Day 19: Eleven Projects

On Monday of week 7, immediately following the mid-review, Gijs and I had a general discussion with the students about the review. One of the things we mentioned, was that in reviewing their work we found it interesting that each of their sections across Marion Street were distinctive--and characteristic of their projects in an almost symbolic way. Gijs had done a drawing when we discussed the projects, which he formalized and we sent to the students to show this. This drawing was a reminder to us and to the students that in designing a pedestrian bridge, each of their projects took a unique approach to the urban space of Marion Street. We also mentioned that we will be providing them with a fixed format for their drawings, as the intention will be to make the final review like an exhibition and then assemble the projects in a publication--with details to follow. In that context, those emblematic sections along Marion Street can be an identifying marker for each project.
