Field journals are a valuable tool to record observations and build arguments across many
disciplines. Architects use field journals to record thoughts, reactions, and observations
on-site and to explore a wide range of issues related to architecture. These can include
exploring environments, charting changes in styles, materials, form, and ornament,
building connections, and constructing visual arguments.
Create a field journal of architecture that explores an issue or theme related to the social
and environmental aspects of architectural design. You are encouraged to explore new
interventions in the built environment that would promote social and environment
