Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:06:45 +0000

Magnus forwarded me this link to his profile on BLDGBLOG for his prize-winning work in Dip16 last year. However, in my daily evening browse of blogs I found THIS post about Magnus on Kottke.org.

So Magnus, where will your Dip9 work be profiled, I ask? Gotta up the ante now...

excuse the images!! these parts describe two scenarios - different results for merging different types of anchored fragments. No notation here.The plate is turning out to be a landscape of many scenarios at the same time- then another action occurs on the result of a scenario. There isn't just one scenario but multiple.So..just chock-a-block of fragments. Ahhh..

Tuesday 25th November Schedule

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:20:39 +0000

Tuesday Schedule is: morning with tutorial, at 2.00 we have the TS for 5^th year, after that more tutorial

Jury is on the 9th of December, we need:

1_ manifesto

2_ formal manifesto

3_ 4 plates. The plates are complex drawings, collages... they can be models as well. It takes time to do even only 1 drawing, let's have one plate on Tuesday and the plan for the other 3.

4_ models. All the models you did until now. Even the ugly one? yes

5_ the model. A model that is not only the exercise (for example: Rebecca’ surface, Tarek’s surface, Fionnuala’s fragment, Magnus’s corner...). It has to be a model that shows a scenario, a model that show not the technique you are using but the scenario it creates.

6_whitebook

7_brief: program and site. This 7th point is not the same for each of you. For some it is more a priority, for other it is not. Some allready decided on site like Amandine, or on the program like Matthias... Think about it for Tuesday.

8_you will bring the Re-brief plates. We will decided if you will talk a little about it, but you will need to bring them (so they need to be done, and for most of you they are).

WIP - Some work in progress from the last few tutorial

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:12:42 +0000

The images show some work in progress from the students: Amandine's first container, two of Magnus's corners, Marco's recipient, Rebecca's discontinuos surface and Tarek's intricacy of circle. More to come.

The sabotage in the unit...

Fri, 31 Oct 2008 21:05:40 +0000

... and the use of This is a really good idea (especially when the idea is not good) is taking over...

Out of format

Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:22:18 +0000

For the jury, the goal was to have 5 plates 45cm*45cm. We had some students with the right amount/size and some (more) out of format. It seems that the plates will soon magically fold into the 5 plates required (more to come).
