Professor Healy will be unable to attend our critique
due to an impending deadline
According to Mr. Healy, cataloguing the affordances of the environment is an act of abstraction. The power of the work of Peter Zumthor, Steven Holl or Daniel Libeskind lies in their ability to create an extra architectural concept, an idea that organizes and validates the following design decisions.
Abstraction or not, the research methodology we have employed has resulted in a database of information from which we can draw certain concrete conclusions about how humans experience their environment. The question of an “extra architectural concept” will be an integral part of how we proceed in Phase II.
One way of approaching this task is to absorb the spatial facts of the site and take a position based on these facts.
Libeskind’s Jewish Museum succeeds in this respect because the concept of the design is so closely related to way in which the Jews were living in Berlin at the time they were taken from their homes. In this way, Libeskind validates his concept for the form of the building and maps the horror of events in one gesture.
Water to water is intimate, like kissing.

"the most profound experience of intimacy is that we are born into well being"
M. Dudley Weems M.D.
Lead Psychiatrist, The University of Georgia
Dr. Weems will be unable to attend our critique due to time
difference and physical impossibility.
He will, however, continue to provide feedback
and validation for our ideas.
Dr. Weems has, with over 25 years of experience in Student Health, a keen since of the basic principles that govern our behavior. In the following interview he discusses some of these principles, as well as his take on what the term intimacy means.
"if you can’t see if something is behind you, then that leaves all sorts of imagination for what might be there. It’s reassuring to know that somebody has your back—that somebody is taking care of you—and that you don’t need to worry about it."
