PLAN 2020

This has been one of my favorite courses. I really enjoyed getting to work through the full planning process from not knowing anything about the site to developing a detailed set of recommendations and plan for implementation. The studio is divided up into different topics and each one is a group. Group work is something that stresses me out, so I was concerned about the whole semester being based on group work. Be sure you pick a good group from day one. There is the opportunity to switch groups after the first module, but the semester will be easier and flow better if you choose to stick with the same topic/group. Professor Guerra was fantastic to work with and gave great feedback during desk critiques. Make sure you have changes in your work from class to class that you can point to. Nothing disappointed Professor Guerra more than when a group showed up to class with nothing different from the previous critique. Also, be sure to use your studio time productively. It is a great time to work with your groupmates, and it is less work you have to do outside of class.
