Dear All:

Marc and I thought it would be a good idea to restate the goals for Monday.

The task was to develop the project in its "totality" in two weeks as if it was three months. This is how Marc described the task if you paid attention.

Yes, given the short time, not all aspects of the project could be fully developed but all aspects or parts of the final project must be present and addressed in short preliminary way.

That is:
1. all students must have a specific site/location for their project-
not " somewhere on this site". Such a statement is not acceptable

2. all students must have a PROGRAM described both in qualitative and
quantitative terms and detailed information should be on the wall not in your heads.

3. all students are expected to have developed, however preliminarily, a schematic strategy
in a site plan, as well as a building plan and section-
All these might be modified later, but they must be present on the wall as part of the
"whole" preliminary design exercise.

4. all students must have the statement of the "theoretical frame work "
concept (the precis) must be on the wall and handed out to critics (make 6 copies)
This concept must contain the role Synaesthesia plays in your design

5. This last point is critical in the selection of a moment (s) in your project to
be conceived now that would become their full scale installation
demonstrating Synaesthesia



We are stating this again to make sure that all of you understand what is expected. Each of you must have thought about and drawn a bit of each aspect/element/part for a complete preliminary design
ALL five items must be present on the wall on Monday.
