Hi!

Now that you have had a good (?) break, we want you to study all available material on Jorn Utzen's Sydney Opera House and prepare diagrams and key text to explain the following:
- contextual influences on the design
- functional influences on the design
- technological influences on the design
- other influences on the design
Upload these on your online portfolios before the start of next term, please.

Good luck!

Here follows the long-awaited holiday homework (part 1):

You are required to prepare diagrams based on your Kalk Bay project to explain the design informants, as follows:

1. Technology (explain structure, materials etc.)
2. Function (circulation, served/servant, public/private etc.)
3. Context

Post these on your online portfolio, which will again be assessed as part of PM3. Also update your online portfolio and provide a link on the face book group, or e mail the link to me at Morkelj@cput.ac.za

I suggest you get cracking... watch this space for Holiday Homework part 2...
