Intensive summary postings

All,

Looking at your postings I noticed that some of them are hard to figure out in terms of what the central idea is. The ones that start with the "executive summary" work best.

Imagine someone who is not familiar with your project spending two minutes with your blog and still get the key ideas. What would it take to get there? A. limit the amount of images to 3-5. B. State your theme in the title C. start with the "money" shot and a short paragraph elaborating on the theme. Don't ramble on - be concise in all annotations C1. Address how you translate your theme into architecture - diagrams, short narrative, list, etc D. annotated site-plan, site- observation photos and diagrams(manipulated only-photos merely showing the existing condition does not count)E. some of the images will need to be composed of different components F. include diagrams G. clearly address how you articulate the boundary between the city and the digital store and what the nature/meaning of that relationship is.

Not only will this help you to communicate your ideas, but it also brings you closer to what the requirements are for the final presentation and even helps you to develop your theme and design. Don't be afraid of a tight structure for the presentation: on the contrary, it will greatly help you. The more organized and tight the presentation will be, the better will your ideas and design come to the forefront.

I suggest to do the following: After you complete the model building task you present the model photos (in context!) as part of the above executive summary. Take the other elements from the recent posting.
Do not "post" the exec. sum. as a post, but include it as a permanent item at the top of the right blog column. This way it's always on top and you can permanently update it. Support information (other images, texts that do not belong in the summary) will be posted conventionally and can be commented on.

By the end of this coming Monday, please add this item to your blog.
