Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.
Paul Valery

As artists, the one true inquiry of art as a pure subject is an inquiry of our potential to know the world around us and our actively being in it, with a particular emphasis on the aesthetic. This world is not just somehow given to us whole. We perceive, we shape the world, and as artists we discover and give value to our human potential to "see" the infinite richness (beauty?) in everything, creating an extended aesthetic reality.
Robert Irwin

The entire secret of designing is the conscious insertion of a building into the community of what exists.
Heinz Wetzel

Intensive Week overview

All,

Please follow the "overview" link to the right to get some idea about what will wait for you in about week. The tasks are probably more prescriptive than they really need to be - there is always room to improvise -, but the focus of the intensive phase will be to come up with a conceptual design and an enticing project narrative.

I am looking forward to see your first drawings and observations. There already some postings and comments on the readings. Please check them out and get the comments going.
