UD 5622 Methods of Urban Design Final Crit under Francois Decoster
After 3 intense weeks opening the MA UD programme, we presented our work to Go Hap Chor (former AVP of the Singapore HDB) and Low Boon Liang (programme coordinator) Things went well... very well in fact! hehehe ;)
i've seen tons of these critique sessions in foreign architecture schools' journals. what's the set-up of the critique? any similarities with the set-up in UST? i'd question also about the differences, i'm sure there are many.
In most proper architecture schools, projects/plates/solutions are not judged on a personal basis by the design professor... instead the work is presented in a final critique session wherein distinguished/experienced critics are invited to sit in and provide real word/creative comments/criticism on work.
In fact professors merely serve as facilitators during the critique process... and thus you're grade doesn't come from a highly one dimensional score sheet (ala UST) Napakaraming differences... and it just goes to show how terribly behind architectural education in the Philippines is...
So there you go... its not a conference... it was a Final Crit of the opening module of my MA here in Singapore.
ill have to put that in my list to do when i become dean. ngek!! that and making uniforms a thing of the past. paunahan daw kami ni alan abiva for that spot. hahaha
