#larch12

I started collage works for my other blog. Exactly what made me think of revamping my photo blogging by doing more of it here as well. I left my pen though, so pardon the ugly handwriting on my design collages. 

The site visit yesterday rendered good concepts for two of my classes. We were able to hear the very inspiring stories from our host institution, plus we were all given innovative ideas on how to start our own aquaponics garden! It was a very exciting field work. They even gave us free snacks with fresh harvest from their urban farm! Amazing!

       The only LArch related "instagram special" update.

Decided to try design criticism activities. This time, I let the class design their own civic space and choose the most apt / most feasible / most "nakakatawag pansin" design from the 29 design outputs (Big Happy Class!). I love this photo because I felt how they somehow hone the "design critics" in them--no biases, no "group-ko-'to-so-ito-na-lang", no "friendship-over-sige-ka" thing going on, and purely participatory planning and analysis of the design outputs and the category or design rubrics to comply with (hoping it was really that during that day).

My other class just produced their first ever staking plans, the other class just had a drawing session (with only a few recognizing the Oliva / Sago Palm / Pitogo /Cycas), and the other class just moved the nursery near the atrium.

I haven't really posted a lot of updates as of late due to the hectic class schedule. Two of my classes are also participating at two Christmas activities/project, I have to hopefully face the laptop to produce an abstract in a week, lecture sets are yet to be checked/edited, and I haven't organized softcopy files/documents of my 2 classes pa (clean freak na 'di halata). 

That and one projects reappeared after 4 months? Here we go suppliers!
