My drawings

Marc,
Sorry these are delayed I tried to upload 3 times on thursday but blogger kept crashing on me. In all the confusion before leaving I forgot to try again before I left.
Below you will find my analytical drawings.
Additionally I have photographed the models that I made for last week and will be bringing them with me this friday.
If there is anything else you think I should work on this week please let me know.
Thanks!
Andee

Update me

Hey everyone,

So I finally just now have internet access, grandma doesn't have it. This week has been pretty awful and busy. I haven't had the chance to work on anything since I left New York on Tuesday. Would someone give me a rundown of how things went in class today, what you all had, what we need for next week? Thanks.

Marc- I'll try and post what I get done as I do it. I'm returning to NYC tomorrow and hope to get alot done this weekend. I'll post stuff I've done as soon as I can.

Jessica- I had planned on picking an organization as my client, a non-profit, and also develop their office spaces in my program. It helps to have a real client and not make one up because you can better cater to their needs; I made one up last semester and it wasn't such a great thing. If you want to pick someone, pick a winery, organization, or entreprenuer to serve as your client. Or I guess you could always be your own client!

Kelly- would you email me or give me a call? We have much to discuss. Or if you'll be in studio on Sunday or Saturday night let me know and I'll come visit. Thanks!

Lindsey

response to Tiff and questions for the rest of you...

Tiff--
like Andee, not sure about that either.
I've been focusing on the site at another level that ties more directly to the wine making concept-more exploratory diagrams than the previous from last week. I guess that will come into programming if I get there by tomorrow. I also am trying to look at the material qualities of my site because I think they are interesting for my project and can tie my perf. technique together more---I am working my last Performative Technique in that I am trying to express a relationship in how my technique would engage the building. I was going to make a new technique this week, but I was looking for resin at Home Depot for an Eva Hesse-like exploration, and after searching high and low and asking every employee in sight walked out empty handed. Since it needs a few days to set up, I wont have another technique by tomorrow.
Honestly, I have so much to do in all of my classes that I'm freaked! So stressed I can't think and it's slowing me down...Marc, please be merciful tomorrow :)

P.S. did anyone other than Marc see my post about clients? Has anyone chosen one?

HI EVERYONE (AND SOMETHING FOR ANDEE)

how is everyone doing for tomorrow? i am working on the programmatic frame right now and a little unsure of what visual images to use to help convey my program.. i am thinking of creating some kind of diagram along with storyboard images, architectural, fashion, design images to create the whole of my program... anyway, if anyone is working on this now or has finished and has any suggestions let me know.

Also, andee i found this and thought it could be great for you http://kostasvoyatzis.wordpress.com/2007/07/14/rem-koolhaas-tadao-ando-in-fashion/

Question about the book---->Client???

Marc,
in the syllabus under ENACTING THE PROGRAM, it says "Profile of client and end user should be elaborated". Are you suggesting that we should pick a client specifically by name? Or are we speaking more to the 'type' of client and end user that our space would cater to?

I don't really see how I could pick a client for my Winery/Hotel/Spa/Restaurant concept--
I don't want to cheese it up by profiling somebody by name....

Class on April 25th

Marc, 

Just to confirm...we will not be having class Friday April 25th correct?

(that is why we changed the final pinup to next week, right?)

I am trying work out my schedule with another group project and wanted to make sure I can commit to that evening. 

thanks!

andee

I'll be out too

Marc,

I won't be able to be at class on Friday either, we had a death in the family and I am flying to Houston tomorrow. Not sure when the funeral will be but I'll likely be coming back on Saturday. I am sorry to miss this big pinup. I guess I will post everything to the blog like you told Andee too.

Lucky for everyone else, you'll have more time in class.
See you next week.
