A SCULPTURE

MY FRIEND MIKE FISCHER (Mike is a year 2 master of architecture student @ UMD) AND I SPENT A FEW DAYS AFTER THE END OF THE SEMESTER WORKING ON A SMALL SCULPTURE PROJECT WHICH WAS MORE OF A PROCESS PROJECT FOR US RATHER THAN A FINAL ONE. THE CONCEPT WAS TO CREATE CURVATURE USING A MODULAR SYSTEM. WE USED 1"X3"x24" BLOCKS OF WOOD AND PLACED THEM ON TOP OF ONE ANOTHER AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AND IN A WAY, DESIGNED ON THE SPOT.

KIDS AT THE ARCHIECTURE SCHOOL

KIDS LEARN ABOUT ARCHITECTURE THROUGH FUN LITTLE PROJECTS LIKE BUILDING WITH VOLUMES, DRAWING BUILDINGS, LASER-CUTTING THEIR NAMES AND DIFFERENT SHAPES THAT THEY DESIGNED, AS WELL AS BUILDING WITH CARDBOARD BOXES.

ARE WE DONE!?

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND MEMORIES

THE UNDERGRADUATE YEARS HAVE BEEN FULL OF SWEET AND SWEET-BITTER MEMORIES OF WORKING HARD AT THE STUDIO & HAVING NO SOCIAL LIFE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL HOW ALL THE BITTERNESS IS REMEMBERED AS SWEET.. NOW THAT IT IS OVER. WHAT WE HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THESE YEARS ARE EVERLASTING FRIENDSHIPS, A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND ITS APPLICATION IN LIFE, AND AN EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUBD THAT IS WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THE MONEY WE PAID THE SCHOOL.

REVIEWS

This was our last "mini" project for studio. Unforgettable years...

PLACING SPACE & more...

Here is where you can go to find out more about the creative design/research course I took this past summer. It was basically a course on the effects of movements on space and vice versa and also the concepts of balance, shape, circulation and etc...
