Eduardo Galeano’s writing escapes simple classification. He blended history, anecdote, testimony, myth, and more in single paragraphs, even sentences. The stories in Soccer in Sun and Shadow are narrative blends (an important part of architectural thinking) that we’ll talk about for the rest of the semester. You don’t have to know anything about Soccer, you …
Three steps for getting Project 2 off the ground. Each step addresses some of the issues that were brought up during Monday’s review. Step 1: Identify a specific material condition (folds, thinness, openings, texture, etc) in your project 1 On-Site models. We will work together to identify one material condition. Own that condition, really own it, …
Images from today’s review.
Charge your images with words; charge your words with images. “We are now much more vigilant when we approach an image, aware that we may be looking at something other than a registration of “reality”. In severing the umbilical cord between the photograph and its object, the introduction of the digital blurs the division between …
This week went by very quick — lots of images, casts, and a little bit of talking. The first three days of week 06 are critical. Make decisions, make compelling images, revise your casts, write and reflect on your work. Take intellectual risks — don’t be boring — by building specific narratives that expand the …
It's time for each team to own their projects (casts and imaging), and begin to talk more about their work. It's difficult to talk about the uncertainties that the projects foreground (i.e. : "I don't know what to say"). TRY -- tell a story that is specifically related to the things you've done. The readings, …

We will talk about more criteria for considering "site" in studio and during our visit. The images below were downloaded from the SDSU Digital Image Archive Aerial view of South Dakota State College, …
You've seen images of Hubert van Eyck's paintings pinned up around studio -- more from our conversations about Late Gothic / Early Netherlandish / Northern Renaissance art -- and more to come. Look at the collections of people: the form(s) they make, how they occupy space, the depth of the space, their collective focus, and …
The work outlined below is due on Monday, September 16. We will discuss these criteria on Wednesday, September 11. Consider three primary factors to make scale a part of the affect of the images you are producing: Association with the ground(s). On Wednesday (Sept. 18) we will add ground (dirt, sand, soil) back into the …
Start using, testing, changing, working with the imaging setup in the studio. Camera positions, lighting, etc — experiment with the setup. It won’t be as dark at the Imaging Lab, but it will be more flexible and it’s ours. I will check out two cameras on Wednesday. I made these images in the studio with …
