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

Commenting

All,
Now that all the posts with the intensive summary are up, please start commenting on each other's work. This is not limited to your affinity groups.

Please also change your blog settings to allow anyone to comment on it (not google users only). I am going to invite others architects and teachers to comment on your work.

Keep cranking!

Enno, how do I change the blog settings to allow other users to view my blog??

Can we invite other architects also? I would ask Eric (the guest critic) to comment if that is ok with you.

Stacey: go to settings, then to the comment tab and change to "anyone". Please feel free to invite anyone who you think will add to this discussion. Eric would be an excellent choice.
