Project
Development • Making a Framework
2 Aesthetic Immersion as a way of
testing a mapping and testing a program • Photography Exercise
Your assignment while in Boston is to seek out and
document with photographs those objects, landscapes, and/or infrastructures
within the city that will help you develop your initial programmatic proposal
for the Fens. Your proposal may be little more than a hunch. You may be
absolutely sure about your proposed program. Whichever the case the exercise
will help you gather precedents, information, and context in relation to
the project. You are developing an argument and substantiating your proposal.
(And you may actually debunk your own proposal, but this is also a useful
exercise). And your photography may cross into the territory of design.
Just as mapping is creating a new world and creating, in essence, designing,
so is the act of photographing. If the photography isnít design, it should
lead to design. |
