Balloting about to happen folks.
Get in early.

Christmas Reading #1.1

To Infinity and beyond!

Whether you're in my studio or not in 2019. Please remember I always have an open door policy to all who want to show/ share their work and thoughts with me.

Here is a list, (that will grow), of books and resources I can recommend for those quieter times over the break.

The Australian Ugliness by Robin Boyd is a text I'd like everyone thinking of undertaking my 2019 studio to read prior to the start of classes.
Also look at the following...

• The Fundamentals of Architecture: Lorraine Farrelly
• The Poetics of Space (Read as far as you can). Gaston Bachelard

Just for fun, get yourselves a 2nd hand copy of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. It's an absolute cracking read full of larger than life archetypes. Where the Architect is literally seen as superman. Lots more to talk about with this one. 

Millgrove Presentations.

It was a really hard call to leave students out from the client presentations.

Everyone from my studio that missed out, had many elements that were meritorious and were worthy for inclusion. But as I am the one organising this, I could not load it with all of the presentations.

However, if it is some consolation, the client has also been shared into the google drive with all the pdf's and videos, so even if you are not presenting directly, they will have seen the work you all put in.

Here's a thought

Be preemptive.q

Anyone who wants to be in my 2019 Design Studio could send an expression of interest email to Catherine requesting a place in lieu of no ballot being undertaken before reenrollment for 3rd year.

Just a thought.

Thank you

It has been a rewarding and enjoyable year having all of you for Design this year. Thanks for putting your trust in me, with your learning. I look forward to seeing you all in 2019. Have a wonderful break from here.

Best

Andrew
