After Takes 1–3, you now have all the material you need for your house and housing biographies.
Take 4 is now about evaluating, processing, reviewing, and presenting. The minimal structure from the previous take serves to provide an overview of your case and to enable comparison with other cases from the archive, while the in-depth analysis serves to clarify and articulate your case.
Take another close look at the website’s structure. It offers various formats. The homepage specifically features the city/block scale level. It displays the block as an (adjusted and aligned) axonometric projection with a detailed representation of the house, including its use. Together with the other blocks from other cases, this creates a “conceived” city. On the page for each case, the text format—including a profile and descriptive body text—is on the left, while the formats for photos, documents, videos, and in-depth text are displayed on the right. Under each format, you can add a caption to include the source, usage licenses, and a brief description. Using these options, consider how you can best tell and present your house and residents’ history, and create all formats accordingly. If necessary, go out into the field one last time to take specific photos or finalize another form of presentation.
Documentation
Develop the final version of your project and compile the necessary formats. Pay attention to the file types and their sizes; upload them to the website as well as to Moodle. Based on the compiled material, obtain the second level of consent from your fellow researchers and, with your consent as authors, release your work to us as teaching material.
Minimal Structure
Profile (The profile can be expanded and thus adapted to individual stories: What else is important in your building and resident biographies?)
on the website and as a PDF on Moodle
Text (300–500 words)
on the website, including a bibliography at the end of the text, and as a PDF on Moodle
Axonometric views of the block and the building (detailed view of the building under study)
as DWG/DXF, PNG, and PDF on Moodle and PNG on the website
Floor plans
as DWG/DXF and PDF on Moodle and PDF or JPG on the website
Photos (exterior and interior)

In-depth work
Expand on 2–3 formats (extend the text, incorporate the literature we have read; create a 3–5-minute video; translate your research into more detailed drawings, etc. …) and/or create expanded representations that showcase your project.
