Meeting

All,



I want to set up a time to meet at school. Lets all agree on a day:


Wed. 1/6 afternoon

Friday 1/8 afternoon

Saturday 1/9 Morning


We will discuss the blog posts - naming conventions, etc. and expectations of progress over the break. In the mean time, please post notes from the review and edit your statements.


I came across this quote:


“… in the differentiation of a spoon from spoon, spoon characterizes a form having two inseparable parts, the handle and the bowl. A spoon implies a specific design made of silver or wood, big or little, shallow or deep. Form is “what.” Design is “how”.” Louis Kahn


Last semester was discovery of “What” your projects are and presentation of data regarding a form they might take. This semester is primarily an analysis of choices; it’s now about “How” you Design your projects.


Let’s agree to produce at least a days worth of architectural information about how you derived your projects and where you see them one month from now. Make a minimum of 12 - 8.5x11 pages of hand sketches and notes. Include notes, program, site surveys, material sketches, project sketches, montages, etc. each page should have two drawings and very little white space left over. Post them on the blog as the conclusion of your Design 7 research.


As for me, this quote from Mies van der Rohe will guide me through the next semester:


“If teaching has any purpose, it is to implant true insight and responsibility. Education must lead us from irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgment. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order.”

Juror Grades

These are from one of the critics:
A Roosevelt island
A Malta
B+ Farmers Market (more work needed to push into A material)
B+ Culture Market (for quality of design-im not convinced of parti)
B Closter rehab (needs honing-central idea & program)
B- Freeport clinic (needs to believe in program, but can develop into stronger project)
C+ Hawaii - (not convinced of program-esoteric approach)

C+ Monroe community center (needs passion infusion)

Reminder:

The boards should be printed and mounted already. Please have them packaged and ready for me to pick up by 9am tomorrow morning. Any board not in the package will be left behind. Besides, you should be working on your presentation. I will have a few minutes in the morning before I leave so if you have questions be in the studio no later than 9am.
