La Villette fieldtrip

On Wednesday 26 we went to La Villette for fieldwork. I had prepared an approach but once we got there and were given the assignment I realized that what I had prepared was irrelevant and not the way to go. I had to come up with something else, so I took a look around to figure out how I wanted to photograph and document the architectural non functionality. After my visit and “promenade”, I reviewed the presentations and references given to us. I knew I had to come back with a plan in my head and retake pictures. I decided to document the Villette as such: the only consistency in the park is the grid of folies. So I will take a picture of the park from each side (usually 4 angles) of all the folies in the same order ( West, South, East then North- anti clockwise). I will start by following the vertical axis, so from the entry straight up to cite des sciences, and then follow the horizontal axis and do a snake-like path to hit all the remaining folies. Because of other projects, my schedule only allows me to go back on Sunday. I was hoping the weather wouldn’t be too bad but I hoped wrong.
