Today's class will be moved because the room needs to be set up for testing tomorrow. I will email you the new room number and post it on the door of room 405.
I would like to sit down with each of you for 20-30 mins to hear more about your research interests and what information you have found so far. Keep in mind that the research for this design studio is not just written but can include photographs, diagrams, ads, video, mixed-media. We now have a course blog http://inday4social.blogspot.com/, all course material will be uploaded here and you will be asked periodically to upload your work. Please bookmark the page and become a follower.
If you are unsure of what issues you would like to investigate, TCDC has a book titled Thai Culture in Transition by William J. Klausner which might be helpful.
Based on our discussions last class, here are a few book/reading recommendations:
Oom- Mechanical Brides by Ellen Lupton (TCDC) I have a photocopy of part of the book
Peach- Harvard Guide to Shopping (on reserve in Architecture library and in main Chula library)
Job- Thai Culture in Transition, "Three Views of Thai Buddism" (TCDC)
Pa- Accessible architecture :age and disability-friendly planning and building in the 21st century /edited by Joachim Fischer and Philipp Meuser (TCDC) Nice graphics for an accessibility manual
Win- Studs, Gender Space Architecture "Clothes, Closets and disClosure" (KB)
Mint- Can Designers Improve Life in Non-Formal Cities? Harvard Design Magazine (KB)
May- check out some of the other infrastructural and architectural projects on Urban Think Tank's website http://www.u-tt.com/home.html and to help you categorize and organize Project ToolBox
Best,
Aj. Kerrie
