I met with Lynda, now officially my thesis supervisor, for the first time today. I feel as though I have 'a stamp of approval' now... this thing I have started, and have worked on for the last few weeks all on my own is somehow validated. I am pretty amazed by the freedom of 'individual research.'
Main issues that came up were how to 'represent' these layers of memory I'm wanting to analyse and use as a tool for design, the idea of the subjective.. can I validate my response if it is personal? What happens when it is handed on to the users of the space? my own aesthetic I have already developed, precedents, and just how wide and vast this field is. Memory in different cultures.
One thing I am quite happy about is settling on my sites. I am going to look at sites/buildings I previously visited in Jan '11, pre Feb quake. These buildings are probably demolished, but I have memory of them before they were. That is important.
