Case Study assignment for Thursday is to research your project and architect. You should prepare a slide show and or links to their website with images to talk 5-10 minutes about: the author’s purpose, who it affects and why its important; comparison projects of the author / history; start to list the parametric operations they are doing; software if known; location of project; WHY the author used the parametrics they did. 2-3 paragraphs and or bullet points might help. We will take this project through weeks 3 but we want a strong start.
*If you want to change your Case Study topic you must let me know asap or Thursday at the latest.
Work on your writing assignments due next Thursday. Arch 523_W15_Writing Assignment 01 Please catch up on https://blogs.uoregon.edu/523w15/readings/.
