Schedule

I have worked out the following tentative schedule:

May-June 08: preliminary research on Architecture in Vienna at the turn on the 20th century. Focus on the goals of architects at that time, including social, political and economic factors. Begin narrowing down options for architects and works to study.

June 20-July 7: Vacation. Don't think about the project for awhile and take a fresh look when back in Germany.

July 8- July 12: Research on main architects of interest: Adolf Loos and Otto Wagner. Find out which of their buildings are open to the public and which represent the original design.

July 12: Symposium in Darmstadt on Jugendstil architecture (Joseph M. Olbrich, Adolf Loos, Otto Wagner, and others were discussed)

July 12-14: Refine project goals. What do I want to get out of the project? What will the final products be? What aspects of the architecture will I focus on?

July 15: Travel to Vienna

July 16-18: Final selection of buildings, visit and photograph. Get information on where to find plans/drawings by the architect.

July 20-25: Drawings for building 1

July 26-31: Drawings for building 2

August 1: Return to Darmstadt

August 2-5: Complete final touch-ups on drawings, integration of theory elements, etc.

August 7-16: Conference in Amsterdam. Can work mornings only. Work on composition of final presentation.

August 18: Return to Tucson
