Wow, I walked out this morning to a chilly mist. I guess since we are nearing the end of October I should be expecting this sort of weather, but I was happily gliding on my 70 & 80 degree weather for the past month. With the cool weather comes the reminder that our next jury along with the holidays are soon approaching.
For this jury I have decided to focus on the curriculum aspect of the Small Town Studio. I have been throwing around several ideas such as student makeup, should it be targeted at graduate students, undergraduate students, or both? Should these students only be from the college or architecture or will it be open as an elective course for any student who is interested? This biggest question/issue I want to approach is how should the students interact and travel to these communities? Would it be best to bus students to and fro, house them with area residents, put them up in a hotel, create a mobile learning unit? As for these questions I will be putting them into scenario form and will be looking for feedback, as to narrow and focus my project a little more. So much to consider and so much to complete.
Along with the professional project I am knee deep in Incorporated Tulsa County's Impediments to Fair Housing. This is a very inclusive document which is taking a large amount of work, documenting, and especially time.
As for Halloween I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday, I myself will be celebrating at my grandparents-in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary party. A happy reminder of the good things still worth celebrating.
