XCO: (Nov 28, Dec 5) To Do List for Week #13+14 & Plan for Together Time
======================================================
Make sure you read those and ALL other assigned readings by Wed Nov 28.
REVIEW SCHEDULE OF LAST PROJECT(S)
There will be no other readings this semester, and remember that we will review projects for the last two weeks and try to relate the text each one of you chose to your work (when that is a stretch we will just focus on your projects).
You all have to have some type of representation (can be very simple) of your various independent projects on the blog under the ‘projects’ category. We can discuss this next week and doing it can happen by end of semester but will be part of your grade/evaluations.
Remember that you agreed to stay until 1pm on the last 2 weeks so we can make this all fit.
(25min blocks for each presenter)
Nov 25 (group 1)
10:15am Arman
10:40am Jenny
11:05am Talena
break
11:15am Michael Iauch
11:40am Annabel
12:05pm EB
(extra time to 1pm is to account for transitions. if by chance we end at 12:35pm you can all leave)
Dec 5 (group 2)
10:15am Joe
10:40am Candace
11:05am Wolf

11:15am Laurenn

12:05pm Michael T
(extra time to 1pm is to account for transitions. if by chance we end at 12:35pm you can all leave)
Last , but not least. We need to schedule final 1 on 1 meetings. These will ideally happen after your group review, but should happen when your work is done so I can review it before we meet. I will have a sheet with times you can sign up for on Nov 28, so make sure you bring your calendars.

After Yesterday’s discussion about spaces and in particular elevators, I felt inclined to post these two works I did that focused on elevators and space.
Spaces Of Our Times – Times Of Our Spaces
Spaces of Our Times – Times of our Spaces from Michael Tauschinger-Dempsey on Vimeo.
Elevator Dreams
Elevator Dreams documentation from Michael Tauschinger-Dempsey on Vimeo.
Elevators are fascinating machines. Without them, highrise buildings would not have been possible. Just imagine, climbing 126 flights with your groceries. Their mechanical doors are like giant vertical eyelids. They open and close, open and close, open and close, day in and day out, at daytime, at nighttime. They transport unsuspected cargo, reveal unexpected spaces; when you enter them it is as if you are entering another dimension.

XCO: (Oct 17) To Do List for Week #8 & Plan for Together Time
================================================
To Do List Before 10/17
We are now closer to the end than the beginning…our balance shifting the that other half of the semester where dreams must be maintained and also kept in check with reality. It is still Fall Break, so I have avoided sending any notes, but have a quick look at this one so you know what we will be doing tomorrow and what will be expected (nothing new, just reminder of what was discussed in class).
1. Make sure to fill out doodle calendar set top by Candace by 9am tomorrow:
I will fill it out last as based on best times for all to meet and we will determine first additional times tomorrow (i.e., can’t do that if you don’t fill it out).
2. Make sure you are caught up on ALL readings from the semester. This includes finishing all texts in the Goffman and Douglas dropbox folders. We will discuss all texts in dropbox except the Barthes (already discussed) and Lefebvre (will be read later this semester).
3. Beginning this week (after 10/17), we will incorporate your suggested readings and screenings into each week for the rest of the semester. I will add a few things here and there, but remember, the focus from now on is y/our projects and their specific methods.
————————————————————————————
During 10/17 Together Time (10:05am-12:35am)

Koolhaas Junkspace
Rem Koolhaas’s essay on Junkspace is a highly enjoyable (it was for me at least) rant on many of today’s preposterous architectural developments and fits nicely with our experiences at Northpoint Mall.
