Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to research and photographically document major construction projects occurring on the Southern Illinois University Carbondale campus from 2000-2010. I will also illustrate these transformations in the form of architectural floor plans and site plans. Additionally, I will research existing photographs of chosen projects prior to construction and then recreate these images showing yet another transitional relationship. Finally, I will create photographic documents of the finished projects in a manner appropriate to the discipline of architectural photography.
