Unit D will be taking a break from teaching at UEL for the coming year, or two, or three..... In order to focus on professional work and to recharge the batteries!
The Blog may go through some cleaning up over the next few months. So stay tuned!

Above is a PDF file of the attendance for term 1.
Dear students,
I trust you all had good holidays? Good!
Above is the calendar for the remaining terms of the year, term 2 & 3!
Make note of the mid-term review dates, the final review dates, and the end of year show dates.
I will be sending out another message for Tuesday the 9th! So stay tuned!!!
But a heads up for all of you we expect to see some progress in your work Tuesday. By now the teams should be able to discuss what sites are potential locations for the multifamily dwellings and why.
Also most of you are not taking the use of the blog seriously…….. I expect some progress to be posted before Tuesday, individually and the teams.
Best
Jeff
Dear students,
The uniteD and NEOCORTEX group blogs are up and ready for you to access and post work.
I am still waiting for the other 2 remaining teams to get it together and name there group.
Hey you people it is not like you are naming a child; now that has consequences if you get it wrong. It is just a name to work under.
To access the group blog use the same login that you would for you own page. You should be able to access both blogs.

Dear students,
Well if you thought that I was angry about the lack of attendance on last Tuesday…. To my surprise I was informed today that over half of the unit has not paid the 100 pound studio material fee.
The following people are down as not having paid the fee;
Jeremy
Mubina
Carolyn
Magdalena
Wilson
Michelle
Mario
Bruna
Jaspal
Aras
Taesik
Anthony
We are at the end of the term and I am tired of reminding you to pay this fee!
I see this as a conscious effort on your part to screw up how the unit is taught and run. So I will give all of those the opportunity to pay the fee tomorrow Friday the 1st of December.
After tomorrow if you have not paid the fee you will not be seen by Tom or I until it has been.
Best,
Jeff

and Mr. Wilson Lam
I do not know what happened today! But neither Tom nor I will tolerate this lack of regard for our time and effort in arranging and executing the Units Program. If you want to get on our bad sides this is definitely the way to go.
I do not want to hear any apologies from any of you for today! If you want to apologies to anyone try you team members and unit mates.
Both Tom and I get the impression that none of you are taking this phase of work very seriously. Well you had all better start taking everything very seriously with regards to the Unit work from today until the day after the end of year show in July.
I expect all of you to start acting like serious and committed architecture students!
If any of you have problem with this request and for the reaction to the situation that was drawn out of me today please feel free to speak with Mark Hayduk.
I expect since over half of you didn’t show up and a large portion of you decided that showing up late was more important than being on time, that you are all working well together and producing vast amounts work about the site and are starting to build up strong critical positions about the site and the typology of the multifamily dwelling, right? No not yet…. Well you had better have things by Friday and they had better be of a high quality in intellect and graphic skill.
Also, due to today’s slip in rigour we will be having a pin-up when I get back from my trip with Diploma Unit 9. This pin-up will take place on the last day of term, Friday December 15th. So change your tickets! The term is not ending early!
This Friday there will be tutorials. I will be emailing out a list of times for the team tutorials, so be on the lookout Thursday. In addition to the unit work I would also like to see where everyone is with there technical studies submissions. Site diaries (2nd years) and building appraisals (3rd years), I want to see your progress on both!
One thing that I will let you in on for this Friday, I will not be looking at anyone’s computer screen! If you can’t manage to print out your work, and I don’t mean crappy A4’s, I can’t manage to view your work!
Last issue, I am tired of requesting that you all use the blog and post your work and progress. So new rule, I will be checking the blog regularly. Those that do not post weekly will not be seen for tutorials.
I have noted those that did show up at the appropriate time and those that messaged me.
So from today the rest of the year starts now!
All the best see you Friday and welcome to the demands of studying Architecture!
P.S. I have not forgotten about the single person dwelling project! Have you? I will be asking to see the progress on this very soon too!!!!
