In class last week, John Folan said, "Don't be afraid to make ugly drawings." I took that advice to heart, and made a series of 15 pencil on black paper study sketches of landscape conditions in Pittsburgh. These sketches helped me to explore the occupancy of the Urban Fabric very quickly, and they helped me to identify the basic constraints and opportunities of each condition very quickly. I have narrowed down my possible study field. From here, the drawings need to be imbued with more rigor, to understand the pitfalls and strong points of occupancy, and what form my intervetion can take in each environment.
