may be found on reserve). In addition, of course, students should be able to
discuss major concepts, theories, and the broad development of Modern architecture from the
mid 1880s to about 1995--see list on pages 4-5.
