A couple more thoughts about Shared Stories

I still not entirely convinced that the hotel is the right answer over the apartment house. I think that pushing the encounters between the different activities would make the apartment program less "habitiual."

In casual discussion this morning with another professor, the question was brought up, "Which program do you actually dwell in?" I think that's something else to think about, particularly in pushing the connections between the programs.

One more thing that I've been thinking about for the past two weeks or so, but didn't want to throw in right before the midterm, has to do with the extent of enclosure with the nightclub. In the subwaym, frequently, eventhough it is "inside" the weather is still experienced in some ways, whether it gets cold, like carrol street on the g train, or rain water drips down from grates or cracks in the walls and ceiling. Maybe in the nightclub, (or possibly in the apartments also) there are places where for example water drips down a wall when it rains. I've also been watching a lot of Tarkovsky lately, so that might have something to do with this thinking, admittedly.

i think you were starting to answer the hotel question well...in the durational frames you desire...
do you think you could make interior drawings that get to some of these (tarkovsky or your own photos) qualities...

i think most of the drawings i should do for the rest of the semester should be story boards

yes...in conjunction with the full scale piece?
