Well, the past few weeks have been active...

We have been given a new project for the second half of the semester. To begin, we had to build a scaled model of East St. Louis including a 3D print of the St. Louis Arch. As a studio, we work pretty well together when are able to self-govern and structure our own schedules. There are no hard feelings when groups form and tasks are given. While we still have some work left to do on the site model, it was pretty successful. Thankfully, we finally decided on what the trees will be... and it will not be crumpled paper on pins. (a sigh of relief from me.)

Most of our decisions were decided by a committee of people, and communicated on the illustrious white board.


The boys working.


A landscape test... Yellow foam... Highly toxic but fun to play with.


Katie constructing a building.


Brian constructing the base


Mark getting ready to go play soccer... love the beanie.


Ivan's Face, too close for comfort, but ... He also plays soccer but without an interesting hat - It's a shame, really.
