Next lesson in brief (the order might be changed):

1. First assignment presentation of those students who were not presented last week. Don't forget, this is the deadline of late submission. For further information read Terms of Completion. (You can find it on the right column of the site).
2. Small installations - Presentation by Bence and Bence
3. How to draw for design courses at BME - Small lecture
4. Studio work + Consultation: bring your own ideas, concepts, sketches, working models, photos and analysis of your site, examples that inspires you or anything what I forgot to mention here.

And, please, don't forget to join to the facebook group of the studio.

Second Assignment

You can download the second assignment from here.

For the next lesson:

• Choose the function [info point OR look-out point OR labyrinth OR park stage]
• Choose the material kit [wooden lath OR wooden planks OR plywood (or OSB) boards]
• Choose the place of your installation in the park (show us photos and drawings where you can explain why you've choosen that part of the park)
• Bring your ideas/concept. you can bring sketches, but I think this project is easier if you build a lot of working models.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions. You can ask here even as anonymus, or write us via facebook.

P.S.: Please don't forget to send me the digitalized version of your first assignment to doramathe at gmail dot com, thanks!

Tabán

The site of the next projects is called Tabán. Currently it is a green park close to Erzsébet bridge (the white one), but it was inhabited until the 1930s. As we won't have time to introduce you the site deeply, we suggest to all of you to make a small research to know the area and the history behind it. You can find many things online, here are some links to start:

Maps:
This is what Google Maps called Tabán. But this is what we (the citizens of Budapest) called Tabán, and this is the project site too.
And via this link you can download a map of the project site. Normally this map is for orienteering running (yes, it is a sport) but as it is well detailed, it will be good for your projects too.

Text:
You can read about the history of Tabán on Wikipedia (in English). And there is a nice
Photoarchive with a map. Actually the user interface of the site is not so fresh, but I guess, you can manage to find the infos.

But the best way to know more is to spend time on the site:

Transport:
By Tram18: one stop from Gellért tér/square to the direction of Széll Kálmán tér/square.
By Tram41 or Tram19: one stop from Gellért tér/square to the direction of Batthyány tér/square.
By bike: five minutes from the university along the Danube.
By car: baaaad idea. Parking is expensive there, and even hard to find a free parking place.
On foot: from the University it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk there along the Danube.

18th February

To summarize, next Tuesday there will be 3 important things:

First we meet in the school (at 14:15 at the classroom) where you can leave your drawings and models and then we are going to visit the site of the next 3 assignments together. I mean all the other assignments of the semester. So it's quite important.

It can be a good idea to bring a camera and take photos of the site that you can use later on for the other assignments. You can also take a sketch book and draw quick sketches of anything interesting you see.

After this little tour you are going to show us your super cool presentation of your desk.  Objectively and subjectively. Please don't forget to scan your drawings and bring them along on a flash memory (a.k.a. pendrive). I guess the presentations will last until about 8 pm, so prepare yourself!*

Finally we are going to explain you the second assignment. It won't take too much time.



* Everybody has 3-5 minutes to present their project, and we have about 5-7 minutes to discuss it together. Please prepare a clear presentation of your concept and idea. Take notes of what you want to say if needed. Everyone is welcome to say their opinion about anybody else's project. So be interactive, please.
