Hi, below is important information. Please take time and read it.

- Mondays tutoring. Mondays tutoring is only 15 minutes per group. Please be on time and ready to present a draft of your presentation.

- Critic. Tanya Kim Grassley has been a critic in this course for several years. She is a concept developer and has worked with initiating ideas for many companies, some of them on a global level. She will give feed-back on your projects on Thursday. http://www.imaginarylife.net/who-we-are/

- Other invited guests. We have at least one more invited guest and therefore there might be some changes in the schedule. Please let me know if you have invited any guests in relation to your project, so that potential rescheduling does not come in conflict with your invitation.

- Presentation vs. submission requirements. The presentation on Thursday may differ from the material that you submit to Social. The presentation and the submittal have different purposes. The submittal is about gaining knowledge and the presentation is about convincing the audience of your idea.

- Book review PRO2:2. The book review should be a minimun of 1 A4 page with 12 points text size. However it will not be the amount of text that will be examined but the quality of the content.

- Opponent group. Remember to send your presentation to the opponent group on Tuesday so that they have time to read it on Wednesday and prepare their feed-back. You should also submit your material on Social according to the submission requirements. Please submit the Thursday presentation on Social as well.

- Submittal 1:3. I am still missing the submittal of two groups. Please submit your material to Social so that I can examine it.

- Additional assignment (komplettering). A reminder that absence from reviews (presentations) will result in an additional assignment. I will let you know if you need to submit an additional assignment during next week.

- Questions. Please post questions here on Social or send me an e-mail.

See you on Monday!

Hi,

I have now reviewed all the submissions for PRO1:3. A lot of inspiring reading!

I would kindly ask you to upload your next two submissions, PRO2:1 and PRO2:2, on Social named according to the instructions and with your group number and all group member's names listed on the front page or at the start of your presentation if it is moving image. Thank you!

Both PRO2:1 and PRO2:2 are now translated to English. In PRO2:1 I have added some clarifications and links that will support your work with the Life Cycle Analysis and Budget. Let me know if anything is unclear.

In PRO2:1 you are expected to filter your ideas through the constraints of reality. You are expected to initiate a dialogue with a collaborator (could be your target group), potential partner or investor. If you are having difficulties with finding someone to involve in your project please let me or your teachers know and we will help you with contacts. I posted notes with suggested contacts to some groups when I reviewed the submission of PRO1:3.

See you on Monday!

Good evening,

The teams/ groups are now listed under Course Description/ Teams on Social. On thursday 23/4 you should send your material to the group that will be presenting it on the review of PRO1:3 on Monday 27/4. The material should also be uploaded on Social under Inlämningsuppgifter PRO1:3 (on 23/4).

You can find Helena Leach's lecture on graphic design under Course description/ Lectures.

Below are some links about giving and getting feed-back.

Let me know if you have questions.

A clarification of the submission requirements for the review of PRO1:2 - you can use as many A3 sheets as necessary or as decided in agreement with your tutor. Make sure that your material contains both an irrational and rational approach (including a fair amount of relevant data to build your case). There is a detailed description of the requirements on the PRO1:2 page here on Social. If you have any further questions about the coming review or submission please post it here or send me a mail.

Extended dead-line!

The review in Övre Ateljen starts at 13:00 pm on Monday and you can work with your projects until then. At 13:00 you need to pin up your material (push-pins or adhesive tape). The School of Architecture can not provide printing possibilities and you will therefore need to find another place for printing your A3's. Let me know if this is a problem and I will help you out (070-6655008). Övre ateljen is booked from 9:00 if you would like to use it as a working environment!

See you on Monday and have a nice weekend!

Hi,

I understand that you have had problems with using the web-links in the pdf's and that you also have not been able to copy-paste the swedish text into google translate. I apologize for this and have now translated the assignments for PRO1:2 and PRO1:3 (the rest will come as it takes some time to translate and re-layout everything in Social). The english translation is now under the same links as the swedish pdfs here on Social.

This is the first year that we use Social in the course and the transition is not exactly flawless. I would say that the english translation needs some polishing too, but I hope that it is good enough to be understood.

I hope that you had inspiring tutoring today with Alessandra and Max and wish you happy Easter holidays!

PS I appreciate when you give me feed-back on the course and suggestions for improvements!

Alessandras mail: adp@kth.se

Max mail: max@fabel.se

Please let them know if you can not make it to a tutoring.

Hi,

Everyone has now been course registered and you should all have access to the School of Architecture.

Thank you very much for all the submittals and TED-talks. The TED-talks are listed here in Social under "Other". Take a look and get inspired!

I wish you a nice weekend and see you on Monday at 13:00 in Övre ateljen. Don't forget to bring color pens.

A note: Please name the files that you submit according to the instructions.
