I
was recently shown drawings by SARUP student Amin Mojtahedi, and am delighted that he shared them.
Amin explains "I draw and I move freely between different architectural compositions, artistic genres, or even research ideas without feeling committed to, competitive with, or critical of a certain style or school of thought. Besides, I think there is a strong correlation between happiness and engagement in some kind of creative work. All this is what makes me enjoy ‘exploring by drawing’ so very much!"
Amin is a PhD(c), M.Arch, Grad School Fellow, and instructor/TA here in the School of Architecture and Urban Planning. He is also a researcher and designer in Workshop Architects with a focus on the architecture of social learning in higher education environments and workplaces. In addition to his work on the pre-design, programming, design, and evaluation of these places, Amin's publications include writings on: place theories, pattern language, the experience of international students, and social capital on campus.

Each semester, SARUP turns into a beehive of creative activity, with the collective energy of students and faculty resulting in projects and presentations that excite and intrigue, as they generate enquiry into the disciplines of architecture and urban planning. This blog is an attempt to give a glimpse of our life.
