Welcome Back

We have 3 weeks of class left in Montréal. The final MTL review is on 27 July.
When you talk about your work for this class you do not, most often, talk about the things we talk about nor do you seem to put observations, facts, discoveries, and "hunches" together in a logical and persuasive way. Would you rather listen to a list of problems and how they were solved or would you rather listen to a story about a place? You seem to have problems in all three phases of Aristotle's "De Rhetorica"- Discovery, Composition, and Style. Discovery requires a disciplined curiosity. Composition requires disciplined editing, and Style requires a disciplined projection. Discipline includes professional habit and custom, focus, thoroughness, and iterative considerations. We'll help if you'll engage the matter.
Monday 6 July 14h00 : Have all of your drawings pinned up and models displayed somewhere in the building hallways (1st, 3rd, and 5th) or in the studio. Have the site observation drawings, the three final models, the isos and planimetrics of the models, the new paper models, written out current project statements, and a catalog with your work.
If you expect to see any of your work done before the first assessment "reviewed" then post a sheet of paper to the left of your work that says what should be looked at in that regard for today. If your material is not complete, pinned up, and ready at 14h00 then we won't be talking about your work this week.
In class today we're going to take time to have people present their statements. Then we'll have a talk about these presentations and the project in general, then we'll present a new exercise.
