Reading Discussion & Workshop 4c Arch 200c 2013 Fall
Course	Arch 200c
Date	2013/11/05
Learning Objectives	Our third discussion of class readings is split between an unpacking of the historic and contemporary uses of perspectival images in architecture, and an account of the ways in which the relationship between design and representation is transformed by advanced manufacturing techniques. Following this discussion, we will move into a workshop on the production of composite drawings using a combination of rendered image and vector linework.

Third Discussion of Readings

To help us contextualize what we have been learning in Topic(s) Four, today we will split into three groups and spend about 40mins discussing the following readings. Each student should choose two out of the following list of readings and come to class prepared with questions and thoughts on how these texts can put the lectures, workshops, and studio work of this semester into a larger cultural and disciplinary context.

If your name appears in bold below, you've got some extra responsibilities for this class. By Sunday Nov 3 at midnight, please upload to the class BOX a short summary (about one page) of your chosen reading and two questions that may help to start a class discussion. Your summary should be written as to explain the most important points of the text to those who have not read it, and your questions should seek to tie the text to some aspect of your experience as a student of architecture. Name your Word DOCX as "YOUR_LASTNAME.docx" and upload it to "Arch 200ac Commons/200c Student Summaries of Readings/R3" by midnight, and come prepared to present it to the class.

Although those highlighted below will carry the burden 0f preparing formal summaries and questions, we expect everyone to participate in this conversation. Please don't wait to be called upon - your instructors are here to facilitate, but the discussion should be largely student-led.

The following readings may be found on the class BOX under "Arch 200ac Uncommons/Readings/200c R3".

Workshop 4c

Today will be our last workshop on rendering for post processing. We will use the same Villa Savoye workflow and look specifically at Rhino Render, which is much quicker and simpler if you are just looking to get shadows for site plans or more graphic interior renderings.

Capstone Project Presentations

Today Rudy and Kirsten will present us with their plans for the capstone project options.
