ARCHITALK!

One thing that happens in studio (at least in mine), I often am fielding questions on the fly and shouting out answers that may not be heard by all. This semester, my multimodal form of communication is my attempt to solve this problem.
I look at the problem statement , tasks and schedule and say "What on earth do I mean here?" ,  "If I can't understand it who will?" 

Architects are a jargon driven group, we have developed a shorthand lingo that is not universally understandable. Sure there are things we need to say that haven't been said before, we forget that these terms are not universally known (we our semester cloistered in the studio  and on the chance that we escape and talk to regular people we need to translate what we know into a common understandable terms and concepts.)

I will make a good faith effort to stay out in front of the studio to provide timely clear guidance. (Was that a pledge? It sure sounded like it.)
