Michael: It's is fine with me if you do the paper for both classes but since it is for both, I expect a particularly well-researched and well-done paper. I can see you next tues. in the morning around 10. Prof. Bayor

Subject: Atlantic Station HTS & 'Public' Space Projects

Michael Gamble & Ronald Bayor:

 

Due to some of the commonalities between “The City in American History” and the Arch ‘Public’ Space Seminar I decided that I would use the same topic for both the HTS Term Paper and the Public Space “Journal.”  This way I can devote more time to the subject for both classes.

 

Below is an outline of plan of “attack” and basic organization. Please review this and inform me of your thoughts of how I might improve it.  ALSO, Monday afternoon sometime between studio and the end of the day, I will be speaking with my studio professor, Harris Dimitropoulos, to discuss what he knows about Atlantic Station because of his background in the subject.

 

RONALD BAYOR:  When would be a good time to meet up with you to discuss your take on the project?  My class schedule is as follows

MF: 10-11 2-6  

W:   10-11 1-6

TR:  130-3 430-6

 

MICHAEL GAMBLE:  I would like get together with you to discuss this further outside of what has been discussed in class.  Also, if you could help with getting me in touch with the Architect you know who is working on Atlantic Station that would be great.
