your progress
Charlotte,
Thanks for your edits. Your project is becoming much more clear. A few additional comments:

Elevator: your masters project is a project, not an exploration of a project. A simple re-wording could strengthen you statement. Something like “the project will illustrate how built form and program can embody changing paradigms…”

Case: “Typical systems of education in the United States are based on standardized testing and outdated modes of teaching. These systems are stifling students creativity….”

Goals! Similar to the elevator comments. These are goals of your project, not your goals as a designer. Simply delete “to develop” in your first ore. Second are could be: the school will encourage interaction…”

Principles: perfect!
Process: (would like to see a rough time-line for you to achieve the activities you list. Sort of a map of how next semester will go. this will be for your use to make sure you achieve all that you set out to do by the end of next semester. For example, how much time will you leave yourself to pull all the work together and present it graphically?

Program: this is a good start, and I am glad you have included some justification for the sizes of spaces. Additional information such as how many students will be enrolled? How many will be on site at any given time? Will there be additional spaces to promote interaction by community members?

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions or even if you wish to skype to discuss anything further. Thanks.

Project Statements
ALERT! I spaced on daylight savings time ending - is there any way we could push our call back an hour (7pm your time?) or even 30 mins? (6:30). Otherwise, we could do tomorrow - any time before 8pm your time.

Actually, I have a meeting today with next semester's masters projects faculty, and it may be good to call you tomorrow so I can give you a summary of what to expect next semester...

sorry for my confusion and any inconvenience it is causing...

Project Statements
Hi Amy,

I just submitted the latest version of what I have. I have been struggling somewhat with what exactly I want to achieve with my project (that's why it has taken me so long to submit something) but I think I am getting closer to what really intrigues me about it. I have changed most of what you have seen except for the title. I know that you commented last time on how you thought that the title 'house' was odd. What I mean by it though is that the facility would have the familiar, welcoming, and informal ambience of a house, in contrast to what a typical school might be like now. Maybe this point is not necessary in the title?
Talk to you tomorrow.

Thanks,
Charlotte
