Homework fun

Here are the homework assignments for February. Please focus in on the research project, but don't neglect the design project.

- Complete Research project!
1-2 page summary of research, including their name, class name, title, text, max 2 images/diagrams, and resources/references for more info. Papers must be emailed to both Anya and Ethan by the next class.

- Prepare Research Presentations!
Minimum 2x3 ft poster graphically communicating their work. Other, more creative presentations encouraged -- but folks will be moving around and half the room will be presenting at a time, so don't do something that needs the whole space or would require everyone else to be quiet.

This is one clear place where we learn from each other!

- Do site Analysis & Assessment for 2-3 more elements of scale of permanence - your choosing. remember to refer to useful topic checklist in binders!

- Meet with ALG once.

Any questions, comments, concerns please email me or Ethan.

Can't wait to see you soon!

Topographic model of my site

Hi all! I wanted to post up pictures of a topographic model of my site that I made during the ice storm that kept us bored for a few days... We printed a big topographic map of the property and cut out and labeled each elevation line. I then traced and cut out each level of elevation in foam board and glued it all together. The next thing was to paint in the natural water flow of the site, you can see the large pond that is painted in and the stream that flows into it from the rest of the property. The edges of the model are the two roads that border the property. There isnt a key for the model yet, but this is a model of 50 acres of pine forest and pasture at the lower levels.
