Please don’t forget to mark your project location on the map! To do so you can click HERE.

This will take you to the Google My Map page. Click on the link in the top left corner just outside the map window, where it says save to My Maps. It will then ask you to log in to Google Maps (login as for the blog). As you are logged in you can then edit the MutationLocation map that appears in your My Map list and add the location icon, or more if you have more than one location.

Found a very interesting lecture - New Urbanism by an american architect and urban planner Andres Duany

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=3F372CFBA3A87C1F

Not sure how old it is, but I found it quite current and provokes a lot of questions about complying to codes and standards (and the conventional line of thought), which in turn is restricting the creation of successfull urban design projects!

Here are some more lectures within similar categories - http://www.sfu.ca/city/city_pgm_videos.htm

As already mentioned by Colin in the brief I will give you some feedback on the portfolio, but mainly this session is to set out the plans for this term. The main topics will probably be your chosen location for project and the application of the strategies you have developed last term.
