SUBMISSION OF ONE DVD AND UPLOAD OF ONE PDF ONTO THE BLOG (maybe it includes a movie link to youtube)

SUBMISSION OF DVD IS AT THE FACHGEBIET ADIP AT 4pm, on level 6, or in the ‘briefkasten’  letterbox for fachgebiet A61 on ground floor,

(when you enter the tu building, you walk right, past the cafeteria and at the far end the left door, there are letterboxes) 

DVD INCLUDES

A_PUBLICATION OR BOOKLET

i hope that you all work with indesign for the documentation, as said earlier, photoshop is not really working for documentations!!!!

ABSOLUTELY important: submit your documentation as ‘packed’ indesign file! that means that in that file all images you used in the document will be saved in a folder in their original resolution, which is important because the pdf alone will provide really low res images.

the dimension of the publication is up to you, the format could i.e. also be a publication which consists of a number of publications, like caitlyn’s, elba’s and laure’s final presentation, but caitlyn, elba and laure will need to document and submit the process and concepts 

you might wanna have _a frontcover with image and title_a contentpage with an overview of what is where in the booklet_kind of chapters which make clear what we are looking at in the following pages, like i.e. Urban occupation action, research, early sketches, first concept, …_a separate final or first chapter on the final design proposal or project result

B_MOVIE FILES

also submit on the dvd any movie files in the best resolution you have as an original file and not downsized youtube files.

PDF BLOG SUBMISSION INCLUDES 

A PDF OF YOUR FINAL PROJECT

please upload your final project as pdf with one keyimage which shows your design.

upload onto the blog by 8 pm, friday, july 24 

submit a pdf with a low file size (max 5mb) on the blog under the new final submission category,

you of course can use the same document as your dvd submission, but concentrate primarily on the final project. the overall size will be too large. that means you might need to downsize your file, you might even need to delete some pages or quite a few pages. this is also why the use of indesign is so important, as photoshop produces too large files and you can’t downsize them afterwards.

This will be our final reading group and we will conclude with Gilles Deleuze, and also with Deleuze and Félix Guattari. We will read the first chapter from Deleuze’s The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque, “The Pleats of Matter” (1993)  in order to go in search of a very special understanding of material and its intimate rapport with immaterial forces. I recommend that you bring to the reading group examples of how the fold has found its way into architecture through the work of Peter Eisenman, Greg Lynn, UN Studio (Bos and van Berkel), and others (see the issue of AD dedicated to Folding in Architecture). The fold is usually interpreted in a very literal way by architects, and we will discuss the benefits and limits of this approach.

We will also read what is sometimes referred to as the aesthetic chapter from Deleuze and Guattari’s What is Philosophy?, “Percept, Affect, Concept” (1994), here we will be in pursuit of an understanding of sensation, and we will assess the way in which Deleuze and Guattari offer an account of architecture “as the first of all the arts”.
