Campus Bloopers 3-A Passport to Learning from our Mistakes
Presenter(s): Robert Murrin, AC Martin Partners; Richard W. Thompson, AC Martin Partners
Convener: Marilyn E. Cox, University of Washington - Seattle

Continuing in the spirit of Campus Bloopers 1 & 2--taking ourselves a little less seriously, laughing at our own mistakes--this session is based on the premise that it is often our failures that teach us the most. The presenters will examine how we got those forgettable, ugly duckling buildings on our campuses, illustrate their relationship (or lack thereof) to the rest of their campus environment, show successes and failures at fixing them, and attempt to define the lessons to be derived for campus planning.


This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-eighth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–38, in Miami Beach, FL (USA), in July of 2003.

Audiocassettes and MP3's (on CD's) of these and other SCUP–38 sessions are available for purchase here.
