Class this week - Part II begins!
Hello All,
Thank you for a strong push towards our mid review. We're quite excited for you to put your efforts towards Part II of the class.
UPDATE YOUR GRAPHIC INDEX, BY CLASSTIME.
We ask, as a final step to close out the case studies, that you complete the evaluation of your precedent using the latest version of the graphic index (3 circles and the building parti). Please ask us tomorrow if you have any questions or concerns about filling it out.
SUBMIT PART 1 PACKAGE VIA EMAIL, BY THURSDAY.
If you have not done so, please 'Package' your InDesign files, zip them, include a PDF and transmit each case study as a single email to Lauren and myself. We will not rely on Dropbox for this because it will take up too much space on everyone's account. We need all of your working files if any adjustments need to be made after the course is complete to make the booklet read clearly.
TOMORROW'S CLASS FORMAT.
Tomorrow, we begin Part II with paired desk crits. Each student will present their initial work for the visual polemic to Lauren, myself, and a classmate. We will strategize your work together and the rest of the class will be a work session! Bring what you need to be productive!
We can't wait to see these ideas and technologies find their way into your own design work!

(Snowy) Spring Break - Go Wild.
Hi Class,
Hope you're out of town enjoying the break - or hunkering down to relax while occasionally catching up on the semester. You should have all received your mid-semester evaluation by now. These were written before our desk-crits for Topic 4.
We're all set for our review on the 27th with the editor. Lauren and I are relying on you to orchestrate revisions/additions/printing of all case studies within the template with your partner, and that you will also develop a response statement to (2) of the (3) prompts given out in last weeks assignment sheet. Be bold and eloquent.
Once you solo-post your drafts as this week's blog post exercise, we'll be able to give you feedback before the review. Give yourself a solid 30 minutes for each and fire it out there for us to chat about as soon as possible.
We'll be following up with a synthesis of the conversations we've had as a class around the 'graphic criteria' component on the first page of the case studies - there may be a revision to that component of the template in the next few days.
Cheers, Kyle

Blog Exercise 5: The Architectural Detail
Hi all,
Please respond to the following prompt via the comments section by Sunday at 8 pm as soon as possible.
BLOG EXERCISE 5
Ed Ford, in the introduction to The Architectural
Detail, lays out five ways of thinking about a detail and offers his opinion
about how architects should approach the work of detailing. Choose one of the precedents you have
studied thus far and think about what the detail you drew expresses relative to
the overall project concept. Which
of Ford’s categories would it fit into?
