Landscapes 2/16


Homework: Go to five coffeehouses in LBB and journal about the following:
  • How do they compare to the Viennese and English coffeehouses that Oldenberg describes?
  • What historical aspects are present?
  • How do they compare to each other?
  • How does the physical landscape affect the ambience of each?
  • What are the clientele like and how is that related to the ambience?
  • Describe the physical landscape and your own aesthetic response to it? What works/doesn't work, and why?
Make sketches and write text to illustrate your arguments.

For next week:

Read the last two essays in the course packet, both titled "Main Street."
Meet at the Honors College at 2 PM, with your bikes aired up and ready to roll.
