I'm still reading my texts, highlight passages and take notes in preparation for my article. I hope to be done with it within the first weeks of the holidays even though I haven't started writing yet. I have the feeling It's not going to take very long because I got accustomed to writing texts over the last couple of weeks.

I had a tough training course this week that left me no time for my research. I'll try to get back into the topic again and create upload my outline...

I spent some time undisturbed at the library and did some further reading on our topic. Now I'm going to prepare another PPT which is supposed to answer the questions asked by my fellow students. It's also going to be the the connection between the basic architectural outline we presented in our first PPT and the closer look on individual pavilions that is going to follow next week (or over the weekend).

Re: the weather

Albrecht, where were you at 7 a.m. on Monday? In Dresden, the sun was out and it was quite warm! Pls read my email regarding your research.

Ready to start the day! I searched for some 'academic' articles yesterday evening and found a quiet a few. I started by entering the names of Cret and Hood into the Google Scholar search page and connect them to the Century of Progress exhibit. All I found was some articles on other buildings they designed and links to Google Books. Even though some pages are missing in those previews we find on Google Books, they still can provide a valuable resource. I also came across various academic papers that were protected by a password and required mebership/pament in order to access them. I did not link those. I should check, whether some of those pages are accessible from the Slub although I doubt it. I still have to edit some of the Delicious links. But first I'll pay a visit to the bakery.
This weather sucks, all my cherries will be rotting by the end of the week if it continues to rain like that :(

I revived the old tradition of devoting the first two hours of the day to my research on world's fair architecture. My teammate and me agreed to have a closer look at the hall of science as a prime example of fair planning and building design. We'll meet at the library today at noon to agree on a strategy for our further research. Thus we can get started to produce some results. I neglected delicious over the last two weeks. I hope I can catch up soon.

10:25 As far as academic work is concerned, yesterday was a complete failure. Too much distraction at home. 
I'm at the sulb now and hope to get some work done.
