| Back to the grind... |
GLUT was fun but it's back to the lecture hall for us.
We're on the 3rd and final part (the 4th part, listed as Exam Period, doesn't really count, no?) of the Urban Theories course. The morphology of cities is explored through the lens of the economic, social, spatial and environmental disciplines.
By this time, we know it's never gonna be exhaustive and we have to put in extra extra extra time, reading the required papers, googling, tedexing, youtubing, and what-not. But it's all good, this is graduate school after all. (Funnily, I say the same in my first day opener to my architecture students: this is college, level up.)

| The lecture on social urban development that wasn't quite... |
 |
| A workshop on a required reading that was probably only read by about two-three people in our working group. And I can't say I'm one of those. Shame. |
With spatial and environment urban development, I can get by just fine. With social and economic, too, that's what I thought -- only thing is that I learned these from a leftist third-worlder persuasion. So yah... anyhow...

| Best no-fuss team, so far, Mbak Marini taking the lead. |
 |
| Urban spatial... pointing out spatial features in Rotterdam with the help of Google maps and streetview (no joke)... |
 |
| Urban envi... What the title says... |
I don't know how we fared, there wasn't any synthesis for this workshop but, with 2 architects (not counting myself) in the group, it was lit. Thanks Marini and Selma.

| Meanwhile, our study sessions (remember, The Explorers) are getting intense... |
