1. Another City: 25d "Inside Miss Los Angeles"

Readings:

• Convergences: "Home" 290-301 --   We chose this cluster because it is a personal space where you can be yourself. Be free. Have an emotional attachment to it. A place to go to everyday. Our reasoning is the home cluster will assist our knowledge of project space in class by creating different forms of space. Because every person has a different space not only the size but the comfort of having that space. Each room represents a person or different people. Home can also not be such a great place. Everyone comes from a different background and different ideas of home. Home can be where your heart is. We chose this because we all feel we can relate to this cluster in different perspectives, opinions, and ideas. --Group Bohen, Revivo, Ramos, Kim

  Our group chose this subject because we all have our sacred places in our lives. The Sacred places we have are part of what describes us as individuals. When describing our sacred places allot of questions arose like, why is it your choice? how long has it been that you have decided this place as your sacred place? We are very excited to show the whole class our own personal places and what they mean to us. --Group Maciel, Min, Valderrama, Blades
