I meant to put a little wrap up post on here as soon as the term ended, but I've been asleep since then.   Anyway... the first term of architecture school.... it had many ups and many downs, but even the downs turned out being awesome.  Regardless of being in studio almost 18 hours a...

So we are currently on winter break after our first term at Drexel, and I think the biggest thing to figure out is, what to do without studio work!??!?!

We have successfully lived through our first term in the Architecture 2 + 4 program at Drexel, and it definitely was not an easy feat.

Since I obviously can't fill this with content nearly enough, I have enlisted help from two studio-mates, Erik Mangano and Jacob Gulezian.  I have not a clue what they will post, but I'm sure it will be great!  Hopefully they'll fill in the one month gap that has been filled mostly with...

Well... this blog fell apart quickly against my will.  The last three weeks have been very strenuous.  My work load has been increasing in my other non-arch classes which takes up the time I used to write here.  On top of that, I got a pretty bad concussion two weeks ago which led...

Well, I've been too busy to post for the last week and however many days.  Because of that, I have way too many photos and examples of work to put up here.  We've done a whole lot of axonometric drawing, sketching, modeling, playing, eating, etc.  On Friday our midterm project is...

Alright, so it's been a while.  I have a three full assignments to go through here.  But first some personal stuff I guess.  Architecture school is time consuming.  So much more time consuming than I ever expected.  Last weekend I decided to take off Friday and Saturday... View full entry

It's the third day of week two.  I haven't gotten to sleep before 2am since classes started.  It's starting to catch up with me.  Monday, as a class we created the grading rubric for our projects.  Around 20 criteria were thought of and then similar ones were grouped together... View full entry
