INFORMAL URBAN PRACTICE
1. articulate your aspirations for the studio and propose a means for self-assessment
Student name: NICK REBSTADT What do you aspire to learn through the studio? Clearly propose the most important 6 or more aspects of learning and achievement (in few words) that you aspire to measure your work against.
What is likely to indicate different levels of your performance and achievement against each criteria? Describe in detail the indicators (evidence) of quality at the level of performance that you aspire to achieve. In less detail, describe what will indicate if you have achieved above or below your aspired level.
CRITERIA
ʻSATISFACTORYʼ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Minimal evidence of Installation work
ʻGOODʼ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Well-crafted and thoughtthrough installation work
1
Installation Work
2
Development of Infrastructure and/or Communication skills in order to develop/execute project/proposal
Dodgy, unclear and minimal application of technical skill
Showing documentation of/solid and clear technical/communication skills
3
Relevant Theoretical Research
Vague, minimal understanding of theory associated with project
Good theoretical understanding, evidence of research and thought.
4
Evidence of engaging with the public in public space
Minimal evidence of public interaction, little/no evidence of installation
Solid evidence of interaction/good documentation
5
Applications of Informal Urban Practices into project
Minimal and ill-thought through applications of Informal Urbanism
Applications are solid and evident in project
ʻVERY GOODʼ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Well-crafted and thoughtthrough installation work, beginning to be integrated into the project Clear & successful design/execution of technical & communication design, relevant to the project Successful and relevant Theoretical research. Conclusions and documentation developed.
Solid documentation. Beginning to show evidence of interpretation of collected documentation. Well thought through, relevant applications, sensitive to the development of the project.
ʻOUTSTANDINGʼ PERFORMANCE INDICATORS Well-crafted, site-specific installation work has been executed seamlessly into the project Well crafted application of technical design skills integrated seamlessly into the project Theoretical research that aids/is relevant to expanding the scope of understanding the project. Sophisticated theoretical conclusion has been developed and shown. Ample documentation of project execution in public space showing interpretations/conclusions of collected evidence Well-informed understanding and sophisticated execution of Informal Urban Practices into project (where relevant)
6
Application/Research of Social Theories
Vague, minimal application of social theories, indifferent to the development of the project
Understanding of social theories and practice in project/research
Successful application/understanding of social theories involved in project/research
7
Cross-disciplinary Design
Minimal evidence of engagement/willingness to engage in cross disciplinary work
Beginnings of integration of spatial and objectbased design work
8
Resolution of project
Vague and minimal project resolution
Project flows well and logically, most criteria has been integrated
Integration of both Industrial Design and Interior Design practices to project. Relevant skills are evident in project Above criteria unified into solid project, beginnings of conclusion has been reached
Advanced integration of/understanding of social theories into project. Conclusion has been reached Advanced and developed integration of both object and spatial design into the project, and knowledge of the impact of this All of the above criteria integrated successfully into the resolution of the project. A clear and developed “conclusion� reached.

Mid-semester self-assessment
Student name: NICK REBSTADT Import the above criteria
CRITERIA
What indicates the current levels of your performance and achievement in the studio against each criteria? Describe in detail the indicators (evidence) of quality at the level of performance you honestly believe you have achieved so far.
