Question: This week instead of lecture, readings and discussion, you will begin working on your "On-Site Investigation." By now you should have an idea of a site in the greater LA or SD areas that features a city plan with close connections to one of the urban planning modes we have discussed so far in class. If you are lost on selecting a site, please email me ASAP so we can get you pointed in the right direction.
For this week, you will visit your site for 1 to 2 hours, taking photos and notes (mandatory). Please include yourself in a few of the photos so I can see your smiling face on site!S ubmit a paragraph describing the site, along with five research questions and three bibliographic, scholarly sources that will aid you in contextualizing your research and final paper. Include at least one of your photos. Please submit this information in a Word document in the assignment link below. You won't be reading other students' work this week.
Looking ahead: The final report (due November 23) must relate key observations to one of the topics discussed in class. For example, if you visit a City Beautiful plan, you should compare the plan to what we learned about City Beautiful in our lecture and readings. Students are asked to comment on at least one of their classmates' reports. Grading is based on the site report's relevancy to the class subject matter, the report's critical engagement with the issues raised by the class, and the student's participation in discussion during Week 14 (when you post your final report).
My site is la Brea
Are you familiar with Park La Brea? I'm attaching a website here that will be useful. In your final report, you could connect the development of this site to both the Garden City and the "Tower in the Park" model, which you'll read about soon. Let me know what you think.
