Has all received marks for EXP2?

I have emailed them on Tuesday morning to each of your student or zmails. If you have not received them please let me know as the feedback as crtical for your improvement on exp3.

Also, if you havent installed Curviloft into your sketchup at the moment and would like to get more functionality to do free forms, have a go at it....sooner rather than later. I have already done a demonstration with this tool during experiment 1.

Crunch time for EXP 3

Hi all, i cannot stress how critical it is for you all to have week 1 and 2 tasks plus the independent study completed by the end of next week in order to proceed. You all essentially have three more weeks to deliver a scheme comparable to the ones shown in the lectures and tutorial. Half of you have made no attempt to model a landscape in crysis last week, and as a result missed out on receiving bridging opportunities to think about for this week.



By next week be prepared to have everything blogged in order to join everything together and get advice to shoot you off to your next step. These include:


1) 36 one(18) and two(18) point perspectives with power related keywords associated with each one.

2) Mashup demonstrating a synthesis of the ideas behind three articles, reinterpreting a relationship based on power - this would form the concept for your next step

3) Landscape modelled qualitatively in Crysis, also in it demonstrating a preliminary testing of an elevator.

4) A first concept draft of your final scheme placed in the crysis environment, based on a set of H shaped models from two or more keywords. The selection of these prisms/keyword  should be inspired by the ideas in your mashup. In a way, think of this exercise as another mashup of different models and keywords that relate to your interpretation of the articles.




The last point will be crucial and throughout the week I will upload a few examples in drawing(out) from blocks and abstract shapes once enough people have made an attempt on them. Regardless, we only have two more classes left so don't waste the opportunity to receive crucial feedback by leaving the task unfinished and unblogged.
