Section Two: Briefly discuss the principles of architecture as art (form, balance, perspective). How do these principles relate to your chosen fortified palace?

Section Three: As an artist, during this period of time, you must consider the formal qualities in architecture, such as shape, mass, scale, texture, color, etc. Discuss the formal and technical qualities of architecture and how it relates to your chosen palace.
