SCHEDULE

During these last weeks, students need to pinup their drawings for desk crits. Showing the building more comprehensively in context is important for revealing areas requiring attention.  If a particular area or task has been repeatedly identified, it means that it is a crucial aspect that must be addressed in order to pass the course.

Those students who are absent for their scheduled desk crit will be marked absent and will have to wait for the next scheduled time.

Friday 5/13:

• 1:00-2:30 pm:  Interior pinup:  Daylighting model, tonal renderings showing lighting and reflected ceiling plan
• 2:30-5:00 pm:  Individual desk crits

Friday 5/20:

• 1:00-2:30 pm: Landscape and Time pinup, guest Rui Jin
