Hello all!
The Holl text is really only a teaser for your time in Boston: the book will be on reserve as will the other publications that were the source of the readings. It addresses the "phenomenological context" of the sense of sight. It will be worthwhile to browse through these books, as they might inform how you will frame your projects.
The emphasis is on the Jan Birksted text, which not only is thoughtful analysis of a building which is in close dialog with its setting, but also gives some theories on the sense of sight from a phenomenological standpoint.
Please read the text before you come to Boston, since there will one other reading assigment that week. Postings in regards to the readings are not required, but they do count for the required blogging activity. The last week has been by nature pretty slow in this regard - with some notable exceptions - but now you all should get into the blogging habit this week.
As you can see in the syllabus, we will sketch on site and in the studio: please bring adequate supplies. The specifics -paper, pens, pencils, etc - are up to you. If you have a preference for model building, you may bring supplies as well, but model building will not be required during the intensive phase. The emphasis is on sketching by hand, diagramming, writing and 3D modeling.
