Prep for Session 2

Yin Lih, post map of your site asap. I need to check it against the ones I have.
Guys,
  • label your models between 12oo and 1300 today,
  • take good pics and
  • do a stunning A1 sheet for 26 Feb.
  • I am still very keen to know (visually) what it was in Mark I that you felt you had to retain in Mark II, why the thing(s) that you are carrying over to Mark II is(are) so important to your artist-client even as he grows old.
  • And, of course, have focussed illustrations of the design decisions you have taken to make the house very user-friendly for the aged.
  • And clear indications of how you have made the house fit cleverly into the chosen site so that he can get the maximum benefit from that site.
  • let your A1 sheet tell the whole story
  • stress the main points and play down the minor points
  • more visuals, less words.
  • make it different

Remember, pin up with all your models (I & II and study) on a desk in front of your drawing BY 1230 SHARP on Mon 26 Feb. Presentation starts @1245. I will be grading you 20 guys alone. 15 minutes each. You present for 3-5 minutes and I grill you the rest of the time. (Remember the 3-minute practice I gave you and the advice.)
