Every course programme should have a few learning objectives. Something new that the students would pick up on. So what is the learning objectives of assignment one.
The interest at the end of the day is the content of the brief proposals that the students will decide upon. I had a chat with Sad Tin just now, and I was reminding her about making decisions. The architect (student) now will have to make a decision on behalf of the stakeholders (client/s) on what design proposal should be considered to be developed on the site. I am sure not all the students are debating equally on it. Some would probably be designated model-maker, or doing other presentations. That is the nature of a big group. I would not mind students in the group debating about what should be done on the site. I think it is healthy if those not involved got involved later on, but for the moment, there are a few people in the groups that were designated as the decision-makers on what is to be on site. If conceptually everyone agreed, that would be fine for the group.
I told Sad Tin that the details of what is being proposed is secondary for this exercise. I mean, adding or subtracting the activities and functions of the proposal is an exercise that the lecturers will help to guide the students later on.
The most important thing are the decisions which would give the best potential development to the site. Giving a physical and contextual presence while contributing benefits tangible and intangible to the neighbourhood and the town. This should be illustrated by the urban context and responsive design principles learned along with the analysis done earlier.
