All,
Regarding the books:
- Everyone should use Blurb.com (http://www.blurb.com/create/book/pricing#small-square) with a simple white background.
- Size 7”x7” – Softcover. The size of the pages must be set per Blurb requirements. You can download an In-Design template. The book can be uploaded as a PDF and I recommend this method.
- Pages – 70 min - 80 max. ($16.95 on Blurb).
- 2 pages with brief introduction and a table of contents.
- 20 pages of research. Most of you will have no problem with this.
- 20-25 pages of interim sketches and diagrams, notes and mid-semester presentation. Include programming data in this section. Describe your intentions in program diagrams into the site analysis.
- 2 page thesis statement.
- 8 pages of site analysis or if no site, project study analysis.
- 20 pages of proposal – this includes photos of model (physical or digital), site plan, plans and sections, diagrams. Sketches are good, but please, no redundancy.
- 2 pages that describe where the project is going and what the next semester will be about. Example, how will Viet respond to suggestions about the hospital boat?
- Don’t be shy – put everything in the book!
- Present with hierarchy and clarity. It doesn’t need to be chronological, but it’s probably best to do organize it that way.
- The book is due at the first day of class. Printing and shipping takes up to 2 weeks so you need to coordinate. It would be best if you could print 3 copies (no extra shipping charges), but if too much, 2 copies.
- This can all be done online, so no excuses.
- For those who can meet, let’s set a date mid-January. Does Saturday Jan. 15th work? Have a “draft’ printout and PDF of the book for review.
- “Walk-Thru” boards. – 30x40 vertical mounded on foamcore. It should show your development and the final outcome of the research as a complete proposal in drawings and models. Dedicate half the board for the final documentation and the other half for the research. This is also due first day of class.
- Have fun!
