The precedent acts as a basis in developing designs with substance and meaning and is a fundamental practice in architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design. Delving into the history of Vaux-le-Vicomte, often referred to as Vaux, provided three relevant aspects which compose the historic precedent for this MFA project. First, the creative initiative …

Edith M. Richardson: Woman Of Mystery And Her Subjects, Adam J. Barnes
Museum Studies Projects
This paper and corresponding exhibit fulfill the final requirement for a M.A. in Museum Studies. They are both titled Edith M.

In this paper I will write about my search for Richardson and her subjects as well as implementing the exhibit.
