These prcis are not meant to be mere summaries. In other words, these responses should serve as
evidence of active critical reading, and should help the student recall and share a thoughtful critical reaction
during the weekly discussion sections.
2 readings attachedFor Blondel and Perrault:
(In lieu of a prcis, please compare and contrast the short excerpts about Blondel and Perrault in no more than two paragraphs. How can we view differences between Perrault and Blondel’s ideas as a sort of dialectic–or dialogue–about a definition of architecture? Or perhaps an attitude towards historical precedent? Do not read the last page on Flibien , just the paragraph that finishes the second Perrault excerpt.
