002 [W2] LECTURE & TUT NOTES

STRATEGIES. . .


Week 2 lecture:
> Yasu based the lecture around the 4 themes mentioned in the previous post. This investigation of different strategies enables us to open our minds to new challenges, constantly reaching new heights of reason and productivity.

The following are a few key quotes recorded from the lecture slides:

…   "Vernacular buildings are adapted slowly by hands according to needs."
…   "but what if architecture is altered by machines?"
…   "and what if machines or spaces can be transported?"
…   "what if architects don't rely heavily on tangible materials to construct architectural entity?"
…   "what about users…"


Tutorial Activity:
> Formation of groups [4 people max] :
     - Hannah You            [http://dab810theplacetobe.blogspot.com/]
     - Katherine Aland       [http://place810design.blogspot.com/]
     - Katie Devitt             [http://dab810place.blogspot.com/]

Brainstorm session: The tutorial session consisted of brain-storming ideas/words in our newly formed groups which relate to each of the corresponding 4 themes.
The tutorial session was broken up into 4 parts with each theme leader having roughly 30 mins per room to discuss any thoughts or concerns with students.

The follow 4 posts will show the results of each theme section brainstorm. . .

> Homework:
     - Upload findings from tutorial to group
     - Continue researching/thinking about the 4 themes
