cd's to be handed in in
my pigeonhole
by thursday 1 nov

final handin 4 of udf


is on monday 22 october at 10.30
page 2 of handout 08 -- 23.7.12 states:

hand in 4                complete document udf                                     22 october
- final document and final drawings
the final document has to be handed in as
-        a hard copy, a4 landscape, bound
-        a digital copy as pdf, preferably on dvd as a class submission

the digital submission has caused problems in the past, perhaps it might be easier to individually burn a disc and submit with hard copy.

the projects that have received red + orange lights have to pull extra hard to get them to an acceptable academic standard.  i implore you to go through handout 08 and critically scrutinise your project and ask if it meets the project outcomes + criteria.  some of the projects i saw on thursday still need several layers to stitch the project together to form a coherent narrative, and some remain a cause for concern.  ask yourself if your project clearly articulates the 3 scales: 
  1. city
  2. neighbourhood and 
  3. precinct area, does it tell a singular story that is easily understood + does the project employ an appropriate urban design discourse?


i will not accept work that is handed in after 11.13 am, when i leave the fada building.

goodluck
