February 26th

So we decided to camp out all night for College Gameday. Paul Debnam came out around 3am and chilled with us for like an hour just talking. It was pretty legit.

The GameDay set.

We packed the Coliseum tonight!

And then we packed the floor! Knocked off #1 Duke! Go Hokies!!

In studio this week we had to draw a 3/4"=1'-0" wall section of one of the buildings we were studying. I chose to draw the Kunsthaus Bregenz by Peter Zumthor. It is 100 feet tall above grade with another 30 feet subterranean. Therefore, my drawing was 10 feet tall!

My mommy is my Valentine this year.

February 11

A couple days late due to the extensive filter process, but here is a sample of my pictures of Relay's Best Dance Crew featuring Fighting Gravity on Friday night. I took a total of 806 pictures for the whole event and filtered it down to 225. I will be posting them in a flickr account shortly and will be sure to post that link.

February 9

We had section, plan, and elevation drawings due a couple days later. These are the ones I whipped up and will serve as working drawings throughout the next couple months as my ideas and design change and develop.

Sorry I know I've been posting a lot of Architecture lately, but that's kind of all I have done for the past week and a half or so. Lame I know. I'll be sure to get some new more interesting things up here soon.

February 8

My professor told me I should take pictures of my recent sketch models because they would be good for my portfolio, by showing how I work and come up with my designs.


The first one is 1/16" model in the site plan that helps the study of the galleries structure and some lighting conditions. The site helps provide a presence that the gallery holds in the site.


This is a 1/8" section model that helped me also study structure and how the building met the ground. I also began studying how to circulate through the gallery space. My professor really liked the roughness of this one, because he says, "It speaks a lot to your ideas and the roughness of your design right now. It has a lot of play, and you won't be afraid to rip it apart and tape new things to it as the design develops." Indeed.

February 7

New editions. Looking for at least 2 more to fill it up. Not sure what though.
