Listening to Eno

Austin Kleon (a big fan of his blog and books on creativity) posted these notes from listening to Brian Eno speaking at this Broken Records podcast. I have also been recently reading on Eno. So I made my own notes below just to extend Kleon’s notes. It was interesting for me how I added my own words ( marked with a ‘+’ symbol) triggered from hearing / mis-hearing / swaying / misunderstanding from what Eno was saying. Note-taking is such a simple wonderful tool to record and play with thoughts.

Precedent Diagrams

For semester 6 design studio, we are attempting precedent studies to get a grasp at the institutional typology. Instead of studying only the history of this particular type, we looked at a larger landscape of projects to study various conditions – form, tall buildings, program, grid. Suneha’s diagrams here very sharply record each example and elegantly uses the design brief as a lens to look at these eclectic examples. The specificity of this study comes from its focus which is revealed in these crisp diagrams and the questions posed to the project.
