You are asked to complete one final blog summing up your experience of these texts. It is your chance to overview your own performance, then to print out and submit your collected blogs as hard copy to the Faculty Office for Friday 10th January, or Monday 13th January if you are part-time.
Some theoretic texts can be very daunting indeed. For instance sitting down to read Fredric Jameson this morning was not particularly pleasant for me. Indeed I would say it was a huge disappointment. But I carry on. After all I carried on with Lefebvre, and he gets better (or at least easier) every time.
The aim of this course is to introduce you to something that is often daunting, and simplifications have to be made. I hope at the very least we have established an understanding as to why you do not necessarily understand what you are doing in the contemporary world of architecture (!) And sometimes, that you have to laugh, not cry, and position yourself in the time of man, not just time of life.
It does not matter how many sessions you attended or not, your blogs will demonstrate your effort of interpretation in the hard dark lonely land of the night, and this will always be partial, flawed, or perhaps, thrillingly brilliant. Let's see.
Helpful hint: For those who think their blogs are too long, top and tail them with sharp introductory and take home statements!
