You are to write a 6000 word (minimum) paper on an Architect (Eric Owen Moss). The paper must be written in Chicago Style 16 which includes footnotes and a bibliography. While meeting all standards for research and citations, this paper requires innovative thinking and creative writing.
Format
Use Arial font, 12 point, double-spaced, with 1” on all margins.
Citation Style
Use Chicago Style 16 footnotes and a bibliography. The footnotes and bibliography do not count toward the 6000 word count. More information on Chicago Style 16 can be accessed at The Chicago Style Manual through Purdue OWL and at Fairfield University.
Sources
You are required to use at least 10 sources total for the 6000 word paper. Information for this paper should come from a variety of sources. You are encouraged to use books, videos, interviews, documentaries and academically recognized scholarly web sources in order to develop your own “big idea” that will clearly articulate an organized set of ideas about the architect you have chosen. Web sources may be used, but must not exceed 10% of total sources. Online journals and publications that are accessed through the UF Libraries Databases will not be considered part of this 10% rule. Do not use Wikipedia as a source as it is unverifiable and can be edited at any time. To begin your search for scholarly sources, please visit the AFA Library page. Also, consult “Key Databases and Resources”.
Here is the basic format for a footnote citation from the Purdue OWL:
1. Firstname Lastname, Title of Book (Place of publication: Publisher, Year of publication), page number.
For example: (from Fairfield University)
1. Barbie Zelizer, Remembering to Forget: Holocaust Memory through the Camera’s Eye (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003), 7.

Word Count: not including footnotes cover page or bibliography
Bibliography
Please include a Bibliography for your sources. Note that the Bibliography format is slightly different from the footnote format, as it is alphabetized by last name. Here is the basic format from the Purdue OWL:
Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Place of publication: Publisher, Year of
publication.
For example: (from Fairfield University)
Zelizer, Barbie. Remembering to Forget: Holocaust Memory through
the Camera’s Eye. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003.
Images
Images are not required. You may use images that enhance or illustrate an idea, but remember – the word count still needs to equal 6000 words regardless of the page count. If you use images to strengthen your content, always give proper credit. Online sources for images are acceptable and will not count toward the 10% rule. Provide credit for the images you used in a caption under the image or at the end of the paper after the Bibliography in this format. Do not include these sources in your Bibliography – use a separate page.
