Midterm Blues

Week 8

What I’ve Made & Done

What I’ve Been reading

Journal articles/Theses

Other media

Up next

  1. Wrap up precedent project research on tennis courts or other recreational spaces + design/art for midterm presentation next week

  2. Draw up project proposals based on what I’ve learned about the tennis courts and library as third places to send to community staff either next week or the week after — depending on what seems like the best way to present these ideas and committee feedback

  3. Compile background research on community (and consider where I’ll put this in the thesis write-up)

  4. Continue “rural design” booklet photo collection and begin layout design

  5. Continue exhibition planning — what other items do I need to begin designing?

  6. (Didn’t do this last week) Think about starting lit review! Pretend I’m starting the thesis writing - what’s it called? What’s my problem statement? What’s the lit review focused on? Start compiling allll the research around that theme — altering this plan to adapt research for the midterm presentation
