Post your response to Forty, Foucault or Salvadori here.

Discussion 02: "Type"

Please participate by Friday, September 4.

Participation in the reading discussions is mandatory.

Format Specs

I have uploaded the most recent project statment, including the following format specification:

Each theme will last two weeks and result in a concise, complete schematic proposal,represented within a specified format: 12”x18” diagrams / analysis / process [concept]; 12”x18” building section @ 1/8“ = 1’-0” or larger [detail structure, materials]; 12”x18” site plan, site axon or rendering [whole project, exterior]; study model(s). Each proposal will be evaluated and synthesized, privileged or abandoned. The result will be developed and refined for the final review.

Stadium Field Trip

We will walk together from studio to the stadium for the site visit at about 2:45p tomorrow. We will be in studio starting at 1:00p as usual.

You must wear closed-toe shoes to participate and sign the hold-harmless form I will provide at the beginning of class.

Remember to bring your camera and sketchbooks for the visit.

Project Reference List

I have created a page on the CoA website to serve as our project reference list. You all should be able to edit the page after logging into the website. Please pay attention to the example I have done for "Modena Cemetery."

Please add any information from your initial research as soon as possible and continue to update the list as the semester progresses.
