Portfolio comments available by appointment week of January 16

Portfolio comments available by appointment week of January 16 or
will be with me first day of class if requested. See class schedule to find where I will be this first week.

Please note: if you did not complete a model or follow the sample portfolios,
your grade was effected.

Also if you presented drawings in your portfolio which were not coordinated, and/ or
I could not read because they were too small, or they were scaled and misrepresented the work because of it,
your grade was effected. No one left me notes that they were having trouble with assembling the portfolio or the work therefore no excuses are accepted at this time.

Thank you and I hope you look forward to continuing your education.

Grades

Professor when will the grades be up?

Micheal and Rebekka

Can you contact me via email amoiaarch@aol.com;
I am missing some of your portfolio and would request a pdf or jpeg copy emailed to me in the interm;
Tuesday the latest.

diagrams (scott)

Scott and everyone should think about:
clarifying the meaning of the diagrams and this can be by adding some transparent colors and titles.
diagram 1.3 volumes- related to thesis
2. structure overlap in center, one hangs, one buried
3.  circulation intent
4. circulation and volume together

include site an monument in diagrams because that is what makes this project its place

in general

I will be in school at 2 Friday. I saw some of you yesterday which was nice.
I did not get a chance to walk back at 5 but I did at 6 after the review and missed any of you that may have been around.

I think one of you said your model is missing from the room; go to the office to report this and document it in an email to me. Never leave anything important that you do not have a copy of in any room that is not your own property. Also take a photo of a drawing or model after you complete it because things happen as we saw earlier in the semester. Also have a backup of all digital work because a computer can die at any time.

sample portfolio thinking

A few comments: the previous post of the portfolio rules;

as Anthony indicated in class is about organization, also you can see

the background grey or black can have meaning and relate to for example organizing photos.

You should treat the process of making a portfolio like a design problem:

A. sketch through the pages before production

B. start with basic info: site plan, a paragraph or two about the project and make the text read as blocks of information.

Below is a sketch which ask questions of the following sheet. It asks 

1. where is the site plan, and limit number of photos especially if they do not become montages with your work in them later.

2. sk refers to the sketches, so relate the first one to the site plan, space out the rest so it reads as individual plan making proposals.

3. add that intro text

4. use the black zone to say this is the given info, i know this person said theywant to do L of black but that is not meaning yet other then i want to....

remember you can go outside of the 9 rectangle when you start grouping  in rows and columns like the yellow and blue color coding of the portfolio rules in indicating.
Enjoy the process, it will take time.
