Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! Enjoy the break and get some rest. First meeting in the new term will be on Tuesday 12.01.2010, further details to be announced (keep an eye on the blog).
We are meeting at 11.30am in the Unit Space. In the morning we will show you some Illustrator tools and give some tipps in using the programme. If you already work with this software and have some particular questions it would be good if you could prepare a list. After this we will go through your doings and give advice.
Unit Meeting at 12pm in the Unit Space. Please be on time.
We will be discussing the following (order subject to change):
1) Jury Feedback: Thank you for your presentations on Tuesday. You got some really good comments and advice which you should consider when continuing your projects.
- In some cases, the Indian Diary which should act as an intro to your project/chosen subject/ field of interest was missing (don’t take for granted that people know what you are talking about, not everyone has been to India and knows what it is like).
- We also felt that there is some layouting needed. Try to avoid sheets loaded with images only. Experiments should be documented and accompanied by drawings and statistics. Research information can be made clearer and should be used to inform your doings (even if it is just a side fact). Don’t be afraid to mix media, use model pictures as part of a drawing, photographs/maps as background in a model etc.
2) Dossier Submission on 18|12|2009: By now you should have already started working on your dossiers, booklets, diaries, formatted/compacted sheets (however you want to call it). As you know this should include your whole first term’s work – Brief 01, Indian Diary / Trip Documentation and Brief 02 (as discussed before this can be further divided into sub-chapters). Think about how to incorporate samples, experiments and models (physically and/or documanted). Please bring all your work for discussion.
3) Portfolio View: Alma will join us for a while and kindly present her last year’s portfolio.
The exhibition Neo Concrete Experience will open on Thursday at the Brazilian Embassy in London. Opening: 6-8pm
The exhibition will continue until 30th January 2010.
End-of-Term presentations starting at 9.30am in Open Room 6 (former Studio 2). Please be on time and prepared to pin-up immediately. Everyone must be present all day.
Good luck!

Sir Peter Cook from the seminal 60’s architectural group Archigram will give a lecture tonight at the AA. The Lecture “Ten Themes – Ten Sounds” will be a fantastic opportunity to see the work of Peter Cook in a new light. The lecture starts at 6:00, location: AA lecture hall. The lecture will be hosted by Ricardo de Ostos (NaJa-deOstos and AA Inter 3).
