Ramblings of a Railfan: February 2012

So, the last time I updated here was back on 1 January of this year.
I did nothing of significance over my time off and I've be back in school for almost a month now. So, what am I currently working on?
It's called a Precedent Study and the objectives of which are:

To be able to research a specific architectural work.
To be able to determine the structurally and architecturally significant component(s) of the work.
To be read and interpret architectural drawings specifically as they relate to structural components.
To be able to analyze photographs to understand the specific architectural work.
To be able to analyze the photographs in conjunction with other documents to determine size, position and material of building components
To be able to determine an appropriate scale at which to represent the significant component of the work.
To be able to choose appropriate materials and techniques to construct a model of the project.

So, the studio I'm in at CCNY's Architecture Program is doing studies of Paul Rudolph's houses. The one I've been assigned to is the residence at 101 E63rd St., New York, New York.
