Meet in RC3030

Hi All,


A reminder that we will meet in room 3030 in the Red Centre for the rest of the semester.


(Room 3030 has officially been booked by the Masters in Urban Design program, so we may be asked to leave ... if so, we have space on level 5 and 6 in the Red Centre or in the studio next to the Design Workshop in the SquareHouse).


Cheers

Reflecting on the definitions described at dictionary.com below present your ARCHITECTURAL VISION for the competition in today's 5 minute presentation. Use the work you have done to date along with any other architectural, art, culture or science based precedents to support your presentation.

Group Expressions of Interest

Hi All,


Following the poor turnout to this weeks studio class, in consultation with those in attendance, I've revised the plan for the second half of the course.


You will all develop your competition schemes individually unless a strong argument is made for why group work is necessary. To express interest in working in a group you should flag your intention in the comments section below and outline a proposal within your own blogs. Your expression of interest should include a demonstration of the specific skills, methods, techniques or knowledge that each student brings to a competition proposal (use work that you have already produced in this course or any previous course).


To replace the scheduled submission for next week (see the course outline; week 8, April 23) you will all be presenting a detailed timetable for completion of the competition requirements.


Finally, many of the schemes that were not presented this week were very weak. The authors of them should understand that a significant amount of work/creativity will be required if they intend to pass the course. I will be expecting significant development over the next week.


Regards
