SPRING 2013 LOADING/PARKING INSTRUCTIONS
When the spring semester ends we know you need to take your books and equipment out of your studio space. As you drive in the alley to pick up your things, please obey traffic and parking rules and regulations and have the utmost courtesy toward others. Please be as quick and cautious as possible during loading.
1. Where students can park to load studio equipment/supplies for spring 2013 loading: In the alley behind Seaton, between the east and center wings, only in spaces marked "For Service." There are only two of these spaces.
2. When: Only from 5 p.m. Monday, May 13, through 5 p.m. Sunday, May 19, 2013.
3. Since there are very few spaces available for this purpose, leave your vehicle there for no more than 10 minutes at a time.
4. If you do not follow these instructions and get a ticket, do not bring it to any APDesign faculty or staff member. We cannot "fix" your campus parking ticket. Thanks for your cooperation.

ARCHITECTURAL ASSOCIATION VISITING SCHOOL
Carleton University, with the Architectural Association in London, is organizing an intensive nine-day digital workshop for both undergraduate and graduate students from July 5-13, 2013. Directed by Tobias Klein (AA) and Johan Voordouw (Carleton) this is a speculative project to attempt to define a new type of spatial practice, one that derives from point clouds, animations and immersive environments. We will trek out to Gatineau Park to use 3D scanning equipment both from Carleton (CIMS) and ScanLAB from the AA to develop a false landscape. This layered gradient will be populated with digital models and animations. Throughout the workshop we will have consequential lectures that question digital practice, in-depth seminars to improve skills and collaborative projects that allow you to meet students from the AA, Carleton and other global universities. If you are interested in participating please visit our microsite,
