Inventions of London

Title of this Milestone

Abstract

The paragraph should give a three to five sentence abstract about your entire London HUA experience including 1) a summary of the aims of your project, 2) your prior experience with humanities and arts courses and disciplines, and 3) your major takeaways from the experience. This can and should be very similar to the paragraph you use to summarize this milestone on your Profile Page. It should contain your main Objective, so be sure to clearly state a one-sentence statement that summarizes your main objective for this milestone such as "a comparison of the text of Medieval English choral music to that of the Baroque" or it may be a question such as "to what extent did religion influence Christopher Wren's sense of design?"

Introduction


I suggest you save this section for last. Describe the essence of this project. Cover what the project is and who cares in the first two sentences. Then cover what others have done like it, how your project is different. Discuss the extent to which your strategy for completing this project was new to you, or an extension of previous HUA experiences.

As you continue to think about your project milestones, reread the "Goals" narrative on defining project milestones from the HU2900 syllabus. Remember: the idea is to have equip your milestone with a really solid background and then some sort of "thing that you do". You'll need to add in some narrative to describe why you did the "thing that you did", which you'd probably want to do anyway. You can make it easy for your advisors to give you a high grade by ensuring that your project milestone work reflects careful, considerate, and comprehensive thought and effort in terms of your background review, and insightful, cumulative, and methodical approaches toward the creative components of your project milestone deliverables.

Background


Now you're on your own! Your milestone must include a thorough and detailed background section with detailed subsections; if additional articles are required to be referenced in this background section, create those as well and link to them (the creation of all pages is tracked by the wiki site and attributed to your username). Remember to use rich multimedia whenever possible. Consult the Help page as needed! Remember, if you don't see an article on this site that is an integral part of your project, create it! Your entire page-creating/page-editing history factors into your overall grade.

Glass

Glass Blowing

  • Who practiced it?
  • How was it practiced? As a skilled profession? As a job?
  • What uses did the final products have?

Excise Tax

  • What is it?
  • Who created it?
  • Impact: Glass production, Glass houses (greenhouses), The crystal Palace



Tower Bridge

Architects

  • Original Plan
  • New Architect's redesigned plan
  • Delays?

Building

  • Timing- Plan and Reality
  • Materials: What are they? Where did they come from? Cost?
  • Effect on surrounding area during construction



The London Underground

Plan

  • Who planned the building? Were they also the one who oversaw everything?
  • When?
  • Why was the underground considered necessary/useful at the time of it’s being built?

Execution

  • Time: What was the original time frame for the construction? Were there any major problems/ set backs?
  • How extensive was the original map?
  • Cost: Materials? Production?



Deliverable: Comparing the original to present day

Glass

Glass Blowing: Still Done Today

  • Why? For what purpose?
  • How is it different than why glass blowing was used in the past?
  • Who is it done by? Is this Different? How?

Taxes on Glass

  • What are taxes on glass like today? Difference, similarities, and reasoning behind them?
  • Why have they changed? Why have certain details remained the same?



Tower Bridge

Purpose

  • Does it serve the same purposes it was originally intended for? Consider walking, vehicles, and water travel.
  • How has it expanded and/or remained true to the original creator’s ideas?

Effect

  • Does it have the same effects on traffic? Consider walking, vehicles, and water travel.

New impacts

Cost
  • Restorations- where does the money come from? Taxpayers? Tours?
  • Only bridge over the Thames not to be completely replaced. How has it lasted so long? Will complete rebuilding ever be necessary?
Tourism
  • Now a major attraction of the city.
  • Does this create an additional purpose for the bridge unrelated to its function?



The London Underground

How has this revolutionary mode of transportation adapted to account for the increased population of London?

Timelines

  • Stations: New and Major Renovations

Trains

  • How have the trains themselves adapted?
  • What new features are there?

Cost

  • Methods of paying-how have these changed over time?
  • New stations/trains and renovations- how much and where from?

Conclusion


In this section, provide a summary or recap of your work, as well as potential areas of further inquiry (for yourself, future students, or other researchers).

References

Add a references section; consult the Help page for details about inserting citations in this page.

Attribution of Work

For milestones completed collaboratively, add a section here detailing the division of labor and work completed as part of this milestone. All collaborators may link to this single milestone article instead of creating duplicate pages. This section is not necessary for milestones completed by a single individual.

External Links

If appropriate, add an external links section

Image Gallery

If appropriate, add an image gallery

Category tags

Don't forget to add category tags!!! Your Milestone Pages MUST contain one "Project" Category tags like this:

[[Category:Art Projects]]
[[Category:Music Projects]]
[[Category:Philosophy & Religion Projects]]
[[Category:Drama & Theater Projects]]
[[Category:Writing & Rhetoric Projects]]
[[Category:History Projects]]
[[Category:English Projects]]

...and NO OTHER TAGS except for the year the project was completed by you, like this:

[[Category:2017]]

See the Category Help page for assistance. Don't include irrelevant category tags in your Milestone page (like the Template category!)

Delete this entire "Category section" when editing this page--Categories don't need a heading.
