On final thesis/essay-writing

Some clearifying notes on your up-coming thesis/essay:

Each student writes individually, 4 pages minimum of text as said before. The text shall in some way be related to your project. The future book is a documentation of the course, in order to be presented to the Arlanda and Central Station - people, to future readers/ employees etc and but it is also a "material memory" of the projects and the course in general. Last and not least it is of course also a piece of design in itself.
If you choose to write a more theoretical or reflecting text associating to aspects of your project, make sure that a presentation of your project and the site you have choosed to work with (Arlanda or Stockholm C) is included. Ideally share some aspects of the working process with us readers, it is fascinating for others to follow your work, both ups and downs, not just focussing on the final results. Make references and add a reference-list in alphabetical order as usual if you choose to make use of written sources.
Remember that your experiences of the site in the beginning of the course, and the workshop-exercises we undertook, are the starting point of the whole design process. It is a good idea to include parts of your early writings in the final text. I like to mention that your critique is valuable material here, and not just some neutral description of the environment at Arlanda etc.
It is important that you use your personal language in the final writing process. Your different backgrounds as designers, artists, curators, craftswomen etc are important, as well as your personal history. To write in a personal way is not the same at to be (too) private. Creative processes involve all your senses, that is why a strictly traditional academic language often seem too narrow in projects like this.
Best of luck with your writing! I look forward to your texts.
