Ex 2-2
Here is the link for this project. This assignment will take a great deal of outside help to gain a better understanding of light wood framing. There are many invaluable resources available in the library that you may use. There is a copy of Building Construction Illustrated available on reserve. This assignment is to be at least halfway completed by the next class period. We will finish the assignment as a class on Tuesday. Until then take the weekend to walk around and look at construction sites to see the details in the making. There is a wonderful example of this on Glenna Goodacre, by the Quaker Wal Mart.

RESEARCH PORTFOLIO PAGES
As I mentioned during tuesdays informal portfolio presentation, it is best to begin your portfolio pages now. On friday we will continue to discuss the progression of your model precedents, but I would also like to review the portfolios with each group. Have your chapters started so we can talk about your layout concept, information strategies, sequences and the overall content that you wish to include in your document. These DO NOT need to be printouts, we can discuss your work by looking at your inDesign files on the computers.
Make sure to be constantly collecting images/notes/drawings from all of your tests. Just like this guy.

House Keeping Part 3
If you look to the left on this page you will see a list of links to the other class blogs hosted by you, the students. If you do not see your name over there then I did not receive your email. Please try to fix this problem before the next class period.
Also on the left you should notice two resources related to Form Z. These are both hosted by a service called scribd, which is more or less a database of people sharing documents. Think facebook, but with pdfs. It takes just a couple of clicks to set up an account and I highly encourage you to do so. Not only is it a very powerful tool that allows you to embed pdfs within your blog, but a membership is also required to access the linked Form Z resources.
We will soon have a folder on the server, be prepared to use this to access other resources and to submit large assignments for class.

Two Assignments
Assignment I:
This is a digital modeling course so at some time we have to begin modeling. Your first modeling assignment is to choose a construction detail from your research, and model that detail as accurately as possible using Form Z. At the moment accurate dimensions are not as important as an accurate scale. You will submit a render of this model to your blog for a daily grade.
Assignment II:
Using the InDesign skills taught to you this last class period, you will revise your research layout. Pay attention to important elements such as information hierarchy, spacing, use of white space, limited fonts, color, extraneous graphics and image quality. You must post an image of this revised layout onto your blog for a daily grade
both assignments are due by 12:00 pm, Tuesday, Sept. 2nd
