i'm coming from an architecture curriculum and have been using networked
writing environments(NWE at UF) for the past two semesters in seminars on
urban design theory. We(meaning the class(es) and I) have found the
webenvironment (hypertext, mailists and moo) to be an excellent context in
which to model a discourse on changing concepts of the public realm in the
American city. traditionally this type of activity occurred as an adjunct
to the studio setting with lectures, and papers on various topics. Now,
it's a hybrid form combining studio like sessions of notecards, strings,
realtime image projects and critique with readings, and class moo sessions.
as a supplimental thread to the discussion on topics, how do you use
images? what relationship do they have to the text? and, how are you
evaluating *design*? is this purely based on personal choice?
