Dear all,
ReplyDeleteI will give you until tomorrow at 9 am to improve your work!
• Please do not post only images. Images should be interpreted; they should express what you are saying with your words.
• I need to see diagrams with shadows during different times of the day. I need to know the temperatures in the site during different times of the day and of the year.
• I need to see the movement and direction of the predominant winds and I need to know the humidity of the air during the different times of the year, I need to know the difference in the water levels of the reservoir.
• I need to know who are the people using your areas of analysis and what do they like to do. I need to know where they live, work… and where are the places they go within the site.
• Following this, I need to know how people move… how they go from one place to the other. For this you need to identify the key places where people go to and the ways they move to get there. All this info. Should be represented in diagrams.
• I need to know what are the materials used on the site and how is the topography.
• I need sections!!!! I need to know the heights of the trees and the building in relation to the topography of the site.
I need sketch of the site with information on them, not photos!!!
I will give you until tomorrow morning at 9 am to post that…
Good luck!
I am sure you can make it!!!

Dear all,
ReplyDeleteI have decided to give a common critic to your work because I see common things to be improved!
I am going to email ALL of you files that will help you to address most of the issues presented here, namely how to analyse shadows, how to use sketch to catch ambiences and the character of places, how to make diagrams and interpret drawing and much more.
I am expecting to see your work improved on the 19th’s pin up. I don’t want to see only these drawings on the wall!
• Please do not post only images. Images should be interpreted; they should express what you are saying with your words.
• I need to see diagrams with shadows during different times of the day. I need to know the temperatures in the site during different times of the day and of the year. (make a graphic rather than tell me the numbers)
• I need to see the movement and direction of the predominant winds and I need to know the humidity of the air during the different times of the year, I need to know the difference in the water levels of the reservoir.
• I need to know who are the people using your areas of analysis and what do they like to do. I need to know where they live, work and where are the places they go to within the site. You need to interview them.
• Following this, I need to know how people move… how they go from one place to the other. For this you need to identify the key places where people go to and the ways they move to get there. All this info. should be represented in diagrams. Normally you use a black and white map and you represent in colour the different information you want to express. You can use layers of information to make such analysis. Look at the files in your e-mail.
• I need to know what are the materials used on the site and how is the topography. Not only leaves… I need to know what are things made of.
• I need sections!!!! I need to know the heights of the trees and the building in relation to the topography of the site. You can use sections to represent the shadows of things. See the file in your e-mail.
I need sketch of the site with information on them not photos!!!
Don’t forget that after posting your activity 1 you have to see all other posts and comment on them. Comments are supposed to add information or to help your colleagues to improve their work. Comments can also consist in a reflection of what you can improve regarding you own work.
Try to be critical but constructively. The critic should be posted in a way that people can learn and improve with it!!!
I will be reading your comments!!!
Dear all,
ReplyDeletePlease post your activity 2!!!!!
Please read you e-mails and see the attachments I have send you!!!! Besides that use the information to improve your work!!!
Please have a look at the comments Yah Li made to some of the groups. They are relevant to ALL of you.
Please remember that you are going to be evaluated for your contribution as a group to the blog. You are going to be evaluated by your input in commenting each other’s work. Please realise that this assignment has a component focused on peer teaching.
Please remember that on Monday all the work should be pin-up in a sequence of A3 pages.
Please start doing that as soon as you arrive in the classroom.
Work well and have a nice weekend!
