The title of the Journal is “Progressive architecture”.” The article within the Journal is called “Bussel, A. (1995). Don’t kill the NEA. Progressive Architecture, 76(8), 9.” The abstract of this article discussed how dismantling the National Endowment for the Arts would put a huge halt to modestly funded design programs. This is because the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) is the only national advocate for the art and design community. The article states that if people want to have a voice in decisions affecting the environment in relationship to architecture, there will be a strong need for more federal backing/money. The author questions how to get more federal backing, and explores options to make the art and design community flourish more. The author continues to explain the reasons why art and design is important/crucial in our rapidly developing world. To gather data for this article, you would need expert knowledge because the information is not common knowledge. You would need to do quantitative analysis because the data is numeric.  This research is very persuasive. It has a clear goal to gain more funding from the federal government and is backed up with quotes and good data. I think that my classmates and other readers might find the quotes within the article, regarding how important design programs are to the word as a whole, to be interesting.
