Week 15




1.     A question for Chris: Why have you chosen to use Snafus as a part of your work? How does this influence the way you start to think about your projects also what do you learn by doing these types of drawings?
2.     LTLs reading talks about the idea of “two seemingly incompatible conditions occurring simultaneously: the normal (regulated military) and the fouled-up (Snafu). lf something is normal, everyday, and ordered then how can it also be disordered, jumbled, and otherwise out of kilter?” Thoughts???
3.     “The old standards of practice have been decisively critiqued by willful destruction.  In order to participate in the building of the reconstructed city, the practice of architecture itself becomes as radically reconstructed as the architecture required by the changed conditions of living. New principles must be articulated by the architect, and new tactics invented and adopted.”  Here Woods says that in order to build a new city new practices or principles must be built or established.  What do you think some new principles have been recently and what form does this take?  Is it in the form of materiality, or function or form?
