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.
