More Manifests

You need to reprint your spreadsheets for tomorrow as well. There should be two manifests, one for the extents of things and one for the duration and then two sets of four graphs one set documenting the extents of your room and the other set notating the events that occur in your room and or the frequency of use of the objects that occupy your room. These spreadsheets are physical documents used to understand how you live in your room and how your things affect that space.

Drafting Supplies

I have rearranged the materials list to the left so that everything you need for tomorrow is above the X-Acto knife. If you don't have some of the secondary things then we'll be able to make do. I keep my drafting gear in an old tackle box.

Quote of the Week

From the late 1960s until very recently...architecture has been very "process" driven. That is to say...architectural form is the outcome, or registration, of a series of design procedures. These procedures are in control of the architect, carried out by graphic means, and have their own internal logic. That logic in turn is seen to be embedded in the architectural object as meaning and formal organization.
