Midterm presentations next week!

Yesterday’s site visit gave us a chance to explore the scale, architecture and streetscape around the Barclays Center/Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park development. Looking ahead to next week, midterm presentations take place on Tuesday 10/23 and Thursday 10/25. In Tuesday’s class we circulated a sign-up.

Today in class we discussed developing a good research question (and viewed the Prezi) and also explored our site through google maps and street view. On Thursday, bring a printout of a map of our site to take notes on if you like.

We have another site visit on Thursday. You have a choice: meet in our classroom by 2:30 to take the subway to Barclays Center together, or get there on your own and meet at the site where we sketched the Barclays Center, in the plaza in front of the main entrance. Please be on time so we can start promptly. Dress for the weather – clear skies, temperatures in the 40s, and a strong breeze are in the forecast.
