Are you all clear about what you have to work on from the final crit?
Next Tuesday will be the final tutorial – this time to check your whole body of work as portfolio, to prepare you for your final presentation on 5th June.
As well as carrying on finishing your drawings beautifully, you should work on composing sheets that coherently present your project. This will take a lot of time, so work simultaneously both on finishing drawings and composing sheets. Time manage well.
We expect you to bring your portfolio in a presentable manner and format, all of it, so that we can advise you what’s missing.
Please book your slot as usual by commenting on this post. Both Matthew and I will be there (I will join around 11:30 onwards.)
10:00 / 10:30 / 11:00 / 11:30 / 12:00 / 12:30 / 2:00 / 2:30 / 3:00 / 3:30 / 4:00 / 4:30
Make the most of your two weeks till the final review – it will be a very productive week, final days can be amazing. Keep on going!
First of all, all participate in the process of exhibition prepararion – while Adelia, Justin and Muguel will act as your core group – thanks. It’s your show, let’s get involved, start by commenting on Adelia’s post below!

Dear all,
Next tutorial is on Tuesday 1st May with me, Takako.
Please book for your slot by commenting to this post. Your early response will be appreciated.
10:30 / 11:00 / 11:30 / 12:00 / 12:30 / 2:00 / 2:30 / 3:00 / 3:30 / 4:00 / 4:30
Also, can someone post a message re:degree show who attended the meeting on Monday, and tell us what has been discussed?
Dear all,
Both Matthew and I were pleased to see your works today at the crit.
Keep your momentum going, set your target date every week to achieve staged goals. It is really critical to manage your time effectively.
Also don’t forget to eat well and have some proper rest!
However, it was appalling that we couldn’t start till 11:30 this morning. It’s embarrassing having to repeat myself – if we say 10 am start, we start at 10 am with all of you.
We will have tutorials for the next several weeks.
Note it will be Monday 23rd next time as we informed you.
Here’s the running order. For those who are not on the list and still want to see Matthew, come at the open slot at the end of the day. If you can’t be bothered, we won’t be bothered either.
10:30 Justin / 11:00 Adelia / 11:30 Dora / 12:00 Ruby / 12:30 Inga
14:00 Ellen / 14:30 Elaine / 15:00 So Ra / 15:30 Miguel
Dear all,
For those who presented in the final super-crit of the term, hopefully you have clear ideas about how you could develop further and finalise your design during the Easter Break.
For those who didn’t show up, you missed a vital opportunity. Whatever the excuse, you should have presented your work even though you felt you needed more time before showing it – that’s precisely why you need feedbacks. Don’t ever do this again.
Also for those who showed up late, crit is for everyone’s all-day participation – I feel ashamed to have to mention this to you, the third years. You would learn from other students as much as from your own feedbacks.
The course is for you to learn. I am very disappointed with the lack of committment of many of you. For those who are reluctant to learn, we tutors are obviously reluctant to teach.
There’s little time left. It is your responsibility to time-manage the rest of the year. See Matthew’s previous post re:how to organise your work, and try to keep steady progress.
If you desperately need tutorials, contact us.
Good luck everyone, bear always in mind Easter break is not holiday.
It was good to see everyone’s work pinned up on the wall at the external examiner’s review. It should have been a stimulus day for all of you having seen the whole range of works of 4 platforms. It should also have made the platform’s objectives and standing point clearer in your mind.
At this crucial half point of the year, also with the next super-crit in 2 weeks, the next things you all need to aim as discussed are
PROGRAMME/SCHEDULE OF YOUR PROJECT
Make a ‘to-do list’ first, then time-scale them into your schedule of work till the end of the year, leaving 3 weeks at the end free of tasks.
ONLY NEW WORK AT TUTORIALS
Do not repeat yourself or make us repeat ourselves over the same work you produced weeks ago.
DEVELOP YOUR PROPOSAL
You should all have developed/explored your proposals by super-crit in terms of spatial/material/contextual quality, by the best mediums relevant to your proposal, but should include plans, sections and perspectives(ex and internal) engaged with your site. Be inventive in your communication to best describe your proposal – video, animation, story board, painting, models etc etc, whatever the forms are.
Should you wish to see us before next Tuesday’s tutorial, don’t hesitate to contact us. We will make ourselves available as much as possible. Matthew can see you in Kilburn, I can see you near Tottenham Court Rd/Goodge Street/Covent Garden. I can do it Wed, Fri (after 6pm) and the weekend (time to be confirmed).
Your individual feedback forms with indicative grade range will be ready next Tuesday. If we issue them to you during the tutorial, it will be sensible to see you individually, rather than random group tutorials. If this is the case, you will have to wait outside the studio for your turn.
You will also need to fill in PPD forms on the day and give them back to me, so please take some time to fill in while waiting for tutorials.
The portfolio review is on 23rd, when all of your portfolios need to be submitted by 10:00 am. For this purpose, I will expect your work to be in a good portfolio format – if not final.
However, I expect to see only NEW works on the totorial day!
Tutorials will start from 10:30, not 10:00. See you all then.
These were previously meant to happen last Tuesday 13th, we will let you know the new dates as soon as possible. Possibly will do it on next tutorial.
With portfolio submission date Friday 23rd approaching, I will expect you to show us works in portfolio format as much as possible on next tutorial.
