Week of March 23rd

Mon, 3/23:
DUE: Writing on your tour. Over the weekend you were encouraged to take someone on a tour of your chosen site. The intention here is two-fold: first, to think of this writing as a revision based on experiential research in the field, where you are designing your writing in conversation with other people (collaborators?). Second, to see the tour as an opening version into a project about/on the site. Like the Reverse Charrette project that came before it, and the charrette project that preceded that, the last few weeks of this course will be in development of a project that you make, built around your experiences with your location. It doesn't have to be a historical account of the site, but hopefully it will unfold the place and it's forgotten or overlooked aspects. 

In-class: Discussion on Dark Days and Peter Marin's Helping and Hating the Homeless.

Wed, 3/25: Tour Egan House with Stella, TBA

Fri, 3/27: Seattle Central Library, Database training and history, TBA
