This week I had no class and nothing due. I’ve mostly been working on my group project for CG116. We are redesigning the course search page for Banner, the new system that Brown has adopted to handle everything (registration, financial aid, admission, grades, etc). I am doing the HTML and CSS. That part has not been so bad, but it has been really frustrating to work out conceptually the best way to arrange things. It has me tickled. I have never worked on a project like this with other people before. It is an interesting experience.

On Tuesday I went to New Haven with Peter to visit two Louis Kahn buildings. One was beautiful (Yale Center for British Art) and one was all right (Yale Art Gallery). We also checked out the Yale Art and Architecture Building designed by Paul Rudolph. It was probably the worst most oppressive building I have ever encountered. We also saw Peter Eisenman, who is apparently famous in the architecture world, sitting in his office which he possibly shares with Neumann, a Brown professor who is visiting Yale.

On Wednesday I went to the beach in Newport, RI with Katie. Yesterday I didn’t do much. Today I went to the Recycling Center with Peter and then a photo walk with Donald. Tonight is another Cobra concert.
