Midreview

Midreview is Thursday, November 1. For Midreview, required are
- Fully resolved site and program analysis
- Schematic plans and sections
- Multiple iterations of your physical or digital models.
- Perspective sketches of interior relationships that you are working towards.

At this point, everyone should have a clear intention for their project that can be explained in three sentences. It is not about the small moves that respond to small site considerations- you all need a clear goal that all of your decisions are working together to respond to.
