Tasks:

In the absence of a site, program, and scale, and based on one of your prescribed readings or the theme on the semester, explore questions raised or you have. What if questions are a good start… and once you have a question, on the 6 papers given draw 6 possibilities of representing that question in 2D line drawing(15min task)

Next, using cardboard, build a memory box the size of a shoe box (210x297x105mm), leave one side open (big side)- 10 min

Based on your 6 drawings, build a new drawing through cutting, folding, bending layering on the open side of your box- 30 min

Next, working with a partner, build another memory box the same size as the first. On this box through the process of…. Listening and interpretation… Follow instructions by workshop convenor… (30min)

In the photo studio, project a series of images that come to mind when you think about the theme of the semester on your collective memory boxes and photograph these projections (after class). Print one of these on A3 and bring to our next workshop.

Outcome:

3 x Spatial Triggers/ Memory Boxes, professionally photographed memory boxes with projects

• Image making (street elevation photo montage, street perspectives diagrams illustrating the character of the street, comfort, identity of street, public art, textures of street five 1:10 Site Details

• CAD/Hand-drawn drawings of the existing site details and building details. Site details can be but are not limited to edge details, NGL to skin details, street furniture details, roof to skin details, shading, etc.

-Each group member must draw a detail.

-Site Report- A4 Document
