Notes for Ahmed

-what is your process/technique? what drives our project?
-relationship of building to landscape
-why is there this extreme split?
-your spli is tradition-splitting program
-think about distribution in term of Smithson's displacements
-Think about how you move between those relationships to your landscape
-parking is interesting
-nice quotes, talk about certain ideas
-how does the religious and research mix?
-you've stopped challenging those issues
see something ambitious to build rather than traditional
-architecture elements that cant easily be named
-forget about acropolis
-structure of water is good
-you have to erase what you know
-a process of discovering
-set up entry so beautifully
-museum of a book
-you have to struggle with the issue
-just the adjacency of the 2 is not enough
1-issue: how you're addressing site
2:program
-personal+ implementation
-you can channel program through material practice
-think landscape strategies that become spatial
-how can you dwell within the site
-Cut into the land
-Think of synesthesia: walls sweating because of water.
